Pontefract Race 1 - Gieves And Hawkes Supports The YCC Maiden Stakes (GBB/GBBPlus Race)
ALMA LATINA (3) found the frame both career outings to date with Hector Crouch aboard. Well-fancied when a keeping on second of eleven as favourite tackling the trip at Salisbury last month. With further progress expected she can open her account providing another bold bid. ACCORDING TO MARK (1) just missed on his return to action under Callum Rodriguez at Redcar. Improvement anticipated second-up. Main danger. FOZZIE (2) arrives off the back of consecutive second place finishes at Thirsk and Redcar. Steps up in distance. Feared. MAID ON THE SHELF (4) was seventh of ten making Wolverhampton debut. Best watched.
