Pontefract Race 6

Chadwick Lawrence Supports National Horseracing College Handicap

Prize Money: $14,760

BEARWITH (1) is starting to find some form with one win and two placed efforts past five starts including finishing runner-up in a Nottingham handicap last time out. Can go one better. LIGHTENING COMPANY (2) left behind three disappointing efforts gaining a 0.5L success over course and distance on most recent appearance. Claiming jockey negates a weight rise. May gain a double. HEARTENED (6) makes some attraction from bottom of the weights. Could improve from finishing sixth in a Southwell AW handicap. FINLAGGAN (3) failed to place in three career attempts. Makes handicap debut which might bring out more.

Resumes after a break of six-and-a-half months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last campaign sixth of 11 at Wolverhampton October 6 over 3320m, 7 len behind Lillistar with 62.5kg at $15. Previously first up; ran last of 9 at Ripon May 9 over 2000m, 15 len behind Mariner with 59kg at $4.50. Certainly one to consider.
