Missmimi

2.25
9/4(+63%)

Course win in July (5f, good); fair form in defeat since; needs to raise her game a level.

(7) Profiteer 15/2, No obvious excuse when beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Catterick last time; from a top course trainer; suited by 6f and wants soft at 5f; Pontefract suits but current mark remains tough.
Well suited by the track and twice a runner-up over C&D this year; should be involved.

13:52 Pontefract (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Bill Plumb returned to winning ways at Yarmouth last month but a 4lb rise will make life tougher for him here. With that in mind, preference is for CARGIN BHUI, who was only beaten half a length into third over 6f at Carlisle last time and the handicapper looks to have been generous to leave him on the same mark. The recent Southwell third Mattice may prove to be the main threat on this occasion.

Cargin Bhui looks set to go close but PROFITEER goes well at Pontefract and is tentatively preferred.

Form of his first two starts needs marked improvement.

14:22 Pontefract (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

The one to beat is clearly KIND TOUCH, who made a winning debut over 5f at Ripon last month and the third from that contest has won subsequently. With the prospect of more to come, Richard Fahey's colt can maintain his unbeaten record. Qila was far from disgraced when fifth on his racecourse bow earlier in the month and has to be noted as a result. Any market support for either of Master Of Shanghai or Starmade would be of interest.

Kind Touch is greatly feared but a chance is taken instead on FOZZIE, who ran well for a fair way on his 7f debut.

(3) In The Breeze 20/1, Outclassed when stepped up in grade, finishing down the field in a 1m6f handicap at Haydock most recently. Generally out of form, effective 10-12f, but yet to prove ability remains after a layoff.

Silver Chamber

0.909091
10/11(+48%)
(5) Silver Chamber 10/11, Improved when suited by a stiff test, winning by 3/4l off 65 at Ripon penultimate start. Ran to form next time, just out-battled late when second, beaten a head off 69. Progressive over 10-12f on fast ground with more to come.
Steady improvement in h'caps; beaten a head 17 days ago; gradual progression is appealing.

(1) Yorkshire Lady 11/4, Built on a recent revival when stepping up in trip, appreciating easier ground to land a handicap by a length off 80 over 11f at Windsor last time. Effective 10-12f, unexposed at 12f, and back in form of late.
Stayed on to score (11.5f, soft) 17 days ago; unexposed around this trip; respected.

Progressed this year, winning twice before second 25 days ago; may still be improving.

14:52 Pontefract (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

SILVER CHAMBER only just failed to follow up her Ripon success when a head second at Windsor last time. A reproduction of either of those efforts would give William Haggas' filly a big chance here, despite being on a career-high mark. The consistent Percy's Daydream is likely to be in the mix once again, while Twilight Moon and Yorkshire Lady complete the shortlist.

None of the five fillies and mares can be dismissed but SILVER CHAMBER (nap) gets that little bit better every time she runs.

15:22 Pontefract (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

There are no outstanding claims in this line-up, but it is SALARIA who makes the greatest appeal. Charlie Clover's new recruit didn't see out 1m4f at Catterick when last seen in May but she had been largely consistent prior to that and a breakthrough triumph should not be far away. Shabu Shabu has proven far more effective on the turf so his latest Kempton effort is best forgiven. Free Pic is another to note.

This doesn't look like it will take too much winning and it may pay to take a chance on handicap debutant KINGS COLLEGE.

15:52 Pontefract (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Sweet Kiss got up in the closing stages to score under Jake Dickson at Leicester recently and the daughter of Ulysses merits plenty of respect. However, preference is for LIGHTS GO DOWN. Mick and David Easterby's gelding bumped into a progressive rival when filling the runner-up spot at Ayr in July and compensation could be on the cards. Space Raider is a player too.

This looks competitive but SWEET KISS has struck up a good partnership with Jake Dickson and escapes a penalty for her latest win.

16:23 Pontefract (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

William Haggas landed the corresponding event 12 months ago and could do so again courtesy of National Park, who sets the standard with an official rating of 81, although INFLUENTIAL is preferred. Roger Varian's colt made a pleasing introduction at Yarmouth in May and should be more streetwise this time. Bambalam enters calculations, while market support for debutant Neptune Street would be noteworthy.

This looks a good opportunity for NATIONAL PARK to get off the mark. He showed promise in the spring on his first three starts.

(1) Captain Potter 10/11, Scored by 5l off 66 here on his penultimate start. Did too much too soon up in grade off a revised mark when 11th, beaten 34l off 70 last time. Suited by 2m, goes well at Pontefract, though more needed to defy current mark.
Form figures in staying handicaps at this track this year read 211; respected back here.

(7) Louie's Folly 10/1, Ridden to stay but below par on handicap debut when comfortably held over 1m6f at Southwell last time. Usually consistent. Wears a visor for the first time. Has little reliable form and remains very hard to assess.
Unexposed but was beaten 22l, despite finishing fifth of 12, on h'cap debut; visor goes on.

(5) Young Merlin 7/2, Ran to form back on the flat when beaten 4l off 60 over 2m at Musselburgh last time. Off a short break. Acts on good ground, best with cut, effective 14-16f. Should come on for the reappearance.
Good start for this yard when staying-on second (2m, good) in July; contender..

(4) Dalton Park 9/1, Dwelt and reluctant early before having too much to do when fourth, beaten 7l in a 1m6f handicap at Southwell last time. Significant jockey booking and returns from a short break. Effective 12-14f and likely to stay 2m, but slow starts remain a serious issue.
Having big issues at the start; player if getting away on terms; significant 'if', though.

18/1(+28%)
(3) Wasthatok 18/1, Outpaced and unsuited by how the race developed when running poorly, well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Cartmel latest. Usually held up. A 2m hurdles winner in Ireland but still a maiden on the flat and currently in poor form.
Regressed over hurdles this year for Kerry Lee and recent Flat form is none too inspiring.

(2) Glory And Honour 18/1, Travelled well and was suited by the stiff test when scoring by 1 1/2l off 115 over 2m at Hexham in June with first-time blinkers as the race fell apart behind. Outpaced when below form last time, finishing fifth beaten 21l off 116; stiff mark.
Not so good over jumps of late; disappointed on last two Flat starts in the spring.

Form figures this term read 2123, the win (2m, good to firm) coming in June; solid..

16:55 Pontefract (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

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

YOUNG MERLIN was rated as high as 78 in his pomp and made a pleasing debut for the Rebecca Menzies stable when runner-up off this mark of 60 at Musselburgh in July. A change of scenery might be just what the nine-year-old needed and, with the talented Elizabeth Gale taking 5lb off his back, he is fancied to play a leading role. Dereham has been running consistently well this year and should give another good account, while Captain Potter has every chance.

Third in this last year, DEREHAM returns in good nick and looks almost certain to run his race again.

(4) Good Heavens 25/1, Ran to current form when beaten 3 1/4l off 80 over 10f at Ayr last time. Notable jockey booking today. Form tailed off in Ireland and has been struggling since moving to this yard.

Course winner (6f, soft); encouraging stable debut when 3rd (7f, AW) in July; same mark.

17:32 Pontefract (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Altmore made an encouraging stable debut for Edward Bethell when a staying-on third over 7f at Southwell and he's of huge interest stepping back up in trip off the same mark, but MILTEYE shades the verdict in receipt of 8lb. The five-year-old has been in excellent form of late and, with Aiden Brookes' claim taken into consideration, he effectively lines up off the same mark as when readily making all at Carlisle latest. Great Blasket and Garden Oasis are others to keep an eye on.

A good handful to consider but SWIFT SALIAN has been shaping like he's about to peak again and is drawn to attack.

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.
