14:08 Pontefract (Class 6) 5f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (10/1 +29%) Kyber Crystal	10 10/1(+29%)	(4) Kyber Crystal 10/1, Had no obvious excuse when beaten 10l in a handicap at Hamilton last time. Effective at 5f on good to firm and soft. Needs to build on latest, with a mark not overly generous. Below par at Hamilton on Sunday but close third at Carlisle previously and not ruled out.
2	1 2nd (1) (3/1 0%) Papa Don't Preach	3 3/1(0%)	(1) Papa Don't Preach 3/1, Ran to form when beaten a neck off 58 at Nottingham last time, back down in trip. Returning from a break. Effective at 5-6f and mainly seen on sound surface recently. Arrives in form. Not easy to win with and returns from break but he was in good form when last seen.
3	6 3rd (6) (9/1 +18%) Glendown	9 9/1(+18%)	(6) Glendown 9/1, Below form when beaten 7 1/2l in a classified 6f race at Thirsk last time. From a top course trainer. Effective at 5/6f and acts on any. Currently in poor form. C&D winner who is on a dangerous mark but he's struggled on his last few runs.
4	8 4th (8) (14/1 -40%) Brazen Rascal	14 14/1(-40%)	(8) Brazen Rascal 14/1, Had every chance but was beaten 6l in a classified 7f race at Catterick last time. In good form prior. Cheekpieces on first time. Wide draw. Effective at 6-7f, but still a modest maiden. Some reasonable performances this season but needs something extra now in cheekpieces.
5th	3 5th (3) (11/10 +51%) Canaria Queen	1.1 11/10(+51%)	(3) Canaria Queen 11/10, Improved with a clear run to score by a neck off 53 at Carlisle on her penultimate start. Ran to form when second, beaten 1 1/4l off 56 last time. From a top course trainer, effective 5/6f, in quite good form. Three wins in the second half of this year and another big run when second on Sunday.
6th	2 6th (2) (6/1 -20%) Fortunate Star	6 6/1(-20%)	(2) Fortunate Star 6/1, Scored by 3l off 57 at Haydock in July. Made too much use of when seventh, beaten 6 1/2l off 59 last time. Effective at 5/6f and acts on any. In moderate form, handicapper starting to ease. Won under Harry Smith at Haydock in July but has gone off the boil more recently.
7th	5 7th (5) (5/1 +9%) Masterclass	5 5/1(+9%)	(5) Masterclass 5/1, Ran to form when beaten a length off 53 at Newcastle last time. Suited by 5f and acts on any. In-and-out performer but looks on a workable mark. Close third at Newcastle recently and he can be in the mix if he's on another going day.
8th	7 8th (7) (33/1 -83%) Ninety Nine	33 33/1(-83%)	(7) Ninety Nine 33/1, Found little when beaten 10l in a classified race at Newcastle last time. Suited by 5f and may need some cut in the ground. Set to encounter slow ground for the first time this season, which could be a plus.

14:08 Pontefract (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

CANARIA QUEEN has turned a corner since landing classified honours at Nottingham in July, notching up two further wins since, and she finished a creditable second at Hamilton on Sunday. Jack Dickson takes a handy 7lb off her back and with no concerns regarding ground, this looks another fine opportunity. Previous C&D winner Glendown has been a little frustrating of late but he's become well handicapped as a result and is proven soft ground. Papa Don't Preach is also noted.

The mare CANARIA QUEEN has been in rude health of late and can go one better than when runner-up at Hamilton on Sunday.

