14:20 Pontefract Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

There has been no stopping the hat-trick seeking DOGGED of late and a 5lb penalty for his most recent success looks unlikely to stop Rebecca Menzies' inmate from adding to his win tally. He kept on to score by a length and a half at Beverley earlier this month and is fancied to get the better of the reopposing Just Hiss, who finished in second behind the selection that day and is 5lb better off with that rival here. Dandy's Angel was a game winner on her latest outing and is another to consider on her hat-trick bid off a 3lb raised mark.

DANDY'S ANGEL arrives in tremendous heart, bagging her third success of the campaign over this sort of trip at Beverley 16 days ago and having gone well at this venue previously (runner-up in this race 12 months ago) she could well be the answer. Just Hiss finished off well when runner-up to re-opposing Dogged at Beverley last week and that pair can feature again. Wolverhampton scorer The New Marwan completes the shortlist.

In an interesting race, the reliable mare DANDY'S ANGEL gets the verdict over fellow hat-trick seeker Dogged.

14:50 Pontefract Maiden (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

RAINWATER made a promising start to his racing career when filling the runner-up spot over this trip at Haydock on Sunday. He is related to a few smart types, including Group 2-placed Ventura Rebel, and he likely has more to offer with that in mind. Royal Zabeel should not be taken lightly in the hands of Ryan Moore, even though he disappointed slightly on his debut over C&D last month. Bay Of Australia is another to bear in mind.

This is a quick turnaround for RAINWATER but there was stacks of promise in his first run at Haydock on Sunday when he was heavily backed and he's hard to get away from. Royal Zabeel is very interesting with Ryan Moore up after showing a fair bit on debut here last month. Sweet Soul Music and newcomer Alice's Impact are respected also.

With a leap forward anticipated, ROYAL ZABEEL gets the vote ahead of Bay Of Australia and Sweet Soul Music.

15:20 Pontefract Maiden (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

POINT GIVEN finished a pleasing fourth at Doncaster on his racecourse bow last month and Sir Michael Stoute's charge must hold every chance of building on that here. A half-brother to the Group 1-winning two-year-old Toormore, he has scope for plenty of improvement and can get the better of Classy Boy, who finished a fair third on his debut. The unraced Bust A Move also warrants a market check.

There was a lot to like about POINT GIVEN's debut effort at Doncaster and he should take a bit of stopping under Ryan Moore. Classy Boy also arrives on the back of a promising opening run at the same meeting at Doncaster and is second choice ahead of Ajwadi, who may benefit from the drop back to 6f.

Promising once-raced colts POINT GIVEN and Classy Boy shaped well at Doncaster and preference for the former is only narrow.

EL BORRACHO would still appear to be feasibly treated judged on what he has achieved over jumps, and the gelded son of Society Rock shades preference in a fairly open contest. He was a well-beaten fifth at Chester last month, but that doesn't tell the whole story as he was denied a clear run for a prolonged period approaching the home bend. Yorkindness might be best placed to follow him home, while Champagne City rounds off the shortlist.

Several course winners in the field but none are more suited to it than CARRIGILLIHY, who has a big chance of adding a sixth win here if his stamina lasts out up in trip. Giovanni Change is a big danger if he gets a soft lead and El Borracho can't be ruled out.

Carrigillihy loves it here but the suggestion is YORKINDNESS who returns to the scene of her most impressive performance to date.

16:20 Pontefract Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Although GLOBAL SPIRIT was in better form prior to landing the corresponding event 12 months ago, he is now 8lb lower and is handicapped to repeat the dose, provided a return to this venue can spark a revival. There has been no stopping Tele Red, who arrives having notched up a brace of successes at Haydock and York, and he merits the utmost respect today. As does Casilli, while it would be folly to rule out former C&D winner Hortzadar, who is now 13lb below his last winning mark.

Allowing for his rider's claim, TELE RED comes here operating just 4 lb above the mark he scored from in good style at York 12 days ago and Karl Burke's charge looks a big player in his hat-trick bid returned to a track he's gone well at previously. Perfect Swiss was better than he could show over C&D latest and is another to consider, with Casilli and last year's winner Global Spirit also worth a second look.

A chance is taken with PERFECT SWISS who went down narrowly over C&D in July and had no luck in running next time.

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

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

IMPRESSOR continued his fine run of form when making it three wins from his last four outings at Hamilton on Saturday and a 5lb penalty is unlikely to stop him from backing that performance up. The only recent defeat for the selection came when third at Beverley in a slowly-run contest when finishing one place behind runner-up King Of Tonga, who had seemingly benefited from wind surgery. Declan Carroll's gelding is likely to prove a solid threat, while The Dunkirk Lads, fourth in that aforementioned event in East Yorkshire, is another capable of being in the mix.

A few with chances but KING OF TONGA showed the benefit of breathing surgery when a recent second at Beverley and can go one better off the same mark with that form having been franked. Impressor is enjoying an excellent season and poses a big threat to Declan Carroll's former C&D scorer however. Newyorkstateofmind and So Grateful need factoring in too in a competitive sprint.

Impressor is thriving but KING OF TONGA (nap) emerged on top when the pair last met and can do so again on 5lb better terms.

Harry's Halo improved from his return at Kempton in June when filling the runner-up spot at both Chester and Doncaster. Kevin Frost's gelding commands plenty of respect, but INTERNATIONAL GIRL edges the vote. She has been running in more competitive races of late and could have finished closer last time at York when hampered at a crucial point. The form of that contest has worked out well, with the winner following up in the Stewards' Cup and the second also winning since, and a 2lb drop from the handicapper aids her cause. Any market support for Kit Gabriel on his first start for Mark Loughnane should be noted.

Pontefract regular CORINTHIA KNIGHT lurks on a very tempting mark and is worth chancing to repeat his win in this last year having not had much go his way here the last twice. A number of other C&D winners make plenty of appeal, International Girl and Ghathanfar the pick of the older brigade ahead of 3-y-o Harry's Halo.

International Girl makes appeal on good ground but course specialist CORINTHIA KNIGHT is too well handicapped to be passed over.

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.
