Pontefract should be applauded for staging high quality events mid-week and the Weatherbys Digital Solutions Pipalong Stakes has been a feature contest for many years.
Purplepay didn't have much joy in Australia earlier this year when finishing well beaten in two Group One contests, but William Haggas has given his filly three months to get over her exertions there plus has chosen a very good race to relaunch her season.
She won a Group Two event at Chantilly last year and because it was so early in the year, she escapes a penalty here, too.
A drop down to Listed class will certainly make life easier than the Group One contests she has been competing in, and she could be given another opportunity at the highest level again at some point this season.
The William Haggas and Tom Marquand combo is one of the most potent, and they look to hold strong claims with Purplepay here.

The presence of a Sir Mark Prescott-trained contender making their seasonal, and handicap, debut throws a spanner into the works when trying to solve this handicap, but even if Spritzin’ proves to be a handicap blot, there looks to be each-way value elsewhere.
Where’s Jeff is an exposed eight-year-old, but he is having a good season after being tried in cheekpieces at this late stage of his career.
He has won at Hamilton and run well at Beverley in the headgear plus has a good draw next to the rail, so I am very hopeful of another good effort, especially as he has hardly moved up the weights for this season’s consistent efforts.

Film Star has generally been progressive this season and has run good races at Brighton on her past two starts, including when scoring comfortably last time out, so a 5lb rise may not stop her scoring again here.
Crack claimer Billy Loughnane rides the selection for the first time on Tuesday and takes off a valuable 3lb, plus his mount should get a good lead into the race from pacesetter Honeymooner, who is drawn just inside of her.
Film Star's recent win came on soft ground, but she has run well on quicker ground, so I don’t see any impediment to a good run.
