Backing an eight-year-old is a rarity for me, but there are reasons to expect a big run from Ventura Express ahead of the 4.12pm at Pontefract, and ones I cannot ignore.
Only beaten a nose over course and distance last time out, he has been put up 2lb for that but has won off this mark once before and once off 2lb higher.
Four of his six career victories have been here over the five furlongs, and he can add three seconds and a third to that tally and if there is one more win left in him, this could well be it.
