UK Horse Racing Tips: Pontefract

It's difficult to see past MUNSIF, despite his penalty. The son of Sea The Stars was sent off favourite at Nottingham on his racecourse debut and duly obliged in good style. He looks the one to beat with the prospect of more to come. Jeanne Baret is bred for middle-distances and the half-sister to seven winners could prove the main danger, while Dynamo George is closely related to a Listed winner and looks best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Munsif 2nd Jeanne Baret 3rd Dynamo George

ARGENTINE TANGO finished a creditable second at Beverley on debut considering she was green. The daughter of Mattmu will have benefitted considerably from that experience and can make the most of her sex allowance. Champion Island can boast a couple of Listed winners as half-brothers and Charlie Johnston's inmate can make his presence felt, while Star Material faced a stiff task at Musselburgh on debut and is worth noting representing last year's winning yard.
Prediction : 1st Argentine Tango 2nd Champion Island 3rd Star Material

INGLEBY ARCHIE finished a respectable second over 6f at Thirsk on his reappearance and Adrian Nicholls' sprinter made all to land a double over the minimum trip last summer. He could prove hard to stop here if allowed his own way in front. Cloud King may have a say in the outcome if first-time cheekpieces have the desired effect, while Reigning Profit was narrowly denied over course and distance on his penultimate start and can also feature.
Prediction : 1st Ingleby Archie 2nd Cloud King 3rd Reigning Profit

It wasn't a great race that Show Biz Kid won at Yarmouth earlier in the month but he did it gamely and, still open to improvement over the trip, he commands respect off just 2lb higher. However, MOLINARI is entitled to have more of an edge on the back of a respectable second on his seasonal return at Newcastle. Having gone well here before, the top weight shades the vote. It's A Love Thing and Prince Achille complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Molinari 2nd Show Biz Kid 3rd Its A Love Thing

SUPERPOSITION is drawn to attack from stall three and could be well placed to follow up his recent Southwell maiden win. On The River hasn't fared as well with the draw and the widest berth of all complicates his chance of gaining a third career success over C&D. A bigger danger could be posed by the hat-trick seeking/recent track-and-trip winner, Partisan Hero, despite him needing another personal best on these terms.
Prediction : 1st Superposition 2nd Partisan Hero 3rd On The River

Plenty of these arrive in top form, including KATS BOB, who has been a revelation since joining the Ruth Carr stable and is unbeaten in four starts since February. Unpenalised for a comfortable success in an apprentice handicap at Thirsk last time out, the seven-year-old can follow up at the main expense of Wreck It Ryley, who wasn't for catching at the same venue last time. Catterick scorer Mister Sox is another to note, as well as the returning Zip It Up, who was a respectable second at Lingfield when last seen.
Prediction : 1st Kats Bob 2nd Wreck It Ryley 3rd Mister Sox

Turned out again quickly after almost ending a long losing streak over 1m3f at Southwell last time out, ANIFICAS BEAUTY must hold every chance on the drop in distance with Jason Hart an eye-catching booking. A capable sort on his day, Mickey Mongoose can follow the selection home, along with Odd Socks Havana, who has strong claims on his runner-up effort at Newcastle two starts ago.
Prediction : 1st Anificas Beauty 2nd Mickey Mongoose 3rd Odd Socks Havana
