6:50 Pontefract Going Good / Distance - 2m 1f

Pool Value: £672.35

Forglen (second choice), Captain Potter and Quercus Robur should all run well but QUEEN OF STEEL has the wind in her sails after following two wins over hurdles with a facile success at Nottingham. She might still be well in despite the 11lb hike.[Alistair Jones]

No.	Selection	Form		Guide	ToteWin	TotePlace
1 (8)	Bodygroove Aiden Brookes / Micky Hammond	5yrs / 9st 9lb 65/7-7 Spotlight	66	14/1	19.70	4.20
Bodygroove AW winner in 2023 and a handicap hurdle in March; made no impression back on the Flat at Carlisle three weeks ago (1m6f).
2 (3)	Captain Potter Ben Robinson / B Ellison	5yrs / 9st 8lb 14-424 Spotlight	69	11/2	6.50	1.70
Captain Potter Won over 2m on soft ground in October and back in good form when a head second at Newcastle and close fourth back at Catterick (good); likely contender once more.
3 (2)	Different Drum Joanna Mason / L Allan	4yrs / 9st 7lb 3123-5 Spotlight	68	18/1	18.00	2.40
Different Drum Last year's best form in staying handicaps gives him every chance but was entitled to run a lot better than he did on the AW only nine days ago; that was after a break but hard to trust so soon on the back of it.
4 (5)	Queen Of Steel Gina Mangan / F O'Brien	5yrs / 9st 5lb 4294-1 Spotlight	70	4/6	1.50	1.10
Queen Of Steel Tailed off in her first handicap hurdle for this yard but won her next two and went in again back on the Flat at Nottingham (2m, good), doing that comfortably by nearly 10l; up 11lb but she's on a roll.
5 (10)	Fabuleux Du Clos Rhys Elliott / S G West	10yrs / 9st 5lb 690 Spotlight		40/1	0.00	0.00
Fabuleux Du Clos Won twice over hurdles in 2023 but has regressed since returning from an absence and he's a 10yo now; makes no appeal, for all that this is his handicap debut on the Flat.
6 (7)	Destination Unkown Harrison Shaw / Grant Tuer	4yrs / 9st 5lb 590 Spotlight	39	22/1	28.30	5.70
Destination Unkown Mild promise when fifth of seven on AW debut (1m4f) but tailed off since then in two further novices; may have improvement lurking over this far on handicap debut but that could be wishful thinking.
7 (11)	Quercus Robur Cam Hardie / A Nicol	6yrs / 9st 3lb 763515 Spotlight	68	12/1	15.10	3.10
Quercus Robur Beat four rivals over the 2m5f here in April (good) but surprisingly weakened out of it late on over 2m at Catterick when just behind Captain Potter; still commands a second look back here.
8 (1)	Team Endeavour C Lee / F P Murtagh	6yrs / 8st 11lb 3422/8 Spotlight		66/1	65.70	11.60
Team Endeavour Two years since sole success in a staying handicap; showed no form over hurdles before finishing tailed off back on the Flat at Carlisle (80-1).
9 (4)	Triple Nickle Aidan Keeley / B J Llewellyn	9yrs / 8st 11lb 1336-4 Spotlight	71	10/1	11.30	2.60
Triple Nickle Appreciated returning to the Flat when running quite well for a 50-1 chance at Wolverhampton; still has ground to make up on Forglen.
10 (9)	Forglen K T O'Neill / W Stone	4yrs / 8st 10lb -44342 Spotlight	67	11/1	12.50	2.90
Forglen Has done quite well in handicaps since undergoing wind surgery and saw out the 2m well when runner-up at Wolverhampton 21 days ago; looks on the right sort of mark but has each-way claims.
11 (6)	Yakhabar C Horgan / L Bailey	6yrs / 8st 9lb 432437 Spotlight	79	22/1	18.70	3.80
Yakhabar Only 2-31; wasn't running too badly in staying handicaps before a rather laboured effort here 17 days ago when the 1m4f was no excuse; others preferred for win purposes.
