J: David Allan

T: Tim Easterby

Comes alive at Pontefract and was gaining his fifth course win from seven goes when gamely scoring over 1m4f in June; not disgraced at Haydock last time; stays 2m and will probably see out this slightly longer distance; seems equally effective on good to firm and good to soft; solid contender.

Took Pontefract record to 5-7 (4-6 over 1m4f) ten days ago, as with the other wins gained on quicker ground than awaits here; penalty which obliges him to race off his highest ever mark is more of a concern.

Form & Verdict
Sole win came on only start at this venue (1m2f) and running consistently well on AW when last seen; worth another try over 1m4f and market should be a good guide as to what is expected on reappearance.

J: Lewis Chalkley

Boasts a good record at Pontefract, where he should have notched a fourth win early last month, and today's similarly stiff 1m2f should suit; not as consistent now, unsurprisingly given his age, but is still more than capable at this level.

9yo who has an excellent record at Pontefract, most recently taking advantage of a reduced mark in a 1m2f amateurs' event in June under Serena Brotherton; back up 4lb and well beaten at Haydock latest but has to be of interest back here unless the ground is softer than good.

Showed little in three outings as a 2yo (once on Polytrack) but made an immediate impact once returning in handicaps in the summer, including wins on good ground at Pontefract (1m4f) and Newbury (1m5f); the race wasn't run to suit (pulled hard in rear) when failing in his hat-trick bid back at Newbury in August, since when he has been gelded; could go well if this pans out more favourably for him.

Competitive in all three runs this season and he's better off at the weights with Taritino than when beaten 2.5l by that rival at Chepstow in the first of them (1m4f); then went close here over 2m before getting outpaced back at 1m4f; returning to further can help.

Three wins on turf in 2021 at up to 1m2f; made a good start to last season and although that form was not repeated, a fall in the weights meant she was not far away on two of last three starts; good record first time out heightens interest in her.
