With the dust still settling from a thrilling Irish Derby weekend, we turn our attention to the new week with two confident selections for Monday’s racing. One comes from the northern turf at Pontefract, the other from the all-weather track at Wolverhampton — both fit well with the race patterns and tactical trends we’ve been following in recent weeks. Let’s dive in 👇
💥 Pontefract 4:30 – One Of Our Own (11/2) 1pt e/w (4 places)
Race: 6f Racing TV Handicap (Class 6, 3yo+, 0-60) – Ground: Good | Stalls: Inside
✅ One Of Our Own looks ready to strike again in this low-grade sprint. She’s a course and distance winner, now back on the right track after a couple of fair efforts in stronger company. Her mark of 60 is very workable, and the return to Good ground on a track with a stiff finish suits her late kick perfectly. Crucially, she avoids the speed battle up front and could pounce late from just off the pace.
🏇 Main reason: Proven over course and distance and ideally drawn to track the speed before finishing strong.
📌 Alternative: Starsong – Holding consistent form and drawn for a handy early position.
🔒 Wolverhampton 7:30 – Advertorial (11/4) 2pt win
Race: 1m4f Highbet Handicap (Class 6, 3yo+, 0-52) – Surface: Standard | Stalls: Inside
This lightly raced 3yo Advertorial is progressing nicely and has quickly adapted to this track and trip, winning here before finishing second last time out. She’s got a good draw, carries just 8-9, and remains open to improvement at this low level. Hollie Doyle takes the ride again, and she’s the standout class jockey in this line-up. She should sit handy and pounce turning in.
✅ Big positive: Already a winner over course and distance, low weight, and Hollie Doyle on board again.
📌 Alternative: Trusty Scout – Consistent at this level and has won over C&D in the past.
