1	8 1st (8) (9/1 +10%) Mount King		9 9/1(+10%)																															(8) Mount King 9/1, Belatedly off the mark under an enterprising ride at Thirsk (1m) 2 starts back and again ran well whilst seemingly being undone by rise in weights/step up in grade when fifth in a C&D handicap 18 days ago.
2	9 2nd (9) (33/1 +0%) Tasever		33 33/1(+0%)																															(9) Tasever 33/1, In good heart in the spring but has found run of good form stalling in recent starts, weakening over 1f out when seventh of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, soft) 26 days ago. Others make greater appeal.
3	1 3rd (1) (5/1 +23%) Metahorse		5 5/1(+23%)																															(1) Metahorse 5/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 7 in handicap (3/1) at Beverley (7.4f, heavy) 13 days ago, not quicken only final 100 yds. Balance of his form suggests he'll give another good account returned to 1m.
4	2 4th (2) (4/1 +33%) Indiana Be		4 4/1(+33%)																															(2) Indiana Be 4/1, Latest win at Hamilton (8.3f) in July. Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 16/1) 18 days ago, possibly doing a bit too much too soon. Handy draw to adopt his customary front-running tactics and likely to give another good account.
5th	6 5th (6) (7/1 +13%) Create		7 7/1(+13%)																															(6) Create 7/1, Is something of a mix on pedigree but she got off the mark in good style on debut at Southwell (1m) in February and matched that back from 7 months off when second at that venue 33 days ago (despite being badly hampered). More to come now handicapping on turf.
6th	4 6th (4) (9/1 -125%) Eastern Charm		9 9/1(-125%)																															(4) Eastern Charm 9/1, Kodiac filly who has enjoyed a fine campaign, bagging fifth victory on trot (sixth in total) at Ripon (1m) last month. Hard to knock her latest Sandown third from career-high mark and she ought to remain competitive.
7th	5 7th (5) (9/2 -29%) Tobetso		4.5 9/2(-29%)																															(5) Tobetso 9/2, Winner at Brighton on final start for William Haggas and made a positive start for new connections, resuming winning ways at Ripon (1m) prior to a good fourth over that trip at Ayr 18 days ago, steady headway final 1f and keeping on. Claims again from handy draw.
8th	3 8th (3) (7/2 +46%) In These Shoes		3.5 7/2(+46%)																															(3) In These Shoes 7/2, Back to form when fourth at Wolverhampton (8.6f) on penultimate start and she backed that up when third of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (9f) 10 days ago. Drop in grade here rates a likely plus and she's operating from last winning mark.
9th	7 9th (7) (14/1 -17%) My Honey B		14 14/1(-17%)																															(7) My Honey B 14/1, Has steadily gone the right way this term, completing hat-trick at Nottingham (8.3f) in August. Creditable fourth from this mark behind Mount King at Thirsk (1m) early on last month and whilst she's a likeable sort, this does rate tougher.

LTO Selection:

15:00 Pontefract Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Several hold good chances in a competitive event, not least Metahorse, who is a battle-hardened campaigner and has been cut some slack by the handicapper. Darryll Holland's gelding is back on his last winning mark and rates as a big player from a handy draw. However, the vote goes to the less exposed TOBETSO, who has done nothing but improve since joining Declan Carroll and another big run is expected now he is proven over the trip. Mount King and My Honey B complete the shortlist.

Having made a solid start for Declan Carroll, there's a good chance TOBETSO will be suited by this stiffer track given how he shaped when fourth at Ayr 18 days ago and he could just be worth chancing to come out on top from a handy draw. Create is less exposed than most and she's feared on turf/handicap debut, with prolific-winner Eastern Charm another to consider in a wide-open affair.

The progressive EASTERN CHARM is taken to bounce back to form after a lesser run last time by beating Indiana Be and Tobetso.

