Pontefract

FlatClass 51m2f
Verdict

EPHRON appeals as the sole progressive type in the field and, with his pedigree offering hope for this longer trip, is likely to prove tough to beat with further improvement. Shimmering Sands rates a danger for a yard that has dominated this race in recent years, while Yermanthere and Star Start are others who can have a say if at their best.

    Verdict
    Snapped a long losing run when winning 7-runner handicap at Ripon 11 days ago, well served by the sound gallop and beating Qitaal by a head. A 3 lb rise leaves him well treated on old form, but consistency has long since been an issue for him.

    Verdict
    Ended a 3-year barren run when winning 11-runner C&D handicap 21 days ago, racing freely but getting up on the line. A 4 lb rise looks manageable on past form and stable have won 3 of the last 4 renewals of this race. Bold bid anticipated under good amateur.

    Verdict
    Revived for this yard last season, winning at Redcar and Thirsk. Made a satisfactory return from 10 months off when 11¼ lengths sixth of 13 to Pentonville at Wolverhampton 13 days ago and entitled to step forward now, with the stable having already enjoyed plenty of success this month.

    Verdict
    Enhanced excellent record at Beverley when winning 9-runner event there in April, well on top finish. Bounced back from disappointing effort when 2½ lengths fourth of 11 to Mwafaq at Hamilton last time, but remains winless from a mark in the 60s and can on occasion flatter to deceive.

    Verdict
    Without a win since last spring but arrives in decent heart, not disgraced when 3¼ lengths fifth of 11 to Shimmering Sands at this course last time. Meets that rival on better terms but her keen-going nature often leaves her vulnerable to stronger finishers.

    Verdict
    Back-to-back winner over 1¼m last summer, including in a similar event over C&D. Hinted at a revival when third of 9 in 1m handicap here in April but failed to build on that promise at Leicester 10 days later. Has had a breathing operation since and he's well handicapped should he react positively.

    Verdict

    Verdict
    Losing sequence is mounting up but ran better than for a while when 2¼ lengths third of 6 to Pentonville at Brighton 8 days ago. More needed if he's to be competitive here, though.
