Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Undiscovered heads our ratings on 105, six pounds clear of Kodiac City on 99, and that gap is enough to make him the one to beat in this eight-runner Class 1 event over a mile at Pontefract. The good to soft ground shouldn't pose any obvious problem, and with the rest of the field rated 95 or lower, he only needs to run to his level to be hard to peg back. Kodiac City is the chief danger, while Silverella and Game Character, both within a few pounds of each other on 95 and 94, could make it a tighter finish if our pick fails to give his best. Undiscovered is the selection.

Hugo Palmer 5/31
Game Character arrives a last-time-out winner, with a third two starts back, and has run over today's trip and going after a fresh 23-day break; our rating of 94 backs him as a leading danger. The main risk is 131 lb, a hefty burden off an official 89.

Owen Burrows 4/11
King High has solid recent form, second last time out and a winner two starts back, and has run over today's trip, but our rating of 86 ranks him just seventh of eight. Carrying 131 lb off an official 97 from stall six, he looks short of the class needed here.

Richard Hughes 1/21
Kodiac City was third last time out, and a winner three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and on this going before, while our rating of 99 ranks him second of eight. The main risk is a yard struggling, with just one winner from 21 in the last 14 days.

David Allan
James Tate 2/13
Palace Legacy arrives in decent heart after back-to-back seconds, and he has run over today's trip and going, but he is yet to win in his last four starts and an eighth three starts back shows his limits. Our rating of 87 ranks him sixth of eight, and he carries 131 lb from stall eight.

Adrian Keatley 2/8
Tyrrhenian Thunder won last time out a month ago and has run over today's trip, which gives him a solid base, though he is only one run into this recent form. Carrying 131 lb from draw 1, he looks a midfield sort, with our rating of 88 ranking him fifth of eight.

Undiscovered won twice in his last five starts, four and five starts back, and returns fresh after 25 days with experience of today's trip and going. Our rating of 105 makes him the one to beat, though his last two runs were only fifths.

Mary Doll won last time out and has run over today's trip, but that came 41 days ago, and our figures rank her last of eight. Carrying 126 lb from draw 5, she looks hard to fancy on an 80 rating.

Marcus Tregoning 2/8
Silverella arrives in cracking form, a winner last time out and again two starts back after a fifth three starts back, and she is fresh enough after 25 days off, having run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 95 backs her as a leading threat; the main risk is 126 lb off an official mark of 85.
