Pontefract — 17 July 2026

Class 6 · 1m4f5y · Good To Firm · 7 ran

We passed. Likely winner: Hansteen (4/6)

Won by: Hansteen (GB) at 5/6F · then Muhib (GB)

What we said: Hansteen is a fair-priced favourite (4/6, ~55% fair) with no market overlay, and three others (Muhib, Yakhabar, Resdev Time) all hold plausible claims in a genuinely tight Class 6 field

Class 4 · 0m6f0y · Good To Firm · 7 ran

We passed. Likely winner: Maximus Meridius (6/4)

Won by: Angel In My Heart (IRE) at 13/8F · then Baldetti (IRE)

What we said: market steamer Maximus Meridius already priced tighter than its own fair%, and every other runner is priced at or worse than fair too — no genuine value gap anywhere in this 7-runner maiden

Class 3 · 0m5f3y · Good To Firm · 7 ran

We passed. Likely winner: Badri (3/1)

Won by: Badri (GB) at 15/8F · then Baker Blue (GB)

What we said: 7-runner sprint with 5 legitimate contenders (Badri, Sir Yoshi, I'm Next, Vantheman, Reigning Profit) and draw bias splitting form horses on both sides, no single overlay big enough to compensate

Class 4 · 1m0f6y · Good To Firm · 6 ran

We passed. Likely winner: Best Rate (10/11)

Won by: Best Rate (GB) at 10/11F · then Jez Bomb (GB)

What we said: six-runner handicap with 3+ legitimate claims (Best Rate, Billyb, Sailthisshipalone) and no runner priced meaningfully above its fair%, so no real market edge

Class 5 · 0m6f0y · Good To Firm · 6 ran

We passed. Likely winner: Alfa Whiteburd (10/11)

Won by: Alfa Whiteburd (IRE) at 1/2F · then Dorney Lake (GB)

What we said: Alfa Whiteburd ticks every form/draw box but is priced right at fair (10/11 vs 9/8 fair), no market mispricing to exploit

Class 6 · 1m0f6y · Good To Firm · 7 ran

Not a bet. The horse we made most likely: Theme Park (11/2)

Won by: Mount King (IRE) at 9/2 · then Snaafy (GB)

What we said: top-rated form clear of the field, gets a favoured low draw at this tricky turning track, and shows a genuine bookie overlay vs exchange