14:43 Pontefract (Class 5) 6f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (4/9 +39%) Spanish Waltz	0.444444 4/9(+39%)	(5) Spanish Waltz 4/9, Made a very promising debut when runner-up, beaten 1 1/4l in a 7f maiden at Ffos Las. Trainer is in form. Effective at 7f, with speed in the pedigree and proven on testing ground. Should improve and can win soon. Travelled well when second over 7.3f on debut; attractive claims now down to a sprint trip.
2	4 2nd (4) (80/1 +20%) Ryefield	80 80/1(+20%)	(4) Ryefield 80/1, Sent off at triple-figure odds again, showed poor action and was asked for early pace but never threatened when beaten 9l in a 5f novice at Nottingham last time. Returning from a break and difficult to fancy. Triple-figure odds & well beaten on first two runs; transformation needed on stable debut.
3	1 3rd (1) (28/1 -155%) Dontwaste A Moment	28 28/1(-155%)	(1) Dontwaste A Moment 28/1, Showed minor promise when beaten 6l in a maiden at Ripon on debut. Effective at 6f and should improve with that initial experience. Seventh of nine at 11-1 on last month's debut at Ripon and considerable improvement needed.
4	3 4th (3) (5/2 -25%) Napolian	2.5 5/2(-25%)	(3) Napolian 5/2, Ran to form when 5 1/4l third in a novice at Haydock on latest outing. Ridden by a top course jockey, effective at 6f on good or good to firm, and looks capable of winning a novice. 0-3 and vulnerable if bumping into anything useful but has good form and is in the picture.
5th	6 5th (6) (25/1 -79%) Tiny Riot	25 25/1(-79%)	(6) Tiny Riot 25/1, 3 Apr; 40,000gns breeze-up purchase by Sottsass; half-brother to Quarry Stone, fair at 5f. 40,000gns 2yo breeze-ups; leading jumps trainer had 2yo soundly beaten at 22-1 on Monday.
6th	2 6th (2) (14/1 +13%) Mick The Vest	14 14/1(+13%)	(2) Mick The Vest 14/1, 3 Apr; Dream Ahead gelding; half-brother to Double Jabbed, useful at 6f; dam very useful at 5f at 2yo. Dam 5f 2yo winner (RPR 77) from useful family; could give a good account for in-form yard.

14:43 Pontefract (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

A confident vote goes to SPANISH WALTZ, who made a highly-pleasing introduction at Ffos Las recently. Ralph Beckett's charge travelled strongly before weakening late on over an extended 7f that day, so a drop in trip looks likely to be of benefit. Napolian boasts an official rating of 75 and is undoubtedly the main threat, while Dontwaste A Moment can chase the pair home.

The Ralph Beckett-trained SPANISH WALTZ is from a family of sprinters and can get off the mark now down in trip on his second start.

