1	12 1st (12) (6/1 +63%) Lightening Company		6 6/1(+63%)																															(12) Lightening Company 6/1, Pretty useful at his best and he reappears off a mark only 1 lb higher than the one he defied at Redcar last spring. Stable among the winners, too, so there are reasons to be hopeful.
2	13 2nd (13) (8/1 +50%) Wootton'sun		8 8/1(+50%)																															(13) Wootton'sun 8/1, Latest win at Windsor in September. Struggled on soft ground final start but a reappearance win last year shows he's capable when fresh and he could bounce back.
3	4 3rd (4) (25/1 -108%) Baryshnikov		25 25/1(-108%)																															(4) Baryshnikov 25/1, Went off the boil towards the end of last year and fared no better on his Doncaster reappearance. C&D winner last spring but has something to prove for the time being.
4	6 4th (6) (8.5/1 -113%) Sun King		8.5 8.5/1(-113%)																															(6) Sun King 8.5/1, 11/2, first run since leaving Aidan O'Brien when creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (1m) in January. Step back up in trip should suit now returning to turf after a further 107 days off. One of the more interesting runners.
5th	3 5th (3) (11/1 +45%) Marie's Diamond		11 11/1(+45%)																															(3) Marie's Diamond 11/1, Course winner. Twenty four runs since last win in 2021. Struggled in Bahrain at the start of this year and watching brief is the percentage call.
6th	10 6th (10) (2.25/1 +59%) Cumulonimbus		2.25 2.25/1(+59%)																															(10) Cumulonimbus 2.25/1, Won back to back over this trip at Yarmouth (under Hollie Doyle) and Haydock last September. Another good run when third of 9 at Haydock (soft) on final start. Low-mileage 4-y-o who could easily have more to offer. Respected.
7th	5 7th (5) (28/1 -75%) Dark Moon Rising		28 28/1(-75%)																															(5) Dark Moon Rising 28/1, Produced a useful effort when landing 6-runner conditions event on 1m Chelmsford reapperance last spring. Failed to progress in the face of some stiff tasks later in 2022 and also well held on last month's AW reappearance at Wolverhampton.
8th	8 8th (8) (12/1 +25%) Piecederesistance		12 12/1(+25%)																															(8) Piecederesistance 12/1, C&D winner last summer but not in the same form at York and Newmarket subsequently. Placed twice over hurdles at the end of 2022. First outing for 143 days.
9th	2 9th (2) (4.5/1 +25%) Ajero		4.5 4.5/1(+25%)																															(2) Ajero 4.5/1, Won a 9f Glorious Goodwood handicap last summer. Ended his campaign with a creditable third of 8 there off this mark in October. Thereabouts if ready to roll after a break.
10th	11 10th (11) (22/1 -10%) Reel Rosie		22 22/1(-10%)																															(11) Reel Rosie 22/1, Well held in handicaps over this trip at York and Newmarket on her final 2 starts last year but she does return to action with her stable among the winners.
11th	9 11th (9) (12/1 -33%) Zealandia		12 12/1(-33%)																															(9) Zealandia 12/1, French recruit who returned from 7 months off to spring a 33/1 surprise on his York stable debut last June. Slight worry that he's failed to make it to the track since but he's clearly capable when fresh.
12th	7 12th (7) (33/1 -65%) Kenzai Warrior		33 33/1(-65%)																															(7) Kenzai Warrior 33/1, Not beaten far back on the Flat at Kempton a fortnight ago and he's beginning to look well handicapped. One to consider.

LTO Selection:

15:00 Pontefract Handicap (Class 2) 10f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well, but some of the more interesting runners include 4/1 (6) SUN KING, 4.5/1 (1) ZEALOT, 5.5/1 (10) CUMULONIMBUS, and 6/1 (2) AJERO. All of these horses have recent form and potential to improve in this race. 16/1 (12) LIGHTENING COMPANY and 16/1 (13) WOOTTON'SUN are also potential contenders if they can perform well fresh. 20/1 (7) KENZAI WARRIOR should also be considered due to his recent form and potential to be well handicapped.

ZEALOT has now won seven of his last eight starts on the all-weather, the last three under Billy Loughnane, and it will be interesting to see if he can continue that run on turf, in better company, off a 3lb higher mark than last time. Tactically adaptable, he can make all or come from off the pace, and that may give him the edge over Goodwood third Ajero, who is having his first start of the season, and Wootton'sun, who is expected to appreciate the forecast good ground.

