In depth

Verdict

Ponty Royale won at Carlisle last month and should go well again raised only 3lb. Its Only Mossy landed a double over 6f at Wolverhampton earlier but is now 9lb higher than his latest success while Pontefract maiden winner Wowcha has yet to threaten in handicaps. Stablemates Jordan James and Be Kool can be given a chance and Kirkham has scope for improvement but a speculative vote goes to James Tate’s AWESOME QUALITY on his handicap debut with a recent pipe-opener at Salisbury under his belt.
