Won four times last term but he hasn't added to that haul since scoring at Windsor (1m, good to firm) around a year ago; did go close under Laura Pearson at Redcar (6f) off this mark in May, however, and wasn't beaten far when sixth in Newmarket handicap (7f) last time; sole previous attempt in this headgear was inconclusive (didn't stay 1m2f).

Said to have run flat last time; tended to respond well to switches/removal of headgear in the past (back to cheekpieces from blinkers tonight) and won't mind coming back up from sprint trips, but Pontefract will need forgiving.

Form & Verdict
Better than ever lately and goes up in class tonight as he chases a four-timer off a 6lb higher mark; won over C&D early last month but does most racing now at 1m2f and wouldn't be best served by a tactical affair against this stronger opposition.

J: Silvestre De Sousa

Eight of his nine wins have been on the AW, including a hat-trick in February last year; pulled too hard when well beaten last time but had run two sound races ar Redcar prior to that (1m2f, good to firm); worth considering from his inside draw.

Form & Verdict
Dual 7.2f winner here who's found his level of late, having left Marco Botti and missed eight months; often blows the start, though, and is another hold-up performer in here who'll be reliant on getting the breaks.

Both wins came over C&D in 2023, but losing run now up to 17 despite a slipping mark; beaten only 3l into fifth of 13 at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) eight days ago and could play a part if building on that in the returning cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
Ran well on his 3yo comeback (here) and won first time out last spring, so has that in his favour, and is clearly well suited by easy left-handed courses; will likely be dropped in as usual from the outside stall and much will depend on how the race is run.

Came good for Jim Goldie at third attempt, in refitted cheekpieces at Hamilton last month, and bettered that form when close third in competitive race at York (also 1m1f, good) soon afterwards; not quite at same level over the extended 1m2f at York last time but still a major player here.

Four-time winner over 1m/1m2f here and just 1lb higher than when beating a dual subsequent winner at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) in January, but he has the outside stall and will require some luck given his come-from-behind style.

Form & Verdict
Useful in his younger days but hasn't won in well over two years and the losing run now stands at 24; is always reliant on luck given his run style, which he hasn't had lately, but he's undeniably well handicapped now having been dropped another 4lb.
