11	11 (11) (7/2 -40%) Rock Diva		3.5 7/2(-40%)																															(11) Rock Diva 7/2, Ten Sovereigns filly. Third of 9 in maiden (7/2) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) on debut 25 days ago. Showing speed but lacking the required polish off the bridle. Open to improvement and she's in the mix switched to turf. Promising third in 7f AW maiden at Wolverhampton; enters calculations.
1	9 1st (9) (2/1 +27%) Dark Rosa		2 2/1(+27%)																															(9) Dark Rosa 2/1, Dark Angel filly who was easy to back but continued theme of race-by-race progress under positive ride when second of 8 in novice at Chester (6.1f, heavy) 13 days ago. May well do better still and she's on the shortlist here. Has steadily progressive RPRs; clear second at Chester most recently; respected.
2	7 2nd (7) (9/1 -80%) Ann Terry		9 9/1(-80%)																															(7) Ann Terry 9/1, Fair third of 6 in maiden (12/1) at Ayr (6f, good to firm) on debut in July but hasn't built on that in pair of starts at Thirsk/Ripon subsequently. Another who is likely to be bettered suited to nurseries. Clear promise at Ayr on debut; disappointing in both subsequent runs.
3	5 3rd (5) (125/1 -25%) Space Raider		125 125/1(-25%)																															(5) Space Raider 125/1, Son of Ardad who was very green on debut at Beverley and he offered little having been gelded when last of 17 in novice (125/1) at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Nurseries promise to be more his bag. Down the field in northern sprints four months apart.
4	8 4th (8) (6/1 -20%) Berning Hot		6 6/1(-20%)																															(8) Berning Hot 6/1, Ran to only a modest level when seventh of 10 in maiden at Newbury (6f, good to firm) on debut in August but better display when fourth of 9 in maiden at Doncaster (7f, good) 13 days ago, no extra late on having been keen early on. Respected back at 6f. Ran well at Doncaster two weeks ago, improving on debut effort; in the mix.
5th	1 5th (1) (33/1 -32%) Ey Up He's A Star		33 33/1(-32%)																															(1) Ey Up He's A Star 33/1, Foaled February 23. Sogann gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including 5f winner Ey Up It's Maggie and 7f-1¼m winner Ey Up Its The Boss. Dam unraced. Yard have enjoyed plenty of success with this family but he may be more of a longer-term project. Half-brother to a few winners for his connections but none scored on debut.
6th	3 6th (3) (11/1 -69%) Mwafaq		11 11/1(-69%)																															(3) Mwafaq 11/1, Foaled June 5. Mehmas colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including winner up to 7f Raven's Lady and 7f-1¼m winner Zman Awal, both useful. Yard no stranger to success with thier juveniles so confidence behind him on debut would need to be viewed positively. Mehmas colt whose siblings include a Group 2 winner; interesting newcomer.
7th	4 7th (4) (3/1 +45%) Panenka		3 3/1(+45%)																															(4) Panenka 3/1, Kodiac colt who has looked a work-in-progress in 2 starts to date, taking a small step forward when sixth of 11 in novice at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 40 days ago, every chance under 2f out and no extra last ½f. In the mix in what rates a less demanding affair. Has failed to see out his races at Newbury and Newmarket, both over 6f.
8th	2 8th (2) (100/1 -52%) Golden Harmony		100 100/1(-52%)																															(2) Golden Harmony 100/1, Foaled April 28. €115,000 yearling, Kameko gelding. Always behind and looked one for the longer term when seventh of 10 in novice (66/1) at Carlisle (5.8f, soft) on debut 28 days ago. Never landed a blow in 6f contest at Carlisle.
9th	6 9th (6) (150/1 -127%) What What What		150 150/1(-127%)																															(6) What What What 150/1, Cheap purchase who possibly needed the run when coming home last of 7 in maiden at Musselburgh (7.1f) on debut 12 days ago. Unlikely to be of much interest until tackling handicaps later on. Finished last of seven in 7f maiden at Musselburgh.
10th	12 10th (12) (100/1 -203%) Samujana		100 100/1(-203%)																															(12) Samujana 100/1, Twice-raced filly. Tenth of 12 in novice at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 33/1) 24 days ago, always behind. Represents top stable but can only be watched on what she's achieved to date. Represents major stable but has two duck eggs next to her name.
11th	10 11th (10) (80/1 -142%) Nippasso		80 80/1(-142%)																															(10) Nippasso 80/1, Sogann filly. Dam maiden, including over jumps. Showed a bit when sixth of 12 in novice (200/1) at Leicester (7f, soft) on debut 16 days ago, plugging on final 100 yds. One for further down the line. Showed some promise with midfield effort over 7f at Leicester.

