13:58 Pontefract (Class 5) 6f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (9/2 -29%) Calafiori	4.5 9/2(-29%)	(2) Calafiori 9/2, Well backed and ran to form when beaten 2/4l off 72 over 5f at Bath last time. Ridden by a top course jockey and effective over 5/6f on any surface. Looks on a competitive mark. Successful in maiden on penultimate start but rather a frustrating sort otherwise.
2	9 2nd (9) (12/1 -71%) Gunalt Wavelength	12 12/1(-71%)	(9) Gunalt Wavelength 12/1, Ran to form when beaten 2l off 60 over 7f at Chester last time. Effective over 7f and acts on good to soft ground. A consistent sort. Form since handicapping includes a close second and creditable fourth, both over 7f.
3	8 3rd (8) (40/1 -43%) Crystal Aurora	40 40/1(-43%)	(8) Crystal Aurora 40/1, Produced a modest effort when dropped in trip on handicap debut, beaten 9/2l in a nursery here last time. Returns from a short break. Only worthwhile form has come over 7f on good ground and has plenty to prove after her last two runs. Always behind in C&D nursery when last seen three months ago.
4	5 4th (5) (8/1 -23%) Empress Olivia	8 8/1(-23%)	(5) Empress Olivia 8/1, Showed her ability on handicap debut when beaten 4l in a nursery at Redcar last time. Effective over 6f and acts on good to soft and good ground. Official mark appears about right. Ran respectably in similar event at Redcar, albeit without strictly building on Ripon win.
5th	10 5th (10) (16/1 -33%) Hares Bredth	16 16/1(-33%)	(10) Hares Bredth 16/1, Matched earlier form when beaten 8l in a novice over 5f at Redcar last time. From a top course trainer and wears a first-time tongue-tie. Effective at 6f on good ground but his form remains unreliable and difficult to assess. May be capable of improvement now handicapping in first-time tongue-tie.
6th	1 6th (1) (9/2 +31%) Dacres Cross	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(1) Dacres Cross 9/2, The yard has won two of the last five runnings of this race. Scored by 1/4l off 70 at Carlisle three starts back but made too much use of last time. Effective over 5/6f on a sound surface and possibly not the most resolute. Off the mark in Carlisle nursery in August; stiffer tasks since; returns to calmer waters.
7th	3 7th (3) (13/2 +28%) Ubetterseethis	6.5 13/2(+28%)	(3) Ubetterseethis 13/2, Scored by a neck off 71 over 7f at Chester in August but didn't act on soft ground last time. Has a wide draw and is suited by 7f, though may handle shorter on a sound surface. Workable mark if coping with drop in trip. Tad exposed but gained his only win off this mark in sole attempt in Class 5 nursery.
8th	7 8th (7) (12/1 +40%) Mister Moet	12 12/1(+40%)	(7) Mister Moet 12/1, Replicated his nursery debut form when beaten 6l over 7f at Haydock last time. Cheekpieces go on for the first time. Effective at 6f and acts on good to soft and good to firm ground. Can race too keenly and has shown erratic form. Has failed to back up the form of his success; change of headgear needs to help.
9th	6 9th (6) (7/2 +30%) Sporting Light	3.5 7/2(+30%)	(6) Sporting Light 7/2, The yard won this race last year. Scored by 3/4l off 66 over 7f at Wolverhampton on his penultimate start and ran close to form when not quite lasting home over 7f last time. Wide draw but consistent and effective over 6/7f on any surface. Had an excuse last time; largely consistent otherwise and looks reasonably solid.
10th	4 10th (4) (8/1 -78%) Ryefield	8 8/1(-78%)	(4) Ryefield 8/1, Produced his best effort when second, beaten 2/2l in a maiden here last time. Drawn wide but effective over 6f and acts on good to soft ground. Opening mark looks fair, though the form is open to interpretation. Gelded prior to showing improvement in C&D maiden last time on stable debut; possibilities.

