8:47 Pontefract Going Good / Distance - 1m 0f

Pool Value: £4.50

Red hot when last seen, Captain Corelli might take some stopping but his record when fresh, plus an 8lb rise are both concerning. Highland Olly showed a good attitude when scoring at Nottingham and if handling this stiffer track will be in the mix again. However, preference is for MOUNT KING, who is proven around here and was in good form prior to a lacklustre effort last time. He looks worth sticking with. Commander Of Life is not written off.[Jonathan Doidge]

1 (5)	Commander Of Life P Mulrennan / Jessica Macey	4yrs / 9st 9lb 743444 Spotlight	79	7/2	1st	2nd	3rd	Any
Commander Of Life Dual AW winner at up to 8.5f and his form has been better on those surfaces; produced his best turf effort yet when keeping on to finish under 3l fourth at Wetherby (1m, good to firm); a repeat of that effort should see him involved.
2 (6)	Paris Lights D Nolan / P T Midgley	6yrs / 9st 8lb -52625 Spotlight	80	6/1	1st	2nd	3rd	Any
Paris Lights Dual AW winner at up to 1m2f; 0-14 on turf; not quite as good as he once was and has over 1l to find with Commander Of Life on the same terms as at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) latest; more needed.
3 (3)	Captain Corelli Tom Kiely-Marshall / Miss J A Camacho	8yrs / 9st 8lb 31111- Spotlight	80	8/1	1st	2nd	3rd	Any
Captain Corelli C&D winner who ended last season with a hat-trick of wins on sound surfaces; the last of those was a career-best at Beverley in September; he returns up 8lb but could still have more to come and needs a close look in market.
4 (1)	Highland Olly Jason Hart / Grant Tuer	4yrs / 9st 7lb 30-271 Spotlight	80	7/4	1st	2nd	3rd	Any
Highland Olly 7f and 8.5f winner on good, the latter coming last time at Nottingham when he made all for a career-best; showed a good attitude when challenged there; up 2lb and there appears to be the potential to eke out some more; if handling this stiffer track he should be in the mix.
5 (2)	Milteye Non Runner / H Bethell	5yrs / 9st 7lb /87-23 Spotlight	78	SP	1st	2nd	3rd	Any
Milteye 1m winner (good) as a three-year-old; returned from a break when racing freely and second over C&D (good) on his first start for this trainer last month; marginally better effort when 2l third at Southwell (1m, AW) latest; each-way player.
6 (8)	Value Added Aiden Brookes / Micky Hammond	5yrs / 9st 4lb 40/079 Spotlight	65	28/1	1st	2nd	3rd	Any
Value Added 9.5f AW winner when with Richard Hughes; well treated on some of her form for that trainer but has been well beaten on all three starts for current yard; plenty to prove.
7 (4)	Mount King D Allan / T D Easterby	5yrs / 9st 2lb 70-220 Spotlight	81	10/3	1st	2nd	3rd	Any
Mount King C&D winner who acts on a sound surface; returned from a break with back-to-back second placed efforts at Thirsk (both 1m); on the back on those he was made favourite over the same C&D latest, when he was disappointing in weakening out of it; drops 1lb and he's a player if putting that behind him.
8 (7)	My Honey B Billy Garritty / M & D Easterby	5yrs / 8st 11lb 8209-0 Spotlight	85	22/1	1st	2nd	3rd	Any
My Honey B Has been unable to recapture a purple patch in 2023, when she completed a fast ground hat-trick at around 8.5f; well treated on that form but has only been near that level once in nine subsequent starts; well beaten on reappearance at Doncaster; headgear now goes on; plenty to prove.
