Forecasts

Strong Warrior (8/13), U Sure Do (10/3), Veblen Good (4/1), Call Me Betty (16/1), Ey Up He's A Star (33/1), Big Apple Jack (40/1), Canaria Sun (40/1), Passchendaele (50/1), William Marshal (150/1)

14:02 Pontefract - 8 April 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

The form of U SURE DO's 2 placed efforts in the summer has worked out well and the 7 lb he receives from penalised winners Strong Warrior and Veblen Good may prove decisive.