13:58 Pontefract (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

UBETTERSEETHIS faced a stiff test in a class 2 event at Ayr last month and could take advantage of a significant drop in class. Still unexposed over this trip, the forecast going could help to bring his proven stamina into play. Empress Olivia's form has a solid profile and is a potential improver on just her second start in a nursery. The consistent Calafiori and handicap debutant Ryefield also command respect.

Provided his C&D maiden effort is backed up, RYEFIELD may be the answer. Solid Sporting Light is second choice.

1	10 1st (10) (4/1 +78%) Wrestling Revenue	4 4/1(+78%)	(10) Wrestling Revenue 4/1, Produced a poor effort down the field in a handicap at Beverley most recently. Suited by 5f, acts on any ground, but has lost form. Placed over C&D in April but has finished last in five other runs for this yard.
2	6 2nd (6) (11/1 -100%) Without Flaw	11 11/1(-100%)	(6) Without Flaw 11/1, Scored by a neck off 59 at Beverley in July but below form last time. Effective at 5f, acts on soft and good to firm ground, and has been in and out of late. Completed a quickfire double at Beverley in July; inconsistent form since.
3	8 3rd (8) (12/1 +25%) Woodhay Whisper	12 12/1(+25%)	(8) Woodhay Whisper 12/1, Ran to form after a poor start when beaten 2 1/4l off 60 at Southwell last time. Effective at 6f, needs a stiff test at 5f, but has very little measurable turf form. Raced mainly on AW but has frame possibilities if proving as effective back on turf.
4	12 4th (12) (11/1 +21%) Brazen Rascal	11 11/1(+21%)	(12) Brazen Rascal 11/1, Ran to form when dropping in trip, beaten 2l off 45 here last time. Has a wide draw; effective from 5f to 7f; remains a modest maiden. Maiden; ran creditably over C&D with cheekpieces fitted last time.
5th	1 5th (1) (6/1 +0%) Lucius Aurelius	6 6/1(+0%)	(1) Lucius Aurelius 6/1, Probably poorly drawn when beaten 9l in a handicap at Ayr last time. Effective at 5f or 6f, acts on soft and good to firm ground, and generally consistent. 3yo maiden; has lots of placed form; drops in grade with Jack Callan taking off 5lb.
6th	5 6th (5) (16/1 -45%) Digital	16 16/1(-45%)	(5) Digital 16/1, Ran to form on soft ground when beaten 4l off 65 at Hamilton last time. Suited by 5f, may not want fast ground but handles any other conditions; in fair form. Back in some sort of form; drops in grade off a stone below last winning mark.
7th	3 7th (3) (20/1 +9%) Solid Bond	20 20/1(+9%)	(3) Solid Bond 20/1, Made too much use of on easy ground and finished down the field in a handicap at Redcar most recently. Effective at 5f, acts on soft and good ground, but has a bit to prove after a poor run. Has bits of encouraging form but posted her worst effort last time.
8th	4 8th (4) (3/1 +0%) Flowstate	3 3/1(+0%)	(4) Flowstate 3/1, Scored by 1/2l off 61 over 6f at Catterick in August. Well backed and returned to form when second, beaten a length off 63 last time. Top course jockey; effective at 5f or 6f, acts on any ground, looks on a workable mark. Solid second at Ripon most recently; major player if coping with drop back to 5f.
9th	2 9th (2) (11/2 +45%) Hyperfocus	5.5 11/2(+45%)	(2) Hyperfocus 11/2, Yard won this last year. Ran to current form when beaten 5l in a 6f handicap at Chester last time. Top course trainer; effective at 5f or 6f, likes testing ground, but has regressed. Age seems to be catching up with him; drops to Class 6 for first time.
10th	7 10th (7) (14/1 -180%) Toptime	14 14/1(-180%)	(7) Toptime 14/1, Well backed, ran to form landing a handicap by a head off 56 at Nottingham last time; off a short-break; effective 5/6f, acts on any; in good form, mark stiff. Made all at Nottingham two months ago; has never gained back-to-back wins.
11th	11 11th (11) (22/1 -22%) Canaria Sun	22 22/1(-22%)	(11) Canaria Sun 22/1, Yard won this last year. Made too much use of on soft ground when 5 1/4l third in a 6f handicap at Carlisle last time. Top course trainer; wide draw; suited by 6f, acts on a sound surface; mark looks slightly high. Shapes as if this drop in trip will suit; bred to do better still; interesting.
12th	9 12th (9) (28/1 -180%) Solar Biricz	28 28/1(-180%)	(9) Solar Biricz 28/1, A bit below form on soft ground when beaten 3l off 60 at Doncaster last time. Has a wide draw; effective at 5f and may need a sound surface. Won off current mark at Doncaster in June; fighting chance on that form.

