HAIZOOM (5.15, nap) is fancied to build on a return to winning form at Ripon 18 days ago to lift the Sky Bet Series Pontefract Cup Handicap at the West Yorkshire track on Sunday.
After a long losing streak under the care of keith Dalgliesh, a switch to Charlie Johnston’s yard reaped immediate dividends.
The mare has gone up 2lb to a new BHA rating of 78 as a result of her length-and-a-half win from Lord Caprio at Yorkshire’s Garden Racecourse, but that revised figure still leaves her well treated.
In the preceding race, LUISA CASATI (4.45, nb) looks the pick of the 11 runners bidding for success in the Sky Bet Sunday Series Pontefract Castle Fillies' Stakes.
This useful mare trained by Tom Ward posted a career best when winning a nine-runner listed race at Goodwood 51 days ago by length from Time Lock, despite missing the break.
Richard Kingscote on board this afternoon can make her presence felt again.