14:43 Pontefract (Class 5) 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:18 Pontefract (Class 4) 6f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (22/1 -100%) Lily Pearl	22 22/1(-100%)	(8) Lily Pearl 22/1, Had every chance when fourth, beaten 4l in a novice at Carlisle last time. Speedily bred and suited by 6f on a sound surface but appears to have reached her level. A tad underwhelming at Carlisle latest but promise over C&D previously; nursery debut.
2	2 2nd (2) (7/1 +30%) Tropical Dreamer	7 7/1(+30%)	(2) Tropical Dreamer 7/1, Raced on the far side in the worst part of the track when beaten 9 1/2l in an auction race at Naas last time. Returns from a short break; effective at 5-6f. Worth forgiving that latest run and opening mark looks fair. Soundly beaten in Irish sales race last time but not ruled out in view of previous promise.
3	3 3rd (3) (5/2 +44%) Lucky Hero	2.5 5/2(+44%)	(3) Lucky Hero 5/2, Raced too freely and was caught late, but ran to form when beaten 1/2l off 76 over 7f at Sandown last time. Wears a visor for the first time; has top course jockey booked. Effective 6-7f, acts on any ground; in form and fairly treated. 0-5 but has gone close in both nurseries and he's one to consider.
4	1 4th (1) (10/3 +76%) Tricky Tel	3.333333 10/3(+76%)	(1) Tricky Tel 10/3, Probably did not stay when beaten 6 1/4l in a nursery over 7f at Doncaster last time; better suited by 6f and acts on good ground. Has a good attitude but needs to settle better to last 7f; possibly flattered by novice wins. Won at Chester in May on first two starts but down the field in recent Doncaster nursery.
5th	4 5th (4) (16/1 -60%) Yorkshire Puds	16 16/1(-60%)	(4) Yorkshire Puds 16/1, Outclassed when upped in grade and well beaten in the Gimcrack Stakes (Group 2) at York last time. Tongue-tie fitted for the first time; drawn wide. Bred for speed and may prefer a sound surface; a strong type, game like most of sire's progeny. Difficult to assess ahead of nursery debut but he's a possible improver for in-form yard.
6th	7 6th (7) (7/1 -100%) Runamara	7 7/1(-100%)	(7) Runamara 7/1, Improved when winning a maiden at Bath by 1/2l last time, not doing much in front. Trainer is in form. Suited by 6f on soft ground; needs to confirm that latest improvement. 33-1 winner on soft ground at Bath three weeks ago and respected on nursery debut.
7th	6 7th (6) (8/1 -100%) Alaskan Light	8 8/1(-100%)	(6) Alaskan Light 8/1, Heavily backed and took advantage of a drop in class when winning a seller at Musselburgh over 5f by 2l last time. Returns from a break; probably has a bit more improvement to come. Won Musselburgh seller in June when last seen; could have more to offer; nursery debut.
8th	5 8th (5) (5/1 -43%) Demetrius	5 5/1(-43%)	(5) Demetrius 5/1, Well treated despite being raised 6lb, lit up by first-time visor and improved again to score by 1 1/2l off 70 at Chelmsford two starts ago. Suited by 6f and a sound surface; dropping back in trip looks a plus; continues to progress. Two 6f nursery wins then didn't quite see out 7f last time; firmly in calculations.

