12.30 Pontefract - 1pt win Power Station @ 7/1 Bet365

Couldn't get involved at Doncaster last time over 7f but was keen early and I think on form, this one looks like a stiff 6f will be spot on for him. Ran well on good to soft two starts back, registering his highest rating in the process, and being by Footstepsinthesand, soft ground ought to suit too. Can settle better over this trip and still has some scope off this mark.

1.30 Pontefract - 1pt e/w Tidal Point @ 40/1 Bet365

This is going to be an absolute slog and I think I'd be tempted to look outside of those at skinny prices as a result. Tidal Point was a good 2nd at Haydock off 5lbs higher last year over 1m6f on soft ground and whilst hasn't run over extreme distances such as today, shapes as if he should stay okay. Has had two modest runs so far this season but shaped a bit better last time when only fading late in the day and could be ready to do himself justice now after 2 runs since a lengthy absence. Big price so will have a nibble in the hope he's now primed to take another step forward.

2.00 Pontefract - 1pt e/w Monsieur Patat @ 8/1 Bet365

Won well two starts back at Windsor on soft ground but failed to back that up there last time, staying on into midfield on good ground but couldn't get involved. Paid to race handy that day and the return to more testing conditions and a stiffer finish can help him resume his progress.

3.00 Pontefract - 1pt e/w Zodiakos @ 12/1 Bet365

Has been running okay recently, staying on at sharper tracks than this and the return to a real test over a mile looks welcome. Relishes soft ground and isn't off a bad mark here. Ordinarily wouldn't be that keen on a wide drawn runner at Pontefract but good chance they'll come to the stands rail in these conditions which negates that somewhat and optimistic of a good run. 

Why are there no tips today on the pl???

1.10 Catterick - 1pt win Crown Princess @ 6/1 Bet365

I don't think the favourite is thrown in here and the drop back to a sharp 5f might not be ideal either so is worth taking on. I think Crown Princess could be the one to take advantage - couldn't get involved from off the pace when not having the clearest of passages at Wolverhampton last time but would have a good chance on any of her prominent efforts over 5f including when winning comfortably here. Hopefully will not get as far back today and can burn them off late in the day I hope.

2.30 Newbury - 2pts win Humanitarian @ 4/1 Bet365

Very interesting runner having run well in last year's Derby and if returning in anything like that form would go very close off a mark of 102. Flopped at Ascot subsequently but had excuses that day and returns here still relatively unexposed and for a powerful yard who can ready one after an absence. On any run other than his last effort he'd look well handicapped off this mark so worth chancing at a backable price.

3.40 Newbury - 2pts win Jumby @ 4/1 Bet365

Ran a very good race to win on debut and then didn't have the race to suit last time out - racing keenly off a modest gallop before keeping on without threatening. I thought he was the best horse in the race despite only coming home in 4th and is well worth another chance today.

3.20 Ayr - 1pt e/w Magical Journey @ 7/1 Bet365

I think these conditions will really suit Magical Journey who did well when coming off the pace at Pontefract last time to do best of those held up and I just think the extended 5f with a bit of give in the ground could be the making of him. Has run many sound races to make his handicap mark look fair, and even running to his mark here would see a good run. I think a few extra pounds can be eked out under these conditions and looks a good e/w bet. 

3.55 Ayr - 1pt e/w Abstemious @ 14/1 Bet365

Consistent type who has been running well and again these conditions look spot on. Has run respectably over 7f and 6f including on quicker ground but a slower surface and a strong test over 6f looks absolutely perfect for this one and has cheekpieces added for this afternoon. Looks sure to run his race and is a decent price now getting perfect conditions if getting the necessary luck with a clear run and being on the right part of the track. 

4.15 Newbury - Kinross @ 4/1 Bet365

Has found his feet again back down in class and looked the likely winner 2f out last time out when kicking for home early on soft ground over a mile. I came out of that thinking better ground would help him and shouldn't have a problem back down to 7f either. This is another drop in class to listed level and he gets a handy weight for age allowance here too.

Cheers for the tip in the 1.10Pm at Catterick!Think you jinxed her "I actually own a share in Crown Princess"
