Pontefract Place 6 Preview | 8th April

By Steven Dowler

14.02 Thank You Richard Hammill Novice Stakes

STRONG WARRIOR bolted up on his debut at Ayr and looks an exciting printer for Richard Fahey this season. He can take the opener with bigger targets to come later in the season.

Tips: STRONG WARRIOR

14.32 Tommy Hepple Memorial Handicap

MR ZIPPI has yet to win a handicap of any sort but is down to a basement mark, while GREENLIGHTFOGO and VAMPIRE SLAYER have the form in the book to run well in a weak race like this.

Tips: MR ZIPPI, GREENLIGHTFORGO & VAMPIRE SLAYER

15.02 Jamaican Flight Handicap

PIGEON HOUSE only found one too good six days ago and has a good chance of going one better off an unchanged mark. He has lots of decent efforts over two miles, so this is a very opportunity for him to get his head in front.

Tips: PIGEON HOUSE

15.32 Every Race Live On Racing TV Handicap

BROOKLYN NINE NINE is back on his last winning mark and should get this race run to suit. He loves fast ground and has no weight on his back, so if the gaps appear, expect him to be finishing with a late rattle.

Tips: BROOKLYN NINE NINE

16.07 Napoleons Casino Bradford Handicap

DARK CLOUD RISING doesn’t look badly treated on his handicap debut and has shown enough to suggest he’s capable in this grade. Most of his form is working out well, so with more to come this term, he should be very competitive.

Tips: DARK CLOUD RISING

16.42 Celebrating The Life Of Cheryl Hibbert Handicap

KING’S CROWN remains 3lb above his last winning mark, but he ran well on his only previous course outing, and should be thereabouts. MRS TRUMP is generally solid and is only a pound above her last winning mark, so she’s the other one to consider.

Tips: KING’S CROWN & MRS TRUMP
