UK Horse Racing Tips: Pontefract

INDICATION CALL is the only runner here with any racecourse experience and as he was beaten less than a length on his latest outing at Beverley, we also know he has plenty of ability for a stable in good form. Of the newcomers, most appear bred to be better over further, with the possible exceptions of Kaaress and Adaay To Win, while Billy Lougnane claims 5lb off the back of Billy Webster, suggesting he is worth a market watch.
Prediction : 1st Indication Call 2nd Kaaress 3rd Adaay To Win

Concorde will likely prove popular here after winning at Redcar and being beaten a nose under a penalty when eased up close home at Chelmsford last Thursday, but two runs in such a short period may take it's toll. He has to give 7lb to another Redcar winner in CAMACHO STAR, who proved hard to pass last time and may tough it out again. Kohana Breeze tries blinkers instead of cheekpieces and has a chance if she can bounce back to her better form.
Prediction : 1st Camacho Star 2nd Concorde 3rd Kohana Breeze

ZEALOT has now won seven of his last eight starts on the all-weather, the last three under Billy Loughnane, and it will be interesting to see if he can continue that run on turf, in better company, off a 3lb higher mark than last time. Tactically adaptable, he can make all or come from off the pace, and that may give him the edge over Goodwood third Ajero, who is having his first start of the season, and Wootton'sun, who is expected to appreciate the forecast good ground.
Prediction : 1st Zealot 2nd Ajero 3rd Woottonsun

This represents a drop in class for MY MATE TED, who finished a disappointing eighth on his return off a break over this trip at Kempton earlier in the month. He sits on the same mark as when recording a half a length second at Windsor on his third-last outing and must have every chance if reproducing that effort. Ravenglass remains 4lb above his last winning mark but is still feared, while recent C&D winner Do I Dream adds further spice to the race.
Prediction : 1st My Mate Ted 2nd Ravenglass 3rd Do I Dream

TARBAT NESS steps up in trip following a good second over 2m at Redcar earlier this month and a 3lb rise looks unlikely to stop him. The gelded son of Reliable Man left the impression that he could benefit from a stiffer stamina test. Visite Officielle has dropped 2lb following a distant third behind the selection in the aforementioned race and is feared, while Vintage Valley also warrants respect.
Prediction : 1st Tarbat Ness 2nd Visite Officielle 3rd Vintage Valley

Tellus and DEAR DAPHNE help to set a reasonable standard on official ratings, with preference for the latter given her proven match-fitness after a near-miss on the all-weather earlier this month. Newmarket raider Star Map appeals most from the newcomers, given she has a likable pedigree and is introduced at a realistic level. Quandary and Selby's Joy are others to monitor closely in the betting market.
Prediction : 1st Dear Daphne 2nd Tellus 3rd Star Map

High Security and John Kirkup have both gone well here in the past and are worthy of consideration in an open sprint handicap. However, marginal preference is for the less exposed GANNON GLORY, who has shaped well on the all-weather since joining Richard Fahey. He reverts to turf on a competitive mark and, as he arrives in better form than most, the gelding has a solid chance of adding a second C&D success to his portfolio.
Prediction : 1st Gannon Glory 2nd High Security 3rd John Kirkup
