Sky Bet Price Boosts Handicap (GBBPlus Race)

Pontefract · 17:15 · Sunday, 16 August 2026 · 1m2f5y · Good To Firm · Class 3

🤖 AI race preview

Jez Bomb leads the pace appeal with a strong track record at Pontefract, having won here on his first visit and followed with a commanding performance over C&D three weeks ago, backed by a career-high 134lbs and a solid RPR of 93; his recent form, including a win in a similar handicap, and a favourable draw of 3 place him as the most consistent performer in the field. High Degree, despite being a first-time handicap and wearing new cheekpieces, shows promise with a strong RPR of 98 and a recent second in a six-runner race at Newmarket, though his lack of course or distance experience limits his edge. The main danger comes from Without Compromise, who finished second behind Jez Bomb in a similar race and is now 7lbs better off, while Mr Seagull, making his first appearance in a visor, offers a first-time appeal with a decent RPR and recent staying effort at Ascot, though his form remains inconsistent.
