Pontefract - Stavne kvote

Ailsa Craig hasn't won since 2011 but has dropped in the weights accordingly and looks ready to score soon judged on her reappearance at Beverley. Isdaal won over this trip on soft ground last summer but hasn't been seen since June while Kathlatino looks a bit high in the weights after her success at Redcar a year ago. Mad Jazz crowned a fine first campaign with a victory over a mile here and will have needed her comeback run at Leicester while Nullarbor Sky, a half-sister to nine winners, did well enough over trips too short in her juvenile season to suggest she can do better. MAGIKA scored over 1m1f at Wolverhampton in December and looked in need of a stiffer test on her return at Kempton so gets the vote in a tricky race.

DUKE COSIMO will start a short-priced favourite here and there will be some very long faces if he's beaten. A son of Pivotal out of the high-class Nannina, he started favourite on his debut at Nottingham but looked in need of the experience and will have come on a bundle. Another Claret has shown glimmers of ability but may have to wait for a handicap so Timeless Appeal may be the one to chase the selection home as Peter Chapple-Hyam's speedily-bred filly showed promise on her debut at Lingfield in November. Secret Empress was beaten a long way at Southwell but still looks best of the remainder.
