13:50 Pontefract Stakes (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to predict with certainty, but 0.83/1 (3) INDICATION CALL and 4.5/1 (2) DAN DEE PRINCE seem to have solid chances based on their recent performances and pedigree. 7/1 (6) ADAAY TO WIN and 5.5/1 (1) BILLY WEBSTER also have some potential, while the remaining horses may need to show more in the betting market to be considered strong contenders.

INDICATION CALL is the only runner here with any racecourse experience and as he was beaten less than a length on his latest outing at Beverley, we also know he has plenty of ability for a stable in good form. Of the newcomers, most appear bred to be better over further, with the possible exceptions of Kaaress and Adaay To Win, while Billy Lougnane claims 5lb off the back of Billy Webster, suggesting he is worth a market watch.

DAN DEE PRINCE catches the eye on paper so Tom Dascombe's newcomer is fancied to edge out recent Beverley second Indication Call, who may have to settle for the runner-up spot once more. George Scott's Billy Webster is another debutant who needs considering in a race where the market will reveal plenty.

The Karl Burke-trained INDICATION CALL takes on a field of newcomers and is taken to put his experience to good use.

14:25 Pontefract Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horse that has the best chance of doing well is 0.25/1 (4) CONCORDE, as it has recently improved and came second in its last race due to being eased prematurely. It is suggested that it can gain compensation off the same mark.

Concorde will likely prove popular here after winning at Redcar and being beaten a nose under a penalty when eased up close home at Chelmsford last Thursday, but two runs in such a short period may take it's toll. He has to give 7lb to another Redcar winner in CAMACHO STAR, who proved hard to pass last time and may tough it out again. Kohana Breeze tries blinkers instead of cheekpieces and has a chance if she can bounce back to her better form.

CONCORDE was a most unlucky second at Chelmsford City last time so is strongly fancied to resume winning ways off the same mark here. Camacho Star and Edmund Ironside fought out a good finish at Redcar and can chase home George Boughey's improving sort in that order.

Last Monday's easy Redcar winner CONCORDE was eased prematurely at Chelmsford three days later, and can return to winning ways.

15:00 Pontefract Handicap (Class 2) 10f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well, but some of the more interesting runners include 4/1 (6) SUN KING, 4.5/1 (1) ZEALOT, 5.5/1 (10) CUMULONIMBUS, and 6/1 (2) AJERO. All of these horses have recent form and potential to improve in this race. 16/1 (12) LIGHTENING COMPANY and 16/1 (13) WOOTTON'SUN are also potential contenders if they can perform well fresh. 20/1 (7) KENZAI WARRIOR should also be considered due to his recent form and potential to be well handicapped.

ZEALOT has now won seven of his last eight starts on the all-weather, the last three under Billy Loughnane, and it will be interesting to see if he can continue that run on turf, in better company, off a 3lb higher mark than last time. Tactically adaptable, he can make all or come from off the pace, and that may give him the edge over Goodwood third Ajero, who is having his first start of the season, and Wootton'sun, who is expected to appreciate the forecast good ground.

CUMULONIMBUS was steadily progressive in turf handicaps last autumn and might prove the answer to this tricky-looking handicap. Zealot is an obvious danger if able to transfer this winter's AW improvement to the grass. Kenzai Warrior, who is starting to look well handicapped, and George Boughey's Sun King are others who could go well.

Today's course and distance brought out the best in PIECEDERESISTANCE last year and he is taken to make a winning return to action.

15:35 Pontefract Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

4/1 (15) DO I DREAM seems to be the strongest contender based on their recent win and 3 lb rise, with 5/1 (14) TIPPERARY MOON also meriting consideration for their good third place finish in the same race as 4/1 (15) DO I DREAM. 7/1 (11) MY MATE TED also has potential for improvement after a break and being at a handy mark, while 8/1 (2) GLOBAL SPIRIT's respectable third place in their last race suggests they could also be a likely contender.

