1	9 1st (9) (11/2 -10%) Profiteer		5.5 11/2(-10%)																															(9) Profiteer 11/2, Winner at Thirsk (7f) in June. 5/1, creditable eighth of 13 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm) 18 days ago, unsuited by step up in trip and better than result. Interesting back over 5f. Disappointing last time but predominantly consistent otherwise this term.
2	1 2nd (1) (25/1 -56%) Yazaman		25 25/1(-56%)																															(1) Yazaman 25/1, 4 wins from 11 runs this year. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Redcar (5f, good, 28/1) 12 days ago, headway when stumbled under 2f out, no room final 1f, not recover. Completed his four-timer off lower marks in Class 6; had no luck last time.
3	12 3rd (12) (25/1 -56%) Mrs Trump		25 25/1(-56%)																															(12) Mrs Trump 25/1, 3 wins from 12 runs this year, latest at Redcar in August. 8/1, bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 11 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Cheekpieces back on. Has done all her winning in Class 6; not the percentage call.
4	8 4th (8) (11/4 +45%) Object		2.75 11/4(+45%)																															(8) Object 11/4, Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Catterick (5f, soft, 6/4) 5 days ago. Has generally remained in form since his soft-ground spring win; in the mix.
5th	4 5th (4) (9/2 +44%) Willolarupi		4.5 9/2(+44%)																															(4) Willolarupi 9/2, Winner at Beverley in August. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 19 days ago. One to note with Tudhope taking over. Off the mark at Beverley in August; has remained in form at same track since.
6th	7 6th (7) (10/1 -25%) Thornaby Pearl		10 10/1(-25%)																															(7) Thornaby Pearl 10/1, Disappointing fifth of 9 in handicap (well-backed 5/2) at Ripon (6f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Well treated if bouncing back in first-time visor. Quirky but has a good chance off current mark provided he takes to visor.
7th	6 7th (6) (7/1 +0%) Music Society		7 7/1(+0%)																															(6) Music Society 7/1, Course winner. Twenty five runs since last win in 2022. Creditable second of 9 in handicap (4/1) at Ripon (6f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Deserves a change of luck. Threatening to regain the winning thread; has possibilities off current mark.
8th	13 8th (13) (20/1 -43%) Without Flaw		20 20/1(-43%)																															(13) Without Flaw 20/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 8/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Well handicapped on best form but his drop to 5f is an unknown.
9th	10 9th (10) (8/1 -60%) Alafdhal		8 8/1(-60%)																															(10) Alafdhal 8/1, Successful 3 times this year, latest over C&D in April, and back in good heart of late, runner-up at Wolverhampton, over C&D (under this rider) and at Catterick (5f, soft) 5 days ago. Same mark and got to be considered. Won off 7lb higher over C&D in April; back in good form this autumn; respected.
10th	3 10th (3) (18/1 +10%) Woobay		18 18/1(+10%)																															(3) Woobay 18/1, Latest win at Ripon in July. Last of 9 in handicap (14/1) at Ripon (6f, soft) 9 days ago. Others preferred. Form has dipped since August and failed to beat a rival last time.
11th	14 11th (14) (18/1 +10%) Miss Rainbow		18 18/1(+10%)																															(14) Miss Rainbow 18/1, Modest maiden. 28/1, sixth of 15 in handicap at Redcar (7f, good) 12 days ago. Back down in trip. 3yo maiden whose placed form is over 6f; something to prove.
12th	2 12th (2) (40/1 -150%) Biographer		40 40/1(-150%)																															(2) Biographer 40/1, AW winner for previous yard. Below form seventh of 12 in handicap (25/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 33 days ago. Down another 2 lb. AW win on final start for previous yard; below that form for new stable.

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

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

A typically open sprint in which many will fancy their chances, and only a tentative vote can go to OBJECT. Fourth behind the reopposing Alafdhal (second) at Catterick last week, that performance is worth a slight upgrade given he raced alone with no cover for the entirety of the contest. The market clearly expected better that day and, from his low draw, the son of Aclaim could repay his supporters. Yazaman had excuses at Redcar and is no forlorn hope, while others to note include Music Society and Profiteer.