15:18 Pontefract (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Karl Burke landed the corresponding event in 2023 and he could do so once more courtesy of ALASKAN LIGHT. Victorious in a seller when last seen in June, the daughter of Kodiac enters nurseries from an opening mark of 74, which could prove lenient if taking the form of her debut second at face value. Visored for the first time, consistent colt Lucky Hero looks a player, as does recent Bath scorer Runamara, who will have no issue with forecast ground conditions.

The consistent LUCKY HERO has gone close in both nurseries and is taken to get off the mark in a first-time visor.

15:53 Pontefract (Class 4) 8f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (1/2 +58%) Gaspacho	0.5 1/2(+58%)	(8) Gaspacho 1/2, Outpaced and met trouble on promising debut when beaten 3 1/4l in a maiden over 7f at Haydock; top course jockey booked; wide draw; looks in need of 1m+ already; should improve for top yard. Good support before fifth (7f, good) on debut; type to take a good step forward up in trip.
2	6 2nd (6) (150/1 -50%) Norcross Brow	150 150/1(-50%)	(6) Norcross Brow 150/1, Outpaced on poor debut when well beaten in a novice at Thirsk on only start; likely to need more time. Drifted out to 200-1 before finishing tailed off at Thirsk (1m, good) four weeks ago.
3	2 3rd (2) (14/1 -100%) Just A Gambler	14 14/1(-100%)	(2) Just A Gambler 14/1, Too green to show anything when well beaten in a novice at Kempton on debut; trainer in form; may handle cut on breeding. 7-2 but tailed off on debut (AW) three weeks ago; will need to have learned a lot.
4	3 4th (3) (4/1 +27%) Grindleton	4 4/1(+27%)	(3) Grindleton 4/1, Met trouble and was never put into the race when beaten 9l in a novice at Kempton on debut; effective at 1m on AW, breeding suggests he may handle cut; should improve significantly with a clear run. Sixth (1m, AW) on debut three weeks ago; green and found trouble; can do better.
5th	4 5th (4) (125/1 -150%) Howsham	125 125/1(-150%)	(4) Howsham 125/1, Outpaced and below form when down in trip, finishing down the field in a maiden over 6f at Ripon last time; yet to show anything, beating only one home in two runs. Very modest form in two starts and will be more at home once handicapping.
6th	1 6th (1) (9/1 -50%) African Gib	9 9/1(-50%)	(1) African Gib 9/1, 31 Mar; Territories gelding; half-brother to Buxlow Boy, fair at 10f; dam moderate at 10f; tough enough task on debut. By Territories; yard had another winning newcomer this month; of interest on debut.
7th	7 7th (7) (16/1 -146%) Charlotte Corday	16 16/1(-146%)	(7) Charlotte Corday 16/1, 23 Feb; 20,000gns Cracksman filly; dam fair at 6f; from good yard; worth a market check. 20,000gns foal by Cracksman; yard's newcomers improve but interesting pedigree.
8th	9 8th (9) (18/1 -125%) Forever Perfect	18 18/1(-125%)	(9) Forever Perfect 18/1, Modest debut when well beaten in a novice at Haydock on only start; wide draw; bred to be suited by around 1m. Outpaced in seventh on debut (1m, good); not far away on RPRs and can likely do better.
9th	5 9th (5) (80/1 -400%) Karios	80 80/1(-400%)	(5) Karios 80/1, Outpaced on poor debut when well beaten in a novice at Kempton on only start; likely to need further than 1m. Fairly weak 16-1 shot when beating one home (1m, AW) three weeks ago.

