UK Horse Racing Tips: Pontefract

EMPEROR CARADOC has been a model of consistency since returning to sprint distances in recent months, with his latest fourth at Beverley the first time in six outings that he hadn't finished in the top two positions. The five-year-old shaped on that occasion as though stepping back up to 6f would be worth another try and he gets the vote to prove too strong for his rivals. Golden Duke has to be a threat off the same mark as his third at Redcar last time, while Fiscal Policy and Flash The Dash are others capable of a decent showing.
Prediction : 1st Emperor Caradoc 2nd Golden Duke 3rd Fiscal Policy

Seven Symphonies was a beaten favourite on his racecourse bow at Ffos Las when finishing ahead of Apache Green and the pair are entitled to improve, especially with that contest being run on testing ground. That said, REDDEEF took a step forward from his Newmarket debut when third at Carlisle and that extra experience may prove vital. Counting Cards appeals most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Reddeef 2nd Seven Symphonies 3rd Apache Green

KING'S REIGN had been gelded prior to returning from a break when third at Southwell earlier in the month and the application of cheekpieces for his handicap debut might help to make the difference required. Wootton's Jewel may well appreciate stepping up in trip based on his latest effort at Newbury and is respected along with Gibside, who has been knocking on the door over further of late.
Prediction : 1st Kings Reign 2nd Woottons Jewel 3rd Gibside

Mc'ted displayed a willing attitude to prevail at Yarmouth last time out and a 3lb higher rating shouldn't prevent another bold bid from Joseph Parr's inmate. However, the downgraded MOLINARI is off a career-low mark and these calmer waters could prove just the tonic. Kalikapour and Defence Treaty won't be found lacking for stamina on this drop in distance and they also warrant consideration.
Prediction : 1st Molinari 2nd Mcted 3rd Kalikapour

JUDGEMENTOFSOLOMON arrives on the back of a solid second at Chester and he's 1lb well-in on this quick turnaround. Compensation could be headed in the three-year-old's direction if running to a similar level and he shades the verdict over King Of Unicorns. Micky Hammond's gelding returned to form in first-time cheekpieces when second over 1m6f at Redcar last month and this 2m1f is likely to suit. Animato also has the form to feature.
Prediction : 1st Judgementofsolomon 2nd King Of Unicorns 3rd Animato

The William Haggas stable can do little wrong at present, and WITH STYLE was a major improver on her first start for the yard when runner-up at Kempton last time out. With some improvement expected on the back of that, she can get off the mark at the main expense of Monsieur Fudge, who led for most of the contest before being worn down in the final furlong at Salisbury last time. Narrowly denied at Ffos Las on her most recent effort, Times Edition cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st With Style 2nd Monsieur Fudge 3rd Times Edition

A highly-creditable second when coming from off the pace at Newbury last month, HALE END has been difficult to predict this season but when he is on his game, the four-year-old can be tough to beat. The conditions of this contest are likely to suit, and he is preferred to the Beverley winner Lerwick, as well as Monte Linas, who showed his best form for some time when runner-up at the same track last month. Light Speed and On The River are likely to be thereabouts as well.
Prediction : 1st Hale End 2nd Monte Linas 3rd Lerwick