It could be worth chancing TRAVEL CANDY, who lurks on a very tempting mark after a quiet year and shaped with more promise at Redcar last time. Alafdhal, successful here in April and runner-up on his last 3 starts, including back over C&D, is an obvious contender. Willolarupi and Music Society complete the shortlist.

Based on his recent form and handy mark, ALAFDHAL has a good chance of recording a second C&D win. Object is second choice.

1	4 1st (4) (5/6 +44%) Sir Dinadan		0.833333 5/6(+44%)																															(4) Sir Dinadan 5/6, Promising type. Much better effort when second of 5 in novice at Haydock (8f, good, 16/1) 32 days ago. Up in trip. Will take the beating. Beat all bar the favourite in 1m contest at Haydock last time; leading contender.
2	3 2nd (3) (17/2 -113%) Novelista		8.5 17/2(-113%)																															(3) Novelista 17/2, Foaled March 11. €65,000 yearling, Lope De Vega colt. Dam, winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 1m winner) who stayed 14.5f, half-sister to smart winner up to 1¼m Elle Shadow. Third of 6 in maiden (6/1) at Goodwood (9.9f, heavy) on debut 12 days ago. Should have more to offer. Promising third over 1m2f at Goodwood; clear possibilities granted normal improvement.

Up in trip. Should progress. One of the main form contenders and he's bred to relish this step up in distance.
4	2 4th (2) (9/2 -13%) Double Meaning		4.5 9/2(-13%)																															(2) Double Meaning 9/2, Foaled March 16. Farhh gelding. Dam, 11.5f/1½m winner, half-sister to high-class 9.5f-13.5f winner (stayed 2m) Jakkalberry and very smart winner up to 11f Crackerjack King. Fifth of 9 in maiden at Newmarket (8f, good, 16/1) on debut 52 days ago. Up in trip. May well do better and this is easier. Modest fifth over 7f at Newmarket where he was the stable second string and easy to back.
5th	6 5th (6) (14/1 -75%) Tequila Star		14 14/1(-75%)																															(6) Tequila Star 14/1, Twice-raced maiden. 13/2, second of 7 in novice at Newbury (7f, soft) 16 days ago. Significantly up in trip. More needed. Something to find on his 7f efforts but shapes as if this longer trip will suit.
6th	5 6th (5) (40/1 -100%) Spirit Of Murray		40 40/1(-100%)																															(5) Spirit Of Murray 40/1, Once-raced maiden. 20/1, eighth of 9 in novice at York (7.9f, good to soft) on debut 29 days ago, slowly away. Up in trip. Soundly beaten in 1m event at York having folded tamely.
7th	1 7th (1) (200/1 -203%) Carlton Freddie		200 200/1(-203%)																															(1) Carlton Freddie 200/1, 125/1, seventh of 8 in novice at Thirsk (7f, good) on debut 21 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Well beaten in 7f event at Thirsk; may be more interesting in handicaps later on.

14:27 Pontefract Stakes (Class 2) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Charlie Appleby boasts an excellent 38 per cent strike-rate (17-45) when sending runners to Pontefract and, with that in mind, preference is for DOUBLE MEANING, who hinted at promise over 1m on debut at Newmarket. A step up in trip should suit the son of Farhh and it would come as no surprise were he to find the necessary improvement. Ralph Beckett keeps churning out the winners and Haydock runner-up Sir Dinadan merits the utmost respect. Way Of Stars is most appealing of the remainder.

SIR DINADAN improved a lot from his first run to his second and looks primed for success, Way of Stars is next best on form and has a bigger performance in him, while Novelista should step forward from debut.

Sir Dinadan and Way Of Stars are major contenders upped in trip, while NOVELISTA (narrowly preferred) is open to improvement.

