Highly Sprung³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J L Eyre| OR: 79| CD

5/2

6-time C&D winner, including this corresponding race in 2019. Is back down to a good mark and shaped as if as good as ever returning from 6 months off at Doncaster (6f) 31 days ago.

Form: 06807-7

Mr Orange^p²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: G Lee| T: P T Midgley| OR: 73| CD

11/1

6-time C&D winner who most likely needed the run after 6 months off at Catterick 3 weeks ago. Interesting now back at Pontefract.

Form: 17269-9

(6)

Magical Effect^p²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 8-10| J: Jamie Gormley| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 69| CD

13/2

Ended last season badly out of sorts, but fared better on his return at Catterick and is now 4 lb below his last winning mark.

Form: 66000-5

Round The Island⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 8-7| J: Phil Dennis| T: S Whitaker| OR: 66| CD

11/4

6-time C&D winner who again ran creditably when second of 8 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good) last week. Respected off 2 lb higher.

Form: 2316-32

Final Frontier¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 8-4| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 63| D

2/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2019. 25/1, respectable fifth of 13 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good) 19 days ago, but probably isn't that well treated.

Form: 252-545

Forecasts

Final Frontier (2/1), Highly Sprung (5/2), Round The Island (11/4), True Mason (7/2), Magical Effect (13/2), Triggered (7/1), Mr Orange (11/1)

TRUE MASON endured a tough 2020 but has dropped a long way in the weights as a result and looks ready to strike following an encouraging return at Newcastle. Highly Sprung and Mr Orange both boast an excellent course record and have a recent run under their belts, so command plenty of respect.
