3:05 Pontefract Tips

This horse looks to be very progressive and has earned her place in this line-up. The horse she defeated, Lady Time Out, is decent, and she can continue William Haggas' fine stable form.

The 4-year-old filly was a very close runner-up on her return four weeks ago in a similar Listed contest on slow ground. She has the second-highest rating in this race and a good jockey booking. The benefit of that return run and a return to quicker ground are both positives for the selection.

This might not be the strongest Listed race ever run, and could provide the improving Ghaiyya with the chance of gaining black type. She has run well in good handicaps at Hamilton and Carlisle this season, finishing behind a couple of very smart winners on each occasion. This stiff track should be ideal, and she will be staying on better than most up the final hill.
