Pontefract

Today, June 22, 2025FlatClass 36fGood

A tight-knit handicap in which marginal preference is for course winner PARTISAN HERO who rates just the pick of the weights and can bag a fourth victory of 2025. Northern Spirit heads the list of dangers on the back of a solid ninth in a big-field York handicap last time ahead of Native Instinct and Havana Blue.

    Course winner. 3 wins from 7 runs this year. 7/2, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Epsom (7f, good to soft) 16 days ago, just holding on. Has to be taken seriously despite a 3 lb weights rise.

    Fair 6f juvenile winner. Not disgraced after over 7 months off when seventh of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 16 days ago. May still do better with that run under his belt.
