        Verdict

        Mark Johnston has a great record with juveniles here at Pontefract and he can land this contest with Planetarium, Hada Men and House Of Tudor could be the main dangers. The selection makes aquick return to the racetrack having finished an excellent runner up last week at Bath. He made steady headway before eventually going down by just over a length to the more experienced Inventor. He will no doubt come on for the run and looks the one to be on. Hada Men has shown promise in two races to date and should appreciate the step up in trip. The same applies to the John Gosden trained House Of Tudor. Elk Trail and Elite The Boss have also shown enough to warrant respect here, but there was a lot to like about Planetariums first outing and he gets the verdict today.
