1st 6 (8) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has shown improvement since joining current yard and stepping up to around 1m in two runs, getting off the mark at Hamilton (good) last month when making all; she should give another good account off 3lb higher. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Struck form with consecutive wins in June (7f/1m, good); not quite at same level on any of her three outings last month but will appreciate this dip back into Class 6 and her current mark ought to be workable. |
4/1 |
|
6th 7 (6) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Won over 7f here and at Musselburgh (1m, good) in June, the latter coming off a mark 5lb lower than today's; has been held in both starts since and this prominent-racer may be high enough in the weights for now. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Eight-race maiden; kept on for third of six at Hamilton (8.3f, good; wore cheekpieces) last month but safely held on AW since; sports first-time blinkers for first attempt at 1m2f; others appeal more. |
8/1 |
|
6th 3 (6) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Promise as a 2yo and she ran her best race in handicaps when keeping on for third at Hamilton (8.3f, good) ten days ago; her best run came on Tapeta and she is one to consider. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won on nursery debut at Newcastle (1m, AW) in December and returned from break with two pretty good turf runs in the spring (both 1m); below that form twice since (1m2f/1m4f) but may benefit from this drop back in trip. |
7/1 |
|
6th 4 (6) |
18th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Ended 2025 with 1m nursery success at Newcastle in December; in the frame all three runs this season, not enjoying the smoothest of passages when a solid fourth of seven in 1m2f Wetherby handicap two weeks ago; not out of things stepping up in trip. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Off the mark at the 12th attempt when beating seven rivals in a handicap at Ripon (1m, good) four weeks ago; that was her first go over 1m and she drops into a classified event with solid claims. |
11/4 |
Betting Forcast
7/4 Amber Hamur, 16/1 Vitality, 5/1 Only Dream Big, 20/1 Horwich, 5/1 Balmoral Boy, 10/1 Positive Thoughts, 12/1 Dalamara, 7/2 Trucial Pearl
Verdict
Topweight AMBER HAMUR (nap) has done very well since joining Ed Bethell and can complete the hat-trick. Course winner Only Dream Big is next on the list ahead of Trucial Pearl and Balmoral Boy.[Ben Hutton]
