Pontefract Race 2

Sir Peter O'Sullevan Charitable Trust Supports NHC EBF Novice Stakes (GBB/GBBPlus Race)

Prize Money: $22,140

INFRAAD (3) represents notable connections. Yet to score in two career starts however has placed twice in succession including a second on debut at Doncaster before a third at Nottingham. Expected to challenge. NIGHT WOLF (5) improved after finishing fifth in the Convivial Maiden Stakes at the York Ebor Festival when third attempting a Redcar novice race during October. Interesting following a break. ASIA FORCE (2) bids to turn a pair of runner-up finishes into a win after placing second at Newcastle AW and then again at Southwell AW. Might go one better. SEA LANTERN (1) cannot be discounted representing a new trainer on the back of a maiden triumph at Roscommon.

Second-up. Promising on debut 2nd in a small field at Doncaster on October 24 over 1600m, on a slow track; 1.3 len behind Golden Story carrying 60.5kg at $4.30. Returned from break 3rd of 9 at Nottingham on April 8 over 2000m, 3.5 len behind Bay Royale with 56kg at $2.10. Fitter for that run and will be tough to beat.