15:53 Pontefract (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

GASPACHO, who cost 50,000gns as a yearling, was evidently expected to do better when she was sent off favourite for a maiden at Haydock on her debut. However, she ran green that day and created the impression that 7f wasn't quite a sufficient test. Stepping up to a mile now she has experience can see this daughter of Ghaiyyath in a much better light. Grindleton and Forever Perfect are also potential improvers, while Charlotte Corday is an interesting newcomer.

There's a strong suspicion GASPACHO can take a good step forward from her introduction this month and get off the mark.

1	7 1st (7) (10/11 +67%) Wave Rider	0.909091 10/11(+67%)	(7) Wave Rider 10/11, Ran to form when 7 1/2l third in a handicap at Ascot most recently; suited by 9/10f and acts on any ground; consistent performer on a fair mark. Solid last 3 handicaps; no disgrace in 7l defeat latest; likely to make his presence felt.
2	3 2nd (3) (7/2 -17%) Calla Lagoon	3.5 7/2(-17%)	(3) Calla Lagoon 7/2, Never got a run and was allowed to coast home when beaten 8l in a handicap at Goodwood last time; returns from a short break; effective at 10f and handles cut; highly tried, with a stiffer test of stamina possibly to suit. Mid-division at Glorious Goodwood (1m2f) but still of interest in just his second handicap.
3	1 3rd (1) (11/1 -22%) Mr Alan	11 11/1(-22%)	(1) Mr Alan 11/1, Needed the run when fourth, beaten 7 1/2l in a 12f handicap at Thirsk last time; trainer in form; effective at 10f and goes well with cut; generally consistent in Britain but has a poor strike rate. Not disgraced after 132-day break when 4th seven weeks ago; trip & likely ground no issue.
4	2 4th (2) (14/1 -100%) Chillingham	14 14/1(-100%)	(2) Chillingham 14/1, Raced too freely and made too much use of himself when beaten 4 1/4l in a 12f handicap at York last time; effective over 12f and acts on any ground; poor strike rate but capable off similar marks. Won C&D maiden in 2022; 1st start over 1m2f since; easy surface and mark both fine.
5th	9 5th (9) (25/1 -39%) Fox Journey	25 25/1(-39%)	(9) Fox Journey 25/1, Raced far too freely and finished down the field in a 12f handicap at Doncaster most recent; effective from 12-16f and acts on any ground; a little below form this season. Not convinced for this yard; dangerously handicapped if drop back in trip perks him up.
6th	6 6th (6) (17/2 -89%) Raulin	8.5 17/2(-89%)	(6) Raulin 17/2, Went clear with ease and won a Pontefract handicap by 7l off 81 last time, raised 2lb; didn't beat much but improved; has a top course jockey; progressive over 10f on sound surface and goes well here. On the march over C&D of late, winning last two; up 8lb but he's in gritty mood; player.
7th	8 7th (8) (16/1 -33%) Gunship	16 16/1(-33%)	(8) Gunship 16/1, Found little and needed the run when beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap at York last time; wears first-time blinkers; effective from 8-10f on good ground and all-weather; should improve from reappearance but current mark looks stiff. Weakened in June and again on return 18 days ago; blinkers tried and not one to give up on.
8th	4 8th (4) (33/1 -200%) Twirling	33 33/1(-200%)	(4) Twirling 33/1, Outpaced and looked in need of a stiffer test when beaten 7l in an 8f handicap at Ascot on flat return last time; second run since wind surgery; acts with cut and looks ready to step up from 1m. Encouragement when fifth (1m, good to soft) 19 days ago; may build on that; not ruled out.
9th	5 9th (5) (100/1 -100%) Contact	100 100/1(-100%)	(5) Contact 100/1, Needed the run when finishing down the field in a handicap at York most recently; had been in good form beforehand; effective from 10-12f and used to handle any ground; must prove ability remains after layoff. 80-1 and tailed off after huge absence 18 days ago; can only be watched.

