Wasntexpectingthat ran a cracker when third in the Brocklesby but was then beaten seven lengths into second at Thirsk when odds-on. The winner is trained by Tim Easterby who has BIG ACE entered here. He didn't get the run of the race at Pontefract but stayed on nicely behind Carey Street, who goes in the first division, and can make enough progress to take this. With her stable still firing the winners in, Knockabout Queen can show some improvement on this stiff track while Five Helmets, a half-brother to five winners, also hails from a yard going well.