1	2 1st (2) (7/2 +68%) Black Kalanisi		3.5 7/2(+68%)																															(2) Black Kalanisi 7/2, Versatile veteran who has confirmed he still has plenty to offer upon returning this term, creditable third of 7 in handicap at Haydock (14f, soft) 10 days ago, outpaced from 2f out and plugging on. Return to further likely in his favour here. 3lb lower than for last win and creditable third on soft ground last time; each-way chance.
2	9 2nd (9) (18/1 +28%) Bonne Vitesse		18 18/1(+28%)																															(9) Bonne Vitesse 18/1, Course winner. Latest win at Ripon in May. 12/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Catterick (15.9f, good to firm) 89 days ago, left behind early in the straight. Break needs to have perked her up. 2m soft-ground winner at Catterick in May but well beaten both starts since; hard to fancy.
3	3 3rd (3) (4/1 +0%) Cinnodin		4 4/1(+0%)																															(3) Cinnodin 4/1, Has had a good year, winning 4 handicaps at up to 2m, prior to a pair of solid in-the-frame efforts on turf/AW. Latest York fifth was a rather lacklustre display 16 days ago but he's not out of things dropping back down in grade. Two good runs on soft/heavy in the summer; well beaten last time but could bounce back.
4	6 4th (6) (15/8 +37%) Cold Henry		1.875 15/8(+37%)																															(6) Cold Henry 15/8, Ended last term with back-to-back victories at Catterick (2m) and largely consistent this season, respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at Nottingham (14f) despite finding the test inadequate. This rates much more suitable and worth considering from steadily easing mark. Won on soft in 2022; good second on faster ground over C&D in June; quite interesting.
5th	10 5th (10) (11/2 +27%) Dragonball Prince		5.5 11/2(+27%)																															(10) Dragonball Prince 11/2, Creditable second of 5 in handicap at this course (17.1f, good to soft, 9/2) 18 days ago, having run of race. Still, no reason why he won't go well again now upped further in trip. 0-12 but in good form with cheekpieces, last time finished 2nd over 2m1f here; contender.
6th	8 6th (8) (12/1 -50%) Spritzin'		12 12/1(-50%)																															(8) Spritzin' 12/1, Maiden who has improved in line with the longer trip in handicaps, not seen to best effect allowing for the sedate gallop when fourth of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford (14f) 18 days ago. Can't be ruled out now stamina is drawn out further. 0-7; second over 1m4f here in July but not progressed; first run at further than 1m6f.
7th	7 7th (7) (33/1 -65%) Dereham		33 33/1(-65%)																															(7) Dereham 33/1, Course winner. 25/1, last of 5 in handicap at this course (17.1f, good to soft) 18 days ago, left behind final 1f. Bounce back not ruled out but worth noting she's yet to defy a mark this high. Patchy form this term but has a chance on his Newmarket win in June; not so good latest.
8th	5 8th (5) (11/1 +45%) Kalamity Kitty		11 11/1(+45%)																															(5) Kalamity Kitty 11/1, Successful all 3 starts at up to 2m early last year but not kicked on from an encouraging reappearance run this term and would need to see more before becoming of interest. 3-3 in 2022, but disappointing on last three starts; others make more appeal.
9th	1 9th (1) (66/1 -164%) Mukha Magic		66 66/1(-164%)																															(1) Mukha Magic 66/1, Latest win at Chelmsford (2M) in June. 18/1, fifth of 6 in handicap at Ripon (16f, soft) 9 days ago, left behind under 2f out. Usual blinkers replace visor here but others make more appeal. Won for 11th time when scoring on AW last month; lesser runs since; soft ground a concern.

LTO Selection:

15:30 Pontefract Handicap (Class 5) 18f Race Class Flow

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

HEDONISTA gained a second success of the season when appearing to win with something in hand at Kempton last month and Ed Walker's filly could shrug off a 4lb rise on the switch to turf. Fellow three-year-old Dragonball Prince has posted some creditable efforts in defeat of late and could give the selection most to think about, ahead of the veteran Black Kalanisi, who has dropped to an attractive mark.

COLD HENRY quickly got back on track despite finding the test inadequate when fifth at Nottingham (14f) on his latest outing 2 weeks ago and, back at this more suitable trip, he shades the vote to come out on top. Kempton-scorer Hedonista and Dragonball Prince head up the dangers, with Spritzin' another worth keeping an eye on.

Despite a poor run last time the choice is CINNODIN, who stays well and is suited by soft ground. Dragonball Prince is next best.

