4/1

Unable to land a blow when seventh of 11 in handicap at Goodwood (16f, heavy) 37 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time and this represents a drop in class.

Form: 193-087

3/1

C&D winner. Didn't need to improve to win 7-runner handicap at Catterick (15.9f, good, 5/1) 28 days ago, well positioned. Likely to give it another good go from just 1 lb higher.

Form: 73-3461

13/8

Better known as a fairly useful hurdler, career best when winning 9-runner handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (23.1f) 31 days ago. Flat winner over 21.6f here prior to that and he's clearly thriving.

Form: 64/369-1

11/4

Has just a Hamilton maiden win to his name so far. Sent off 5/4 but was disappointing when fourth of 8 in handicap at Carlisle (17.2f, good to soft) 10 days ago.

Forecasts

Giovanni Change (13/8), Yorkindness (11/4), Flint Hill (3/1), Easy Equation (10/3), Byron Hill (4/1)

GIOVANNI CHANGE is thriving in both codes, and with this revised mark more than fair, he can complete the hat-trick. Flint Hill has plenty of form at Pontefract and he's a big threat, with Easy Equation also feared back on turf.
