1	3 1st (3) (10/11 +44%) Enchant	0.909091 10/11(+44%)	(3) Enchant 10/11, 16 Mar; £300,000 breeze-up purchase by Wootton Bassett; half-siter to Legitify, who won over 1m on the dirt in the US; dam smart at 9f; likely go well for powerful connections on debut £300,000 breeze-up 2yo; stable rich in 2yo talent and she's of obvious paper interest.
2	1 2nd (1) (85/40 -13%) Bleep Test	2.125 85/40(-13%)	(1) Bleep Test 85/40, Second by 2l on debut at Redcar; won second start back there; second beaten a neck in a novice over 5f at York in better; steadily progressive; top course trainer; up in trip; contender Useful form on all three starts; know-how is a big plus against two newcomers; contender.

14:10 Pontefract (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Having lost little in defeat when finishing a close-up second in a class 2 event at York recently, this looks a suitable opportunity for BLEEP TEST to outrun her rivals. Tim Easterby's filly sets a good standard dropping in class and her experience could prove crucial. 300,000-pound newcomer Enchant must be monitored in the betting, along with American Flight, a half-sister to the Group-placed Les Bleus.

The newcomers, especially Enchant, are of interest but BLEEP TEST is useful and may do better. She can exploit her experience.

1	2 1st (2) (85/40 +23%) Twilight Guest	2.125 85/40(+23%)	(2) Twilight Guest 85/40, Hat-trick seeker; going away a touch line and came clear with second landing a handicap by 2 1/2l off 52 for second straight win at Brighton; form progressing and rated in 60s in 2023; in the mix Took an age to get off the mark but now chasing a hat-trick after two easy Brighton wins.
2	1 2nd (1) (15/8 +38%) Hawa Jumeirah	1.875 15/8(+38%)	(1) Hawa Jumeirah 15/8, All out after looking like would win easily landing a handicap by a head off 56 at Leicester last time; high cruising speed, but lacks turn of foot at 10f; can't ruled out entirely looking to follow up Two wins this year, the latest last month over this trip on good to firm; needs more here.
3	3 3rd (3) (6/4 +63%) Roman Secret	1.5 6/4(+63%)	(3) Roman Secret 6/4, Probably needed race when reappearing for first time since October when fourth beaten 5l in a handicap at Nottingham latest; another who could be in with a chance, but on long losing streak Shaped okay on stable/seasonal debut; sharper today but may prefer good ground or slower.

14:40 Pontefract (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Twilight Guest supplemented his breakthrough victory at Brighton last month when following up over the same C&D six days later. George Margarson's gelding warrants respect in his hat-trick bid, but could be worth taking on off a 7lb higher mark. Hawa Jumeirah arrives on the back of a triumph at Leicester, but preference is for ROMAN SECRET, who is taken to improve on her fourth-placed seasonal/stable bow at Nottingham earlier this month.

Roman Secret can build on her recent stable debut but the thriving TWILIGHT GUEST can complete his hat-trick.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (5/1 +17%) Sol Cayo	5 5/1(+17%)	(3) Sol Cayo 5/1, In-form when last seen at the start of the year; well treated at weights when landing a handicap by 1/2l off 82 over 11f at Southwell in January; returning from a break; up in trip; making turf return In fine form on AW when last seen; 0-6 on turf though and he'll need to be cherry ripe.
2	2 2nd (2) (5/6 +39%) Lieber Power	0.833333 5/6(+39%)	(2) Lieber Power 5/6, Looked to improve when 7l third over 12f at Newmarket last month; even better when beaten by less than 2l in fourth at Haydock last time; drops in class here; the pick on balance of form Ran well in a stronger race at Haydock last month; looks set for a big run.
3	4 3rd (4) (7/4 +75%) Expert Witness	1.75 7/4(+75%)	(4) Expert Witness 7/4, Scored by a neck off 79 over 10f at Windsor penultimate start; below form when fifth beaten by 7l off 83 last time; up in trip; Hector Crouch booked; value selection based on balance of form Below best last time but had earlier started life with her new yard in good order; chance.

15:10 Pontefract (Class 3) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Sol Cayo continued his progression for current connections when landing the spoils at Southwell 149 days ago and he must enter calculations. However, he does have something to prove on turf, so LIEBER POWER could be the one. The son of Cracksman arrives on the back of a respectable fourth in a class 2 event at Haydock and a similar performance may prove sufficient. Expert Witness is also noted.

Expert Witness is better than she showed last time but LIEBER POWER looks the safest option.

