Plenty of Pontefract specialists line up for a competitive sprint handicap on a typically trappy Friday Night fixture. The handicapper probably has Oriental Relation in his pocket, and Grandad's World needs to find more on his return to a track on which he's unbeaten. Black Grass should go close for Harrison Shaw with the visor added seeking to squeeze out that extra few pounds of improvement which will help defy a 3lb rise for his Ripon 'success'. 2016 winner Stanghow returns, whilst B Fifty Two is slipping in the weights, but the horse with the strongest claims is the Mark Johnston trained HIGHLY SPRUNG. He'd have went close with better breaks in a good race at Chelmsford recently and whilst most effective over 6F, he's likely to be rattling home up a hill he knows very well (a previous 6F winner here).
