16/1
Back to winning ways in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 4 days ago, well on top finish. Carries penalty. Raced almost exclusively on AW in his 51-race career and needs to prove he's as effective on turf.

Latest win at Southwell in December. Creditable second of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7f) 24 days ago, just failing. Won on turf last year. One to consider.

Unreliable sort. Performed with credit when third of 10 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, soft) on reappearance 29 days ago but he did carry his head awkwardly under pressure.

Second on 8.5f Beverley reappearance last month and not seen to best effect when sixth of 11 back there last week, left with a lot to do. Likely still in form.

Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 10/1, fourth of 15 in C&D handicap on reappearance 22 days ago, nearest finish. Capable of going close from his current mark.

Modest form in Ireland for Kieran Cotter but it would be no surprise to see him make more of an imapct for new trainer Rebecca Menzies. Cheekpieces on first time. One to note in the betting.

Sole British win came over C&D but it was back in 2020. Bit better than his tenth of 15 might suggest on C&D reappearance 22 days ago, weakening only in final 1f. Might strip fitter now.

Visored first time, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 3/1) 35 days ago, running on. Blinkers back on now. Considered.

Poor form in bumpers and Flat novices. More chance now handicapping from a basement mark but still tough to make a case for.

17:10 Pontefract - 3 May 2023 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

A chance is taken on FRANKELIO who was bang there for a long way on his C&D reappearance 3 weeks ago and has dropped to a career-low mark. Shabs, Mr Strutter and Back From Dubai are others likely to be in the shake-up.
