UK Horse Racing Tips: Pontefract

REIGNING PROFIT proved a different proposition when making all over C&D last week and Ruth Carr's sprinter should take all the beating again, despite being saddled with a 5lb penalty. Huddle Up returned to action with a runner-up effort at Thirsk and is feared most off the same mark. Motawaazy also enters calculations having placed second at Catterick a week ago, with Mews House third at Lingfield on the same day and also considered.
Prediction : 1st Reigning Profit 2nd Huddle Up 3rd Motawaazy

There was a lot to like about TAYGAR's debut triumph and she looks to have been found a good opportunity to keep her unbeaten record intact. World Of Darcy is the most intriguing of the newcomers and is a potential fly in the ointment, with any market support worth noting. Chumbaa was just under five lengths behind the selection at Beverley and she could finish closer now 7lb better off.
Prediction : 1st Taygar 2nd World Of Darcy 3rd Chumbaa

ARDBRACCAN offered something to work with when not beaten far into fourth at Brighton on her debut for Mick Appleby, and she could take advantage of the inside draw if David Egan chooses to press on. Tahasun shouldn't be underestimated now returned to this level as she found a class 2 event beyond her at Lingfield in December. Benadalid has some solid form to his name of late and is another to consider in an open contest.
Prediction : 1st Ardbraccan 2nd Tahasun 3rd Benadalid

Solar Joe won over C&D last summer and appeals now dropped back in trip after making little impression over 1m4f when last seen. However, he resumes from a stiff looking mark and needs a lot to go his way. Similar applies to Master Richard, who is respected down in class but another personal best is required under top weight. With those issues in mind, it can pay to side with recent Redcar scorer THE COOKSTOWN CAFU, who has more scope now up in distance.
Prediction : 1st The Cookstown Cafu 2nd Solar Joe 3rd Master Richard

This is a deeper race than it looks at first glance, given that Puffable was pitched into a Listed affair when last seen and is respected back at this level, while Quintus Arrius is open to progression now he contest handicaps. However, JUST JANET is equally as notable running off just 3lb higher than her all-weather success from last September, and she could represent good value in what might turn out to be an informative contest.
Prediction : 1st Just Janet 2nd Puffable 3rd Quintus Arrius

REIDH (fourth) and Farhhfromforgotten (fifth) encountered each other at Thirsk last August, where Richard Fahey's colt clearly emerged on top in that personal battle. He is taken to uphold the form, despite his rival being open to some improvement on his first start since being gelded, with both going on to claim third spot on their subsequent starts. Newcomer Songwriter, a 30,000gns half-brother to an all-weather winner, makes some appeal on breeding.
Prediction : 1st Reidh 2nd Farhhfromforgotten 3rd Songwriter

INEXPLICABLE found himself back in the winner's enclosure at Wolverhampton last weekend, pulling clear of his next best rival in the closing stages. A reproduction of that effort could suffice and the six-year-old gets the nod to defy a penalty. Back From Dubai has been edging towards a seventh career victory and seems the most immediate danger after giving a good account when runner-up at Southwell. Mr Strutter produced a promising reappearance effort over C&D and merits consideration on his 92nd start.
Prediction : 1st Inexplicable 2nd Back From Dubai 3rd Mr Strutter

In this competitive contest, it may pay dividends to side with AGONYCLITE, who almost backed up his breakthrough Newcastle triumph when runner-up over C&D. Ben Haslam's four-year-old remains relatively lightly raced and could take another step forward. Galton has placed on each of his last three assignments and could be on the scene yet again off an unchanged mark. Urban Road shed the maiden tag at Southwell and might get involved again off 3lb higher.
Prediction : 1st Agonyclite 2nd Galton 3rd Urban Road
