UK Horse Racing Tips: Pontefract

Although Daydreama (third) had the measure of SHOWTOWN (eighth) at Carlisle on their respective debuts, Kevin Ryan's gelding could reverse that form en route to victory. The market suggested much better was expected from the son of Showcasing and he could take a step forward from a good draw. The former is by no means dismissed, however, while others to note include Jack Rabbit Slims and newcomer Twilight Serenade.
Prediction : 1st Showtown 2nd Daydreama 3rd Jack Rabbit Slims

A confident vote goes to the David O'Meara-trained WALSINGHAM, who returned from 242 days on the sidelines to open his account over C&D recently. The gelded son of Lope De Vega must shoulder a 5lb penalty but given that he remains well treated on his previous Irish exploits, it should be no barrier to further success. Style Of Life merits the utmost respect as she goes in search of a hat-trick, while Theme Park is no back number now afforded an ease in class.
Prediction : 1st Walsingham 2nd Style Of Life 3rd Theme Park

Just half a length separated Little Ted (winner) and RAVISHING BEAUTY (second) at Leicester last month. The latter has yet to score from 12 attempts but she's 2lb better off with that rival now and looks to have an excellent chance of going one place better. Space Raider's mark continues to fall and perhaps returning to the mile will spark an improved performance.
Prediction : 1st Ravishing Beauty 2nd Little Ted 3rd Space Raider

KODIAC THRILLER has held his form well since he had Squealer back in third when he won at Thirsk in May and he could be the answer to this tricky contest. The latter has also flourished since that encounter and should be capable of another bold showing, despite going up 4lb for winning at York last month. Twilight Jet, a dual Group 3 winner in his heyday, lurks on a dangerous mark and is another notable option after a good second at Epsom most recently.
Prediction : 1st Kodiac Thriller 2nd Squealer 3rd Twilight Jet

KITSUNE POWER is effective on a stiff course and is a notable contender off 2lb lower than his last winning mark. A close second over C&D off the same rating on his penultimate start, the Tim Easterby-trained six-year-old has plenty in his favour. Dandy's Angel, who won over 1m2f at Beverley 13 days ago, is feared the most off just 2lb higher. Paper Doll, who is 1lb well-in, is the least exposed and is dangerous to underestimate.
Prediction : 1st Kitsune Power 2nd Dandys Angel 3rd Paper Doll

GOLDEN DUKE (second) and One Of Our Own (winner) fought out a tight finish over C&D last month and while the latter edged that verdict, the former has a 1lb pull on the revised terms and may be able to swing this one his way. Profiteer has a good course record and is the most appealing of the remainder, although Flowstate has each-way appeal.
Prediction : 1st Golden Duke 2nd One Of Our Own 3rd Profiteer
