DREAM ALLY never figured over 5f in a higher grade at Pontefract last time. But he was placed on a couple of occasions over track and trip before that and it could be his turn today racing off the same mark. Indian Affair's victory over 7f here in March was his first since 2013 and he is 5lb higher today while Silvala Dance has failed to figure since winning her maiden at Yarmouth in August. Bold Max won over track and trip in April and can make the frame.
