Pontefract Race 1 - Racing Foundation Supports The NHC EBF Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)
INNICHEN (1) brings the best exposed form, finishing 2nd at Newmarket over 1005m last start, beaten 4.25L in a small field. The remainder—OR ANOTHER (2), SPECTACULAR DIVER (3), and BLACK CUILLIN (4)—are all debutants and must be respected, but Innichen (1) sets the standard on race experience.
