The super-competitive six-race card kicks in at 17:30 and a wonderful time appears assured for all on Merseyside, adjoining to junction 26 of the M6. First racetrack I ever visited as a grown-up (pram at Yarmouth cannot really matter), and an excellent venue for each flat racing and leaping motion.

17:30 – Ribble River @ 7/2
There would possibly simply be an unwritten rule in beginner contests on the flat – if Mr Simon Walker’s round, look no additional!
He rattled up a wonderful four-timer on George Baker’s Beauld As Brass in late April and May to promote his evergreen expertise, and he steps up right here to mix with good North Yorkshire handler Kevin Ryan and his four-year-old Ribchester gelding Ribble River.
On seasonal reappearance at Ponty 52 days in the past the choice was working on properly on the end, at this 1m 4f journey, and had signed off for 2024 with successive wins at Carlisle and Hamilton within the method of a quietly enhancing sort.
He is bred for pace however center distances appear nicely inside compass and when you can end with decision at Pontefract at this type of journey you should not be wanting for stamina just about anyplace else.
Seems to be a big jockey reserving to me and if ‘comfortable’ seems within the going description he is received on good-to-soft already, although I doubt he would respect something worse than that.
18:05 – Pole Star @ 5/4
Will Buick was in sensational four-timer territory when final seen right here a matter of days in the past and he groups up with Charlie Johnston and his three-year-old Teofilo colt Pole Star, out of a Dubawi mare.
The choice has had simply two runs so far, each this time period, and crackers they had been. Overwhelmed 2l in a Chester maiden, then only a head in a Newmarket novice.
This journey evidently holds no terrors, and after working inexperienced on each events thus far he’ll profit from that have little question and may rating for the in-form Buick, who has 4 good rides in his guide as he bids so as to add extra North-West success to his seasonal tally.
19:50 – Participle @ 6/5
A once-raced three-year-old daughter of the peerless Frankel now, for Juddmonte, coach Ralph Bennett, and jockey Rossa Ryan.
Participle reappears after a spot of some 288 days however is a really thrilling prospect for connections after going shut on Salisbury debut (overwhelmed a nostril) to a rival who went on to take a $43k Listed affair at Newbury earlier this month.
That is pretty race with some large yards concerned, and ought to be very informative going ahead. The steady are in respectable order (21% strike-rate during the last fortnight), and would not they love one other Bluestocking-type on their fingers?
20:25 – Atlantic Sundown @ 6/1
Three-year-old handicappers go 1m 4f and we’re heading Middleham Moor-way as soon as once more in deciding on a Charlie Johnston-trained conveyance – Atlantic Sundown.
He is by Arc winner Waldgeist, out of a Theatrical mare, and is but to attain after 5 runs. Nonetheless, his final was his greatest so far, a slim 0.75l defeat at Thirsk 13 days in the past, sticking to the duty determinedly shut house.
A deserved first rating could possibly be at hand and the fairly good Silvestre De Sousa has been given the driving task. The racing weight of 8st 13lb reads nicely with half a dozen of his rivals marked between 9st 1lb and 9st 9lb, and the mix of typical Johnston grit and De Sousa’s all-action drive could possibly be merely irresistible.
That is an instance of a Fortunate 15. If you happen to can enhance upon my alternatives (after all you’ll be able to), then go for it!
