2:57 Pontefract Going Good / Distance - 0m 5f

Pool Value: £10.46

The pace often holds up around here and Ingleby Archie (second choice) and Hedge Fund will have their supporters from the inside two stalls. Throw in Fenlander and Night On Earth and there is the potential for this setting up for something racing a bit further back. Cloud King and Wen Moon would make plenty of appeal on good or slower but drying conditions are a niggle and perhaps REIGNING PROFIT can gain compensation for a series of good efforts in defeat.[Paul Smith]

No.	Selection	Form		Guide	ToteWin	TotePlace
1 (10)	Lethal Nymph P J McDonald / P T Midgley	6yrs / 9st 11lb 230-63 Spotlight	95	9/2	1.10
Lethal Nymph No win since 2022 but he's capable at this level and comes here on the back of a good front-running third of 13 at Newcastle three weeks ago (6f, AW); new cheekpieces may help but the widest draw won't.
2 (8)	Wen Moon A Mullen / B Haslam	5yrs / 9st 10lb 0933-8 Spotlight	95	6/1
Wen Moon Course winner (6f) who ended 2024 with a couple of good thirds on soft ground; not a lot went right for him over C&D on his return to action three weeks ago and that run can be safely ignored; capable of making an impact off this mark but others might prove better suited by the drying ground.
3 (4)	Cloud King Jason Hart / R M H Cowell	4yrs / 9st 9lb 1075-7 Spotlight	93	11/2
Cloud King Threatened to be a bit better than this level on occasions last season, looking good when winning at Haydock last July (5f, good); disappointing at Southwell on his return to action last month but the run may have been needed after six months off; the fitting of cheekpieces could sharpen him up too and he's high on the list.
4 (6)	Night On Earth D C Costello / Ian Williams	7yrs / 9st 9lb 74-639 Spotlight	98	14/1	8.40
Night On Earth Drawn wide when not at his best at Wolverhampton when last seen in February; 3lb lower than for his last win and his early pace should be advantageous around a track that lends itself to racing prominently; respected.
5 (2)	Hedge Fund Alistair Rawlinson / M Appleby	4yrs / 9st 9lb 67244- Spotlight	84	10/3	8.40	1.10
Hedge Fund Won two sprint nurseries as a 2yo; bright start to 2024 but he struggled in midsummer and wasn't able to exploit a reduced mark in the autumn; sold out of the Muir/Grassick stable for 48,000gns in October; well drawn to attack and he's a player on his stable debut.
6 (5)	Arecibo Zak Wheatley / D Carroll	10yrs / 9st 7lb 200-88 Spotlight	96	14/1
Arecibo Veteran who has bundles of ability but is without a win since May 2021; yet to find his best this year and others appeal more for win purposes.
7 (1)	Ingleby Archie Harrison Shaw / Adrian Nicholls	4yrs / 9st 3lb 1158-2 Spotlight	89	11/2	8.40
Ingleby Archie Front-runner who made all in 5f handicaps at Redcar (good to firm) and Thirsk (good to soft) last summer; shaped well on his return to action at Thirsk 18 days ago (6f, good); key player back at 5f and from stall 1.
8 (3)	Cash In D Allan / T D Easterby	4yrs / 9st 3lb 8851-6 Spotlight	88	22/1
Cash In He didn't have to improve on his turf form to make a winning AW debut at Newcastle in November (first run at 5f); unexposed at the trip but down the field on his return and he looks on a tough mark.
9 (9)	Reigning Profit J P Sullivan / Mrs R Carr	6yrs / 9st 2lb 0-5323 Spotlight	96	6/1
Reigning Profit On a competitive mark and he missed out narrowly over C&D 16 days ago, racing wide and just failing to claw back the winner; beaten favourite at Wolverhampton nine days ago but still ran creditably; 1lb higher today but holds each-way claims.
10 (7)	Fenlander Cam Hardie / Mrs P Sly	4yrs / 8st 12lb 3/69-5 Spotlight	81	12/1
Fenlander Lightly-raced maiden; raced only at 6f to date but he has plenty of speed and this drop in trip looks a good move; can build on his Catterick return earlier in the month and still open to a bit of improvement.
