GALE FORCE MAYA (3.25, nap) rates a worthy favourite for the Listed EBF Stallions Highfield Farm Flying Fillies’ Stakes at Pontefract on Sunday.

Michael Dods’ mare finished a fine third place behind Swingalong in the Group Three Summer Stakes at York last time out.

And the drop in grade will help Connor Beasley’s course and distance winner better her second in this race 12 months ago and record a 14th racecourse success in her 44th run.

In the following event at the south Yorkshire track, TWO AULD PALS (4.00, nb) looks to have a real chance in the Moor Top Farm Shop Hemsworth Handicap.

Trained by the canny Jim Goldie, this thriving sort won over 17 furlongs at Carlisle in June and has scored twice over 13 furlongs at Hamilton since.
