UK Horse Racing Tips: Pontefract

LENNON did extremely well to supplement a Bath triumph over a mile here recently. The rise in distance looks likely to unlock some more improvement from George Boughey's inmate and he's taken to defy a 6lb penalty on this quick turnaround. The biggest threat may emerge from Unplugged, who arrives on the back of a close-up second at Haydock, while Life On The Rocks may fare best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Lennon 2nd Unplugged 3rd Life On The Rocks

Havagomecca posted her best performance of 2024 when finishing second at Musselburgh last time out and Michael Dods' mare must enter the reckoning off an unchanged mark. However, GLORY HYDE arrives on the back of a breakthrough victory in a 19-runner affair at Thirsk and the daughter of Cotai Glory appears to have been let in lightly racing off just 4lb higher. Mereside Angel and Sound Reason are also noted.
Prediction : 1st Glory Hyde 2nd Havagomecca 3rd Mereside Angel

ARDEUR was quite taking when making all to open her account over C&D last month and she rates as the one to beat. The Kameko filly had that contest sewn up some way out and she can repel fellow last-time-out winner Unspoken Love. Karl Burke's filly displayed a willing attitude to score at Musselburgh, which should stand her in good stead going forward. York disappointment Sunshine Soul could also prove a threat now returned to quicker ground conditions.
Prediction : 1st Ardeur 2nd Unspoken Love 3rd Sunshine Soul

OLD COCK has had an excellent start to his career and he showed more than enough pace when scoring over 1m2f last time out at Haydock to suggest that he can handle the drop back to a mile on this occasion. Runner-up on his previous two starts at Carlisle, Aviemore must be of interest on his handicap debut, while Savvy Exchange has strong claims on his C&D success, rather than his subsequent Windsor defeat.
Prediction : 1st Old Cock 2nd Aviemore 3rd Savvy Exchange

Although winless on turf since July 2022, LATE ARRIVAL shaped with plenty of encouragement when second at Thirsk last time out and this appeal as an ideal opportunity. The seven-year-old has operated off higher marks in the past and he is preferred to Wetherby scorer Daytona Lady and Dicko The Legend, who bounced back to form with a strong placed effort at Hamilton last month.
Prediction : 1st Late Arrival 2nd Daytona Lady 3rd Dicko The Legend

Denied by the narrowest of margins at Thirsk last week, DOOMSDAY is able to compete off the same mark and he may be able to gain compensation. With conditions in his favour again, the five-year-old could have too much for the in-form True Nation, as well as Indication Rocket, who might be suited by the cut back in trip. Others to note include Footonthegas, Mr Heinz and Premiership.
Prediction : 1st Doomsday 2nd True Nation 3rd Indication Rocket
