Pontefract Race 1 - Family Day Sunday 27Th July Ebf Restricted Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
JACK RABBIT SLIMS (9) improved from a seventh on debut at Thirsk to place second at Carlisle last month. Can go one better and make it third time lucky. DAYDREAMA (2) placed third debuting at Carlisle during May. Could offer progress following short break. CLOUDBUSTER (10) finished fourth on latest outing at Wolverhampton. Might make the placings. TWILIGHT SERENADE (6) is the pick of the debutants. Bred by Twilight Son out Inpromptu. Worth considering.

Was well-supported at debut, 8th of 13 at Carlisle on May 29 over 1180m, 6 len behind Mister Moet carrying 60.5kg at $3.30. Rates well in this company and don't discount lightly.

By Invincible Army out of Virtually on debut. Purchased for EUR € 6,000 (Goffs - IRE 2024 Orby Book 2). Prefer to let go without a strong market move.

Raced two times to date. At debut, second last of 8 at Thirsk on May 3 over 1000m, 7 len behind Under The Radar with 59.5kg at $7. Second-up held ground to the line 2nd of 11 at Carlisle on June 16 over 1180m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Dapper Charm with 60.5kg at $5. Progressing well and is expected to measure up.

Raced twice to date. At debut, second last of 11 at Kempton Park All Weather on May 21 over 1200m, 13 len behind Sayidah Hard Spun with 57kg at $12. Last start 4th of 9 at Wolverhampton on June 30 over 1020m, 4 len behind Little Jaybee with 58kg at $6. Tackling a deeper field this time but she looks an improver who can measure up.

Most recently 3rd in a small field at Leicester on July 5 over 1200m, 8 len behind Davvy with 56.5kg at $12. Before that 10th of 13 at Chester on June 13 over 1400m, 9 len behind Strength Of Spirit carrying 56.5kg at $101. This looks a difficult task.
