UK Horse Racing Tips: Pontefract

Shimmering Sands got up to lead in the final strides over C&D and holds an obvious chance in his bid to follow up, but YERMANTHERE might be the one. Tim Easterby's charge returned to winning ways at Ripon and a 3lb rise may underestimate the level of authority he showed that day. Ephron has yet to completely convince that he stays this far, but still completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Yermanthere 2nd Shimmering Sands 3rd Ephron

Sea And Sun shaped with promise when filling the runner-up spot on his introduction at Ripon - albeit beaten a fair way - and has to be respected with that experience under his belt. However, a chance can be taken on newcomer and stablemate CAMELOT CHAMPION. The son of Camelot is a full-brother to four-time Group 1 winner Luxembourg and it would be no surprise to see him make an instant impression. Knight Of Storms is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Camelot Champion 2nd Sea And Sun 3rd Knight Of Storms

Take A View has shown a fair amount of ability in both of her career starts so far, most recently finishing fourth over 1m2f at Salisbury, and she needs to be taken seriously. Sedeirah should take a step forward from her debut sixth at Haydock and is noted, but CAPICHERA only found one too good off a rating of 80 at Nottingham on her handicap debut and this looks a good opportunity for her to get off the mark.
Prediction : 1st Capichera 2nd Take A View 3rd Sedeirah

SELECTION just failed by the smallest of margins over C&D last month and only has a 1lb higher rating to contend with. As long as Ivan Furtado's filly can reproduce that level of form, she will prove a tough nut to crack. Dovey Moon is a player based on his triumph at Salisbury on his penultimate start, while Sir Paul Ramsey lurks on an appealing mark and is also of interest.
Prediction : 1st Selection 2nd Dovey Moon 3rd Sir Paul Ramsey

Silver medals have become something of a theme for Queen Sana, although it's difficult to question her attitude and a first career win looks sure to come sooner rather than later. It might not be just yet, though, because DREAM DEAL seemed to really appreciate dropping to the minimum trip when on target at Beverley and is still competitively handicapped off 6lb higher. Paul Midgley saddled the winner of this 12 months ago so don't rule out Hover On The Wind.
Prediction : 1st Dream Deal 2nd Queen Sana 3rd Hover On The Wind

This won't take much winning and it is LADY BOUQUET who is fancied to come out on top. The daughter of Land Force kept on well without ever really troubling the leaders over 5f here three weeks ago so it's quite possible the return to six can allow her to find that bit extra. Full Gas should be happier back sprinting and it's worth giving a second thought to Ideal Guest, who was far from disgraced when attempting to make all over C&D recently.
Prediction : 1st Lady Bouquet 2nd Full Gas 3rd Ideal Guest

ANIFICAS BEAUTY sprang a surprise to win at odds of 66/1 at Beverley and proved that was no fluke when following up over the same C&D. A 3lb rise looks far from insurmountable and, from a handy draw, the mare is fancied to complete her hat-trick. Far Ahead found only the selection too strong on the Westwood before occupying the same position at Hamilton. Alice's Influence came unstuck on soft ground at Ffos Las, but will find this more to her liking.
Prediction : 1st Anificas Beauty 2nd Far Ahead 3rd Alices Influence
