13:45 Pontefract Maiden (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Chumbaa has been a consistent performer without getting her head in front and she is likely to enter calculations following her recent third at Musselburgh. La Habanera took a step forward when third at York and a repeat of that effort would see her go close, but Karl Burke has enjoyed a fine season with his juveniles and the Middleham handler may have another interesting juvenile in the shape of ESTIFADA. The daughter of Caravaggio comes from a nice family that contains juvenile winners and she gets the vote to make a winning debut.

Those with experience don't set the bar that high so the suggestion is Karl Burke newcomer ESTIFADA, with confidence in her chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. La Habanera and Chumbaa can fight it out for minor honours.

Queens Road Revue can step forward again but well-bred newcomer ESTIFADA is given the tentative vote.

14:15 Pontefract Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

ASCARI improved for the step back up to a mile when third at Windsor on his latest start and the son of Invincible Spirit makes plenty of appeal running off the same mark. Perfect Swiss bounced back to form when just denied over C&D last Friday. The seven-year-old is respected, while others to note include recent Haydock winner Bushfire and Bay Dream Believer.

ASCARI remains unexposed in handicaps and shaped well despite plenty going wrong for him at Windsor last time, so he makes most appeal with further improvement a distinct possibility. Perfect Swiss has a good C&D record and produced another bold show here last week, so is expected to be in the mix again, with recent Chester runner-up Mabre also considered.

Perfect Swiss and Mabre are high on the list but the unexposed ASCARI is taken to build on a promising third at Windsor.

14:50 Pontefract Listed (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

FLIGHT PLAN has faced some tough assignments, including the 2000 Guineas and the Jersey at Royal Ascot, but this appears to be a suitable opportunity for him to bounce back to form. His return effort, when beaten a neck at Newcastle, suggested he would have a productive season and the drop back to this level is likely to aid his cause. Raadobarg commands respect based on his penultimate effort when third to Chindit at Ascot, while the drop back in trip might yield improvement from Poker Face.

The drop back in trip could be a good move for POKER FACE who is taken to open his account at listed level. The return to 1m should also help Raadobarg and he's second choice ahead of Al Mubhir.

Poker Face is narrowly preferred to Raadobarg among the older horses but FLIGHT PLAN, the sole 3yo, could still have potential.

15:25 Pontefract Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

A taking winner at Chester last time out, AULD TOON LOON must hold every chance of following up and making it three wins from his last four starts. Dubai Souq wasn't beaten far at Windsor in May and looks to be his main danger, along with Bollin Margaret, who is a player based on the pick of her form. Don't Look Back and Orchestra cannot be ruled out either.

AULD TOON LOON arrives at the top of his game and is fancied to register his third victory of the season. Dubai Souq made a pleasing return at Windsor in May and is feared most, whilst sole 3-y-o representative Orchestra can also make his presence felt.

This may lie between AULD TOON LOON (nap) and Dubai Souq. The former had a close second and two wins from his three runs at 1m2f.

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

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

This can go the way of TRIBUTE, who looks to have an ideal opportunity to get off the mark at sixth time of asking, having not been beaten far at Windsor recently over further. The son of Acclamation can strike for his in-form yard, with the well-bred Dubawi Warrior looking best placed to chase him home. Aeroplane Mode would hold decent claims if bouncing back to the form of his penultimate effort at Wolverhampton.

A weak maiden which would appear to represent a good opportunity for TRIBUTE to get off the mark. Fellow Newmarket raider Dubawi Warrior is selected to follow him home.

Given that this looks such a weak race, the clear form choice TRIBUTE is given the vote despite his inconsistency.

16:35 Pontefract Maiden (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

FLEURIR attempted to make all last time at Newmarket only to be denied in the final strides. She sets the standard in this contest with a rating of 77, which could prove too high for her rivals to reach, so the daughter of Justify is fancied to shed her maiden tag. The obvious danger is Retraction, who shaped well in heavy conditions when second on debut at Redcar. The 88,000-pound purchase Monty Be Quick warrants a market check.

FLEURIR matched her best form when runner-up at Newmarket last month and looks to have been found a good opportunity to open her account here. Retraction showed ability on his sole start last year and looks the obvious danger, whilst market support for bumper winner Le Fils de Force could prove significant.

Fleurir is the only choice on form but RETRACTION showed enough on his debut last November to think that he might trouble her.

17:10 Pontefract Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Astapor has been in good form since April, with the latest of his efforts coming when third at Hamilton off this same rating, and he is likely to go well once more. However, the one that takes the eye more is MUATADEL, who filled the runner-up spot at Beverley on his most recent outing and he remains 6lb lower than last his winning mark. Imperial Khan completes the shortlist after his fifth last time.

ASTAPOR has shown improved form this year, recording his third win of the season at Carlisle at the beginning of the month, and he can score again in his current mood. Soul Seeker has been holding his form well and would be feared most if taking up this engagement, while Muatadel can give another good account.

Astapor is on the up but he's not the only pace influence on show and ELZAAL may be able to pick up the pieces if they go hard.
