The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(1) Can To Can 3.5/1, Out of half-sister to high-class sprinter Profitable and showed something to work on when fifth in 5f minor event at York on debut, weakening final furlong after racing freely. Entitled to progress.
2
2nd (2) (5.5/1 +39%) Granny B
5.5
5.5/1(+39%)
(2) Granny B 5.5/1, Progressed from debut when fifth in 7f Haydock minor event last time and could make the frame at least dropped in trip.
9
3rd (9) (3/1 +40%) Your Spirit
3
3/1(+40%)
(9) Your Spirit 3/1, Placed 3 of 4 starts but hasn't really been progressing, showing no obvious benefit for addition of hood last time. What she has achieved though means she warrants consideration in this company.
3
4th (3) (8/1 +33%) Lady Roamer
8
8/1(+33%)
(3) Lady Roamer 8/1, Speedily bred but hasn't offered much in a pair of starts to date and will need to show much improved form to feature here.
7
5th (7) (3.5/1 -180%) Mrs Trump
3.5
3.5/1(-180%)
(7) Mrs Trump 3.5/1, Outran her 28/1-odds when a promising second at Beverley on debut, nearest at finish after showing inexperience early. Likely has even better to come and will take all the beating.
8
6th (8) (6.5/1 +35%) Poppy Carrew
6.5
6.5/1(+35%)
(8) Poppy Carrew 6.5/1, Fourth of 6 in 5f York minor event on debut but went backwards when last of 11 in maiden at Newmarket (6f, good) 30 days ago. Needs to get back on track dropped back in trip.
6
7th (6) (100/1 -52%) Miss Marianne
100
100/1(-52%)
(6) Miss Marianne 100/1, Bred to make a speedy juvenile but has shown barely anything in a pair of starts so far and is hard to fancy once again.
5
8th (5) (50/1 +0%) Minchinhampton
50
50/1(+0%)
(5) Minchinhampton 50/1, Foaled March 23. Mayson filly. Half-sister to useful winner up to 8.4f Crownthorpe. Dam, 2-y-o 5f winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 7f Charles Molson. Probably the more interesting of the yard's debutantes.
10
9th (10) (28/1 +15%) Zerbinetta
28
28/1(+15%)
(10) Zerbinetta 28/1, Wore hood on debut and ran to just a poor level when fifth of 12 in minor event at this course (6f, good, 16/1) 9 days ago. Needs to leave that form behind.
4
10th (4) (33/1 +50%) Little Red Dancer
33
33/1(+50%)
(4) Little Red Dancer 33/1, Foaled April 21. Pastoral Pursuits filly. Dam unreliable winner up to 7f (2-y-o 5f winner). Looks an unlikely debut winner on paper.
LTO Selection:
13:45 Pontefract Maiden (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(7) Asdaa 11/1, Hasn't returned in much form and the return to quicker ground failed to spark a revival at Epsom 10 days ago. Mark continues in freefall but tough to support on recent evidence.
2
2nd (2) (3/1 -9%) Lenny's Spirit
3
3/1(-9%)
(2) Lenny's Spirit 3/1, Going through a fine spell at present, notching a third success of the year at Yarmouth last month. Similar form when runner-up at Epsom since and this thriving sort is fancied to go well again.
6
3rd (6) (1.88/1 +25%) Poet's Dawn
1.88
1.88/1(+25%)
(6) Poet's Dawn 1.88/1, Has been knocking firmly on the door in recent weeks, finishing runner-up on his last couple of starts since fitted with cheekpieces (latest at Ripon earlier this month). Fancied to be in the mix once again with the headgear discarded.
3
4th (3) (5.5/1 +8%) Little Jo
5.5
5.5/1(+8%)
(3) Little Jo 5.5/1, Losing sequence is mounting but doing little wrong in defeat this year, posting another creditable effort when fourth at Carlisle earlier this month. Could be ready to strike.
8
5th (8) (9/1 +18%) Strangerontheshore
9
9/1(+18%)
(8) Strangerontheshore 9/1, Notched a second win of the season when swooping late in a race run to suit at Leicester last month. Not quite so good upped in trip at Carlisle since but this return to 1m sure to be in her favour and she's one for the shortlist.
10
6th (10) (40/1 +20%) Alsithee
40
40/1(+20%)
(10) Alsithee 40/1, Had just a handful of starts but very tough to make a case for having finished tailed-off last on both outings this season (latest in a first-time visor).
1
7th (1) (14/1 +13%) Gordonstoun
14
14/1(+13%)
(1) Gordonstoun 14/1, Ended 2021 out of sorts for Paul & Oliver Cole and little to shout about on both starts for his new connections last month. Well treated if able to keep his quirks in check but needs to show more before becoming of interest.
9
8th (9) (40/1 -186%) Greek Kodiac
40
40/1(-186%)
(9) Greek Kodiac 40/1, Easily best effort for this yard when a keeping-on third of 11 at Ripon earlier this month but couldn’t build on that effort in a cheekpieces/tongue tie combination for the first time this season at Haydock 11 days later. Tongue tie discarded but others make more appeal.