16:28 Pontefract (Class 3) 10f Race Class Flow

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

After a brace of C&D wins, Raulin commands respect with his effectiveness at this venue not in doubt. However, WAVE RIDER has been very consistent of late and he may be the pick of the three-year-olds with drying ground in his favour. Twirling is the pick of the older horses despite having a stamina question to answer. Calla Lagoon is also notable running for a stable that won the 2020 edition of this race.

Three-year-olds have won the last two renewals of this historic handicap and RAULIN can complete a C&D hat-trick.

1	9 1st (9) (14/1 +22%) Solar Bentley	14 14/1(+22%)	(9) Solar Bentley 14/1, Made too much use of when finishing down the field in a handicap over 10f at Doncaster most recently. Best at 10f with plenty of give and mark looks about right. Weakened a long way from home on his return at Doncaster 11 days ago; questions now.
2	2 2nd (2) (3/1 -60%) Sonic Pioneer	3 3/1(-60%)	(2) Sonic Pioneer 3/1, Ran to form when stepping up in trip, suited by a positive ride to land a handicap by 4l off 70 over 10f at Beverley last time. Best over 8-9f and acts on a sound surface. Arrives in form. Career best when making all last Wednesday; the obvious starting point under a penalty.
3	1 3rd (1) (11/2 +31%) Kitsune Power	5.5 11/2(+31%)	(1) Kitsune Power 11/2, No obvious excuse when comfortably held in a handicap over 2m at Southwell last time. Trainer has a strong course record. Stays 14f and acts on any ground. In and out at present and needs a drop in grade. Placed in both starts over C&D in the summer; dropped 3lb below that mark; interesting.
4	5 4th (5) (5/4 +69%) Vulcan Way	1.25 5/4(+69%)	(5) Vulcan Way 5/4, Met trouble at a key stage but still ran to form when beaten 3/4l off 68 over 11f at Windsor last time. Appears suited by 12f and acts on good and all-weather. Still early days and steadily progressing. Rallying fourth in July (1m4f); good third 17 days ago; first success nearing; shortlist.
5th	6 5th (6) (11/1 -83%) Haliphon	11 11/1(-83%)	(6) Haliphon 11/1, Ran to current form when beaten a length off 61 at Leicester last time. Usually held up. Suited by 12f and acts on any ground. On a fair mark and hinting at a return to form, though slow starts remain an issue. Latest third (1m4f) was best effort since June; acts on most surfaces; form case made.
6th	4 6th (4) (28/1 -133%) Tequila	28 28/1(-133%)	(4) Tequila 28/1, No obvious excuse when finishing down the field in a handicap over 9f at Wolverhampton most recently. Trainer in form. Effective from 8f to 10f on soft and good to firm. Inconsistent of late. Maiden; backed but beat one home at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) three weeks ago.
7th	3 7th (3) (33/1 -136%) Greek Giant	33 33/1(-136%)	(3) Greek Giant 33/1, Needed the run when comfortably held in a handicap over 1m6f at Chelmsford last time, having been in good form beforehand. Effective from 12f to 16f and acts on soft, good to firm and all-weather. Needs to prove ability remains after layoff. Back from 469-day absence with a big defeat (1m6f, AW) a fortnight ago; market check.
8th	7 8th (7) (40/1 +0%) Solar Saving	40 40/1(+0%)	(7) Solar Saving 40/1, Never threatened when finishing down the field in a handicap over 11f at Windsor most recently. Showed promise in easy-ground maidens in Ireland but needs to prove ability remains after layoff. Ex-Irish maiden; mark in freefall but yet to get competitive in three starts for this yard.
9th	8 9th (8) (16/1 -220%) Very Muddy Waters	16 16/1(-220%)	(8) Very Muddy Waters 16/1, Back to form in first-time blinkers when beaten 2l off 67 over 9f at Carlisle last time. Effective at 8-9f and acts on soft and good. Mark probably stiff enough. Back to life in blinkers (1m1f) latest; new trip interesting; dangerous if aid works again.