14:35 Pontefract Maiden (Class 5) 6f  Race Class Flow

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

DARK ROSA looks to have a solid chance representing last year's winning trainer. The Dark Angel filly has improved in each of her three starts to date, finding only the exciting Bob Mali too good at Chester last time, and another step forward could see her get off the mark. Mwafaq is a half-brother to multiple winners, including Group 2 scorer Raven's Lady, and it would come as no surprise to see him mount a bold bid on debut, while Panenka and Rock Diva are others to note.

DARK ROSA ran her best race to date under a positive ride when runner-up at Chester 13 days ago, just paying the price late on under testing conditions. Likely capable of better again, she shades the vote ahead of Rock Diva who looks sure to have derived plenty from her promising debut third at Wolverhampton. Berning Hot and Ann Terry can also get in the mix.

Steadily improving DARK ROSA looks the strongest option. Berning Hot, Rock Diva and Mwafaq complete the shortlist.

1	3 1st (3) (9/1 +0%) Loyal Touch		9 9/1(+0%)																															(3) Loyal Touch 9/1, 15/2, suffered a poor run when sixth of 9 in handicap at Chester (10.3f, soft) 12 days ago so he's in the picture. Well handicapped and better signs lately; might be worth chancing.
2	2 2nd (2) (8/11 +76%) Mr Monaco		0.727273 8/11(+76%)																															(2) Mr Monaco 8/11, Latest win at Sandown in August. 5/1, good fourth of 12 in handicap at York (11.8f, good to firm) 34 days ago. In the mix. Solid 3yo who looks set for another good run with his stable in fine form.
3	1 3rd (1) (10/1 -11%) Killybegs Warrior		10 10/1(-11%)																															(1) Killybegs Warrior 10/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. Fourteenth of 17 in handicap at York (10.2f, good to firm, 18/1) 33 days ago. Others more persuasive. Has found it tough since Kempton second in April but he's a classy type for this grade.
4	6 4th (6) (12/1 +14%) Baryshnikov		12 12/1(+14%)																															(6) Baryshnikov 12/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Redcar in May. 25/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Carlisle (11.2f, good to firm) 92 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Back on the mark he defied at Redcar in May; has a shout if returning from a break in form.
5th	7 5th (7) (12/1 -60%) Lightening Company		12 12/1(-60%)																															(7) Lightening Company 12/1, C&D winner. Creditable third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (17.2f, soft, 2/1) 33 days ago. Fairly useful on the Flat so he's not taken lightly. Decent C&D record and arrives fit from hurdling; any rain in his favour.
6th	4 6th (4) (9/1 -50%) Hosanna Power		9 9/1(-50%)																															(4) Hosanna Power 9/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Winner at Newbury in May. 18/5, last of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 81 days ago. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort. Started summer in good form; excuse on AW latest and could bounce back after break.
7th	10 7th (10) (14/1 +22%) Whathappensinvegas		14 14/1(+22%)																															(10) Whathappensinvegas 14/1, Latest win at Hamilton in June. 40/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, sixth of 9 in handicap at Ascot (12f, good to soft) 19 days ago. More is needed. Two wins at start of the summer but more miss than hit since.
8th	9 8th (9) (50/1 -127%) Educate		50 50/1(-127%)																															(9) Educate 50/1, Lightly-raced winner. Good third of 6 in handicap (9/1) at Newmarket (10f, good to firm). Off 97 days. First run for yard after leaving John & Thady Gosden and not ruled out. Quite useful for the Gosdens but might be best watched on yard after three months off.
5	5 |U| (5) (12/1 -50%) Dambuster		12 12/1(-50%)																															(5) Dambuster 12/1, Latest win at Beverley in April. Last of 6 in handicap (6/1) at Sandown (10f, good) 26 days ago. Something to find on form. Won two of first three starts but three handicap runs since have been a bit underwhelming.