4
9th (4) (12/1 -20%) Defence Treaty
12
12/1(-20%)
(4) Defence Treaty 12/1, Dual winner last year but little to shout about so far this term, down the field when last seen at Southwell in March. Mark continues to plummet (now 10 lb below last winning mark) and useful claimer takes off another 5. Worth a market check.
11
10th (11) (25/1 +24%) Destroyer
25
25/1(+24%)
(11) Destroyer 25/1, C&D winner back in 2017 but little worthwhile form on the turf for some time. Makes return after 6 months off and a watching brief is advised.
LTO Selection:
14:20 Pontefract Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(5) Highwaygrey 4/1, Four-time C&D winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. 10/3, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Ayr 13 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time. Stable seeking a fourth successive win in this contest.
2
1st (2) (3.33/1 +33%) Piecederesistance
3.33
3.33/1(+33%)
(2) Piecederesistance 3.33/1, Fairly useful form on the Flat in France for Andre Fabre. Modest form at best in 2 hurdle starts for this yard over the winter but ran well back on the Flat when second (Highwaygrey third) over C&D 5 weeks ago. Claims if he can build on that.
4
2nd (4) (3.33/1 +63%) Colinton
3.33
3.33/1(+63%)
(4) Colinton 3.33/1, Four wins in a very productive spell since joining this yard at the start of the year but he did find his run of good form coming to a halt at Ayr last time.
3
3rd (3) (5/1 -11%) Strawman
5
5/1(-11%)
(3) Strawman 5/1, Won 3 times last summer and opened his account for this season when getting up late at Redcar in June (form worked out). Has had excuses for his 2 defeats since and he still looks well treated on the Redcar form.
1
4th (1) (5/1 -122%) Lightening Company
5
5/1(-122%)
(1) Lightening Company 5/1, Back on the up with 1m Redcar win in April and good efforts in defeat at York and Haydock since. Ought to give his running again and respected.
6
5th (6) (8.5/1 +29%) Outsmart
8.5
8.5/1(+29%)
(6) Outsmart 8.5/1, Two wins this year, namely a 1m Newcastle maiden and a Beverley handicap over this trip. Failed to stay 12.5f when sixth of 8 at Newcastle latest so he's probably in slightly better form than that might suggest.
7
6th (7) (66/1 -164%) Bramham
66
66/1(-164%)
(7) Bramham 66/1, Below the form of his AW debut third in 2 subsequent outings on turf but it's much too soon to suggest he won't prove fully effective on grass. Makes handicap debut after 2 months off.
LTO Selection:
14:55 Pontefract Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(6) Corinthia Knight 1.62/1, Three-time C&D winner (including in this event 12 months ago) who arrives on the back of good second of 11 in 6f handicap at Carlisle 22 days ago. Player.
1
2nd (1) (3.5/1 +0%) Persuasion
3.5
3.5/1(+0%)
(1) Persuasion 3.5/1, Useful handicapper at his best but he's yet to hit that form for his current yard, only fifteenth of 18 in handicap at Newmarket (7f) 15 days ago. Slipping in the weights so can't be discounted though.
5
3rd (5) (6/1 +50%) Bay Breeze
6
6/1(+50%)
(5) Bay Breeze 6/1, Dual 6f scorer at Ripon this term who wasn't disgraced when fourth of 5 in handicap at Catterick (6f) 11 days ago given he didn't handle the bend too well. Shortlisted.
3
4th (3) (14/1 -17%) Equiano Springs
14
14/1(-17%)
(3) Equiano Springs 14/1, Fared best of those held up when fifth of 20 in handicap at York (6f) 15 days ago. Can make his presence felt eased 1 lb.
2
5th (2) (2.25/1 +0%) Origintrail
2.25
2.25/1(+0%)
(2) Origintrail 2.25/1, Bagged Ripon maiden and Chester handicap in May before good second of 4 in 6f handicap at Newmarket 30 days ago when not having run of race. Needs considering off an unchanged mark.
LTO Selection:
15:30 Pontefract Handicap (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(7) Alflaila 3.5/1, Smart colt. Returned with 7f Ascot handicap win and bounced back quickly from a below-par run in the Jersey at Royal Ascot when 1½ lengths second to Mighty Ulysses in 1m Newmarket listed 17 days ago. Considered.
6
2nd (6) (33/1 +50%) Marie's Diamond
33
33/1(+50%)
(6) Marie's Diamond 33/1, Front-runner who won this race for Mark Johnston in 2019 but seemingly isn't quite the force of old, finishing well held in John Smith's Cup at York last time.
1
3rd (1) (0.91/1 +55%) Modern News
0.91
0.91/1(+55%)
(1) Modern News 0.91/1, Won Spring Cup at Newbury in April and listed race at Windsor in May (both 1m). Creditable runner-up efforts in Epsom Group 3 and another Windsor listed event on last 2 starts. Another bold show likely.
