Pontefract 14:45 - Almodovar
St Leger entry Almodovar took another step forward when finishing with a flourish to score at Leicester and he can remain ahead of the handicapper for a while yet. Almodovar's big-race entries and short starting prices are an indication as to the regard in which he's held, and it would be a surprise if he didn't have much more to offer from what is a fair mark.
Pontefract 15:45 - Interception
Interception sets the clear standard based on her impressive win in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot and she will prove difficult to beat if running to that level. Admittedly, Interception was a tad disappointing when a beaten favourite at York last time, but it's well worth forgiving her for that effort as she may still have been feeling the effects of the big Ascot effort, and she can bounce back here.
Pontefract 16:20 - Pumaflor
The form of Pumaflor's latest run at York is working out well and he still looks to be on a fair mark. Pumaflor is actually worth marking up above the bare result at York, doing well to get as close as he did from an uncompromising position, and he probably has more to offer, his overall profile being one of steady progress.