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

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

MR MONACO has yet to run a bad race in five starts so far this year and built on his comfortable Sandown victory when a close-up fourth in a class 2 handicap over 1m4f at York last time. Down in both class and trip, he could prove a tough nut to crack. Having said that, Overture is a typical Sir Mark Prescott improver and she won't give up on the five-timer without a fight, while past C&D scorer Lightening Company cannot be ruled out either.

Sir Mark Prescott's OVERTURE ratteld off a four-timer at Yarmouth last week but still looks ahead of her mark under a 6 lb penalty and gets a confident vote. Lightening Company returns to this sphere on a handy-looking mark so could emerge as the main danger ahead of in-form duo Mr Monaco and Loyal Touch.

It might be worth taking on the progressive Overture with LOYAL TOUCH, who is back on a good mark and showed better signs last time.

8	8 (8) (15/8 +17%) Kirkdale		1.875 15/8(+17%)																															(8) Kirkdale 15/8, Built on promising debut effort when second of 7 in maiden at Musselburgh (7.1f, good to firm, 6/4) 12 days ago and remains open to improvement. Promise in two outings over 7f this month; thereabouts if stamina holds at 1m.
3	3 (3) (2/1 -60%) Hot Dancer		2 2/1(-60%)																															(3) Hot Dancer 2/1, Promising individual who has posted fair form in both starts, latest when second of 8 in novice at Thirsk (8f, good to firm, 3/1) 27 days ago. Should have more to offer. Runner-up both starts and another prominent showing seems assured.
2	2 (2) (6/1 -50%) Family Knight		6 6/1(-50%)																															(2) Family Knight 6/1, Foaled April 9. 38,000 gns foal, 40,000 gns yearling, Mohaather gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including very smart 1¼m-1½m winner Walton Street and 2-y-o 7f winner Elegant Appeal. Interesting newcomer. Half-brother to Walton Street (RPR 119) and needs a market check for in-form stable.
5	5 (5) (10/1 +0%) Calibos		10 10/1(+0%)																															(5) Calibos 10/1, Twice-raced maiden. 18/1, third of 6 in novice at Chester (6.1f, heavy) 13 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Each-way claims. Showed ability when well-held third last time but needs improvement for 2f longer trip.
11	11 (11) (12/1 +25%) Trojan Soldier		12 12/1(+25%)																															(11) Trojan Soldier 12/1, Foaled March 3. 10,000 gns yearling, Ulysses gelding. Half-brother to 6f/7f winner Ampeson and 5f winner Cahors. Dam, maiden (stayed 1½m), half-sister to smart winner up to 6f Triple Aspect. Half-brother to a useful 6f/7f winner; the betting should help guide to expectations.
7	7 (7) (14/1 +13%) Hi Ya Mal		14 14/1(+13%)																															(7) Hi Ya Mal 14/1, Once-raced maiden. Last of 13 in novice (11/1) at Kempton (8f) on debut 20 days ago, very slowly away. Likely to need more time. In good hands but slowly away and always behind on 1m Kempton debut three weeks ago.
10	10 (10) (20/1 +20%) Precious Spartan		20 20/1(+20%)																															(10) Precious Spartan 20/1, Foaled April 20. 22,000 gns foal, Magna Grecia gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including 7f/1m winner Dance On The Day and 8.3f-1¼m winner Leap Year Lad. Dam 2-y-o 1m-9.5f winner. This gelded son of Magna Grecia might be more one for further down the line.
12	12 (12) (50/1 +50%) Fastnet Jenkins		50 50/1(+50%)																															(12) Fastnet Jenkins 50/1, Twice-raced maiden. 200/1, last of 9 in novice at this course (6f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Best watched. Down the field in two outings over 6f in recent weeks.
1	1 (1) (50/1 +24%) Draupnir		50 50/1(+24%)																															(1) Draupnir 50/1, Once-raced maiden. Fifteenth of 17 in maiden (40/1) at York (7f, good to firm) on debut 34 days ago. Improvement required. This is easier than York race on debut but he could be considered only if backed.
6	6 (6) (50/1 +24%) Golden Crossing		50 50/1(+24%)																															(6) Golden Crossing 50/1, Once-raced maiden. 40/1, eleventh of 12 in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f) on debut 16 days ago. Likely a longer-term prospect. 40-1 when well held on recent 7f Newcastle AW debut.
13	13 (13) (50/1 +24%) Late Star		50 50/1(+24%)																															(13) Late Star 50/1, Once-raced maiden. Last of 9 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good, 80/1) on debut 47 days ago. Hard to recommend. Tailed off on 7f Newmarket debut 47 days ago.
9	9 (9) (80/1 -300%) Cangofar		80 80/1(-300%)																															(9) Cangofar 80/1, Foaled March 28. €20,000 yearling, Almanzor colt. Brother to French 8.5f winner Tilak and 1m winner Candonomore. Dam, French 2-y-o 7f winner, half-sister to French 2-y-o 5f/5.5f winner Lady Galore. Yard is not a regular source of first-time-out winners, so a watching brief is the call.