1	2 1st (2) (9/2 +63%) Hiromichi		4.5 9/2(+63%)																															(2) Hiromichi 9/2, Latest win at Bath in May. 8/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 13 days ago. Rider had a treble at the last meeting here and has won on him before. Bit of a mixed bag since winning at Bath in May; more needed.
2	9 2nd (9) (6/1 +33%) Global Spirit		6 6/1(+33%)																															(9) Global Spirit 6/1, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win here in September. Bit below form fourth of 8 in handicap (5/1) at Hamilton (9.2f, good to soft) 14 days ago. 3-6 over C&D and possible to forgive latest effort; much respected back here.
3	11 3rd (11) (5/1 +29%) Golden Melody		5 5/1(+29%)																															(11) Golden Melody 5/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. 4/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Losing run mounting up, but running well since the summer and is fairly treated.
4	5 4th (5) (15/2 +38%) Phoenix Fire		7.5 15/2(+38%)																															(5) Phoenix Fire 15/2, Novice winner on the mud on final 2-y-o start. Good fourth of 12 in handicap (33/1) at Ayr (7.2f, good) 16 days ago. Could go well. Running well in handicaps this year and each-way claims down another 1lb.
5th	1 5th (1) (11/1 -10%) Cosmos Raj		11 11/1(-10%)																															(1) Cosmos Raj 11/1, Latest win at Ripon in July. Creditable second of 13 in handicap (9/2) at Ayr (8f, good to soft) 17 days ago, just failing. In fine form and still well weighted after 2 lb rise. 2lb higher then when just beaten at Ayr last month, but still a player.
6th	17 6th (17) (33/1 -32%) Do I Dream		33 33/1(-32%)																															(17) Do I Dream 33/1, C&D winner. 5/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Carlisle (7.8f, soft) 26 days ago. Bit to find in this company. Dual C&D winner; frame possibilities if back to her best, but is dawn wide..
7th	4 7th (4) (20/1 -67%) Casilli		20 20/1(-67%)																															(4) Casilli 20/1, Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Redcar (10f, good to firm, 5/1) 12 days ago. Could make presence felt. Beverley specialist who may find this trip too sharp for her now and is drawn wide.
8th	13 8th (13) (16/1 +36%) Loddon		16 16/1(+36%)																															(13) Loddon 16/1, Fair maiden. 16/1, first run since leaving Ed Walker when creditable second of 7 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, heavy) 19 days ago. Others more persuasive. 0-7 but has shown ability; shouldn't have an issue with return to 1m and could go well.
9th	16 9th (16) (25/1 +11%) No Barrier		25 25/1(+11%)																															(16) No Barrier 25/1, Fair maiden. Twelfth of 13 in handicap (12/1) at Ayr (8f, good to soft) 17 days ago, not clear run. Must improve. Twice runner-up in the summer but well held last two starts and now 0-13; others preferred.
10th	3 10th (3) (8/1 -14%) Ey Up Its The Boss		8 8/1(-14%)																															(3) Ey Up Its The Boss 8/1, Latest win at Thirsk in August. Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to firm, 10/1) 11 days ago, not clear run over 2f out, keeping on and much better than the result. Down 2 lb in easier race and can go well. Unfortunate last time; handles soft ground, but best form has come on good/good to firm.
11th	7 11th (7) (10/1 +38%) Albegrey		10 10/1(+38%)																															(7) Albegrey 10/1, Latest win at Carlisle in June. 15/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable sixth of 12 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Not taken lightly. Edging back down the weights and not beaten far last time, but still more needed.
12th	12 12th (12) (7/1 +13%) Powerful Response		7 7/1(+13%)																															(12) Powerful Response 7/1, Supplemented his Newcastle success at Hamilton in July. Creditable second of 11 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good, 10/3) 20 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time which could help (has looked quirky). Won twice in the summer and has run well since; stiff finish should suit; cheekpieces on.
13th	8 13th (8) (50/1 -79%) Khathak		50 50/1(-79%)																															(8) Khathak 50/1, Temperamental sort. 11/1, creditable third of 7 in seller at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 94 days ago. Work to do. Become disappointing; plenty to prove after another three months off; has outside stall.
14th	15 14th (15) (28/1 +0%) Sezaam		28 28/1(+0%)																															(15) Sezaam 28/1, Good third of 8 in handicap at Carlisle (7.8f, soft, 12/1) 26 days ago, bit laboured and nearest finish. Cheekpieces back on. Close third on return from an absence at Carlisle last month; each-way claims.
15th	14 15th (14) (20/1 -43%) Operation Gimcrack		20 20/1(-43%)																															(14) Operation Gimcrack 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1, second of 7 in minor event at Thirsk (8f, heavy) 65 days ago, no match for winner who ran to a rating of 105. Can take a big leap forward now handicapping. Makes handicap debut after two months off and open to improvement, but it will be needed.
16th	10 16th (10) (80/1 -100%) Sycamore		80 80/1(-100%)																															(10) Sycamore 80/1, 66/1, good second of 13 in handicap at Southwell (7f) in December but he hasn't been seen since. A watching brief is the percentage call after the lay-off. Off ten months and best watched unless market suggests otherwise.

