Pontefract Race 6 - Napoleons Casino Bradford Handicap
SHAMRAN (3) came good in a 1609m Salisbury novice on his fourth start. Form has been franked by those in behind. Appealing option provided he handles likely testing conditions. AUSTRIAN THEORY (2) is now 5.5kg below his most recent winning rating. Reasonable record on soft ground. Each-way contender. INAPPROPRIATE (7) bids for a hat-trick after wins at Beverley and Ayr. Up to a career-high rating and conditions unknown. Respect in current condition. SPIRIT OF ACKLAM (4) was a 3L winner of his novice on soft ground at Ripon. Back to form at Ayr in latest and might improve again after just five starts.