This represents a drop in class for MY MATE TED, who finished a disappointing eighth on his return off a break over this trip at Kempton earlier in the month. He sits on the same mark as when recording a half a length second at Windsor on his third-last outing and must have every chance if reproducing that effort. Ravenglass remains 4lb above his last winning mark but is still feared, while recent C&D winner Do I Dream adds further spice to the race.

Preference is for DO I DREAM, who scored for the second time over C&D earlier this month and remains on a fair mark. My Mate Ted and Global Spirit head the list of dangers.

Having not enjoyed the best of runs when third of 15 over C&D a fortnight ago, TIPPERARY MOON earns the vote. Ravenglass is feared.

16:10 Pontefract Handicap (Class 6) 22f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based on this summary. However, 3/1 (8) TARBAT NESS seems to have a good chance as they had an excellent second place in their last race and are clear of the rest of the field. They are also wearing cheekpieces for the first time and are significantly up in trip. 9/1 (5) DEREHAM is also worth considering as they won this race last year and are back on a winning mark. However, they were out of form last autumn, so there is some uncertainty. Others, such as 3.5/1 (2) VINTAGE VALLEY and 8.5/1 (7) TOMORROW'S ANGEL, have shown some promise but have not been consistently competitive.

TARBAT NESS steps up in trip following a good second over 2m at Redcar earlier this month and a 3lb rise looks unlikely to stop him. The gelded son of Reliable Man left the impression that he could benefit from a stiffer stamina test. Visite Officielle has dropped 2lb following a distant third behind the selection in the aforementioned race and is feared, while Vintage Valley also warrants respect.

With the Ben Haslam stable in good form the suggestion is DIDTHEYLEAVEUOUTTO, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. John Berry pair Tarbat Ness and Dereham, who won this race last year, may provide the main opposition.

John Berry won this last year with Dereham but TARBAT NESS could be the one today. Didtheyleaveuoutto is feared most.

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

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

Based on the summary, 0.83/1 (1) DEAR DAPHNE and 4.5/1 (3) QUANDARY seem to have the strongest claims. 0.83/1 (1) DEAR DAPHNE has been consistently close in her recent races and holds a solid standard, while 4.5/1 (3) QUANDARY comes from an in-form yard and has a promising pedigree. However, the other horses mentioned could also have potential and may surprise on debut or reappearance. The market check and betting could provide more insight into their chances.

Tellus and DEAR DAPHNE help to set a reasonable standard on official ratings, with preference for the latter given her proven match-fitness after a near-miss on the all-weather earlier this month. Newmarket raider Star Map appeals most from the newcomers, given she has a likable pedigree and is introduced at a realistic level. Quandary and Selby's Joy are others to monitor closely in the betting market.

DEAR DAPHNE probably should have won again on her return at Southwell and has solid claims with top apprentice Billy Loughnane up. Tellus probably has a race in her, while Quandary is an appealing newcomer for a red-hot stable.

Billy Loughnane's mount DEAR DAPHNE has gone very close the last twice and is taken to post a deserved first win.

17:15 Pontefract Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 2.25/1 (5) SQUEEZEBOX seems to have strong form and is an interesting debutant for a reputable yard, making them a potential contender to do well. 6.5/1 (3) REFUGE also has a good track record with three previous handicap wins at the same distance and venue, making them another possibility. 14/1 (6) SHOWALONG is also noted as being well handicapped but may do better second time out. The other horses have either had recent underwhelming performances or require more improvement to be considered a likely winner.

High Security and John Kirkup have both gone well here in the past and are worthy of consideration in an open sprint handicap. However, marginal preference is for the less exposed GANNON GLORY, who has shaped well on the all-weather since joining Richard Fahey. He reverts to turf on a competitive mark and, as he arrives in better form than most, the gelding has a solid chance of adding a second C&D success to his portfolio.

SQUEEZEBOX is interesting making his handicap debut for Mick Appleby and could be the way to go from stall 2. Gannon Glory won on his last visit to Pontefract this time last year and can go well back down in grade. Refuge is another to consider.

The lightly raced 4yo SQUEEZEBOX (nap) showed promise in Ireland and is taken to make a winning start for Mick Appleby.

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.
