DISTINCTION - 16:48 Pontefract (NAP)
DISTINCTION holds very few secrets these days but he's a bit of a course specialist when it comes to Pontefract and bounced back to a bit of form when third - beaten just a quarter of a length - over a mile here last month. He runs off just a 1lb higher mark now, still 5lb lower than his most recent successful perch, and is going to enjoy stepping back up to his favoured trip. The forecast rain overnight is another welcome bit of news, on top of stall two which is just about ideal as well around here.
JAFIMGOSO - 16:30 Southwell
JAFIMGOSO has been bumped up 6lb in the handicap and now tops the weights but this isn't a much stronger race than the one he won with a little bit to spare at Ludlow last month. The 2m5f trip seemed to play to his strengths that day and this evening longer distance should be well within range for the son of Jack Hobbs (out of a Presenting mare). The Skelton team are rattling along at a 48% strike-rate for the past fortnight and are backed to notch another on the tally.
ZOULETTE - 20:00 Wolverhampton
ZOULETTE is the bet of the night at Wolverhampton. She came in for support back up to this seven-furlong trip on her second outing in a handicap at Leicester last week, Billy Loughnane bouncing her out and attempting to make all. In the end she was picked off by an even better-treated handicap newcomer from the Owen Burrows yard (Escape Magic) but it was definitely an improved effort from the daughter of Zoustar and she'll be hard to peg back from stall four around here having been dropped a pound to a mark of 53.
NED BROY - 18:45 Newcastle
NED BROY bumped into subsequent scorer Alpine Sierra when second at Hamilton last month, a pretty encouraging return to Flat action on the face of it, and the handicapper has left him alone on a mark of 60. His stamina for this slightly longer trip has to be taken on trust but he was hurdling earlier in the spring (without success admittedly) and the way he stayed on late last time suggests it won't be a problem. Cheekpieces go on for the first time and a race of this nature looks his for the taking before long.
