UK Horse Racing Tips: Pontefract

ALMA LATINA should prove tough to beat in this maiden judged on her two placed efforts so far in better races at Sandown and Salisbury. Third on debut behind Felicitas, that form is very strong when taking into account Ed Walker's filly subsequently finished a close second in the Musidora at York. According To Mark and Fozzie can follow her home in that order.
Prediction : 1st Alma Latina 2nd According To Mark 3rd Fozzie

There is no previous form to go on in this maiden so the market will likely guide. AVIONICS is the most appealing on paper as he represents a top yard, fetched 150,000gns at the breeze-up sales in April and is related to a couple of winners. Shemiyla Star must be taken seriously for a rejuvenated Charlie Johnston stable and Boleto is also interesting.
Prediction : 1st Avionics 2nd Shemiyla Star 3rd Boleto

Maris Angel was in great nick at Wolverhampton towards the back end of last year and is very interesting coming in here off a break. The market may tell us more, but BRAVO ZULU gets the nod as he is race-fit and performed admirably for the silver medal last time out at Redcar. Irish Nectar and Emperor Caradoc are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Bravo Zulu 2nd Maris Angel 3rd Emperor Caradoc

The form of Egotistical's breakthrough victory at Redcar in April appears solid and an official rating of 71 shouldn't prevent another bold showing on her handicap bow. However, ZARINCA was a shade more impressive when opening her account at Southwell in April and she may prove to be slightly better treated. Fellow in-form rivals D Flawless and Diamont Katie are sure to have their supporters too.
Prediction : 1st Zarinca 2nd Egotistical 3rd D Flawless

The Cookstown Cafu justified strong support when scoring over a mile at Newcastle in April and merits respect on his follow-up bid. That said, the son of Invincible Spirit is far from certain to stay this extra quarter-mile distance, which could leave the door open for DISTINCTION. The eight-year-old scored over C&D last June and his latest third at this venue suggests that he could be poised to strike. The lightly-raced Finlaggan is a feasible alternative.
Prediction : 1st Distinction 2nd The Cookstown Cafu 3rd Finlaggan

QUANTUM POWER didn't appear to see out 6f on his latest third at Newmarket and a drop in distance may prove just the tonic. Tom Clover's gelding only gave way inside the final furlong that day and he looks more than capable of landing a race of this nature. Queen Sana has filled the runner-up spot on her last two outings and another bold bid is forecast, while Liverpool Star shouldn't be underestimated sporting first-time cheekpieces.
Prediction : 1st Quantum Power 2nd Queen Sana 3rd Liverpool Star
