Pacngo's win in a 'hands and heels' race at Thirsk 12 days ago is hard to evaluate but she's only 2lb higher and has an apprentice on board again. Pickle Lilly Pearl was racing from out of the handicap when third at Catterick last time while Captain Future is back on a decent mark. But Yorkshire has a lengthy absence to overcome and it's hard to make a case for Zebelini or Joey Black at present. POPPY IN THE WIND is hard to catch right and remains winless but her latest fourth at Nottingham was one of her better efforts and she could be the value in this if headgear has the desired effect.