17:05 Pontefract (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Sonic Pioneer carries a 6lb penalty after winning by nearly four lengths at Beverley last week, but he steps up to this trip for the first time and is not guaranteed to stay. KITSUNE POWER was beaten a long way at Southwell on his latest start, but he drops two grades here and has a C&D third off 3lb higher in July to his name. Tequila has a shot to make the frame.

It's well worth siding with 6yo KITSUNE POWER, who has gone well over C&D and looks to be on a handy mark.

1	13 1st (13) (14/1 +13%) Keep Warm	14 14/1(+13%)	(13) Keep Warm 14/1, Outpaced and unsuited by the drop in trip at a sharp track, down the field in a handicap at Chester most recent. Effective at 6-7f, acts on good but better with cut. In moderate form. Has become frustrating and never figured on Saturday; will be 2lb lower in future.
3	14 3rd (14) (85/40 +73%) City Captain	2.125 85/40(+73%)	(14) City Captain 85/40, Improved again when scoring by 1 1/4l off 63 at Hamilton three starts back. Below form off a revised mark, ninth beaten 4 1/2l off 71 last time. Has a top course jockey. Suited by 6f with give and acts on good. Progressive until latest. Won three of first four for this yard; form dipped 13 days ago but could well bounce back.
4	2 4th (2) (10/1 -100%) Havana Rum	10 10/1(-100%)	(2) Havana Rum 10/1, Came clear, arguably on the worst side, when scoring by 3 1/2l off 65 at Ripon penultimate start. Met trouble and unlucky second, beaten a neck off 74 last time. Wide draw. Suited by 6f and has come back to best. C&D winner; in fine form and massive run when unlucky second 28 days ago; utmost respect.
5th	6 5th (6) (18/1 -13%) Miss Hathaway	18 18/1(-13%)	(6) Miss Hathaway 18/1, Scored by a length off 69 at Nottingham in July. Below form when seventh, beaten 5l off 77 last time. From a top course trainer. Suited by 6f and a sound surface. In form until latest, handicapper may have caught up. Won C&D novice; close third (AW) two starts ago wasn't backed up last time, however.
6th	11 6th (11) (14/1 -75%) Cairdeas	14 14/1(-75%)	(11) Cairdeas 14/1, Ran to current form, did best of those coming from off the pace when beaten 1 1/2l off 74 at Ripon last time. Effective at 6-7f. Inconsistent but on a fair mark if building on latest. Low-key stable debut; much more like it when fourth (6f) last month; could build on that.
7th	5 7th (5) (12/1 +40%) Yes I'm Mali	12 12/1(+40%)	(5) Yes I'm Mali 12/1, Never threatened when beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Thirsk last time. Wears a visor for the first time. Effective on good and good to firm. In poor form but handicapper is relenting. Respectable 1st run back in June hasn't been built on; visor tried; slow ground a query.
8th	12 8th (12) (16/1 +0%) Wreck It Ryley	16 16/1(+0%)	(12) Wreck It Ryley 16/1, No obvious excuse when beaten 2 1/2l off 72 over 7f at Chelmsford last time. Effective at 6f on good and soft. Dropping in the weights but out of form lately. Won on April return (6f); not matched since but dipped below that mark; not ruled out.
9th	9 9th (9) (8/1 +0%) The Good Biscuit	8 8/1(+0%)	(9) The Good Biscuit 8/1, Did not get a clear run when scoring by a length off 68 here in July. Ran to form when fourth, beaten 4l off 72 last time. Wide draw. Suited by stiff 6f, acts on soft and good to firm. Likes a decent pace to aim at. Won over C&D (good) in July; back in form when fourth (7f) 19 days ago; acts on soft.
10th	7 10th (7) (18/1 +10%) Ocean Treaty	18 18/1(+10%)	(7) Ocean Treaty 18/1, Disappointing stable debut when comfortably held in a handicap over 7f at Sandown last time. Effective at 7f with cut in France. Mark looks stiff for new yard. Better than margin on yard debut (7f, soft) 13 days ago; 6f might help; watch the betting.
11th	4 11th (4) (20/1 -150%) Fierce	20 20/1(-150%)	(4) Fierce 20/1, Disappointing when stepped up in grade back in a handicap, beaten 4l at Southwell last time. Acts on any ground over 5-6f. Form is in and out. Won C&D handicap (good) in June; behind some of these (also 6f, AW) last time, though.
12th	10 12th (10) (20/1 -122%) Beale Street	20 20/1(-122%)	(10) Beale Street 20/1, Forced wide from a poor draw and failed to find much up the hill, beaten 9 1/2l in a 7f handicap at Carlisle last time. In good form prior. Probably best at 6f on a sound surface. In form until latest. 3 AW wins (6f); 0-10 on turf but 2 good efforts over 7f in July; disappointed last time.
13th	3 13th (3) (14/1 -133%) Scarboroughwarning	14 14/1(-133%)	(3) Scarboroughwarning 14/1, Ran to form when beaten 2 1/4l off 78 at Kempton last time. Effective at 6f and suited by easy ground. Current mark looks about right. No wins this year; handicapper probably in charge but maybe soft ground would help.
14th	1 14th (1) (7/1 -75%) Loving Apprentice	7 7/1(-75%)	(1) Loving Apprentice 7/1, Well treated at the weights when scoring by 5l off 71 at Lingfield three starts back. Ran to form when second, beaten a length off 80 last time. Trainer in form. Effective at 6f and acts on soft and good to soft ground; inconsistent. Has won over C&D (soft); easy win (6f) in July; solid over 5f latest; chance off same mark.
8	8 \|DQ\| (8) (25/1 +24%) Valentine Catcher	25 25/1(+24%)	(8) Valentine Catcher 25/1, Made too much use of, needed run when down the field in a handicap at Doncaster most recent. Cheekpieces first time. From a top course trainer. Effective at 6f and acts on any ground. Out of form in 2025.

17:38 Pontefract (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Havana Rum is consistent, having hit a top four finish on his last eight starts, but the handicapper has taken note and an added 3lb for a neck second at Southwell leaves him with more to do. Keep Warm has a good course record and is noted, but LOVING APPRENTICE is preferred. Second off this mark over 5f at Yarmouth most recently, she won easily over this distance at Lingfield in July and should have no issues with the softer ground.

Plenty to consider but HAVANA RUM (nap) is in the form of his life and can make amends for an unlucky second last time.

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.
