UK Horse Racing Tips: Pontefract

SHINE'S AMBITION wasn't at ease around Chester on his second start following a promising debut when runner-up at Newcastle and a more conventional track on this occasion is likely to aid his cause. Braveheart Boy didn't get the clearest of runs at Carlisle last time and better is expected on the evidence of his first run at Redcar, while Washington Heights is respected despite carrying a penalty for his win at Carlisle.
Prediction : 1st Shines Ambition 2nd Braveheart Boy 3rd Washington Heights

GIFTED ANGEL has progressed with each start to date and arrives having finished a respectable third at Nottingham at the start of the month. An opening mark of 76 appears to be workable for Tom Dascombe's colt and the step back up in trip is unlikely to be an issue. Jaxta was gelded following him getting off the mark at Ripon in May and he is of interest along with Alif Power.
Prediction : 1st Gifted Angel 2nd Jaxta 3rd Alif Power

REDARNA took a step back in the right direction when third at Hamilton last time and the eight-year-old, who took the Thirsk Hunt Cup on his return to action, is capable of getting his head back in front. Bearaway could bounce back from a disappointing effort at Newbury having run well the time before at Kempton, while others to note are Strongbowe and Hortzadar.
Prediction : 1st Redarna 2nd Bearaway 3rd Strongbowe

DANZA DELLA LUNA didn't get the clearest run when third at Ffos Las on her latest start and the daughter of Phoenix Reach makes the most appeal. Purple Ice may prove sharper in first-time blinkers and is respected, while Drill To Dream, who shaped better than the result at Haydock on her most recent run, can also have a say.
Prediction : 1st Danza Della Luna 2nd Purple Ice 3rd Drill To Dream

Mr Orange produced a creditable effort when third over C&D on his latest start and the course specialist holds good claims. However, he may have to play second fiddle to MUTANAASEQ, who showed up well for a long way over 7f at Doncaster last time and promises to be suited by the drop in trip. Buniann posted his best effort of the year when runner-up at Newcastle three weeks ago and, despite all of his wins coming over 5f, can also figure.
Prediction : 1st Mutanaaseq 2nd Mr Orange 3rd Buniann

After scoring at this track on his penultimate start, GHATHANFAR produced a career-best effort when winning readily at York last week and the six-year-old has an excellent chance. Rambuso Creek met plenty of trouble in running when fourth at Beverley last time and could make a bold bid, while C&D winners Rayong and Ventura Express can also make an impact.
Prediction : 1st Ghathanfar 2nd Rambuso Creek 3rd Rayong