1	1 1st (1) (7/1 -8%) Allonsy	7 7/1(-8%)	(1) Allonsy 7/1, Yard won this last year; completed a fantastic four-timer last summer; not disgraced when fourth beaten 8l in Bronte Cup Fillies' Stakes (Group 3) over 1m6f at York latest; enjoys making it; down in trip; threat in lower grade Four handicap wins last summer; solid efforts in 2025 and this looks less taxing.
2	4 2nd (4) (10/3 -11%) Karmology	3.333333 10/3(-11%)	(4) Karmology 10/3, Perhaps out of depth when comfortably held in Middleton Fillies' Stakes (Group 2) over 10f at York last time; in fairly consistent form prior, including close second in Listed company penultimate start; up in trip; chance back in grade Unexposed at the trip; tough task latest but reappearance second gives her solid claims.
3	5 3rd (5) (5/1 +0%) Meribella	5 5/1(+0%)	(5) Meribella 5/1, Yard won this last year; did not get a clear run 2l third in a handicap on reappearance at Goodwood last month; showed a good attitude to win at Doncaster three starts back; not out of it back at Listed level Promising return to action at Goodwood last month but has work to do with Santorini Star.
4	7 4th (7) (5/4 +29%) Santorini Star	1.25 5/4(+29%)	(7) Santorini Star 5/4, Nicely weighted and ran at least to best won a handicap at Goodwood by 1 1/2l last time; that was fourth win in six starts; Tom Marquand on board after a solid Royal Ascot; probably still progressing Four wins from six starts; improved for 1m4f at Goodwood last month; major player.
5th	6 5th (6) (20/1 -25%) Overture	20 20/1(-25%)	(6) Overture 20/1, Keen and didn't get a clear look at daylight when beaten 4l in a handicap at Goodwood last time; usually consistent, including completing four-timer last year; trainer in form; enjoys making it; bit to find Progressive filly but will need a clear personal best if she's to contend.
6th	2 6th (2) (25/1 +24%) Bas Bleu	25 25/1(+24%)	(2) Bas Bleu 25/1, Won over this distance at Doncaster two starts back; failed to follow up when not get a clear run fourth beaten 3l in a handicap at Goodwood latest; more needed now in Listed company Work to do with Santorini Star on latest Goodwood run; hard to recommend.
7th	3 7th (3) (10/1 -33%) Jane Temple	10 10/1(-33%)	(3) Jane Temple 10/1, Ideally suited by trip beaten 9l in Bronte Cup Fillies' Stakes (Group 3) over 1m6f at York last time; in good form prior with back-to-back wins at Southwell and Kempton; down in trip; may contend Two AW wins; just over 1l behind Allonsy on turf debut latest; still open to improvement.

15:40 Pontefract (Class 1) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

KARMOLOGY has been the bridesmaid on three previous occasions in Listed races but is a game mare who could step up here. The Karl Burke-trained five-year-old is set to encounter ideal ground conditions and, still unexposed over the trip, there is plenty to like about her. Ralph Beckett has a good record in this and plays another strong hand, with the less-exposed Meribella shading preference over Allonsy as the main danger. Santorini Star could go well too.

Progressive SANTORINI STAR (nap) has been found a good opening for her first start at Listed level. Karmology is feared most.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (6/5 +64%) Captain Potter	1.2 6/5(+64%)	(6) Captain Potter 6/5, Not been in bad form so far this season when going close on a couple of occasions; beaten 3/4l off 58 over 2m1f here last time; solid contender if replicating that form over this slightly longer trip Comes here in good form but drying ground is not ideal and he's creeping up the weights.
2	4 2nd (4) (7/2 -27%) Diamand De Vindecy	3.5 7/2(-27%)	(4) Diamand De Vindecy 7/2, Ideally suited by trip when scored by 9 1/2l off 63 here three starts back on reappearance in this sphere in April; sixth beaten 12l off 71 last time when perhaps not suited by firmer ground; up in trip Ran away with a C&D handicap in April; needs to bounce back from a poor Haydock run.
3	5 3rd (5) (16/1 -14%) El Borracho	16 16/1(-14%)	(5) El Borracho 16/1, Out of form comfortably held in a handicap chase over 2m at Doncaster last time; third when last seen in this sphere last August; back up in trip; not out of it on return to the flat Not at his best over fences when last seen; returns from 190 days off; others appeal more.
4	1 4th (1) (7/2 +46%) Almudena	3.5 7/2(+46%)	(1) Almudena 7/2, Yard won this last year; raced freely down the field in a handicap over 1m6f at Chelmsford most recent; consistent prior; blinkers tried first time; trainer in form; up in trip; in the mix Low-key return to action but unexposed over 2m and this trip could suit even better.
5th	3 5th (3) (11/2 -22%) Cinnodin	5.5 11/2(-22%)	(3) Cinnodin 11/2, Slowly away when scored by 1/2l off 72 over 2m at Kempton three starts back; fifth beaten 4l off 74 last time; up in trip; returns to turf after AW spell; the pick on balance of form On a fair mark and has C&D form; drying ground is probably not ideal though.

