9st 2lb

J: Finlay Bassett

T: John Mackie

Kept to a track that suits as his form at Pontefract features wins in 2024/2025 and a resurgent effort (close third) in latest start; faces some unexposed types among his younger rivals but holds a solid chance.

Conditions no problem and he has slipped back down the weights but this year's efforts leave him with a point to prove.

Won from higher marks at Beverley (1m2f, soft) and Kempton (1m3f) last summer; took a step back in the right direction at Pontefract (fifth) a fortnight ago, and this looks a suitable next objective from 2lb lower; P J McDonald is back aboard.

Successful the last two times he raced at Pontefract (1m, soft; 1m2f, good) and could go well off a workable mark back here with Doncaster reappearance under his belt.
