Pontefract

FlatClass 36f

Lots with chances but Kevin Ryan's IRISH NECTAR really caught the eye when sixth in the Ayr Bronze Cup last time and goes well in the mud so gets the vote. Valentine Catcher heads the list of dangers after losing out here in the stewards' room recently, a race awarded to Keep Warm. He is a big danger along with Novello Lad, Thunder Blue and Fine Interview.
