Verdict

As with all races over 1m at Pontefract a wide draw can be difficult to overcome on lots of occasions and two of what should have been the leading players are parked out wide here. Little Ted has fared the worst in the draw lottery and looks to have a stiff task from stall 12 while the Doncaster eye-catcher Isola Bella May is another who isn’t well placed and that puts a dent in her chance. STRIDING EDGE failed to get to the front last time at Hamilton but still suggested there was another win in him if he can get a clear shot at proceedings. Back From Dubai has to be considered now he gets a chance in handicaps while C&D winner Frankelio looks the best of the older brigade.
  1. Striding Edge
  2. Isola Bella May
  3. Frankelio
