Vantheman heads our ratings at 91, three pounds clear of Another Baar on 88, and that edge is enough to make him the one to beat in a competitive ten-runner sprint at Pontefract. The way he is bunched with several rivals means this is far from a foregone conclusion, and the easy-ish ground over the five furlongs should suit a speedy type. Another Baar is the main danger, with Rogue Enforcer and Brummell both only a pound further back on 87 and capable of turning this into a tight finish. Vantheman still looks the sound choice on figures, and he is our selection.
