The draw often plays a part at Pontefract and a wide draw can make life difficult over 1m2f and with Naked Lass who sets the form standard drawn 12 of 12 it could make life difficult for her although this course should suit her better than Windsor last time. MONASH is therefore given the vote having shaped nicely at Windsor on debut having the look of one who had more to offer. Another fancied runner Gordana is also posted wide although she already looks to need further. Dragon Glass ran a very eye-catching race here last time when not getting the clearest of passages she has the look of one who could make a major step forward. The newcomer Opera Gift also enters the discussion.
