14:10 Pontefract Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

DANCING GYPSY failed to justify favouritism on his latest outing over C&D, but he still ran a race full of credit in third and he could improve for first-time cheekpieces to go two places better in this grade. Sameem could be thereabouts once more off a 1lb higher than when second at Hamilton last time, while Unplugged would be foolish to dismiss on the back of his success at Haydock.

Having looked an unlucky loser here in May, UNPLUGGED gained compensation with plenty to spare in a similar contest at Haydock 24 days ago and, with the drop back in trip holding no fears (previous C&D winner), he looks to hold sound claims from a 3 lb higher mark. Dancing Gypsy, Lenny's Spirit and Sameem head up the dangers.

The two runners who appeal most are UNPLUGGED and Dancing Gypsy in that order of preference.

14:40 Pontefract Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

EMERALDS PRIDE has filled the runner-up spot the last twice, with the latest of those efforts coming at Thirsk, and she is only asked to compete off a 1lb higher mark which may not be enough to stop the daughter of Pride Of Dubai from going one better. The main danger is Glendown, who was only denied by a nose into second at Redcar over 6f on his latest outing, while J R Cavagin isn't ruled out either.

GLENDOWN went agonisingly close to shedding the maiden tag when reeled in late in the day by one who had tumbled down the weights at Redcar 9 days ago and with the return to 5f holding no fears, he can deservedly open his account. The Paul Midgley pair J R Cavagin and Sherdil are others fancied to feature, with So Grateful also worth a look despite a tricky draw.

Class-dropper J R CAVAGIN is running into form and can take advantage of a handy mark. Glendown is second choice.

15:15 Pontefract Stakes (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

The Camden Colt had Twilight Romance (third) behind him when victorious at Haydock in May, but the latter is the less exposed of the two and could have more to offer, so may reverse that form. However, they could be fighting it out for second behind BARG, who couldn't have been more impressive on his latest outing at Ripon where he struck by five and a half lengths.

TWILIGHT ROMANCE confirmed debut promise and marked himself down as a useful sprinting juvenile when landing a York maiden in good style 16 days ago. The type to improve again, he earns the vote to follow up, with facile Ripon winner Barg rating the chief threat.

This is a tight race on the bare figures. BARG gets the percentage call, ahead of Twilight Romance.

15:50 Pontefract Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Only narrowly denied over an extended 1m3f at Yarmouth last month, ROGUE TORNADO can appreciate a marginally stiffer stamina test and is fancied to break his duck off 2lb higher. Tom Clover's inmate has scope to progress and is taken to get the better of Natacata, who steps up in trip following a distant sixth over 7f at Kempton last October. Cosmic View completes the shortlist.

ROGUE TORNADO shaped well on his Yarmouth handicap debut and has to be considered the one to beat unless the market vibes are notably strong surrounding the returning Sir Mark Prescott handicap newcomer Natacata.

A maiden handicap in all but name. Preference is for ROGUE TORNADO, with Natacata feared most.

Tropez Power has been knocking on the door of late and was not disgraced when finishing second over 1m1f at York last month. However, he previously suggested he wants further, so the unexposed OTTOMAN PRINCE gets the nod. Sir Mark Prescott's three-year-old made a pleasing return to action when scoring at Wolverhampton in May and, given his dam was Listed placed, he is taken to progress further on his turf and handicap bow. Last-time-out winner Cancan In The Rain is another to consider.

TROPEZ POWER's sole success on turf was as a 2-y-o but he has been knocking on the door of late and is taken to deservedly get his head back in front. It's likely that he will have most to fear from unexposed handicap debutant Ottoman Prince, who hails from an ultra-shrewd, in-form yard. Cancan In The Rain made it third time lucky for Charlie Johnston at Newmarket recently and also merits respect, along with Laser Guided.

The in-form GARDEN OASIS is taken to win his second race of the season. Ottoman Prince and Cancan In The Rain are feared most.

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

This represents a drop in class for GANNON GLORY, who finished a fair third over this trip at Hamilton on his most recent start. A combination of first-time cheekpieces and a 1lb lower mark can see him go very close. Fiscal Policy made a promising return to turf when filling the runner-up spot at Thirsk last month and is feared most off 2lb higher, while South Dakota Sioux is another to consider.

Plenty with chances in this big-field finale. Course specialist CORINTHIA KNIGHT ran his best race of the season when fourth back here last time and can strike for in-form Archie Watson. Last year's winner Late Arrival had an excuse last time and had been in form prior to that so he's second choice. Kath's Toyboy, South Dakota Sioux and Fiscal Policy are others with plenty to recommend them.

The vote goes to FISCAL POLICY (nap) who remains open to further improvement. Kath's Toyboy is second choice.

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.
