REIGNING PROFIT was comfortably on top over C&D last week so a 5lb penalty may not prevent him following up. Huddle Up got his career back on track with a promising reappearance second at Thirsk and is feared most ahead of Mews House, who arrives in form from AW

Charlotte Russell, General Manager, Go Racing in Yorkshire will present a memento to the winning owner in the Winner’s Enclosure after this race A cash prize of £30 will be presented to the stable employee in charge of the best turned out horse in this race.

THE COOKSTOWN CAFU’s form is on an upward curve and a 2lb rise for his reappearance success at Redcar doesn’t look sufficient to prevent this C&D winner from following up.

PLAY SMARTER

Kevin Ryan’s QUINTUS ARRIUS got off the mark in a Newcastle novice in February (form been franked) and looks to have got in lightly for his handicap debut so is fancied to follow up at the chief expense of fellow handicap debutant Ertebat. Southwell-third Lumacho is weighted to have a say too off an easing mark for the in-form George Boughey yard

PLAY SMARTER

A case can be made for a few of these so at the likely odds it is worth siding with George Boughey’s Mehmas gelding NINE SIX FIVE, who looked badly in need of the experience when a recent debut Catterick fourth and could take a big step forward here for a yard among the winners. Reidh rates the pick on his juvenile form and can have a big say if fully tuned up for his return, while Carlisle-third Farhhfromforgotten and newcomer Songwriter are two more who need considering.

GENERAL HELP

If you require assistance please ask one of the Attendants, either at the Entrance where you came in or at one of the Pass Gates. If you are in the Premier or Grandstand & Paddock Enclosures you can also enquire at the Raceday Office which is next to the Winners Enclosure.

PHOTO FINISH &STEWARDS ENQUIRIES

In any race where a PHOTO-FINISH has been called for by the judge, an announcement will be broadcast. Photographs are displayed on the CCTV system. Photographs and results of Stewards’ enquiries are also displayed as follows:-

GRANDSTAND & PADDOCK: Outside the Raceday Office.

PICNIC ENCLOSURE: By the Transfer Gate to the Grandstand & Paddock Enclosure.

There are 3 stations in Pontefract – Monkhill, Baghill and Tanshelf. Pontefract Tanshelf is more or less opposite the entrance to the Park, whereas Monkhill and Baghill stations are more centrally located in Pontefract and are around 2 to 3 miles from the course. If you don’t fancy the walk through the Town, taxis are available at the stations.

There is a fourth station at Glasshoughton which adjoins the Xscape complex. This is a couple of miles from the Racecourse. If you have some time to kill, from near Glasshoughton Station (starting in the car park to B&Q!), there is a lovely walk through the Park to the Racecourse. It will take around 45 minutes.

GALTON: Following its run on 31/3/2023 it was reported that the horse hung right handed.

Probable S.P.’s: 4-1 Agonyclite (GB), 11-2 Hostelry (GB), Galton (GB), 15-2 Urban Road (GB), 10-1 She’s Got Bottle (GB), 12-1 Revoquable (GB), 14-1 Darbucks (IRE), Barneys Gift (FR), 22-1 Le Bayou (FR), 50-1 Buachaill (IRE), 66-1 Marcie (IRE), 80-1 Crystal Dawn (IRE)

AGONYCLITE has shown improved form since stepped up to 1m and is taken to go one place better than over C&D last month. Hostelry doesn’t have the easiest of draws but is still feared most on the back of a good reappearance run at Southwell. Urban Road and Galton complete the shortlist.