14:33 Pontefract (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

FLOWSTATE is versatile regarding ground and appeals strongly after a good second to a resurgent opponent at Ripon. Without Flaw is effective on a stiff course and can go well with conditions to suit. Hyperfocus also handles give underfoot and the veteran could be the pick of Tim Easterby's pair, running off 20lb below his last winning mark. Last-start Nottingham winner Toptime completes the shortlist.

Dropped in class with Jack Callan taking off a useful 5lb, the generally consistent LUCIUS AURELIUS may be able to open his account.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (15/2 +6%) Galilean Quality	7.5 15/2(+6%)	(2) Galilean Quality 15/2, Produced similar form to his debut when fourth, beaten 5 1/2l, in a novice over 7f at Ayr last time. Effective at 7/8f and handles soft and good ground; remains open to improvement. Has shown some ability over shorter trips but needs improvement.
2	5 2nd (5) (20/1 +0%) Starship Trooper	20 20/1(+0%)	(5) Starship Trooper 20/1, Showed greenness on debut when well beaten in a maiden over 9f at Yarmouth on his only start. The trainer is in form and he probably wants middle distances; expected to improve. Down the field at Yarmouth but may do better with the outing under his belt.
3	3 3rd (3) (5/6 +0%) Hell Yeah He Did	0.833333 5/6(+0%)	(3) Hell Yeah He Did 5/6, From the yard that won this last year and showed marked improvement from his debut when second, beaten 2 1/2l, in a novice over 8f at Salisbury last time. Effective at 1m, middle-distance bred and acts on soft; likely to progress further. Beat all bar the market leader at Salisbury last time, pair clear of subsequent scorer.
4	4 4th (4) (13/2 +54%) Sayedaati Saadati	6.5 13/2(+54%)	(4) Sayedaati Saadati 13/2, Appeared to stay and produced a fair effort up in trip when beaten 6 1/4l in a 10f maiden at Goodwood last time. Stays 10f and handles soft ground; should have more to offer. Shaped with some promise over 1m2f last time but needs another step forward.
5th	1 5th (1) (11/4 -83%) Lopeo	2.75 11/4(-83%)	(1) Lopeo 11/4, Outstayed the second when given a stiff test on heavy ground to win a maiden at Goodwood over 8f by 2 1/4l last time. Ridden by a top course jockey, effective at 1m, middle-distance bred and handles give; should improve for a stiffer test. Respected under 5lb penalty for Goodwood success, with further progress plausible.

15:08 Pontefract (Class 2) 10f Race Class Flow

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

HELL YEAH HE DID's second to an 88-rated opponent at Salisbury reads well and the son of Zarak is an attractive proposition now he steps up in distance. Rain shouldn't be much of an issue and another bold showing looks likely in a field of this size. Goodwood maiden winner Lopeo commands respect, although a penalty demands more of him. With that in mind, Galilean Quality could be a bigger danger if his stamina holds out now stepping up from 7f.

