5:30 Pontefract Tips

Trilby is the one they all have to beat here on form alone, The Good Biscuit has the best of the draw and has won here from stall one in the past, five of Trilby's six wins have been on courses with no bends, that is not the case here, Trilby is best on form but there are other factors at play here.

Iris Dancer looks a very solid contender and is hard to ignore for me. She's at her favourite trip, has a strong record over 6f, and she's in the sort of form where she keeps turning up and running her race extremely well. Her last two Hamilton runs are especially encouraging, with a win there latest and another close run at the track before that. She's proven on a range of surfaces, the blinkers have worked for her before, and although she's up in grade, she's still trending the right way to me.
