Have a Sunny time at Pontefract on Wednesday, says Jason Heavey

The Daily Star’s chief tipster Jason Heavey thinks the Easterby family can team up in style at Pontefract on Wednesday

SUNNY ORANGE (2.45, nb) can be a bright spark for punters at Pontefract on Wednesday in the Honda Wakefield Super-N Amateur Jockeys’ Handicap.

The six-year-old has been beaten by only half a length on his last two starts at Beverley after being upped in trip to a mile and a quarter by the wily Tim Easterby.

Left alone on a rating of 59, the Expert Eye gelding can come on for those runs in East Yorkshire and score for the first time since April under the urgings of Tim’s son Tom.

UPPERCASE (4.45, nap) looks a capital choice in the Bet With Jayne – Your Local Bookmaker Handicap.

The gelded son of Showcasing has been progressive in recent weeks.

The Harry Eustace-trained four-year-old dug deep to get off the mark at Catterick in June before following up in good style at Epsom last month, beating Cherry Cobbler by moire than three lengths..

He is up 7lb in a more competitive race this afternoon, but with the in-form Kaiya Fraser on his back and a drop down to six furlongs, he should be up to the task.

At Brighton, the consistent BUCKLAND BELLE (4.00, trb) can take a 6lb raise in her stride on her way to striking again in the Monty Bennetts 18th Birthday Handicap.

Winning at Windsor over a mile in May, she followed up with placed efforts back at the Berkshire track twice and also at Chepstow before justifying 4-9 favourtism at Leicester.

She goes up in trip to nine furlongs and the St Mark’s Basilica filly can again get her nose in front.

A charge of James Owen, SEA SUITE (3.30), can come on for a pair of silver-medal runs and get himself back in the winners’ enclosure in the Sapporo Japanese Premium Lager Brighton Mile Challenge Handicap.

The Sea The Stars gelding was beaten one and a half lengths by Tryst at Yarmouth last month and George Boughey’s charge has franked that form by going on to win again at Newmarket at the weekend.

He was narrowly headed last time out at Sandown but despite a 4lb raise in the weights, he can get back to winning ways.
