Pontefract — 7 July 2026

Class 6 · 6f · Good

We passed. Likely winner: Fasthope (8/1)

What we said: 8-runner nursery, market leader Poppy Foxy has bad draw (6) fighting a real low-draw bias, favoured-draw runners (Fasthope, Priscilla's Hope) lack the class edge to trust blind, no angle stacks up cleanly

Class 3 · 1m2f5y · Good

We passed. Likely winner: Kinetic Impact (9/4)

What we said: favourite Tiernan steamed in but has a poor course jockey/trainer record and weak recent form (320-60), while every other market-drifting runner is a red flag; Kinetic Impact is unraced-fresh money-wise but at 9/4 in a 10-runner maiden with no clean edge

Class 1 · 1m6y · Good

We passed. Likely winner: Consecrated (9/1)

What we said: 12-runner Listed handicap-style form puzzle with steamer/drifter signals pulling in different directions and no single standout; Consecrated's steam is tempting but drawn 1 in a small-field-friendly draw bias doesn't offset modest recent form (637-77)

Class 2 · 6f · Good

Our bet: Badri (5/2)

What we said: steaming from 5/1 to 5/2, favourable low-ish draw, in-form (406171) and course/jockey figures both solid

Class 6 · 1m4f5y · Good

We passed. Likely winner: Clipsham Noble (13/2)

What we said: 11-runner Class 6 handicap with conflicting signals: Cloudy Rose steams but has bad draw, favored-draw horses (Regal Glory, Coverbridge) are drifting hard, no clean angle

Class 5 · 1m6y · Good

We passed. Likely winner: Harswell Ruby (4/1)

What we said: 10-runner handicap, Harswell Ruby's steamer is tempting but drifting Star Banner/War Howl and multiple live contenders (Welbury, Rajapour, Clonquest) make this a genuine form puzzle without a price edge

Class 5 · 5f3y · Good

We passed. Likely winner: Dream Deal (7/4)

What we said: 10-runner sprint handicap, favourite Hover On The Wind concedes big weight from a low draw but market and form are split with Dream Deal, Dandy Dinmont (steamer) and Storm Call (visor angle) all having claims
