Will Cat go down a Storm in Pontefract? Try your luck!

TRY Storm Cat should open his account at the third time of asking for Charlie Johnston in the EBF Novice Stakes at Pontefract.

The Saxon Warrior colt was a fine third over course and distance on his debut and was then just touched off at Hamilton a few weeks later by one who was not beaten too far in the Windsor Castle.

Being by Saxon Warrior and a relation of French Derby winner Study Of Man, Try Storm Cat will likely want further than the six furlongs he faces here, but he has shown more than enough to suggest he is up to winning a race of this nature.

Cosmos Raj can get back on the winning trail in the Every Raceday Is Autism Friendly At Pontefract Handicap, despite the burden of top-weight.

David O'Meara's charge has a consistent overall profile, with his recent fifth at Wetherby being the first time he has finished outside of the first three in eight starts.
