Pontefract Race 3 - British Stallion Studs Ebf Silver Tankard Stakes (Listed)
CALLA LAGOON (2) built on a promising debut scoring narrowly over 1408m at Ascot (soft ground). Several of those in behind have won since boosting form. Strong claims. CASTLE STUART (3) confirmed his liking for soft ground when a 6L winner at Hamilton last start. Further improvement required to win. This might be forthcoming. LOVE TALK (5) holds the highest official rating and conditions are unlikely to inconvenience her. Won a valuable Goodwood heat last start. Rates a player if staying the journey. TUSCAN HILLS (4) won smartly debuting at Thirsk (1609m) and is another to warrant thought.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, 5th of 11 at Deauville on August 15 over 1400m, 8 len behind Maranoa Charlie with 58kg at $7.20. Second-up favourite; won by 3.5 len at Newcastle All Weather September 12 over 1600m defeating Bentbasa carrying 59kg at $2.10. Hard to fault form and can measure up again.

Raced two times to date. At debut, 5th of 13 at Kempton Park All Weather on August 7 over 1400m, 2.75 len behind Yaroogh carrying 59kg at $11. Second-up won by a neck at Ascot September 6 over 1400m on a soft track defeating Seaplane with 60.5kg at $5.50. Terrific chance to continue the strong form.

Third-up today. Not raced for 59 days. Resuming second last in a small field at Haydock Park on August 9 over 1600m, 2.75 len behind Hawksbill carrying 60.5kg at $9. Second run from a spell favourite; won by 6 len at Hamilton Park August 23 over 1700m on a rain affected track defeating Boston Run carrying 60.5kg at $2.20. Solid credentials and cannot be dismissed lightly.

Going well. Last start won by 1.75 len at Goodwood September 25 over 1400m in heavy going defeating Miss Nightfall carrying 56.5kg at $5.50. The race before that 4th of 7 at Deauville in the G2 Prix Du Calvados on August 17 over 1400m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Simmering with 56kg at $14. Hard to fault and can go on with it.
