Pontefract Race 1 - British Ebf Novice Stakes (Gbb/Gbbplus Race)
NARRJOO (1) Dictated the tempo when winning by 3/4L last run at Ffos Las and can find a nice position from the draw. Should come to hand quickly. Ready to win. CANVAS POWER (3) Initial appearance 2yo by Cracksman for Tim Easterby. Watch the market moves. MAGWITCH (4) Gave away some ground when 9th last time at Ayr. Has plenty of early speed. Good place bet. TOO DARN REGAL (5) Well beaten when 8th last start at Ascot but having second career run. Might have to make up considerable ground. Has a nice advantage with a good draw. Can finish in the money.

Controlled the speed when winning by 3/4L last run at Ffos Las and will try to take advantage of the draw. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Looks a strong bet.

Started $81.00 and average performance when 7th last time at Doncaster. Likely to get back. Not threatening these.

Jumped at $5.50 and struggled with the pace when 9th last time at Ayr. Should muster plenty of early speed. Will be a difficult assignment.

Started at $41.00 and ordinary performance when 8th last start at Ascot but fitter for debut run. Prefers to settle towards the tail. Has the ideal draw. Considerable improvement needed.
