Pontefract 19:22 Odds Comparison

Scored in gusty fashion from the front over C&D last month and having been unlucky not to double his tally for the year when back to form at Beverley last time, he can make a bold bid from a handy draw.

Winner of this race in 2023 and 2024 and while his losing run is a long one, he was unlucky not to finish closer when fourth at Beverley last time and makes appeal dropped in grade.

Followed up his reappearance win at Wolverhampton with a narrow C&D success last month (from Fuji Mountain) and only found one too good in his hat-trick bid at Ripon last time. That form has taken a few knocks but he's clearly at the top of his game right now.

Attracted support but extended a losing run stretching back to 2024 when down the field at Musselburgh last time. Remains on a handy mark having caught the eye at Thirsk on his return.

Ran out of steam when fourth of 18 in a competitive handicap at Thirsk (6f) last time, and while the drop back in trip should suit, he faces no easy task at the weights.

Returned to his best when belatedly off the mark under this apprentice at Catterick last time but is probably worth opposing off 5 lb higher in a better race.

Has a creditable record here but having started this year with a victory at Newcastle, he's been below form since, failing to land a blow in a similar event at Wetherby on his latest start.

Went close to breaking a long losing run over C&D (edged out by Betweenthesticks) last month but hasn't backed that up, for all he probably did too much too soon at Beverley last time.

More miss than hit last season and while he's entitled to be more competitive dropped in class on the back of his return at Thirsk, it's hard to be confident his long losing run will end here.

Dual 6f winner in lower grades last summer and while entitled to come on for her reappearance at Nottingham, this is a stronger race than she need contest.
