RUN THIS WAY should show them the way home in the Season Finale On Monday 17 th October Handicap (Div II) (5.25) at Pontefract on Monday.
Twelve months ago, Paul Midgley’s filly sprang a 40-1 shock with a four-length supremacy in this race.
Run This Way hit the bullseye on her first start of 2022 with a one-length score at Thirsk in April.
My selection has been out of luck in six starts since, but all bar one of those came in better races than this 0-75.
Not only is she a course-and-distance winner, but Run This Way has a record of two wins from four attempts on soft ground, and Graham Lee’s mount gets the Nap vote to carry top weight to victory.
After a narrow defeat at Kempton in the middle of last month, SHOWMAN is taken to go one better in the opening Sky Sports Racing Sky 415 Handicap (4.46).
The Hughie Morrison saddled son of Kingman got within a neck of Culture, a fair effort considering he was a fair distance from the lead as the field approached the home turn.
His pedigree suggests going up a furlong to a mile and a half will not be a problem and Showman looks ripe for a first career success at his eighth attempt.