15:45 Pontefract Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

HOT DANCER only found a potentially smart rival too good in a similar event over a mile at Thirsk last month and, with further improvement likely, the son of Too Darn Hot may prove tough to stop on his third career start. Of the newcomers, Family Knight, a gelded son of first-season sire Mohaather, is respected most before market clues are known. Kirkdale also warrants respect following his Musselburgh second.

Preference is for HOT DANCER, who has acquitted himself well in both outings to date and remains with potential. Kirkdale is also a likely improver and rates the principal danger, with Family Knight the interesting newcomer.

There's little to separate HOT DANCER and Kirkdale on RPRs but they are preferred in that order.

1	1 (1) (11/4 +8%) Clever Relation		2.75 11/4(+8%)																															(1) Clever Relation 11/4, After 4 months off, justified support (6/4) when winning 6-runner seller at Goodwood (11.2f, good to soft) 32 days ago, kept up to work. Could be able to follow up with more still to offer back in handicap company. Goodwood win (1m3f) last time came in a seller and he'll need to better that form.
6	6 (6) (6/1 +0%) Molinari		6 6/1(+0%)																															(6) Molinari 6/1, A while since his last win but stepped up on recent run when second of 10 in handicap at this course (10f, good to firm, 15/2) a week ago. Not discounted from his career-low mark. Back to some form when second here (1m2f) last Thursday on his move away from soft ground.
11	11 (11) (13/2 +0%) Elforleather		6.5 13/2(+0%)																															(11) Elforleather 13/2, Recorded a third win of the season when scoring at Windsor in August. Below-par effort in hat-trick bid when sixth of 10 in handicap at Hamilton (13.1f, soft, 11/4) 22 days ago, but no surprise to see him bounce back. Two wins in the mud last month; needs to bounce back from a poor show three weeks ago.
2	2 (2) (7/1 -17%) Turner Girl		7 7/1(-17%)																															(2) Turner Girl 7/1, In first-time blinkers, left behind a lesser effort when third of 7 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 13/2) 27 days ago. Visor reapplied and she enters calculations having dropped back down to her last winning mark. Stays well and acts on soft; holds each-way claims reverting to a visor.
3	3 (3) (8/1 -23%) Sectarius		8 8/1(-23%)																															(3) Sectarius 8/1, Well held in handicaps both starts this year for P. J. F. Murphy, doing too much too soon when fourteenth of 16 at Leopardstown (8f, good, 22/1) 77 days ago. However, he's interesting for yard which does well with new recruits. Revival needed; has left Pat Murphy in Ireland; extra half mile but he's not bred for it.
7	7 (7) (8/1 -33%) Ghost Story		8 8/1(-33%)																															(7) Ghost Story 8/1, Opened account at Nottingham in July and progressed again when third of 7 in handicap (18/1) at Kempton (12f) 29 days ago. Lightly raced so she has the potential of better still to come. Won novice at Nottingham (1m2f) in July; similar at Kempton (1m4f, AW) on handicap debut.
9	9 (9) (10/1 +0%) Something		10 10/1(+0%)																															(9) Something 10/1, In first-time cheekpieces, matched previous form when fifth of 8 in handicap at Sandown (10f, good, 17/2) 8 days ago, though was off the bridle long way out. Step back up in trip should suit as he also drops in grade. Some renewed promise at Sandown (1m2f) last week and he looks worth a crack at 1m4f.
10	10 (10) (14/1 -40%) Melon		14 14/1(-40%)																															(10) Melon 14/1, Some encouragement first 2 starts, before unsuited by the further drop in trip when sixth of 12 in maiden at Carlisle (9f, soft, 28/1) in June. Capable of better returned to this longer distance for handicap debut. Makes handicap debut after 101 days off and he's brother to a German 12.5f/1m3f winner.
5	5 (5) (14/1 +0%) Upepo		14 14/1(+0%)																															(5) Upepo 14/1, Won twice at Lingfield in January. Below form last 3 starts, though fared better with a run behind him when fifth of 10 in handicap at Leicester (10f, good to soft, 20/1) 16 days ago. Task is now to build on his latest effort. Off 114 days before penultimate start; none of his turf form matches up to this mark.
8	8 (8) (14/1 +30%) Yippee		14 14/1(+30%)																															(8) Yippee 14/1, Only success at this course (10f) in May. However, he followed a couple of respectable efforts with a poor one when last of 7 in handicap (9/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 16 days ago. Bounce back called for. Maiden handicap here (1m2f) in May is his only win and his record since is not persuasive.
4	4 (4) (16/1 +36%) Whatacracker		16 16/1(+36%)																															(4) Whatacracker 16/1, Ran up to his best when making the frame at this C&D in May. However, well below that level when last of 7 in handicap at Carlisle (14.2f, soft, 17/2) when last seen 101 days ago. Others more persuasive. Fair fourth over C&D (good) in May on penultimate start and he's 5lb lower today; hood off.