4
4th (4) (12/1 -9%) Dubai Icon
12
12/1(-9%)
(4) Dubai Icon 12/1, Bolted up at Meydan in January and bounced back from lesser efforts subsequently when resuming winning ways in 1m Windsor handicap last month. More required now stepping back up in grade.
5
5th (5) (11/1 -120%) Magical Morning
11
11/1(-120%)
(5) Magical Morning 11/1, Smart performer who was better than ever when winning a 1m Doncaster handicap under Robert Havlin at the beginning of June. Never involved under a big weight in the Royal Hunt Cup but his Doncaster form suggests he can go close at this level.
2
6th (2) (4.5/1 +44%) Astro King
4.5
4.5/1(+44%)
(2) Astro King 4.5/1, Very consistent in top-end handicaps without winning one, finishing fourth of 29 in Royal Hunt Cup at Ascot (1m, good to firm) last month. Can be expected to give his running but a bit more will be needed at this level.
LTO Selection:
16:05 Pontefract Listed (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(6) Wilkins 0.29/1, Fair form to date, having the run of things when third in a novice at Windsor last time. That was a much stronger race than this, however, and he looks the one to beat.
4
2nd (4) (4.5/1 -80%) Positive Force
4.5
4.5/1(-80%)
(4) Positive Force 4.5/1, Improved after a gelding operation/10 weeks off when third of 7 in novice at Thirsk last month. Disappointing (looked awkward) there since, but can't be ruled out in this company.
7
3rd (7) (5/1 +23%) Yakhabar
5
5/1(+23%)
(7) Yakhabar 5/1, Promising start when a staying-on fifth in a novice at Doncaster a year ago. Has left Sir Michael Stoute and been gelded since, but he's still a likely improver and well worthy of a market check.
2
4th (2) (200/1 -33%) Kirk House
200
200/1(-33%)
(2) Kirk House 200/1, No sign of promise on either outing to date. Set for another struggle.
3
5th (3) (66/1 +18%) Mister Charlie
66
66/1(+18%)
(3) Mister Charlie 66/1, Big price and only passed beaten rivals when fifth at Ripon on debut earlier in the month. Marked improvement required.
5
6th (5) (100/1 +33%) Robin Goodfellow
100
100/1(+33%)
(5) Robin Goodfellow 100/1, Related to several winners but yet to offer any sign of ability. Hard to make a case for.
1
7th (1) (100/1 -52%) Profiles Mix
100
100/1(-52%)
(1) Profiles Mix 100/1, Poor form in bumpers and hard to believe he'll make an impact on Flat debut.
LTO Selection:
16:40 Pontefract Maiden (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(1) Helvetian 9/1, Capitalised on a slightly lower turf mark to record a seventh career success when winning at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) in April. However, below form at Doncaster last time so needs to bounce back.
8
2nd (8) (5.5/1 +21%) Elzaal
5.5
5.5/1(+21%)
(8) Elzaal 5.5/1, Overcame trouble-in-running to belatedly shed maiden tag at Carlisle (5f, good to firm) in May. Has held his form well since, running up to his best when third at Beverley 12 days ago. Respected.
5
3rd (5) (4.5/1 -13%) Canaria Prince
4.5
4.5/1(-13%)
(5) Canaria Prince 4.5/1, Had been running well in handicaps prior to getting off the mark at Beverley (5f, good to firm) earlier this month. Creditable effort when runner-up in minor event at Hamilton 2 days later. Major player.
10
4th (10) (4/1 +50%) Chester Le Streak
4
4/1(+50%)
(10) Chester Le Streak 4/1, Having finished no better than mid-division in a trio of maidens, got back on track when fourth on handicap debut at Carlisle (5.8f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Others still look stronger.
2
5th (2) (6.5/1 +28%) Dapper Man
6.5
6.5/1(+28%)
(2) Dapper Man 6.5/1, C&D winner who is operating below his best this season. Dropping in the weights as a result but needs to show more to be able to take advantage.
6
6th (6) (9/1 +73%) Marselan
9
9/1(+73%)
(6) Marselan 9/1, Recorded back-to-back handicap wins at 7f early last season when trained by Eve Johnson Houghton, but has shown little form since. Best watched.
3
7th (3) (4/1 +20%) Bicep
4
4/1(+20%)
(3) Bicep 4/1, Successful on debut when trained by Archie Watson last year but remains without a win since. Has shown signs of promise this season and could make the frame again off a workable mark.
11
8th (11) (16/1 +0%) Stroxx
16
16/1(+0%)
(11) Stroxx 16/1, Remains a maiden after 24 Flat runs. Visored for 1st time, respectable third of 7 in minor event at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Blinkers now back on. Looks vulnerable once again.
7
9th (7) (22/1 -83%) Muatadel
22
22/1(-83%)
(7) Muatadel 22/1, C&D winner last season but form has been in-and-out this year, following his runner-up effort at Beverley (5f, good to firm) in May with 2 poor efforts. Has a bit to prove at present.

About U.K Horse Racing
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.
