MILAN CANN' SHINE

RORY DELARGY

- 

4.40 Pontefract - Class 5 Handicap 1m6y A LOW draw allied to early speed tends to be an advantage at Pontefract over a mile and PALADIN in stall five looks best placed to make use of the inner rail on the turning Yorkshire track.

He comes from a yard in form and performed with credit when winning on his return to action at Wetherby, where he found generously for pressure to beat Yaajooz by a neck.

He was below form on his only previous course visit, but that was on heavy ground, and he improved last time on a sounder surface.

Paladin is again well positioned to take a prominent pitch, as he did at Wetherby, and he appeals as capable of progressing again given he is a rangy gelding with further scope to progress as the summer wears on.
