Fantastic servant who has added another three C&D wins to her haul this year; unplaced here on her last three starts but drops back into a Class 6 today and a 13th course success isn't out of the question.

Course specialist having won over this C&D 12 times, most recently last month off a 1lb lower mark than today's; below her best when dropped back to 5f here ten days ago but she's the type to bounce back on her return to this trip.

Form & Verdict
Two 6f wins on good ground last year; slow start to this campaign but he's tumbling down the weights and his latest third of eight at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) was better; runner-up in two of his three runs at Hamilton; each-way contender.

A touch below par at York (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago but third of 19 there (6f, good to firm) two starts ago and he has an eyecatching record at Pontefract, having made the frame on each of his last five visits; firmly in calculations.

Form & Verdict
A win, on debut, and two seconds from his first three starts but things have been more challenging since handicapping; that said, his reappearance over 5f at Catterick 12 days ago was promising with a view to returning to this trip; dropped 2lb too; yard in form; big player.

Only fourth off this mark at Southwell last week but this track seems to suit him ideally and he is 3-4 over C&D; not sure he is fully exposed at 7f just yet and he looks a major player.

Yet to find his best form for current stable but he's dropped to a tempting mark and he had an excuse at Catterick last time (wide trip); his last win came over C&D on good so conditions won't be an excuse; considered.

First three wins were on turf but last three have come on Tapeta; only 1lb higher than for his Wolverhampton win in January but that was a Class 5 and he finished out the back in his final run during the winter; now goes back up in grade and he has work to do after 189 days off.

Form & Verdict

He's fully 14lb lower than when winning at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) last June but hasn't been shaping of late as though he's about to capitalise on his reduced mark; soundly beaten fourth here (6f, good) last time.

Now 13lb lower than for his Hamilton win (6f, good to firm) last June but he's been well held in all four runs this season; won't mind if the forecast rain arrives but losing run is up to 12 and this looks a tough task against Novamay; cheekpieces removed.

Form & Verdict
He had slipped down the weights prior to his good second at Ayr (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago, keeping on well behind one that was way ahead of her mark; he was strong in the market that day too which was encouraging; up 3lb but still has plenty of handicapping scope; probably wouldn't want it slower than good.
