Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, soft, 3/1) 45 days ago, finishing with running left. On that evidence, this trip will suit.

Forecasts

Smart Connection (5/4), Distinction (5/2), Rum Runner (6/1), Little Ted (11/1), Seven For A Pound (14/1), El Jad (16/1), Markazi (20/1), Afkaar (40/1)

Verdict

Having enjoyed a productive time of it on the AW, SMART CONNECTION continued the good work on turf when runner-up at Ayr last week and from the same mark he looks the one to beat. Distinction is well worth a go at this trip and is second choice, with Rum Runner also of interest.

  1. Smart Connection5/4
  2. Distinction5/2
  3. Rum Runner6/1
