Run This Way returned an easy winner at Pontefract when starting at 40/1 and is 7lb higher. Blackheath has slid down the weights and placed here last time but NEXT VICTORY is the least exposed. The Godolphin filly is fitted with headgear for her handicap debut having produced a better effort at Lingfield recently and she gets the vote. Another Dawn, Spartan Fighter, East Street Revue and Stalingrad have all been thereabouts recently.
