In depth
Verdict
Pomfret Lad, Howard¿s Princess and Limonia are the three to consider here, and Pomfret Lad can take this contest.Pomfret Lad hails from the bang in form John Quinn yard, and with the stable¿s sprinters in such good heart, he merits serious consideration. He scored at Ripon before running well for a long way at Haydock, only back pedaling in the closing stages. He has won twice this season and this could be his third success. Howard¿s Princess last won over this course and distance in September and has run well here recently, finishing second on her last visit to the track two outings ago. She has run disappointingly since but is back at the track for which she reserves her best performances and can go well. Limonia won here earlier this month but is now four pounds worse off for a neck win over Howard¿s Princess, and given her inconsistency, Limonia can be taken on. Pomfret Lad appears to hold the most solid claims and he can lead them home.
