High Degree heads this Pontefract Class 3 contest on ratings, sitting narrowly ahead of Ammes and a good few pounds clear of the rest, and on good-to-firm ground over ten furlongs the conditions look tailored to bring out the best in him. Ammes represents the most obvious threat given a rating only seven pounds adrift, while Mr Seagull and Farasi Lane will need to find more than their figures suggest to trouble the principals. With the form pointing firmly in one direction, High Degree is the selection.
