Pontefract And District Golf Club Ltd Handicap

Ungenuine type who has drawn a blank since winning this race in 2022. Good second of 20 on his York reappearance in May but no big shock when he wasn't in the same form back there since.

Resurgent when completing a hat-trick in May/June. Shaped as if still in good form when third of 8 over C&D 27 days ago, doing too much too soon.

Four-time C&D winner. Runner-up at Carlisle last month and ran quite well when fifth at Ayr last time considering he made a hash of the start. Hasn't been this low in the handicap for a long time and can make a bold bid to win this race for a second time.

Made it 2 wins in his last 3 starts when getting on top towards the finish in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap 27 days ago. Able to race of 1 lb lower back on turf. Bold show likely.

Runner-up at Beverley in April but has found it harder since. First-time blinkers worn last time are discarded and replaced by a first-time cheekpieces and tongue tie combination.
