Irish Nectar arrives at Pontefract with a progressive profile that makes the three-point rating deficit to the top-rated Alpha Magic less significant than it first appears, and a fitness edge combined with encouraging clock figures backs up the view that he is on an upward curve. Alpha Magic heads the ratings and cannot be dismissed, while Beauty Choice and Ingleby Archie represent further dangers in what looks a competitive Class 5 sprint over six furlongs on good ground. On balance, the progressive profile and race-fitness of Irish Nectar make him the call here, and he is the selection.