1	1 1st (1) (5/2 +58%) Sea The Dream		2.5 5/2(+58%)																															(1) Sea The Dream 5/2, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Catterick in June. Creditable third of 7 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 10/1) 34 days ago. Strong at the finish there and can go well. Two 7f wins on turf this term; good third off this mark in 1m AW event last time.
2	2 2nd (2) (13/8 +35%) Retracement		1.625 13/8(+35%)																															(2) Retracement 13/8, Shaped well in a warm race on debut and duly landed the odds in weak C&D maiden 3 months later. Not disgraced at Goodwood (9.9f, good) 34 days ago and remains with potential now handicapping back in trip. Thrice-raced gelding who is interesting returned to the scene of his maiden win.
3	5 3rd (5) (9/2 +18%) Epidavros		4.5 9/2(+18%)																															(5) Epidavros 9/2, Further improvement when winning 9-runner handicap at Hamilton (9.2f, good, 9/2) 15 days ago. This is tougher still but she's proving likeable and can't be dismissed in hat-trick bid. Bids for a hat-trick; now upped in class but may improve further; respected.
4	3 4th (3) (9/1 -80%) Good Morning Alex		9 9/1(-80%)																															(3) Good Morning Alex 9/1, Has thrived in 2024, bringing up his fifth win of the year when making all at Hamilton in June. Shaped as if regaining full fitness in 2 starts following a short break, sixth of 13 in handicap at Haydock (8.2f) 30 days ago. Another for the shortlist. Form dipped the last twice but has a good chance if progress is resumed.
5th	4 5th (4) (20/1 -11%) Radiant Beauty		20 20/1(-11%)																															(4) Radiant Beauty 20/1, Placed on first 2 starts for Karl Burke and built on that promise when making a winning stable debut at Kempton (8f) in August. Well held in 2 handicaps since, tongue strap on for 1st time, eighth of 10 at Sandown (8f, good) 19 days ago. Others preferred. Towards the back in two starts since handicapping; something to prove.
6th	8 6th (8) (16/1 -146%) Paladin		16 16/1(-146%)																															(8) Paladin 16/1, Won at Haydock last summer over 7f. Off a year/gelded, good fourth of 9 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft) 13 days ago, again slowly away and keeping on without much room to open up on inner. Player if building on that. Soft-ground winner as a 2yo; ran creditably at Beverley on belated reappearance.
7th	7 7th (7) (20/1 -167%) Graecia		20 20/1(-167%)																															(7) Graecia 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Off 4 months, 25/1, good fourth of 9 in handicap at Epsom (8.5f, heavy) 25 days ago. May do better after that. Ran well at Epsom (handicap debut) last time; may do better still; one to consider.
8th	6 8th (6) (33/1 -106%) Angel Of England		33 33/1(-106%)																															(6) Angel Of England 33/1, Won at Nottingham at 2 yrs. Very good second of 7 in handicap (9/2) at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm) 65 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Edward Bethell. Been expensive to follow this season. Ran well last time but this is a better race; debut for new yard.
9th	9 9th (9) (40/1 -233%) Thats My Boy Luke		40 40/1(-233%)																															(9) Thats My Boy Luke 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 7/1, creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Hamilton (12.1f, good) 15 days ago. Must improve back up in class. Still an unexposed sort but has a bit to prove back down in distance.

15:02 Pontefract Handicap (Class 4) 8f  Race Class Flow

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

RETRACEMENT failed to see out 1m2f when carrying a penalty at Goodwood, but he won a maiden over C&D before that and a strong bid is anticipated from William Haggas' inmate now handicapping. Sea The Dream ran well for third at Southwell last time and will relish the testing conditions, as will Epidavros, who is attempting to land a hat-trick now raised a further 3lb after scoring at Hamilton. Graecia is open to improvement on only her second start in a handicap and is another to note.

Quite a few to be positive about in this 3-y-o handicap with GOOD MORNING ALEX taken to resume winning ways. He's had a tremendous year and should be spot on now from a couple of runs in useful contests after a mid-season break. Sea The Dream, Retracement and Paladin are other likely contenders.

The suggestion is SEA THE DREAM, who holds a solid chance returned to turf. Hat-trick seeker Epidavros is second choice.

