100/1

Backed at long odds for Pontefract (1m) debut last week, but as is often the case with 2-y-os from this yard, looked in need of the experience. Could improve.

Forecasts

Moojdee (7/5), Reel Rosie (15/8), Spirit Catcher (11/4), Simply Gorgeous (10/1), At The Double (14/1), Captain Howse (16/1), Red Astaire (22/1), A Better World (66/1), Lituus (100/1), Cotai Creek (100/1), Purple Ice (150/1), Copper Mountain (200/1)

REEL ROSIE overcame inexperience to make a winning debut here 5 weeks ago and there are plenty of reasons to think she can improve. She's taken to follow up at the main expense of a couple of interesting newcomers in Moojdee and Spirit Catcher.