16:00 Pontefract Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Dual winner POWERFUL RESPONSE has displayed enough promise of late to suggest that he can land another contest before the season ends, with first-time cheekpieces likely to eke out some extra improvement. Cosmos Raj posted one of his better performances when just touched off at Ayr and also merits consideration off only 2lb higher. Loddon and Golden Melody are a couple of others to note in an open event.

Plenty to consider in this big-field handicap, with EY UP ITS THE BOSS getting the vote after an eye-catching effort at Newmarket. He was keeping on all the time there and would've made the frame at least with a clear passage. Down 2 lb/in grade, he could be set for a big run. Romilda and Operation Gimcrack are a couple of unexposed 3-y-os who make plenty of appeal now handicapping. Hiromichi and Cosmos Raj also make the shortlist.

This can go to ROMILDA who is taken to make a successful handicap debut. Her latest effort is working out well.

1	5 1st (5) (7/4 -40%) Safety Catch		1.75 7/4(-40%)																															(5) Safety Catch 7/4, Made no impression at Newmarket sole start at 2 yrs but proved a different proposition when second of 7 in a Leicester maiden (10f) on return to action 2 weeks ago. That experience ought to bring her on further and this longer trip promises to be within range. Highly respected.
2	4 2nd (4) (9/4 -13%) Lord Melbourne		2.25 9/4(-13%)																															(4) Lord Melbourne 9/4, €270,000 yearling, Wootton Bassett gelding. Dam, French 1¼m-1½m winner, half-sister to useful 1m winner (stayed 1¼m) Lamu. 11/2, promising third of 8 at Salisbury (9.9f, good to firm) on debut 24 days ago. Player with progress anticipated.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/4 +44%) Lope De Light		2.25 9/4(+44%)																															(3) Lope De Light 9/4, Thrice-raced colt. 13/8, matched previous form when second of 5 in minor event at Beverley (9.9f, heavy) 19 days ago, headed under 2f out and rallying. This longer trip worth exploring on that evidence.
4	1 4th (1) (8/1 +27%) Cahersiveen		8 8/1(+27%)																															(1) Cahersiveen 8/1, Twice-raced gelding. 80/1, stepped up on debut form when fifth of 12 in maiden at Cork (12f, good to soft) 40 days ago, pushed along 4f out and keeping on. Likely he can do better again for new yard, including when tackling 1¾m.

16:30 Pontefract Maiden (Class 3) 12f Race Class Flow

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

SAFETY CATCH found plenty of improvement for the step up in trip when runner-up over 1m2f at Leicester a fortnight ago and the extra two furlongs here may be enough for William Haggas' filly to gain a breakthrough success. Lord Melbourne likely has more to offer having posted a respectable third-placed finish on his debut at Salisbury. The son of Wootton Bassett may emerge as the chief threat, although Lope De Light shouldn't be far behind.

LORD MELBOURNE produced a promising debut effort despite displaying signs of greenness when third in a Salisbury novice (9.9f) 24 days ago and he shades the vote to build on that now stepping up in trip. Safety Catch, a good second at Leicester on her reappearance 2 weeks ago, and Lope de Light head up the dangers, in that order.

The Crisfords' LORD MELBOURNE, who was green on debut but performed encouragingly, just gets the vote over Safety Catch.