16:15 Pontefract (Class 4) 18f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

SURREY FIRE is open to progression and given that his dam won the Cesarewitch during her career, there are very good reasons to expect the Hughie Morrison-trained four-year-old will have the stamina reserves to have a big impact. This is no easy task and the likes of Almudena and Diamand De Vindecy, a C&D winner in April, will keep the selection honest. Captain Potter could also be a surprise package in an open race.

Almudena can leave her reappearance behind her but a thorough stamina test could unlock SURREY FIRE's undoubted potential.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (7/2 +0%) Rare Change	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(6) Rare Change 7/2, Given a lot to do and possibly better than the bare form scored by a nose off 80 over 7f at York when following up on Windsor win; never had a clear run and keeping on late 10th off 83 last time; down in trip; generally in form, fast ground suits best Win first two starts this year (6f/7f); latest run easy to excuse; likely still improving.
2	2 2nd (2) (7/4 +7%) Partisan Hero	1.75 7/4(+7%)	(2) Partisan Hero 7/4, Looks very progressive in 2025 and improved again when landing a handicap by a head off 84 when back to 7f at Epsom last time; trainer in form; enjoys making it; drops in trip again for this String of good runs this year, winning three times; still feasibly treated; drops in trip.
3	7 3rd (7) (7/1 -27%) Native Instinct	7 7/1(-27%)	(7) Native Instinct 7/1, Raced freely beaten 5l in a handicap over 7f at Doncaster last time; consistent enough in three other career starts, including comfortable win at Redcar in October; down in trip; probably bit to come Unexposed 6f 2yo winner (soft); hung right when midfield on seasonal/handicap debut latest.
4	3 4th (3) (10/1 -11%) It Just Takes Time	10 10/1(-11%)	(3) It Just Takes Time 10/1, Showed good attitude when scoring over 7f at Doncaster in November; hasn't shown too much of late; beaten 3l off 84 at York last time; wide draw; probably at best when at 7f He has run well in both C&D starts; in fair form this year but he needs to raise his game.
5th	4 5th (4) (5/1 +64%) Northern Spirit	5 5/1(+64%)	(4) Northern Spirit 5/1, Slowly away when scored by a length off 78 over 5f at Beverley three starts back; below form on couple of outings since; ninth beaten 4 1/2l off 82 last time; outside chance Not seen to best effect in two runs since an impressive 5f win in April; shortlisted.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Partisan Hero has done all his winning over further, including on Oaks day at Epsom latest, but this previous course winner still needs to be respected. The vote, however, goes to RARE CHANGE. On target at Windsor and York before enduring a troubled passage at Goodwood last time, the three-year-old could bounce back. Northern Spirit is drawn well in stall one and should not be overlooked.

Northern Spirit and RARE CHANGE could find that this is run to suit and the selection has looked an improved performer since gelded.

2	3 2nd (3) (10/1 -33%) Volenti	10 10/1(-33%)	(3) Volenti 10/1, Course specialist at Newcastle, winning for the fourth time there when last scoring in January; good effort when close second at Ripon from big odds latest; fast ground may be an issue Ran as well as he ever has when second at Ripon last month; drying ground is a query.
3	4 3rd (4) (9/2 +36%) Castro Aurum	4.5 9/2(+36%)	(4) Castro Aurum 9/2, Up in trip and slightly in class when beaten 3l off 73 over 10f at Nottingham last time; blinkers applied for the first time; back down in trip to distance he won at at Bath on penultimate start Looked tricky last time but a change of headgear could help and she's still low mileage.
4	6 4th (6) (11/4 -100%) Adorla Of Achill	2.75 11/4(-100%)	(6) Adorla Of Achill 11/4, Well backed, unexposed second handicap start and improved landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off 66 at Haydock last time; Rossa Ryan takes over from Oisin Murphy, so still in good hands; the pick on balance of form Made all in a 1m handicap at Nottingham last month; up 5lb but unexposed.

17:25 Pontefract (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Adorla Of Achill made all to score at Haydock last month and is respected off 5lb higher, but preference is for STYLE OF LIFE. Back on the grass for her seasonal return at Chester recently, the daughter of New Bay recorded a commanding success. 6lb higher but already proven at this venue, she appears to hold outstanding claims. Volenti is another who must enter calculations.

Last-time-out winners Style Of Life and ADORLA OF ACHILL can dominate. The selection may be open to the greater progress.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