CUMULONIMBUS was steadily progressive in turf handicaps last autumn and might prove the answer to this tricky-looking handicap. Zealot is an obvious danger if able to transfer this winter's AW improvement to the grass. Kenzai Warrior, who is starting to look well handicapped, and George Boughey's Sun King are others who could go well.

Today's course and distance brought out the best in PIECEDERESISTANCE last year and he is taken to make a winning return to action.

7th	7 7th (7) (16/1 +36%) Strongbowe		16 16/1(+36%)																															(7) Strongbowe 16/1, Last of 9 in handicap at Leicester (8.2f, heavy, 16/1), slowly away. Off 6 months. Hard to recommend.
8th	11 8th (11) (11/1 -57%) My Mate Ted		11 11/1(-57%)																															(11) My Mate Ted 11/1, Figures off a handy mark and should be straigher for this month's Kempton return. Has to be taken seriously.
9th	12 9th (12) (33/1 -65%) Willard Creek		33 33/1(-65%)																															(12) Willard Creek 33/1, Eighth of 11 in handicap (7/1) at Redcar (8f, good to firm). Off 8 months. Others preferred.

12th	8 12th (8) (33/1 -18%) Gainsbourg		33 33/1(-18%)																															(8) Gainsbourg 33/1, C&D winner. Eighth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 40/1) 11 days ago. Work to do.
13th	15 13th (15) (6.5/1 -63%) Do I Dream		6.5 6.5/1(-63%)																															(15) Do I Dream 6.5/1, Back from 5 months off when taking 15-runner handicap (18/5) over C&D (heavy) 13 days ago. 3 lb rise fair and bold follow-up bid anticipated.
14th	1 14th (1) (20/1 +29%) Swatch		20 20/1(+29%)																															(1) Swatch 20/1, 22/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, fifteenth of 17 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, soft). Off 177 days. Must improve. Gelded since last seen.

15:35 Pontefract Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

4/1 (15) DO I DREAM seems to be the strongest contender based on their recent win and 3 lb rise, with 5/1 (14) TIPPERARY MOON also meriting consideration for their good third place finish in the same race as 4/1 (15) DO I DREAM. 7/1 (11) MY MATE TED also has potential for improvement after a break and being at a handy mark, while 8/1 (2) GLOBAL SPIRIT's respectable third place in their last race suggests they could also be a likely contender.

This represents a drop in class for MY MATE TED, who finished a disappointing eighth on his return off a break over this trip at Kempton earlier in the month. He sits on the same mark as when recording a half a length second at Windsor on his third-last outing and must have every chance if reproducing that effort. Ravenglass remains 4lb above his last winning mark but is still feared, while recent C&D winner Do I Dream adds further spice to the race.

Preference is for DO I DREAM, who scored for the second time over C&D earlier this month and remains on a fair mark. My Mate Ted and Global Spirit head the list of dangers.

Having not enjoyed the best of runs when third of 15 over C&D a fortnight ago, TIPPERARY MOON earns the vote. Ravenglass is feared.

1	1 1st (1) (9/1 +44%) Giovanni Change		9 9/1(+44%)																															(1) Giovanni Change 9/1, Back to winning ways over hurdles granted an uncontested lead at Market Rasen (23f) last August. Second in a Doncaster chase when last seen in December. Last year's turf Flat runs nothing to get excited about but he might find life easier now dropping to a Class 6.
2	4 2nd (4) (3.2/1 +47%) Didtheyleaveuoutto		3.2 3.2/1(+47%)																															(4) Didtheyleaveuoutto 3.2/1, Sixth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (16.5f, 10/1) 18 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Significantly up in trip. Yard in form and he's well treated judged on his best Flat form.

5th	5 5th (5) (10/1 -11%) Dereham		10 10/1(-11%)																															(5) Dereham 10/1, Out of sorts last autumn but he took this race a year ago and returns with his stable in form. Back on a winning mark and no surprise were he to go well in this race again.
6th	3 6th (3) (28/1 -40%) Kitten's Dream		28 28/1(-40%)																															(3) Kitten's Dream 28/1, Unreliable individual. Latest win at Southwell in February but comfortably held there since.
7th	9 7th (9) (4/1 +50%) Smart Boyo		4 4/1(+50%)																															(9) Smart Boyo 4/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Respectable fifth of 8 in handicap (6/1) at Southwell (16.5f) 6 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Hollie Doyle takes the ride.
8th	7 8th (7) (18/1 -125%) Tomorrow's Angel		18 18/1(-125%)																															(7) Tomorrow's Angel 18/1, Fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Ayr (3m, good to soft, 40/1) 69 days ago. Placed off a higher mark on the Flat summer. Not discounted.
9th	2 9th (2) (18/1 -414%) Vintage Valley		18 18/1(-414%)																															(2) Vintage Valley 18/1, Modest hurdle winner. Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Good second of 9 in handicap at Southwell (16.5f, 50/1) 18 days ago, having run of race from front. Significantly up in trip.
10th	10 10th (10) (16/1 -33%) Misscarlett		16 16/1(-33%)																															(10) Misscarlett 16/1, Course winner. Bit below form third of 6 in handicap hurdle (2/1) at Newcastle (20.3f, soft) 26 days ago. Capable of being very competitive from her basement mark back on the Flat.