Being a strong form contender who represents last year's winning yard, HELL YEAH HE DID is preferred. Lopeo is the chief danger.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (11/8 +50%) Fine Interview	1.375 11/8(+50%)	(1) Fine Interview 11/8, Ran to form when finishing 2 1/2l third in a classified race over 7f at Ascot last time. Wears cheekpieces for the first time and is ridden by a top course jockey. Effective over 6–7f, prefers some give, untested on fast ground, in form and well handicapped. All wins on soft ground; consistent this term; possibilities if taking well to headgear.
2	9 2nd (9) (11/2 -10%) Irish Nectar	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(9) Irish Nectar 11/2, Ran to form when beaten 3 1/4l off 78 at Ayr last time. Suited by 6f and acts on both soft and good ground. Looks fairly treated. Ran encouragingly twice last month, latest in Ayr Bronze Cup; attractively treated.
3	8 3rd (8) (3/1 +40%) Trilby	3 3/1(+40%)	(8) Trilby 3/1, Ran to current form when beaten 3l off 77 at Haydock last time. Effective over 5–6f, acts on any ground but better with some give. Current handicap mark looks fair. Defied a 5lb higher in spring; placed at Haydock most recently; in the mix.
4	4 4th (4) (33/1 +0%) Orne	33 33/1(+0%)	(4) Orne 33/1, Below form when beaten 5 1/2l in a York handicap last time after a short break. Suited by 6f, prefers some give but probably handles good ground. Has regressed notably. Useful on his day but has lost his way, latterly for new stable.
5th	3 5th (3) (40/1 -122%) Baldomero	40 40/1(-122%)	(3) Baldomero 40/1, Ran close to form when beaten 5l in a 7f Doncaster handicap last time, at the limit of his stamina. Best suited by 5–6f and prefers plenty of cut, though acts on good. Inconsistent performer. Gained last two wins off current mark; fighting chance provided he's back in top form.
6th	10 6th (10) (15/2 +6%) Valentine Catcher	7.5 15/2(+6%)	(10) Valentine Catcher 15/2, Returned to form in cheekpieces when landing a handicap by a nose off 72 here last time. From a top course trainer, effective at 6f and acts on any surface. Needs to confirm revival in headgear. Resurgent in first-time cheekpieces over C&D latest start, finishing first past the post.
7th	5 7th (5) (28/1 -155%) Reigning Profit	28 28/1(-155%)	(5) Reigning Profit 28/1, Won by 3/4l off 81 over 5f here three starts ago but disappointed back on the all-weather last time. Effective at 5f and acts on any surface, though currently out of form. Record of 11211 over 5f at Pontefract; has never won at 6f.
8th	11 8th (11) (14/1 -56%) Keep Warm	14 14/1(-56%)	(11) Keep Warm 14/1, Ran to form when beaten a nose off 68 here last time over a stiff 6f, which suited. Effective at 6–7f, acts on good but best with some cut. Very fair mark. Took his C&D record to 1141 when getting the race in the stewards' room 11 days ago.
9th	6 9th (6) (14/1 -133%) Novello Lad	14 14/1(-133%)	(6) Novello Lad 14/1, Won by 1 1/2l off 68 at Nottingham in July and ran to form when second, beaten a neck off 77 last time. Effective at 6f, handles good ground, best on faster conditions and unproven on soft. Hard to predict. Two wins, including over C&D, this summer; ran well at Redcar last time; better than ever.
10th	7 10th (7) (40/1 -100%) Grant Wood	40 40/1(-100%)	(7) Grant Wood 40/1, Below par on easy ground when beaten 6 1/2l in a Haydock handicap last time. Effective at 6f, handles a sound surface and has some form on heavy. Now down to a mark reflecting recent modest form. On a winning mark but isn't solid on 2025 turf form.

15:43 Pontefract (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

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

FINE INTERVIEW has the burden of top weight, but conditions look ideal for the son of Havana Grey. His three victories have all been over this trip on soft ground, with one over C&D, so he ticks a lot of boxes and although only third over 7f at Ascot last month, connections try cheekpieces to help him focus. Keep Warm has won three times over track and trip and warrants respect, as does Thunder Blue, who arrives in good form and will have no issues with the ground.

