UK Horse Racing Tips: Pontefract

DANCING GYPSY failed to justify favouritism on his latest outing over C&D, but he still ran a race full of credit in third and he could improve for first-time cheekpieces to go two places better in this grade. Sameem could be thereabouts once more off a 1lb higher than when second at Hamilton last time, while Unplugged would be foolish to dismiss on the back of his success at Haydock.
Prediction : 1st Dancing Gypsy 2nd Sameem 3rd Unplugged

EMERALDS PRIDE has filled the runner-up spot the last twice, with the latest of those efforts coming at Thirsk, and she is only asked to compete off a 1lb higher mark which may not be enough to stop the daughter of Pride Of Dubai from going one better. The main danger is Glendown, who was only denied by a nose into second at Redcar over 6f on his latest outing, while J R Cavagin isn't ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Emeralds Pride 2nd Glendown 3rd J R Cavagin

The Camden Colt had Twilight Romance (third) behind him when victorious at Haydock in May, but the latter is the less exposed of the two and could have more to offer, so may reverse that form. However, they could be fighting it out for second behind BARG, who couldn't have been more impressive on his latest outing at Ripon where he struck by five and a half lengths.
Prediction : 1st Barg 2nd Twilight Romance 3rd The Camden Colt

Only narrowly denied over an extended 1m3f at Yarmouth last month, ROGUE TORNADO can appreciate a marginally stiffer stamina test and is fancied to break his duck off 2lb higher. Tom Clover's inmate has scope to progress and is taken to get the better of Natacata, who steps up in trip following a distant sixth over 7f at Kempton last October. Cosmic View completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Rogue Tornado 2nd Natacata 3rd Cosmic View

Tropez Power has been knocking on the door of late and was not disgraced when finishing second over 1m1f at York last month. However, he previously suggested he wants further, so the unexposed OTTOMAN PRINCE gets the nod. Sir Mark Prescott's three-year-old made a pleasing return to action when scoring at Wolverhampton in May and, given his dam was Listed placed, he is taken to progress further on his turf and handicap bow. Last-time-out winner Cancan In The Rain is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Ottoman Prince 2nd Tropez Power 3rd Cancan In The Rain

This represents a drop in class for GANNON GLORY, who finished a fair third over this trip at Hamilton on his most recent start. A combination of first-time cheekpieces and a 1lb lower mark can see him go very close. Fiscal Policy made a promising return to turf when filling the runner-up spot at Thirsk last month and is feared most off 2lb higher, while South Dakota Sioux is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Gannon Glory 2nd Fiscal Policy 3rd South Dakota Sioux
