J: Luke Morris

T: Sir Mark Prescott Bt

Four wins last year from his six 3yo starts and he continued the good work when comfortably making all in a three-runner handicap at Nottingham (2m) on last month's reappearance; unproven on AW and this is a much tougher test of his credentials but he could have lots more left in the tank.

Looked a classic Prescott improver last term and justified favouritism in three-runner race at Pontefract (2m1f) final start, taking handicap record to 4-6; respected on reappearance, assuming the progress continues.

J: Robert Dunne

T: Ian Williams

Won over 2m (good) here in June and the saddle slipped on his return visit the following month; can probably forgive him his Ascot run as well as that was a Class 3; could find this trip on the tight side, though.

J: William Buick

T: Ian Williams

Had an excuse (saddle slipped, eased) last time when bidding for a Chester double; well suited by 2m but remains on career-high mark and this is a better grade than he usually runs in; difficult task.

J: Ryan Kavanagh

T: Ian Williams

Bang-in-form 5yo who posted a career-best performance when scoring here (2m, good) a fortnight ago; today's drop back in trip won't be a problem; likely contender again.

Form & Verdict
Five wins last season, three of them over C&D on good/good to firm; hasn't been in quite such good form this year, but is 4lb below her last winning mark; return to faster ground a positive.

Won a soft-ground maiden but best efforts when it's not so deep; 0-10 this season, nearly winning at Musselburgh in August but beaten over 20l on last two outings; down the weights but it's hard to have confidence in her.

Has won on soft, best form on faster ground; 0-9 this season but nearly won at Musselburgh in August; stiff task last time; three-time Pontefract scorer and looks interesting off a workable mark back here.