16:20 Pontefract Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

GHOST STORY left a low-key debut effort well behind when scoring gamely over 1m2f at Nottingham second time up and, after shaping like she was still in good nick when finishing a solid third over this trip at Kempton last time, the daughter of Waldgeist gets the vote to make a winning handicap debut. Molinari caught the eye when finishing a never-nearer second over 1m2f here last week and a bold showing is anticipated stepping back up in trip off an unchanged mark. Recent Goodwood winner Clever Relation is also one for the shortlist.

CLEVER RELATION doubled his tally with a bit to spare in a Goodwood seller last time and he can build on that effort to gain a first handicap success. He is taken to see off the challenge of Turner Girl, who is respected back down to her last winning mark, while Sectarius is one to note as he starts off for Ed Bethell.

This looks an open race, without strong claims, but the vote goes to GHOST STORY ahead of Turner Girl and Something.

Into handicaps now and may do better still. Won at Hamilton on third start and open to further improvement on nursery debut.
6	6 (6) (7/2 -40%) Up The Pace		3.5 7/2(-40%)																															(6) Up The Pace 7/2, Improved to make a winning nursery debut in 7-runner nursery at Salisbury (7f, good to soft, 11/4) 13 days ago, driven out. 5 lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid. Did it readily on recent nursery debut at Salisbury and a 5lb rise may not stop him.
2	2 (2) (6/1 +0%) Georgecandoit		6 6/1(+0%)																															(2) Georgecandoit 6/1, Fair maiden who shaped as if there may be more to come at some stage when third of 7 in nursery (11/2) at Hamilton (6f, soft) 22 days ago. Fair third on nursery debut at Hamilton this month and may have more to offer.
7	7 (7) (6/1 -33%) Sir Palamedes		6 6/1(-33%)																															(7) Sir Palamedes 6/1, Took a small step forward to get off the mark in 5-runner maiden at Ffos Las (6f, heavy) 28 days ago, comfortably. 5 lb higher than when last seen in a handicap but should remain competitive. Short-headed in sole nursery (at York) and won Ffos Las maiden last time; high on the list.
8	8 (8) (7/1 +22%) Ruby's Profit		7 7/1(+22%)																															(8) Ruby's Profit 7/1, Made a good start to career when winning 5f maiden at Kempton in May. Hasn't built on that subsequently but ran creditably in a first-time tongue strap when fourth of 6 on belated nursery debut at Yarmouth in September. Handed some tough tasks since winning in May but needs to find something extra today.
1	1 (1) (10/1 +17%) Siegen		10 10/1(+17%)																															(1) Siegen 10/1, Progressed again when off the mark at Sandown in June. However, hasn't gone on since. Sandown novice winner but he hasn't shone on his two attempts in nurseries.
3	3 (3) (14/1 +30%) Shazani		14 14/1(+30%)																															(3) Shazani 14/1, Hamilton maiden winner in June. Struggled in his fist 3 nurseries but back on track returned to Hamilton when runner-up there earlier in the month. Merely underlined inconsistency when well held at Doncaster since. Inconsistent and best form is at Hamilton, but not ruled out on first visit here.

Closely related to a Listed winner, he appears open to further improvement and the manner of that victory suggested a track of this nature would suit. Georgecandoit is likely to be in the mix on his return to a sounder surface. Sir Palamedes is another to consider following his breakthrough success at Ffos Las.