1	6 1st (6) (17/2 -21%) Glory And Honour		8.5 17/2(-21%)																															(6) Glory And Honour 17/2, Fair Flat handicapper in 2023. Sold from David O'Meara £13,000 and winning hurdler/fairly useful handicap chaser for new yard, again not seen to best effect last time. Tempting mark back in this sphere and one to note. Best chase form suggests he's well treated back on the Flat.
2	7 2nd (7) (9/2 +50%) Hardy Bloke		4.5 9/2(+50%)																															(7) Hardy Bloke 9/2, Winning staying hurdler in Ireland for Emmet Mullins. Cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, creditable third of 6 in handicap (28/1) at Haydock (14f, heavy) 10 days ago. This could be right up his street. Some promise last time, shaping as if this stiffer test will suit.
3	9 3rd (9) (15/8 +69%) Surrey Force		1.875 15/8(+69%)																															(9) Surrey Force 15/8, Fair maiden who has been running well, third of 13 in handicap at Chester (14.4f, soft, 12/1) 16 days ago, nearest finish under this rider. Good chance he'll stay this much longer trip. Fine shout. In-form 3yo maiden; continues to move up gradually in distance; solid run last time.
4	1 4th (1) (3/1 +25%) Cinnodin		3 3/1(+25%)																															(1) Cinnodin 3/1, Good second of 13 in handicap (14/1) at Kempton (16f) 30 days ago, staying on well. Strong at the finish when third in this last year and probably set for another big run. Creditable third (off just 1lb lower) in this race last year; solid chance.
5th	5 5th (5) (11/1 -57%) Weddell Sea		11 11/1(-57%)																															(5) Weddell Sea 11/1, 20/1, second of 11 in handicap at this course (17.1f, good to firm) 18 days ago. That was his second good run here this term and he's not dismissed. Form for current yard includes two second-place finishes here; in the mix.
6th	3 6th (3) (12/1 -71%) Yorkindness		12 12/1(-71%)																															(3) Yorkindness 12/1, Course winner. 22/1, ninth of 11 in class 2 handicap at Newmarket (18f, good) 16 days ago. Good mark and usually goes well here so no surprise to see her bounce back with a big performance. Three-time Pontefract scorer; interesting off a workable mark back here.
7th	8 7th (8) (100/1 -300%) Gold Ring		100 100/1(-300%)																															(8) Gold Ring 100/1, Fifth of 8 in handicap (20/1) at Carlisle (17.2f, good to soft) 129 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Modest and inconsistent; 7lb out of weights; opposed.
8th	2 8th (2) (14/1 -460%) Justus		14 14/1(-460%)																															(2) Justus 14/1, Won Round 1 of this series over C&D in April and struck again in 6-runner handicap at Ripon (16f, heavy, 16/5) 163 days ago. Returns with yard quiet but he's clearly of interest. 2-2 this term, both wins in April, including over C&D; suited by soft/heavy.

15:37 Pontefract Handicap (Class 5) 18f Race Class Flow

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

JUSTUS ticks plenty of boxes having won on testing ground over C&D before scoring again at Ripon back in April. The six-year-old has gone well fresh in the past and Micky Hammond will likely have him primed for action on his return. Surrey Force lurks at the bottom of the handicap with scope for improvement over this marathon trip having placed at Chester last time. Soft ground is a worry for Weddell Sea so Yorkindness may prove a bigger threat back at this lower level.

A number to consider but staying handicaps could be the making of 3-y-o SURREY FORCE and he gets the vote after another promising run at Chester recently. Cinnodin is feared, with course-regular Yorkindness and Hardy Bloke a couple of the other players.

Upped further in trip and receiving plenty of weight from his elders, in-form 3yo SURREY FORCE could well open his account.

Opened her turf account in Thirsk event last month, having dictated the pace.
3	2 3rd (2) (5/1 +0%) Walsingham		5 5/1(+0%)																															(2) Walsingham 5/1, Fairly useful performer in Ireland for Dermot Weld who was returning from 13 months off when fourth in Redcar novice (7f) on debut for new connections 12 days ago. Should be straighter now and looks fairly treated on handicap bow. Still a maiden but is well treated on Irish form; second run for shrewd new connections.
4	4 4th (4) (11/1 -38%) Poet's Dawn		11 11/1(-38%)																															(4) Poet's Dawn 11/1, Latest win at Carlisle in August. 28/1, respectable sixth of 17 in handicap at York (10.2f, soft) 29 days ago. Back down in trip. Each-way claims. Retains a fair level of ability aged nine; hasn't defied this sort of mark for two years.

