Pontefract Race 1 - Pontefract Races Chairman's Challenge Apprentice Handicap
COPPER KNIGHT (2) is the most experienced in the field and a course and distance winner. Last seen securing a short-head second at Ayr. Can go one better and provide sixteenth career win. ANCIENT TIMES (3) is racing consistently this season winning twice and placing once including a neck victory at Catterick last time. May double up. HOVER ON THE WIND (1) produced a good 0.75L success at Beverley before finishing second tackling track and trip. Thereabouts. PROTEST RALLY (4) could battle it out for the minors.

Racing well. Last start 2nd in a small field at Ayr on May 21 over 1000m, nose behind Le Beau Garcon with 61kg at $3.30. The race before that 4th of 12 at Chester on May 8 over 1000m, 1.75 len behind Roman Dragon with 51.5kg at $10. Working up to a win. Not far off a win and is a definite winning hope.