1	8 1st (8) (13/2 -44%) Beauty Choice		6.5 13/2(-44%)																															(8) Beauty Choice 13/2, Turned in his best effort of the season from easing mark when second in 14-runner handicap at Southwell (6.1f) on penultimate start. Not far off that level when third at Chester (7f, soft) latest and he's worth a second look with the drop back to 6f holding no fears. Needs to improve on his last two turf starts either side of a good AW run to be involved.
2	10 2nd (10) (5/1 +33%) Onemorenomore		5 5/1(+33%)																															(10) Onemorenomore 5/1, More encouraging signs equipped with blinkers in recent weeks and well served by drop to sprinting when off the mark at Doncaster (5.6f) 3 weeks ago, staying on to lead line. This stiff finish will suit on that evidence and possibilities again. Up 3lb for Doncaster win but stamina could prove useful over this track and trip.
3	6 3rd (6) (9/1 +18%) King Of Tonga		9 9/1(+18%)																															(6) King Of Tonga 9/1, Course winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 22/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Chester (7f, heavy) 9 days ago. Others more persuasive. Went close again here in August but below par since; not written off but revival needed.
4	3 4th (3) (8/1 +0%) King's Crown		8 8/1(+0%)																															(3) King's Crown 8/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 8 in handicap (14/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 11 days ago, keeping on. Has come down plenty in the weights if he can build on that here. Tried to make all when third over C&D (good to soft) latest; drops 1lb; not ruled out.
5th	4 5th (4) (14/1 +36%) Impeller		14 14/1(+36%)																															(4) Impeller 14/1, Good second over C&D in July and confirmed return to form when going one place better at Carlisle (5.8f) later that month. Latest Redcar effort was a disappointing one 20 days ago but no surprise to see a better showing here. Drops 1lb and if forgiven his latest effort he has the ability to get involved.
6th	5 6th (5) (6/1 -33%) Havana Pursuit		6 6/1(-33%)																															(5) Havana Pursuit 6/1, Havana Grey gelding who got back on the up to record a second career success in 10-runner C&D handicap 18 days ago, by neck from Derwent Boy. Remains lightly raced and 3 lb rise shouldn't prevent him going well again. Won a 0-70 over C&D (good to soft) latest; up 3lb and slightly in grade; contender.
7th	1 7th (1) (7/1 +30%) Little Muddy		7 7/1(+30%)																															(1) Little Muddy 7/1, Successful on 2 of first 3 starts this season and ran right up to best when runner-up at Nottingham (6f) on penultimate start. Latest run in Ayr Bronze Cup best overlooked (raced alone near side) and better showing anticipated here from handy draw. Competitive mark and could be involved if she can shake off her latest run.
8th	2 8th (2) (13/2 +0%) Tellus		6.5 13/2(+0%)																															(2) Tellus 13/2, Landed a C&D novice on return in April and stepped up further to follow up on handicap bow at Ayr (7.2f) in May. Not scaled same heights since though, albeit not seen to best effect when eighth of 12 in handicap at Chester (6.1f, soft) 24 days ago. Unable to get close to winning form in four starts but she's not written off back here.
9th	11 9th (11) (20/1 -25%) Round The Island		20 20/1(-25%)																															(11) Round The Island 20/1, 7-time C&D winner who went close to ending losing run at Catterick (7f) in July. However, below that form all 3 starts since, no extra inside final 1f when 3¼ lengths sixth of 10 to Havana Pursuit over C&D 18 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Bit to find with a couple of today's opponents based on their running here last time.
10th	7 10th (7) (6/1 -9%) Derwent Boy		6 6/1(-9%)																															(7) Derwent Boy 6/1, 11/2 and visored for 1st time, good neck second of 10 to Havana Pursuit in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 18 days ago, headed close home. 1 lb better off with that rival now and claims given he's less exposed than most he meets here. 1lb better off for a neck with Havana Pursuit and has the scope to do better; player.

LTO Selection:

17:05 Pontefract Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

The key to this looks to be the recent clash over C&D between Havana Pursuit (first) and DERWENT BOY (second), with the latter taken to come out on top this time around. The son of Harry Angel has been raised 2lb, but he looks primed to break the maiden at the seventh time of asking. Tellus has dropped down to 1lb below her last winning mark and must enter calculations, along with Beauty Choice.

ONEMORENOMORE relished the drop to sprinting when opening his account at Doncaster (5.6f) 3 weeks ago and, with the slightly longer trip here entitled to suit on that evidence, he gets the narrow vote to follow up with Tom Marquand an eye-catching booking. Beauty Choice is lurking on a handy mark and feared, with Derwent Boy and Havana Pursuit just another couple to consider.

