Today’s tip comes from Pontefract where an interesting newcomer looks to have decent claims. BOOGIE SHOES represents a top in-form stable and it would be no surprise if he made a winning start to his career. Michael Jarvis is no slouch when it comes to training first-time-out winners and this son of Bertolini comes from a line of decent campaigners.

Today’s tip comes from Pontefract where an expensive recruit to the Noseda stable looks to put together some winning form. POINT NORTH will never repay the 500,000gns connections splashed out for him, but he displayed enough promise on his only outing at Newbury back in April to suggest a maiden of this nature is well within his compass.

Today’s tip comes from Pontefract where SHARAKTI drops down in trip during a purple patch of form. A winner of two of her last three starts, the 3-y-o appeared to score with a little bit to spare at Ripon and could be worth keeping on the right side of at present.

Today’s tip comes from Pontefract where BEYOND DESIRE looks to have great claims. A comfortable winner in this grade over 6f at Haydock two starts ago, she finished second in the Group 2 Lowther Stakes at York last year and took a similar placing in a Group 3 at Leopardstown last time out. That sort of form makes compelling reading in the context of this race.

Today’s tip comes from Pontefract where willing front runner MR WOLF looks to land a double. Despit being 6lb worse off than his win here LTO, the horse has been improving at home and should shoulder the weight. Tony Hamilton has won on the horse before over the same C&D and off the same mark. Today’s odds represent very good each way value.

Today’s tip comes from Pontefract where CORNUS is sure to make a bold bid for a treble. He won in great style LTO when he swooped late to land the spoils at Folkestone. He won by 3 lengths, going away that day so he should be able to shoulder the extra weight. The course suits the tactics of hold up horses and having won over this C&D before, Jack Doyle’s horse should fit the bill nicely today.

Today’s tip comes from Pontefract where the handicapper may have cut SHEILING a break. She’s been dropped 2lbs after finishing strongly to claim 4th LTO. That was over 11 furlongs, suggesting that today’s trip of 12f will be more suitable. She’s very well bred and has a lot of past winners in her family so it wouldn’t be a shock if she improved enough to take this one today.

Today’s tip comes from Pontefract where THEOLA looks primed to go close over today’s longer trip. Ended last season on a roll, beating Mith Hill over this trip at York after scoring over slightly shorter round here, and made encouraging start to current campaign when sixth of 15 over 2m at Ascot last month, one place behind subsequent winner Perfect Shot. Today’s claimer takes her to only 1lb higher than her last winning mark and conditions look good for her to gain a further success.

Today’s tip comes from Pontefract where Mick Channon takes GALLIC STAR back down to listed level. The last time he ran in this class he finished 4th but was hampered in running. His runs in group company recently have suggested that a contest like this should be well within his compass.