Rejoined yard after leaving Roger Fell & Sean Murray. Work to do. Losing run is mounting up but current mark is attractive; has rejoined Liam Bailey.
6th	5 6th (5) (15/2 +53%) Arkenstaar		7.5 15/2(+53%)																															(5) Arkenstaar 15/2, Seventh of 10 in handicap (18/1) at Redcar (10f, good to soft) 12 days ago, left poorly placed.

16:12 Pontefract Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

POET'S DAWN has to be forgiven a below-par effort at York, but looks worth another chance based on his convincing win at Carlisle in August. Tim Easterby's charge made every yard on the soft going on that occasion and looks set to go close again if allowed his own way at the head of affairs. Walsingham is expected to improve making his handicap debut on only his second start for David O'Meara's yard, while Style Of Life could also go well after scoring at Thirsk three weeks ago.

WALSINGHAM is in good hands and shaped as if needing the run on his yard debut at Redcar last month. He makes fair appeal on his first crack in handicap company. Style of Life and Urban Sprawl are feared most.

Having been beaten only narrowly by an unexposed 3yo last week, URBAN SPRAWL gets the vote. Arkenstaar is second choice.

Opening mark looks lenient, so strong claims if he goes on this slower ground. Looked promising type for handicaps when 6f winner at Chepstow (good); query about soft.
2	7 2nd (7) (4/1 +56%) Mister Sox		4 4/1(+56%)																															(7) Mister Sox 4/1, Latest win at Catterick in May. 14/1, respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at Haydock (6f, heavy) 9 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Can make presence felt. Acts well on soft and stays beyond 6f; probably needs an extra push from recent runs.

Better expected here. C&D winner; has won on soft; down the field in Bronze Cup latest; needs best form.

Enters calculations. Has C&D form; latest win over 5f here (soft) in July; yet to have an off day on this track.
5th	3 5th (3) (12/1 -33%) Roundhay Park		12 12/1(-33%)																															(3) Roundhay Park 12/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 28/1, respectable eighth of 24 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Others more persuasive. Won a division of this in 2022; 5lb lower than latest win in 2023; respected back here.
6th	2 6th (2) (9/1 -125%) Game Breaker		9 9/1(-125%)																															(2) Game Breaker 9/1, Capitalised on a falling mark at Hamilton (6f, soft) last month and followed up over same C&D 14 days ago. 5 lb higher now but is a must for the shortlist. Slipped down weights after some nondescript runs but won her last two, impressive latest.
7th	9 7th (9) (20/1 -67%) Havana Pursuit		20 20/1(-67%)																															(9) Havana Pursuit 20/1, C&D winner. 5/2, bit below form fourth of 9 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Warrants respect. Won C&D handicap as 3yo; looked on the track of another win last month; shade flat latest.
8th	6 8th (6) (50/1 -355%) Cash In		50 50/1(-355%)																															(6) Cash In 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 8 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good, 9/2). Off 110 days. Needs to bounce back. Promising on 3rd run; trailed in on handicap debut (soft) in June; off since; ground query.
9th	10 9th (10) (125/1 -400%) Electric Lightning		125 125/1(-400%)																															(10) Electric Lightning 125/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, eighth of 10 in novice at Newcastle (8f) 27 days ago. Down in trip. Looks on a stiff mark for handicap debut. Fair effort over 7f on Southwell AW on 2nd start; looks on highish mark now handicapping.
8	8 |U| (8) (8/1 +27%) Emily Post		8 8/1(+27%)																															(8) Emily Post 8/1, C&D winner. Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap (17/2) at Thirsk (7f, good) 21 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Needs a couple of these to falter. Well treated on the pick of C&D runs in 2023 but hard to claim she's in the same form now.

16:45 Pontefract Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Game Breaker successfully completed a Hamilton double on her most recent start and while she is in this sort of form, she is hard to ignore. However, the more appealing option is ALTMORE. The unexposed son of Showcasing beat a rival now rated 74 to shed his maiden tag at Chepstow last month and has plenty of scope for improvement, so he can defy his opening mark of 76. Emperor Caradoc is the pick of remainder.

GAME BREAKER is thriving at the moment and has already proven herself on slow ground. She can complete the hat-trick. Altmore and Emperor Caradoc look the likeliest dangers.

