1st (2) (5/2 +38%)Copper Knight |
5/2(+38%) | (2) Copper Knight 5/2, Game beaten a short-head off 73 at Ayr last time; top course trainer; veteran isn't the force of old but entitled to be competitive off this mark 15-time winner and he had a near-miss at Ayr last time; should make another bold bid. |

2nd (3) (6/1 -167%)Ancient Times |
6/1(-167%) | (3) Ancient Times 6/1, Weak in the market when landing a handicap by a neck off 71 over 6f at Catterick last time; trainer in form; remains well treated on old form; strong claims Two wins from last three starts and he remains feasibly treated; respected back in trip. |

3rd (4) (11/4 +21%)Protest Rally |
11/4(+21%) | (4) Protest Rally 11/4, Did not get a clear run landing a handicap by 3/4l off 70 here last time; progressive; more needed again off career high mark Hit a personal best when winning from Hover On The Wind over C&D latest; respected up 3lb. |

4th (5) (14/1 -40%)Refuge |
14/1(-40%) | (5) Refuge 14/1, Ran to form beaten 2l off 57 at Hamilton last time; on last winning mark; others more reliable On last winning mark and was runner-up at Hamilton last time; possibilities. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (7/4 +36%)Hover On The Wind |
7/4(+36%) | (1) Hover On The Wind 7/4, Yard won this last three runnings of race; ideally suited by trip when scored by 1/2l off 72 at Beverley penultimate start; placed over this mark over C&D previously; not dismissed In-form 5yo and his yard has won the last six runnings of this race; respected. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Ancient Times was well held on his only previous run at this venue and has something to prove on that basis, while Copper Knight is more proven on stamina-demanding courses but has only won once since scoring over C&D in July 2023. Therefore, Protest Rally (winner) and HOVER ON THE WIND (second) could be the pair to focus on. The former narrowly held sway when they clashed over track-and-trip last month. However, the latter is 6lb better off at the weights, when factoring in his rider's claim, and can turn things around.

All of the runners have claims but the vote goes to 15-time winner COPPER KNIGHT, who was only just caught at Ayr last time.

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

Richard Fahey won the 2021 edition of this race with a similar type to LILY PEARL and this daughter of Ardad looks the most logical option after her promising fourth-placed finish over C&D on her debut last month. There's A Chance also created a favourable impression on her racecourse bow at Thirsk and cannot be ruled out given she had a legitimate excuse at Carlisle most recently, having stumbled at the start. Just A Girl and Westend Music are interesting newcomers for the shortlist.

The pick of the runners with experience is LILY PEARL. Flybar, Angela's Baar and Westend Music are interesting newcomers.

2nd (5) (11/2 +15%)Kitsune Power |
11/2(+15%) | (5) Kitsune Power 11/2, Below par well beaten in a handicap over 1m5f at Hamilton latest; top course trainer; down in trip; back below last winning mark; strike rate a big concern Has failed to back up reappearance effort and still has a poor strike-rate since 2022. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (3/1 -71%)Educator |
3/1(-71%) | (4) Educator 3/1, Landed a handicap by 3/4l off 77 over 11f at Windsor last time; significant jockey booking; remains well treated on old form; contender if handling the easier ground Two from two since having wind surgery; still well treated on historical data; respected. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (7/1 -100%)Perfectly Timed |
7/1(-100%) | (1) Perfectly Timed 7/1, Ideally suited by trip when landing a handicap by a neck off 83 at Thirsk last time; probably bit to come but softer ground could be an issue here Record of 2-3 since wearing blinkers, winning at Thirsk (upped to 1m4f) most recently. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Perfectly Timed and KITSUNE POWER are closely matched based on the face value of their encounter at Thirsk in April. The former only had a neck to spare over his old rival when winning that race and, armed with a 4lb pull at the weights, the latter has a big chance of gaining the upper hand this time. The hat-trick seeking Educator is another strong contender, despite going up another 4lb for a cosy success at Windsor last month.

Wind surgery has rejuvenated EDUCATOR who is taken to complete a hat-trick. Perfectly Timed is second choice.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (125/1 -150%)Team Endeavour |

10th (6) (33/1 -106%)Destination Unkown |
33/1(-106%) | (6) Destination Unkown 33/1, Below par down the field in a novice over 12f at Southwell most recent; up in trip; bit to find off what looks stiff opening mark Possible improvement up in trip for handicap debut but perhaps wishful thinking. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

QUEEN OF STEEL has been in top form of late under both codes and she got off the mark on the level in impressive fashion at Nottingham last month. With a 10lb rise for that easy success potentially being lenient, the five-year-old may prove too strong for Captain Potter, who has run with credit on his last two outings without getting his head in front. Forglen had Triple Nickle (fourth) behind when runner-up at Wolverhampton last time out and both are likely to be thereabouts again.

