Verdict

ILLUSTRIOUS PRINCE went close off today's mark over 6f at Pontefract last week. Declan Carroll's charge had landed a double over today's trip in July and can return to winning ways in this. Strong Man's latest second over track and trip is misleading as he was beaten seven lengths and Just The Tonic has yet to win off a mark as high as today's after scoring at Carlisle on her latest start. Ted's Brother failed to cope with a 6lb rise last time having beaten Jebel Tara at Hamilton earlier in the month.