Altmore has obvious potential in handicaps but GAME BREAKER is a good alternative as she's looked in particularly good form of late.

1	1 1st (1) (13/8 +68%) Fine Interview		1.625 13/8(+68%)																															(1) Fine Interview 13/8, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Winner at Ffos Las in August. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to firm, 15/2) 51 days ago. Others preferred. Won 6f maiden on soft; didn't find a lot back in a handicap latest and left on same mark.
2	2 2nd (2) (25/1 -317%) Beauty Choice		25 25/1(-317%)																															(2) Beauty Choice 25/1, C&D winner who has been in good form this year, scoring twice and posting creditable third of 11 in handicap at Haydock (7f, good, 15/2) when last seen in May. Warrants respect on return to action. 1-1 over C&D (last October) and since won over 7f on heavy; respected but lacks recent run.
3	4 3rd (4) (10/3 +26%) Harry's Halo		3.333333 10/3(+26%)																															(4) Harry's Halo 10/3, Gained reward for consistency when taking Windsor handicap (6.1f) last month and posted solid third of 12 in handicap at Haydock (6f, heavy) since. Likely player. C&D winner; suited by slow surfaces and every chance on form of recent 3rd at Haydock.
4	3 4th (3) (7/1 -17%) Orbital Chime		7 7/1(-17%)																															(3) Orbital Chime 7/1, Matched season's best form when creditable third of 12 in handicap (12/1) at Epsom (7f, soft) 25 days ago. One of likelier contenders. Heavy-ground winner as 2yo; retains ability; worth another go at 6f; soft ground suits.
5th	6 5th (6) (20/1 -43%) Blufferonthebus		20 20/1(-43%)																															(6) Blufferonthebus 20/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 13 runs this year. Latest win at Beverley in July. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good, 15/2) 14 days ago. Others look better treated. Three wins this year include one over C&D on soft; needs improvement on recent runs.
6th	10 6th (10) (12/1 -50%) Canaria Queen		12 12/1(-50%)																															(10) Canaria Queen 12/1, Back on track when creditable third of 9 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to soft, 6/1) 9 days ago. This looks tougher, though. First handicap win at Wetherby in April; best effort since there in June; fair mark now.
7th	5 7th (5) (16/1 -357%) Wichahpi		16 16/1(-357%)																															(5) Wichahpi 16/1, Latest win at Carlisle in August. 7/2, creditable second of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good) 14 days ago. Should give another good account. On career-high mark since Carlisle win in August but reliable and acts well on soft.
8th	7 8th (7) (100/1 -614%) Wessex		100 100/1(-614%)																															(7) Wessex 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 100/1, seventh of 9 in novice at Redcar (7f, good) 12 days ago. Work to do on handicap debut. Showed ability on sole 2yo start; soundly beaten in 2 runs for new yard; handicap debut.
9th	8 9th (8) (11/1 -10%) Punchbowl Flyer		11 11/1(-10%)																															(8) Punchbowl Flyer 11/1, Took a step back in the right direction when fourth of 8 in handicap at this course (6f, good) 3 weeks ago. Can get competitive if building on that. On a long losing run but suited by soft and the handicapper has given him every chance.
10th	9 10th (9) (12/1 +14%) Alfie Boy		12 12/1(+14%)																															(9) Alfie Boy 12/1, Fared better than of late when respectable seventh of 15 in handicap at Redcar (7f, good) 12 days ago. Claims if building on that. Won over 7f on soft in May; no progress since but this is his first 6f handicap.

17:20 Pontefract Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Beauty Choice, who took a division of this race 12 months ago, has occupied third spot on each of his two outings since scoring at Catterick, including in a warmer event at Haydock last time, so he is one to take seriously. However, it may pay to side with ORBITAL CHIME, who produced a good effort to make the frame at Epsom and the handicapper might have been kind to drop him 1lb for that performance. Wichahpi is another to keep an eye on.

HARRY'S HALO wasn't ideally placed when third in a stronger contest at Haydock last time and gets the nod in an open-looking finale. Punchbowl Flyer and Beauty Choice can also make their presence felt.

C&D winner HARRY'S HALO makes most appeal after his staying-on third in a competitive race at Haydock recently.

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.
