Forecasts

Round The Island (5/1), Mr Orange (11/2), French (11/2), Siege Of Boston (7/1), Compton Park (8/1), Castlerea Tess (12/1), Avenue Of Stars (12/1), Fleckerl (14/1), Cliff (14/1), Be Bold (16/1), Racquet (16/1), Meandmyshadow (20/1), Niqnaaqpaadiwaaq (20/1), Le Laitier (25/1), Total Power (25/1), Ticks The Boxes (40/1)

Verdict

The first of two very complicated sprints that close the card and as with the finale the draw may well play a part here as it often does in Pontefract sprints although there isn’t much pace drawn very low here. Siege Of Boston is well berthed but the 6f trip is a slight unknown although the market may well tell a story with this one. Compton Park must be given a chance with the return to 6f a positive and French also enters the equation given her good form last time and reasonable draw. Round The Island may find his chance compromised by the draw and Cliff isn’t one that you could totally trust so it might pay to take a chance with MR ORANGE here. He’s a consistent sort who runs well here and looks to be coming to the boil now from a yard that is in good heart with their sprinters. It may also pay to keep a market watch on Racquet who looks just the type to pop up at a big price in the coming weeks.
  1. Mr Orange
  2. French
  3. Racquet