UP THE PACE showed a decisive change of pace to open his account at Salisbury 13 days ago and a 5 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow up on that evidence. Top Juggler and Sir Palamedes head up the opposition.

Sir Palamedes is tempting but preference is for UP THE PACE, who won with something to spare on his recent nursery debut.

3	3 (3) (4/1 -14%) The Good Biscuit		4 4/1(-14%)																															(3) The Good Biscuit 4/1, Runner-up for the second time in 6f handicaps this summer when going down by only a head at Ripon (good) in June. Had a break since so fresh going into the autumn so certainly worth considering. Close second in two of his three starts this term; threatening to win a handicap.
8	8 (8) (11/2 -57%) Fiscal Policy		5.5 11/2(-57%)																															(8) Fiscal Policy 11/2, 2 wins from 4 runs this year. 17/2, confirmed himself to be an improved performer for this yard when winning 9-runner handicap at this C&D (good to firm) last week, digging deep. Goes unpenalised and fancied to be bang there. Record of 2-4 for new yard and avoids a penalty for his C&D win (good to firm) last week.
10	10 (10) (7/1 +0%) Onemorenomore		7 7/1(+0%)																															(10) Onemorenomore 7/1, Confirmed his return to form when third of 14 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to soft, 17/2) 11 days ago. Can give another good account. Respectable third at Doncaster last time; close second over C&D last October.
2	2 (2) (15/2 -36%) Thursday's Child		7.5 15/2(-36%)																															(2) Thursday's Child 15/2, Won first 2 starts this year (including over C&D in April) and returned to form from out of the blue when second of 8 in handicap (28/1) at Carlisle (5.8f, soft) 4 weeks ago, possibly helped by the return to more testing ground. Task now is to prove that wasn't a fluke. Bounced back at Carlisle last time; now returns to the scene of her spring novice win.
7	7 (7) (8/1 +20%) Broken Spear		8 8/1(+20%)																															(7) Broken Spear 8/1, Ran creditably after 6 weeks off when fourth of 12 in handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft, 20/1) just over a fortnight ago. Consistent on turf this term without reaching the peak form on which he's well treated.
1	1 (1) (8/1 -14%) Wen Moon		8 8/1(-14%)																															(1) Wen Moon 8/1, C&D winner. 4/1, below form having been on the back foot from a very early stage when ninth of 10 in handicap at Chester (6.1f, good to firm) last month. Each-way claims back in class 4 company. Respectable record at Pontefract includes three placed efforts off higher marks in 2024.
9	9 (9) (12/1 -20%) Midnite Runner		12 12/1(-20%)																															(9) Midnite Runner 12/1, 8/1, ran too badly to be true when tailed-off last of 10 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good to soft) just over 5 weeks ago. Better anticipated here. Inconsistent this season but has each-way hopes on his C&D effort in July.
11	11 (11) (12/1 +25%) Glendown		12 12/1(+25%)																															(11) Glendown 12/1, Course winner in August. 7/1, tailed-off last of 11 in handicap at Chester (6.1f, heavy) just under a fortnight ago. Must bounce back but may well do returned to this venue. Won at this course in August but has been far from consistent this term.
5	5 (5) (20/1 +39%) Reigning Profit		20 20/1(+39%)																															(5) Reigning Profit 20/1, Course winner. Latest win at Hamilton in August. Ran poorly back up in trip when twelfth of 18 in handicap (40/1) at York (6f, soft) 18 days ago. Others more persuasive. All wins over 5f; well below form when returned to 6f last time.

17:23 Pontefract Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

FISCAL POLICY remains on the same mark as last week's C&D success in an apprentice handicap and the five-year-old, who bids for a third win in four outings, is likely to prove too strong for the opposition. The Good Biscuit went close at Ripon in June and is likely to pose a strong threat along with Thursday's Child, who returned to form at Carlisle last time.

FISCAL POLICY confirmed himself to be an improved performer for this yard when doubling his tally for the season over C&D last week and he's fancied to make it 3 wins from his last 4 outings at the expense of The Good Biscuit, who was runner-up for the second time in 6f handicaps over the summer at Ripon when last seen 3 months ago and remains of interest from 2 lb higher. Wen Moon completes the shortlist down in grade.

Off an attractive mark returned to Pontefract, WEN MOON (nap) is particularly interesting. Origintrail is second choice.
