Pontefract - 16:15: Back Late Arrival
A nice stiff 6f should play to the strengths of Late Arrival, and this looks a good opening today in the 16:15 at Pontefract for Mick Easterby's sprinter to get off the mark for the season.
The 7yo runs on his 47th career start this afternoon from top weight and the fact he's operating around a mark in the 60s proves that he is still rated to win - as he was off much higher in the past. Admittedly a long time ago.
He ran over C&D at the track in the spring - his first run of the season, and while he finished last, he wasn't beaten a long way in a much stronger race (0-85).
It was more like it last time at Thirsk behind an in-form Lord Abama, finishing off well from the pace on quick ground.
Jo Mason on is a massive plus, and she's 5-50 at Pontefract and a mere 1lb rise shouldn't hinder his chances.

Windsor - 17:45: Back Make It Easy
The opening 17:45 at Windsor is more akin to a greyhound betting market, and nothing can be ruled out, nor much ruled in amongst the six in the field.
Make It Easy at 4s however is one I'd give a little chance to as she's been in a some slightly stronger races this year.
Her handicap debut in a 0-85 at Newcastle in the spring was a fair effort, although not quite up to the level of the winner, but she ran well in second ahead of a filly now rated in the high 80s. Indeed, three of the field in that are now rated 80+.
She then bettered that form with an excellent fourth at York in a 0-90 on good ground - and she was only beaten 3L in a field of 17 over the far side, and she was left unchanged on 78 after that.
Since that Knavesmire run, she hasn't been able to get her head in front in two starts and ran poorly at Redcar last time. But she's down in class today in a race that looks very open.