Useful FINE INTERVIEW is 1-1 at Pontefract and could well defy top weight back here. Irish Nectar is second pick.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (11/2 -38%) Arkenstaar	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(8) Arkenstaar 11/2, Maintained good form when landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off 64 at Hamilton last time. Effective from 8f to 10f and acts on any going but best with some cut. Faces a tougher task now with a 5lb penalty. Good record at Hamilton has been enhanced recently; 0-21 elsewhere and carries 5lb penalty.
2	5 2nd (5) (5/1 -43%) Tele Red	5 5/1(-43%)	(5) Tele Red 5/1, Ran to form when beaten 1 1/2l off a mark of 70 at Haydock last time. Trainer in good form. Drawn wide but consistent and effective from 8f to 10f, acts on any going. Runner-up at Haydock most recently; remains well handicapped on peak form.
3	12 3rd (12) (40/1 -150%) Sunny Orange	40 40/1(-150%)	(12) Sunny Orange 40/1, Scored by 3/4l off 56 at Beverley in August but ran poorly last time. From a top course trainer. Effective over 7f to 8f, acts on any ground, and likes Beverley. Needs to rebound from that below-par run. Has recorded all handicap wins at Beverley; first attempt at Pontefract.
4	4 4th (4) (3/1 +57%) Kokanee	3 3/1(+57%)	(4) Kokanee 3/1, Went too quickly on soft ground when finishing 9l third in a 10f handicap at Sandown last time. Effective at 10f but may ideally want 12f; acts on good ground, not proven soft or fast; needs to bounce back. Raced over 1m2f this term but gives impression this return to 1m is worth exploring.
5th	7 5th (7) (8/1 -7%) Susie Sioux	8 8/1(-7%)	(7) Susie Sioux 8/1, Matched her novice form when second, beaten 2l, in a classified race at Doncaster last time. Effective over 7f to 8f, acts on good to soft, and looks fairly treated for this opening handicap. Unexposed 5yo mare; good second in both turf attempts, latest in Leger Legends race.
6th	3 6th (3) (7/2 +50%) Forest Caper	3.5 7/2(+50%)	(3) Forest Caper 7/2, Got too far back when beaten 6l in a 10f handicap at Doncaster last time. In good form prior to that run and now ridden by a top course jockey. Effective from 8f to 10f, acts on good to soft and good to firm, and may prefer a slightly stiffer test. Seven-race maiden; below par last time but consistent otherwise; may rebound.
7th	2 7th (2) (16/1 -60%) Sailthisshipalone	16 16/1(-60%)	(2) Sailthisshipalone 16/1, Produced a poor effort in cheekpieces when beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Chester last time. Effective from 7f to 8f and acts on any ground, though form has just tailed off recently. Record of 0-14 in handicaps but he is well treated on best efforts; drops in grade.
8th	10 8th (10) (6/1 +63%) Volenti	6 6/1(+63%)	(10) Volenti 6/1, Below form on soft ground when beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Carlisle last time. Effective at 1m and acts on good to soft and good to firm ground; remains on a competitive mark. Modest strike-rate on turf but beaten only half a length in both C&D attempts.
9th	1 9th (1) (33/1 -32%) Revich	33 33/1(-32%)	(1) Revich 33/1, Ran poorly for no clear reason when finishing down the field in a handicap at Ascot most recently. Suited by a mile and acts on any going but has something to prove after that disappointing run. On a two-year losing spell and isn't particularly solid on 2025 form for new yard.
10th	6 10th (6) (40/1 -186%) Phone Tag	40 40/1(-186%)	(6) Phone Tag 40/1, Ran poorly when finishing down the field in a handicap at Nottingham most recently. Returning from a break; effective from 8f to 10f and likely handles most goings but has something to prove on return. Successful off just 2lb lower over C&D on penultimate start; returns from a layoff.
11th	11 11th (11) (25/1 -108%) Jam Lass	25 25/1(-108%)	(11) Jam Lass 25/1, Easily best effort switched to turf when second beaten 6 1/2l in a maiden here latest; wide draw; effective 1m, acts on GS; opening mark could be very lenient. Appeared to improve with 125-1 second in C&D maiden last time (turf/stable debut).
12th	9 12th (9) (33/1 -175%) Thanks Angel	33 33/1(-175%)	(9) Thanks Angel 33/1, Ran to her usual level in a tongue-tie when beaten 5 1/2l in a 6f handicap at Hamilton last time. Drawn wide; effective at 7f, acts on soft and good to firm ground; consistent but on a stiff mark. Remains attractively treated on debut form; may show progress back up in trip; interesting.