There are alternatives but QUEEN OF STEEL has the wind in her sails and can defy an 11lb hike for winning so well at Nottingham.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (22/1 -38%)Ravenswell |
22/1(-38%) | (2) Ravenswell 22/1, Below par beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Newbury last time; returning from long layoff; unproven on easy ground; best watched 0-8 for Ralph Smith; gelded since last run and returns from 11-month absence. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Denied by the narrowest of margins over shorter at Beverley last time out, DISTINCTION can gain compensation stepping back up in trip off 2lb higher. That may be at the main expense of Casilli, who has been winless since July 2022, but was unlucky when making headway over this distance at Beverley last month. We Still Believe and unexposed handicap debutant Desert Of The Sea cannot be ruled out either.

Off an attractive mark returned to the scene of his last success, DISTINCTION is preferred. Right Now is second pick.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (40/1 -21%)Encircle |
40/1(-21%) | (5) Encircle 40/1, Appeared not to stay well beaten in a handicap over 12f at Wolverhampton latest; should come on for the run; generally out of form since promising debut; down in trip; opposed Chance depends on whether the switch to turf sparks a resurgence. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Runner-up on his return at Beverley in a contest that has worked out extremely well since, THIS YEARS LOVE may be able to dictate this from stall four and he is only 2lb higher than his last success. A creditable third on both starts this season at Leicester, Little Tiger must enter calculations again, along with Evelyn's Phoenix, who has dropped back to his last winning mark.

With his reappearance effort a solid piece of form, THIS YEARS LOVE (nap) is preferred. Sense Of Reason is second pick.

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

Willolarupi can still make his presence felt, despite a 5lb rise for winning at Redcar last month, but it could be the turn of MINNESOTA LAD today. Ivan Furtado's sprinter posted his best effort of the year so far, when runner-up on the turf course at Lingfield, and another bold bid looks likely on that evidence. Illusionist drops in class and has a shout, especially if the forecast rain arrives.

With a combined record of 5-6 over C&D, KEEP WARM and Sir Maxi are particularly interesting returned to this scenario.

10/3(+49%) | (9) Profiteer 10/3, Did not get a clear run beaten 2 1/4l off 65 at Redcar last time; top course trainer; goes well here; just 1lb above last winning mark; every chance Two from two at Pontefract; ran encouragingly at Redcar most recently; respected. |

25/1(+0%) | (10) I Need Your Love 25/1, Probably needed race down the field in a handicap here most recent; missed the break that day; in good form prior; off a short-break; needs more Form dipped sharply (something possibly amiss) over C&D in sole run this term. |

12/1(+64%) | (6) Biplane 12/1, Slowly away beaten 10l in a handicap at Carlisle last time; inconsistent; threat if bringing best Ran poorly returned to turf last time; yet to defy a mark this high; opposed. |

11/1(-38%) | (11) Mister Sky Blue 11/1, Game when scored by 3/4l off 57 at Hamilton penultimate start; fifth beaten 2 1/2l off 60 last time where went too fast; each way shout off light weight May resume progress back down in distance; 6f winner on penultimate outing. |

9th (3) (13/2 -8%)May Blossom |
13/2(-8%) | (3) May Blossom 13/2, Below par beaten 5l in a handicap at York last time; generally out of form; easy to look elsewhere Steadily finding her form this season; 2-4 at Pontefract and 3lb below last winning mark. |

10th (8) (6/1 +33%)Loving Apprentice |
6/1(+33%) | (8) Loving Apprentice 6/1, Did not get a clear run beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap over 7f at Newcastle last time; should come on for the outing; in good form prior; down in trip; remains unexposed; danger Clearcut success in C&D maiden on final 2yo start; interesting back in this scenario. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

FIERCE found himself trapped on the rail over 5f at Beverley last time and will have likely finished closer than fourth with a clear run. However, that effort confirmed he arrives in good order and the son of Dandy Man is taken to launch a serious challenge. It would be no surprise to see a better effort from The Good Biscuit in this lower grade, while Loving Apprentice won her maiden here last autumn and will be sharper for last month's comeback.

With a combined record of 5-7 at Pontefract, the most interesting contenders are PROFITEER, Loving Apprentice and May Blossom.

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.
