28/1
Seventh of 9 in handicap at Chester (15.9f, soft, 18/1) 24 days ago. Back down in trip and he would certainly have a chance if bouncing back to something like his best.

5/1
Good second of 9 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, good to firm, 9/2) 28 days ago. Shade more will be needed if he's to go one better here, but couldn't rule out all the same.

5/2
Thrice-raced maiden. 14/1, second of 4 in maiden at Doncaster (11.9f, firm) 11 days ago. Likely to do better now handicapping off what looks like a fair opening mark.

10/3
Career best when winning 4-runner handicap at Hamilton (11.1f, good to firm, 17/2) 12 days ago. 3 lb rise fair and she's unlikely to go down without a fight.

1 win from 3 runs this year. Winner at Beverley in May. Good second of 7 in handicap (11/4) at Doncaster (11.9f, good to firm) 32 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Solid claims.

16:10 Pontefract - 8 July 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

The one who appeals most is the well-bred CLOAKS OF GOLD, who can be expected to step up on what she showed in three qualifying runs now venturing along the handicap route. There's a chance that the first-time blinkers will help eke out a bit more from Analogical and, if that proves to be the case, he will be a big threat. Neoma recently landed a small-field event at Hamilton and another bold show could be on the way, while Ribble River also needs a second look.
