Pontefract Castle Fillies' Stakes
(Fillies' And Mares' Listed) of £50,000.00- Formscan
- Race Info
1st - £28,010.00 2nd - £10,665.00 3rd - £5,340.00 4th - £2,665.00 5th - £1,335.00 6th - £670.00 7th - £335.00 8th - £165.00
Formscan - This represents a fine opportunity for RIVER OF STARS, who has upwards of 9lb in hand on official ratings and arrives following a solid third when attempting to lift a second Bronte Cup at York. A drop in trip shouldn't be a hindrance to Ralph Beckett's mare and she will be hard to beat if running to form. Scenic was far from disgraced in a Group 3 at Haydock last time and is a worthy candidate, while others to note include Ayyab and Irish raider Vera Verto.

Quotes on Vera Verto (IRE)
I always thought she wanted softer ground than that, but that is probably ideal for her on the easy side of good. Gary gave her a lovely ride. We will probably keep her on the Flat for the moment and might have a look to see if there is something for her in Galway. We gave her a couple of runs over fences, but she jumps a bit too careful.
