Pontefract Race 1 - Happy 80th Birthday William 'Bill' Carr Mdn Stakes (Gbb Race)
GREEN STAR (1) indicated ability across both starts at 1400m. Beaten 5L fourth at Redcar latest sixteen days ago. Drop back to a stiff 1200m should be in favour. Leading fancy. Stablemate HIGH TOWER (2) gives trainer George Boughey a strong-looking hand. Raced greenly when 5.5L third in a 1200m Salisbury novice during July. That race has worked out nicely and gelded in the interim may step forward significantly. WAR GAMING (5) finished thereabouts on four attempts without success. Beaten only 0.5L at Ffos Las (1200m) last time. Should contend. LONGSHANKS LUKE (3) produced his peak effort at this venue in August. Not ruled out.

Raced two times to date. At debut, held ground to the line 2nd of 8 at Chester on September 12 over 1400m, slow going 2.5 len behind Regency Royal carrying 60.5kg at $12. Second-up 4th of 7 at Redcar on October 3 over 1400m, 5 len behind Charted Course carrying 60.5kg at $3. Has improvement to come and is likely to run well again.
