Verdict
Broken Spear wasn’t beaten far when third in this last year and is only a pound higher but no better off with winner DEPUTY (NAP), who is becoming something of a course specialist and can stage an encore. Recent Pontefract winner Beauty Choice has placed over track and trip on heavy going and looks a danger but Red Maids has disappointed since completing a double at Haydock last month. Look Back Smiling will enjoy conditions, however, and a case can also be made for another recent Pontefract winner, Sir Maxi, back over 7f. Mister Sox and Astral Spirit are others who warrant a mention.
