16:05 Pontefract Handicap (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

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

JUDGEMENTOFSOLOMON arrives on the back of a solid second at Chester and he's 1lb well-in on this quick turnaround. Compensation could be headed in the three-year-old's direction if running to a similar level and he shades the verdict over King Of Unicorns. Micky Hammond's gelding returned to form in first-time cheekpieces when second over 1m6f at Redcar last month and this 2m1f is likely to suit. Animato also has the form to feature.

Sole 3-y-o representative JUDGEMENTOFSOLOMON should be suited by this stiffer test of stamina and can get back to winning ways. King of Unicorns and Animato are feared most.

Sir Mark Prescott's JUDGEMENTOFSOLOMON (nap) looks set to take a big step forward now his stamina is drawn out so gets a confident vote

16:40 Pontefract Maiden (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

The William Haggas stable can do little wrong at present, and WITH STYLE was a major improver on her first start for the yard when runner-up at Kempton last time out. With some improvement expected on the back of that, she can get off the mark at the main expense of Monsieur Fudge, who led for most of the contest before being worn down in the final furlong at Salisbury last time. Narrowly denied at Ffos Las on her most recent effort, Times Edition cannot be ruled out either.

TIMES EDITION upped her game when second at Ffos Las last month and looks the one to beat. With Style and Monsieur Fudge look the likeliest dangers.

With Style and MONSIEUR FUDGE have similar profiles, having finished second for new stables on their belated seasonal debuts.

5/1(+38%)
(1) Theme Park 5/1, Back on the scoresheet at York (1m, good to firm) in July and wasn't disgraced when mid-field at Haydock/York next 2 starts. Looks competitive on form.
York winner in July; not in the same form since but he's capable of bouncing back.

40/1(-233%)
(11) Petra Celera 40/1, Latest win at Southwell in August. Respectable fourth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 16/1) 9 days ago.
Hasn't been running at all badly but unraced beyond 7f and that looks an issue.

(9) Garden Oasis 25/1, C&D winner. Respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Ripon (8f, good to firm, 12/1) 24 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Back down in class.
Former winner of this race and having another solid season; new visor should be fine.

50/1(-150%)
(12) Visibility 50/1, Unreliable individual. Course winner. Latest win here in July. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 12/1) 16 days ago. Others more persuasive.
The last of his ten wins was here over 1m2f in July; patch since and others appeal more.

Lerwick

5/1(-50%)
(6) Lerwick 5/1, C&D winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. 9/2, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good) 25 days ago, suited by emphasis on stamina. Respected.
C&D winner and won again at Beverley last time; off 4lb higher he looks a player.

6th (7) Urban Sprawl (17/2 +66%)
Urban Sprawl

8.5
17/2(+66%)
(7) Urban Sprawl 17/2, Nineteen runs since last win in 2023. Ninth of 13 in handicap (22/1) at Haydock (8.2f, good) 12 days ago, not clear run.
Easy to make a case on his 3yo form but this campaign hasn't picked up at all.

Golden Sands

22/1(+33%)
(8) Golden Sands 22/1, Well held last 3 starts, found to have bled last time.
Returns to his best trip after two defeats over shorter but he's hard to trust.

Hale End

3/1(+40%)
(5) Hale End 3/1, 3 wins from 10 runs this year. Latest win at Ayr in July. 20/1, good second of 14 in handicap at Newbury (8f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Can make presence felt.
Career best in winning at Ayr (1m, good) in July and bang there in his two subsequent runs.

Light Speed

14/1(-133%)
(3) Light Speed 14/1, Latest win at Chester in July. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap (7/2) at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) 19 days ago, no room from 2f out until finally getting a gap final 100 yds. Has to be taken seriously.
Upside Monte Linas at Beverley 19 days ago and he didn't get the best of runs.

10th (2) On The River (16/1 -146%)
On The River

16
16/1(-146%)
(2) On The River 16/1, Bagged second win of present campaign when narrowly prevailing at Ripon (1m, good) during the summer. Latest fourth over the same C&D was a decent effort and he's in the mix back down in class.
Drying conditions aren't ideal, nor a wide draw for one who likes to be up there.

11th (4) Monte Linas (3/1 +14%)
Monte Linas

3
3/1(+14%)
(4) Monte Linas 3/1, Better for return when creditable second of 11 in handicap (12/1) at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Lower in the weights than for sole success in handicap company and should remain competitive.
Has won off 1lb higher; good run at Beverley last time and he's fresher than most.

Sound Pressure

150/1(-127%)
(10) Sound Pressure 150/1, Fairly useful form when winning a pair of novice races in 2022 for James Horton but has shown nothing both starts for this yard after almost 2 years off.

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.
