20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Four-time sprint winner who acts on any ground; his last success was 13 months ago but he had a near-miss behind a course specialist at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) last week; only 1lb higher here and he should make another bold bid. |
7/2 |

10th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Scored twice (5f/6f) last May and took a step forward with third of seven in 6f Catterick handicap 20 days ago; not out of things from an easing mark. |

9st 6lb |
Unplaced on all five starts on turf; has switched stables since his last run at Beverley last month and hard to fancy. |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Maiden who has posted a couple of fifth-place finishes back on turf this term; needs to raise his game somewhat and best form remains on AW. |

18th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Several good efforts during her 2yo campaign, including a Wetherby maiden win and close fourth of 15 in a Doncaster (6.5f, good) nursery; looks interesting on that form but she's been out of sorts in both runs this season and needs a major revival. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Had just two 7f runs on turf for this yard, winning over C&D (good to firm) in May, then third to The Gay Blade here (soft) 17 days ago; weights chance of turning things round with that one but Paul Mulrennan switches to Native Honey; a good run is still on the cards. |
7/1 |

3rd 5 (5) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Placed over 1m at Musselburgh (good) in April and justified strong market support when scoring over C&D (good to firm) last month, his fifth start for Jim Goldie; not sure to be aided by the forecast rain but still features prominently in calculations. |
3/1 |

30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Has run well over C&D in the past but Hamilton is her spiritual home and she has added another two wins at that venue this summer, the latest a comfortable front-running success (6f, good to firm) in Class 6 company five days ago; 5lb higher over an extra furlong on a different track and in a higher grade so this may not be her day. |
5/1 |
|
1st 4 (5) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Battled well for narrow C&D (good to soft) win a fortnight ago and lost out only by a neck over C&D (good) last week; back in action before latest 1lb nudge takes effect; likely contender again. |
11/4 |
Betting Forcast
11/4 Ingleby Archie, 4/1 Not Me, 25/1 Eartha, 3/1 Ashen, 7/1 Iris Dancer
Non-runners
Come On Over
Verdict
A tightly knit sprint in which marginal preference is for COME ON OVER who showed a good attitude when going in for the first time at Doncaster recently and can defy a 4lb rise in the weights. Course specialist Iris Dancer could emerge as the main danger back at her favourite venue, although both Ingleby Archie and Ashen can both play a part too.[Peter Entwistle]
