Pontefract

Has started better of late and got off the mark for the season over 1m at this course in June. Backed that up when chasing home one well ahead of his mark over the same C&D just 9 days ago. Has won over this trip before and has every chance of going one better.

Twice a winner this season over a similar trip at Doncaster and Beverley, both from the front. Likely flattered when fourth in listed race at latter course earlier this month before filling the same position back in a handicap at Newmarket 9 days ago. May remain vulnerable from this mark.

Bounced back to best to record a first win of the campaign at Yarmouth in June, having the run of the race. Found it tougher up in grade at Windsor 11 days later but has a chance of bouncing back here.

Won her first 5 handicaps early last summer but assessor seemingly caught up with her thereafter. Showed her ability remains intact when fifth at Windsor 13 days ago. Needs to build on that again.

Mainly done his racing on the tapeta, winning 3 times at Newcastle at the end of last year. Made the frame once from 3 starts this year, though hasn't been seen since March. Unproven on turf and may just need the outing in any case.
