Pontefract 14:05 Odds Comparison

Belatedly off the mark in a 16-runner handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago, travelling well faced with a strong gallop and eventually scoring in ready fashion. Makes appeal again from 3 lb higher mark.

Got off the mark in 7f handicap at Catterick last summer. Dropped a long way in the weights prior to returning to form and winning a 9-runner handicap (13/2) at Carlisle (6f, good) 6 days ago, well on top at the finish. Still looks well treated under a penalty but has widest draw to overcome.

Three 6f turf wins last year and has worked his back to form this season, posting his best effort of the campaign when third of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (6f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Can make his presence felt.

Benefited from the drop back to 6f as she returned to winning ways in decisive fashion at Redcar in May. Kept on well under hands and heels when third of 12 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 26 days ago and she's not ruled out from unchanged mark.

Finally off mark at Newcastle in March and built on 2 further placed efforts when doubling his tally at Leicester in April. Presumably not 100% when a well beaten last of 16 at Doncaster 2 weeks ago and would hold solid claims if that proved just a blip, though draw is a shade wider than ideal.

Free-going hold-up sort capitalised on drop in grade when winning classified stakes contest at Wolverhampton at the start of the month and ran at least as well when a close second in a 9-runner Wetherby handicap (5.5f) 3 days later. Place claims again.

Runner-up over 1m at Newcastle just after Christmas but below that level in 5 outings this year. Does have form at sprint trips but doesn't appeal as being in the form to capitalise at present.

Without a win since final outing in 2023 but made an encouraging return when third of 11 in handicap at Catterick. Failed to build on that having raced too freely at Carlisle since and others possess more convincing overall profiles.

Some promise in 2 maidens last summer but down the field in that company on return at Newcastle and finished soundly beaten on recent handicap debut at Carlisle. More required with tongue strap/cheekpieces applied.

More miss than hit since winning at Wolverhampton in October and he was below form when fifth of 10 in a classified event back there (7f) 19 days ago. Now 3 lb below last winning mark and visor is back on but others still make more appeal.

Long-standing maiden seemed to benefit from first-time cheekpieces when third of 9 in a classified event at Leicester (5f, good, 15/2) 13 days ago. Return to 6f will suit but she's probably opposable again back in handicap.

Won at Thirsk last May but ended 2025 out of sorts and trailed home last of 9 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm) on return 25 days ago.