16:10 Pontefract Handicap (Class 6) 22f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based on this summary. However, 3/1 (8) TARBAT NESS seems to have a good chance as they had an excellent second place in their last race and are clear of the rest of the field. They are also wearing cheekpieces for the first time and are significantly up in trip. 9/1 (5) DEREHAM is also worth considering as they won this race last year and are back on a winning mark. However, they were out of form last autumn, so there is some uncertainty. Others, such as 3.5/1 (2) VINTAGE VALLEY and 8.5/1 (7) TOMORROW'S ANGEL, have shown some promise but have not been consistently competitive.

TARBAT NESS steps up in trip following a good second over 2m at Redcar earlier this month and a 3lb rise looks unlikely to stop him. The gelded son of Reliable Man left the impression that he could benefit from a stiffer stamina test. Visite Officielle has dropped 2lb following a distant third behind the selection in the aforementioned race and is feared, while Vintage Valley also warrants respect.

With the Ben Haslam stable in good form the suggestion is DIDTHEYLEAVEUOUTTO, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. John Berry pair Tarbat Ness and Dereham, who won this race last year, may provide the main opposition.

John Berry won this last year with Dereham but TARBAT NESS could be the one today. Didtheyleaveuoutto is feared most.

1	6 1st (6) (3.5/1 +0%) Tellus		3.5 3.5/1(+0%)																															(6) Tellus 3.5/1, Eager sort who was runner-up 3 times at 2 yrs over 7f, best effort when tongue tied (back on here) and splitting pair rated in the 80s at Catterick. Leading claims dropped in trip on return. Runner-up three times last year and strong claims if at her best on this reappearance.
2	7 2nd (7) (8.5/1 -6%) Wild Side		8.5 8.5/1(-6%)																															(7) Wild Side 8.5/1, Expensive purchase but down the field both starts in the autumn (reportedly lost action at Kempton final start). Work to do on return. Soundly beaten last autumn on first two starts but market check advised on reappearance.
3	3 3rd (3) (5.5/1 +0%) Quandary		5.5 5.5/1(+0%)																															(3) Quandary 5.5/1, Intello filly. Sister to winner up to 7f Milbanke. Dam, 6f winner (including at 2 yrs, also over C&D), half-sister to useful sprinter Ice Planet. Plenty to like on paper for in-form yard. Makes debut with stable in excellent form and she could have a part to play.
4	1 4th (1) (0.8/1 +12%) Dear Daphne		0.8 0.8/1(+12%)																															(1) Dear Daphne 0.8/1, Left with a lot to do and probably should have won on final 2-y-o start at Leicester (6f, heavy) and perhaps unlucky not to justify favouritism on return in Southwell handicap 20 days ago, just failing. Sets a solid standard and top apprentice up. Went very close on reappearance at Southwell and she holds leading claims.
5th	2 5th (2) (33/1 -136%) Dolores Abernathy		33 33/1(-136%)																															(2) Dolores Abernathy 33/1, Footstepsinthesand filly. Dam, 2-y-o 5f winner on debut, closely related to smart 6f-9f winner Faulkner. Makes some appeal on paper and worth a look. There's potential in her pedigree and the betting could be informative on debut.
6th	5 6th (5) (25/1 -39%) Star Map		25 25/1(-39%)																															(5) Star Map 25/1, Starspangledbanner filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 6f Pennsylvania Dutch and 2-y-o 6f winner Field of Stars. From a good family and yard have had some newcomers shape up well recently. Half-sister to three winners and yard had good record here last year; respected on debut.
7th	4 7th (4) (66/1 -65%) Selby's Joy		66 66/1(-65%)																															(4) Selby's Joy 66/1, Massaat filly. Half-sister to winner up to 6f Selby's Pride for connections. May improve for this debut but she could go well if taking after half-sister Selby's Pride.