16:15 Pontefract (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Jam Lass showed improvement on her first start for Peter Niven when second here and could go well on her handicap debut off a mark of 60. ARKENSTAAR looks the more sensible option, despite a 5lb penalty for last week's success on a similar surface, and he could win for the eighth time if he can repeat that away from his beloved Hamilton. Tele Red is also hard to ignore after his Haydock second, with the softer ground sure to suit.

Unexposed SUSIE SIOUX is threatening to win a turf contest and she is first choice ahead of Thanks Angel.

Unexposed 4yo who went close at Chester and is open to more progress over this longer trip.
2	2 2nd (2) (66/1 -100%) Ruler Legend	66 66/1(-100%)	(2) Ruler Legend 66/1, Needed the run when down the field in a 14f handicap at Chester last time; stays 12f but not proven over further; suited by soft conditions; a dual-purpose type currently out of form under both codes. On dangerous mark but was tailed off on stable debut at Chester (1m6f) last month.
3	1 3rd (1) (11/4 -129%) Dreams Adozen	2.75 11/4(-129%)	(1) Dreams Adozen 11/4, Scored by 2 1/4l off 71 at Musselburgh penultimate start; probably made too much use of last time; enjoys making it; stays well, acts on any; needs to get fractions right. Won Musselburgh Gold Cup on penultimate run and has claims if she can recapture that form.
4	5 4th (5) (9/4 +78%) Fabuleux Du Clos	2.25 9/4(+78%)	(5) Fabuleux Du Clos 9/4, Stayed on well when beaten 1 1/2l off 55 over 2m at Catterick last time; proven over the trip, acts on soft ground; looks fairly treated on current form. Rallied for second at Catterick (2m, soft) last week and he's respected off same mark.
5th	3 5th (3) (15/2 -150%) Diamand De Vindecy	7.5 15/2(-150%)	(3) Diamand De Vindecy 15/2, Ran to form beaten 3 1/2l off 69 over 2m at Ripon last time; usually held up; stays 2m2f and the further the better, acts on any apart from fast ground; in solid form, needs stiff test. Never dangerous in last two runs (2m) but last win was by 9l over C&D in April.

16:50 Pontefract (Class 5) 18f Race Class Flow

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

DREAMS ADOZEN struck over this trip at Musselburgh on only her second start for James Owen's yard. She found the competition too hot in the Cesarewitch Trial at Newmarket subsequently, but has strong claims at this much lower level and is taken to resume winning ways. Action Pact appreciated the step up to 2m when finishing a close third at Chester and that looks stronger form than Fabuleux Du Clos' recent second on the soft going at Catterick.

The vote goes to the unexposed 4yo ACTION PACT who went close at Chester last month and is open to more progress over this longer trip.

17:25 Pontefract (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

CITY CAPTAIN has won three times so far this season. The first of those victories came over C&D and, after finishing a resolute third back here last time, Harriet Bethell's progressive three-year-old looks up to going in again off his current mark. The rejuvenated Belsito landed a brace at Hamilton last month and will be hard to keep out of the finish now only 3lb higher. Missmimi returns to Pontefract with a shout having scored here on her penultimate outing.

Preference is for the well-drawn CITY CAPTAIN (nap), who has an excellent record here and goes well on soft ground.
