14:05 Pontefract (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

ARDISIA has a couple of significant early-closing entries and can boost his chances of being a acceptor if he copes with the penalty imposed for his debut success at Musselburgh 12 days ago. The manner in which the son of Ardad won that race suggests the 7lb burden is very manageable at this stage. Tamather met all sorts of trouble on his racecourse bow but should be wiser for the experience. Supreme Dancer and Awraad, whose yard won last year's sole division of this race, are the most notable debutants.

Hugo Palmer's ARDISIA looked a good prospect when winning at Musselburgh and may well be able to defy a penalty.

LTO Selection:

14:35 Pontefract (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

HABERDASH and Dacres Cross are a pair of newcomers who should be forward enough to have a immediate impact. The former is a half-brother to a winning sprinter and debuts for a yard that is very capable of having one ready at the first time of asking. Similar comments apply to Dacres Cross, who cost 35,000 pounds and is from the extended family of Abbaye winner Avonbridge. The betting should be informative, however, and the likes of Under The Radar and Bravo Hotel are others to keep an eye on.

The market should be highly informative but at this stage the vote goes to DACRES CROSS, who has plenty of speed in his good pedigree.

15:05 Pontefract (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

RUMBA BAY is highly notable back on turf off just 3lb higher than for her narrow success at Wolverhampton last month. The daughter of Havana Grey appears to be thriving at present and gets the vote to continue in a similar vein. Ballsgrove Boy has been knocking on the door recently and is one to note along with City Captain, who has been gelded since his fourth at Chelmsford in September.

The vote goes to RUMBA BAY, who made it 2-4 for David Evans when justifying favouritism at Wolverhampton last month.

15:35 Pontefract (Class 2) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Forceful Speed is a C&D winner who failed to fire on his first start for the Raphael Freire yard in the Rosebery at Kempton, but sports a first-time hood and is well drawn. However, QITAAL finished a close-up third at Doncaster on his return to action last month and is fancied to take full advantage of an unchanged mark. Jim Crowley is two from two on Siempre Arturo so he is another to note.

Preference is for QITAAL, who was as good as ever when a close third on his Doncaster reappearance. Calumet is feared most.

16:05 Pontefract (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

PARTISAN HERO continued his progression when completing a double here last week and is quickly turned out under a 5lb penalty. The five-year-old is aided by his draw in stall two, which gives him every chance of getting the rail and going from pillar to post again. Arkenstaar lurks on an appealing mark and provided he is ready to go on his return, he ought to have a say. Chuzzlewit completes the shortlist.

Partisan Hero is respected but CHUZZLEWIT has been plying his trade in better company and is tempting off a career-low mark.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Tarbat Ness occupied the runner-up spot over timber at Huntingdon last month and was last seen on the Flat running out a five-length victor at Catterick in October. However, he might come out second best to ZEPHLYN, who hit the line strongly to score at Newcastle, shaping as if this step up in trip would eke out more. With a similar performance, he should prove tough to beat. Man Of Riddles is another to watch out for.

The vote goes to TARBAT NESS, who was runner-up over hurdles last month and his last Flat run was a 5l win at Catterick in October.

Karl Burke had a terrific record with newcomers last season and he can continue that trend with DANCE OF KNIGHTS, a half-sister to prolific sprinter Star Of Lady M, who scored on debut herself. She's The Duchess has a 7lb penalty to overcome for a determined success on her introduction over further at Newcastle and she is a key player, as is first-timer Minshaar, who is related to the Listed-placed Bombay Bazaar.

While she'll need to improve on her debut Southwell win, the well-related SHE'S THE DUCHESS has potential and can defy the penalty.

17:35 Pontefract (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

DANDY DINMONT caught the eye when running on for third on his return to action at Doncaster last month, which should have put him spot-on for this assignment. The six-year-old is now 4lb lower than his last success and may have too much for Emperor Caradoc, who was so consistent last term and struck over C&D in July. Reigning Profit and So Grateful are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

So Grateful has plenty going for him but so too does REIGNING PROFIT (nap), who's fancied to add to his 2023 win in this race.