The well-drawn RUSSCO is on a very handy mark, won't mind the conditions and is a sporting suggestion in a first-time hood.

1	8 1st (8) (4/1 +33%) Sir Maxi		4 4/1(+33%)																															(8) Sir Maxi 4/1, C&D winner in July. 14/1, bit below form fourth of 20 in Bronze Cup at Ayr (6f, good to soft) 17 days ago, rallying. Goes well here and couldn't be dismissed. C&D winner this summer; returns after good run at Ayr last month; likely contender.
2	9 2nd (9) (22/1 -38%) Trilby		22 22/1(-38%)																															(9) Trilby 22/1, Modest maiden. Sixth of 8 in handicap (66/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 11 days ago. Not beaten far on either stable start; market support will bring him into the equation.
3	4 3rd (4) (7/1 -56%) The Dunkirk Lads		7 7/1(-56%)																															(4) The Dunkirk Lads 7/1, 17/2, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 11 days ago. Slow starter and others make more appeal. Fourth over C&D recently; player if this race is run to suit usual patient tactics.
4	3 4th (3) (9/1 +18%) Catch Cunningham		9 9/1(+18%)																															(3) Catch Cunningham 9/1, Respectable sixth of 20 in Bronze Cup at Ayr (6f, good to soft, 33/1) 17 days ago. Down 2 lb/in class. Not at best this season; closely matched with Ghathanfar on recent Ayr form.
5th	2 5th (2) (11/2 +15%) Ghathanfar		5.5 11/2(+15%)																															(2) Ghathanfar 11/2, C&D winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. Below form fifth of 20 in Bronze Cup at Ayr (6f, good to soft, 14/1) 17 days ago. Big drop in class after last 2 starts and weighted to strike. Generally disappointing this season but ran quite well in Ayr Bronze Cup last month.
6th	5 6th (5) (17/2 +58%) Happier		8.5 17/2(+58%)																															(5) Happier 17/2, Winner at Redcar in May. Blinkered for 1st time, last of 6 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to firm, 9/2) 34 days ago, slowly away. No significant progress since maiden win in May but a stiff 6f seems to suit her well.
7th	1 7th (1) (10/3 -33%) Heartrate		3.333333 10/3(-33%)																															(1) Heartrate 10/3, Career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Ffos Las (6f, good to soft, 13/2) on first run for yard 25 days ago. Prominent racer who seems sure to go well again up 6 lb. Convincing winner at Ffos Las on last month's stable debut and has the inside draw here.
8th	10 8th (10) (6/1 +45%) Run This Way		6 6/1(+45%)																															(10) Run This Way 6/1, C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Off 8 weeks, bit below form fifth of 15 in handicap (11/1) at Thirsk (7f, soft) 21 days ago. Ran well when heavily-gambled on and third behind Sir Maxi over C&D in the summer. One to note. Not at best lately but was placed off 3lb higher over C&D in the summer; can't rule out.
9th	6 9th (6) (12/1 -100%) Thornaby Pearl		12 12/1(-100%)																															(6) Thornaby Pearl 12/1, Career-best effort when making all at Ripon in July. Not so good since, although has fallen in the weights and it's easy to see him make a bold bid from the front under 7 lb claimer who has had a good year. Easy winner on soft ground in July; outside draw and drying ground both negatives here.
10th	7 10th (7) (50/1 -52%) Jill Rose		50 50/1(-52%)																															(7) Jill Rose 50/1, 28/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 33 days ago. Not easy to make a case for at present. Ran poorly on AW last month and the ground may not be soft enough for her here.

17:40 Pontefract Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

This can go the way of SIR MAXI, who ran a highly creditable race for fourth in the Ayr Bronze Cup and should appreciate a return to this track, having won on two of his four starts here. Richard Fahey's charge is preferred to Ghathanfar and Heartrate, who arrives on a hat-trick as he makes just his second start for new connections. Catch Cunningham and Thornaby Pearl can also have a say in proceedings.

THORNABY PEARL has slipped in the weights and could be worth backing under Mia Nicholls. Heartrate has every chance in his hat-trick bid, while very well-handicapped C&D-winner Ghathanfar is also of firm interest down in class.

With this stiffer track likely to suit, HEARTRATE (nap) can follow up last month's emphatic Ffos Las win.

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.
