Son¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 81| D

7/4

Ex-Richard Hannon gelding who placed for the third time in 5 starts for Tim Easterby when third of 19 at York (7f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Likely to go well again.

Form: 7-22973

Abduction¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Jake Dickson⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 74| CD

11/1

C&D winner in April. Best effort since when never-nearer third of 14 over 6f at Ayr (good to soft) 10 days ago. The return to 7f looks ideal and enters calculations with Jake Dickson taking a handy 7 lb off.

Form: 418773

Diamont Katie⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 74| BF

6/1

Showed improved form after a breathing operation when scoring easily at Pontefract (6f) in April. Placed on next 2 outings but latest 7f Catterick fourth was no more than respectable.

Form: 851234

Native Instinct⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: E Bethell| OR: 73| BF

5/2

Creditable second of 8 on 1m Hamilton reappearance. Raced closer to the pace than ideal when sixth of 10 over 7f at Carlisle latest. One to consider.

Form: 6056-26

The Gay Blade¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 71| CD

7/1

In the form of his life with 6 wins from his last 9 starts, including 7f turf handicaps on his last 3. A further 6 lb rise demands more but he can't be ruled out in his current mood.

Form: 126111

Ameilya³⁹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: J P Sullivan| T: W Coltherd| OR: 71

150/1

Struggled over hurdles prior to finishing a below-form sixth of 14 in claimer at Tipperary (9f, good to soft) when last seen 13 months ago. Likely best watched on return for new yard.

Form: 6170/6-

Gressington^b¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Jason Hart| T: K Scott| OR: 68| D

10/1

Winner at Newcastle in December but below par since. Below that last successful mark but can only watch until showing more.

Form: 006080

Iris Dancer^b⁵^{(ex 4)}

Age: 8| Weight: 8-8| J: Rowan Scott| T: T Davidson| OR: 61

12/1

Has gained 6f Hamilton wins number 10 and 11 this month, the latter 5 days ago. Carries a 4 lb penalty for that. Does the majority of her racing at sprint trips but has placed over C&D before.

Form: 406121

Forecasts

Son (7/4), Native Instinct (5/2), Diamont Katie (6/1), The Gay Blade (7/1), Gressington (10/1), Abduction (11/1), Iris Dancer (12/1), Ameilya (150/1)

NATIVE INSTINCT showed enough on his Hamilton reappearance to think he has a race in him from this sort of mark and had an excuse for a lesser run at Carlisle since. Son acquitted himself well in a big-field race at York recently and is feared most ahead of Abduction.