16:45 Pontefract Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 0.83/1 (1) DEAR DAPHNE and 4.5/1 (3) QUANDARY seem to have the strongest claims. 0.83/1 (1) DEAR DAPHNE has been consistently close in her recent races and holds a solid standard, while 4.5/1 (3) QUANDARY comes from an in-form yard and has a promising pedigree. However, the other horses mentioned could also have potential and may surprise on debut or reappearance. The market check and betting could provide more insight into their chances.

Tellus and DEAR DAPHNE help to set a reasonable standard on official ratings, with preference for the latter given her proven match-fitness after a near-miss on the all-weather earlier this month. Newmarket raider Star Map appeals most from the newcomers, given she has a likable pedigree and is introduced at a realistic level. Quandary and Selby's Joy are others to monitor closely in the betting market.

DEAR DAPHNE probably should have won again on her return at Southwell and has solid claims with top apprentice Billy Loughnane up. Tellus probably has a race in her, while Quandary is an appealing newcomer for a red-hot stable.

Billy Loughnane's mount DEAR DAPHNE has gone very close the last twice and is taken to post a deserved first win.

2	6 2nd (6) (14/1 +0%) Showalong		14 14/1(+0%)																															(6) Showalong 14/1, Rather quiet last year but very well handicapped as a result. Has been well beaten in 2 runs over C&D though and suspect second time out might be the time to catch him if anything.
3	2 3rd (2) (18/1 -50%) Mereside Angel		18 18/1(-50%)																															(2) Mereside Angel 18/1, 5f Ripon nursery winner in August 2021 but lightly raced and rather quiet last season. On a workable mark if ready to roll.
4	10 4th (10) (12/1 +14%) Show Compassion		12 12/1(+14%)																															(10) Show Compassion 12/1, Modest maiden. Last of 17 in handicap at Bath (5f, soft, 9/1) 17 days ago, hampered. Capable of picking up a small race.
5th	3 5th (3) (14/1 -115%) Refuge		14 14/1(-115%)																															(3) Refuge 14/1, Successful 3 times in handicaps at Hamilton (all at 5f) in 2022. Off 6 months,14/1, fourth of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, heavy) on return 22 days ago. Should be closer to form here.
6th	1 6th (1) (6/1 -33%) Gannon Glory		6 6/1(-33%)																															(1) Gannon Glory 6/1, 2/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 48 days ago. Good claims on previous efforts and won C&D maiden for former stable this time last year.
7th	9 7th (9) (18/1 -100%) High Security		18 18/1(-100%)																															(9) High Security 18/1, Struck twice over 5f last year. Off 5 months, went close when fourth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 33/1) on return 24 days ago. More needed in this company.
8th	8 8th (8) (7.5/1 +38%) John Kirkup		7.5 7.5/1(+38%)																															(8) John Kirkup 7.5/1, C&D winner who scored at Musselburgh in May and some good efforts after in what was a busy year. Drawn in 1 on return but record fresh isn't great.
9th	5 9th (5) (1.1/1 +51%) Squeezebox		1.1 1.1/1(+51%)																															(5) Squeezebox 1.1/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 16/1, excellent fourth of 17 in maiden at Navan (5f, heavy) when last seen in October, nearest finish. That form is strong and he's an interesting handicap debutant for yard that has few peers when it comes to improving new recruits.
10th	7 10th (7) (40/1 -43%) Glory Hallelujah		40 40/1(-43%)																															(7) Glory Hallelujah 40/1, Dual winner last year. Tenth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 33/1) on return 24 days ago. This should reveal more.

17:15 Pontefract Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 2.25/1 (5) SQUEEZEBOX seems to have strong form and is an interesting debutant for a reputable yard, making them a potential contender to do well. 6.5/1 (3) REFUGE also has a good track record with three previous handicap wins at the same distance and venue, making them another possibility. 14/1 (6) SHOWALONG is also noted as being well handicapped but may do better second time out. The other horses have either had recent underwhelming performances or require more improvement to be considered a likely winner.

High Security and John Kirkup have both gone well here in the past and are worthy of consideration in an open sprint handicap. However, marginal preference is for the less exposed GANNON GLORY, who has shaped well on the all-weather since joining Richard Fahey. He reverts to turf on a competitive mark and, as he arrives in better form than most, the gelding has a solid chance of adding a second C&D success to his portfolio.

SQUEEZEBOX is interesting making his handicap debut for Mick Appleby and could be the way to go from stall 2. Gannon Glory won on his last visit to Pontefract this time last year and can go well back down in grade. Refuge is another to consider.

The lightly raced 4yo SQUEEZEBOX (nap) showed promise in Ireland and is taken to make a winning start for Mick Appleby.
