Not that competitive in his qualifying runs at 5f but he's in top hands and returns from a break for his handicap debut; no surprise to see an improved effort, especially if at all strong in the betting.

Hard to fault her consistency in turf handicaps this summer, most recently finishing a close third at Carlisle two weeks ago (7f, good); needs to pull out extra to break her duck but the combination of a switch to AW and new blinkers might help.

Acts on good to firm and good to soft; record of 0-10 but she's been placed in her last four runs including when runner-up behind an improver here (7f) last week; should get a decent pace on this drop back in trip and she's a big player in this ordinary race.

Verdict

There are nursery newcomers who could be open to improvement but the safest policy is to trust the form of the Pontefract handicap in which Griselda (second choice) prevailed from Bank On Kent and TOOTA in a tight finish. The selection might not have been helped by being isolated towards the stands’ rail.[Alistair Jones]
