      Verdict

      Buniann is 0-19 on the Turf though the six-year-old has hit the frame off significantly higher marks in the past. Mutanaaseq has similarly dropped down the weights and is off a winnable mark but MR ORANGE has been a real old favourite at Pontefract over the years and his most recent effort suggested he can notch-up an eighth victory at the track. Dandy Spirit is a relatively recent recruit to Roger Fell’s team and he had made the running when racing for previous connections in Ireland.
