Alnajeeb was well beaten once again over today’s trip at Pontefract and makes his handicap debut. Wildcitydiva never figured over 1m6f last time and the rest step up in distance including recent course winner CAN CAN GIRL. David Brown’s filly won over 1m2f last week and may well defy a penalty if as effective on this softer ground. Red Glory is another with a chance is lasting home and Louis The Warrior makes his handicap debut.
