Frankster (3/1), Trinity Star (9/2), Straight Ash (5/1), Channel Packet (6/1), Miss Sheridan (8/1), Quoteline Direct (8/1), International Law (8/1), Final Frontier (12/1), Magic City (14/1)
A tricky looking opener which features last year's decisive winner Trinity Star who arrives off a 9lb higher mark and nowhere near that level of form. Micky Hammond has his string in fine fettle (saddled a double at Hexham on Tuesday) and he is doubly represented by the Pontefract regulars Quoteline Direct and Frankster, while International Law has proved consistent on the AW in recent times. However, the tentative suggestion is the Ollie Pears-trained STRAIGHT ASH who was outpaced, yet on the premises at Beverley (7½f) 18 days ago, and should relish this stiff uphill finish over a slightly longer trip (1m).
