A busy Thursday and here are the thoughts of our Long Shot tipster.
Hamilton

Astapor has been a credit to his current connections and has won 6 times for them from 28 starts. He is a horse that seems to like Hamilton and his form figures at the Scottish track read 143631 with the latest win coming this year in May. Now just 1lb higher than his last winning mark, it might be best to ignore his last run where he was drawn 12 of 12 at Pontefract and could never get into the race. Astapor seems to handle most ground conditions and being drawn in stall 8 he will have the benefit of the stand side rails. It all bodes well for a big run and Astapor rates a 4 star each way Pick.
