Pontefract Race 2 - Boyzlife Live At Ponte Friday 22Nd May Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)
ARABIAN DESERT (4) aims to turn two runner-up finishes into a win after losing by a neck placing second in a York maiden to then fill the same spot contesting the G3 Horris Hill Stakes at Newbury. Dangerous down in grade. HAAYIMM (6) managed a respectable third on only career start so far trying a Beverley novice race during September. Can improve for the run providing initial attempt this year. SEATTLE CHIEF (8) failed to place delivering first two career appearances including when sixth at Southwell AW last time. More is needed. CLOUGH (2) is the only debutant in the field. Bred by Mastercraftsman out of Tantalising. Worth considering.

Four-year-old gelding (Mastercraftsman - Tantalising) making his debut. Capable of a cheeky run.

Second run back. First-up after 11 months 4th in a small field at Newcastle All Weather on March 21 over 1400m, 11 len behind Recency Bias with 58kg at $151. Previously second-up won by 4 len at Askham Bryan College March 30 2025 over 4800m defeating Titanium Bullet with 73kg. Others look to have a bit more upside and looking elsewhere.

Resuming. Finished off last preparation second of 7 at Newbury in the G3 Horris Hill Stakes October 25 over 1400m, soft track; 2.25 len behind Time To Turn with 58kg at $17.

Returns from a 56-day let-up. Last start 4th in a small field at Newcastle All Weather on February 10 over 2500m, 13 len behind Wicksey carrying 54kg at $8.50. The start before that second last of 7 at Wolverhampton on January 6 over 1700m, 12 len behind Sovereign Wealth carrying 51.5kg at $13. Looking to others.

Resuming after a lengthy spell. Only one run when sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 8 at Beverley on September 23 over 1700m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Mariotto carrying 60.5kg at $2.90. Looks sure to return in top order.

Having third race start. At long odds at debut, 4th of 7 at Wolverhampton on March 17 over 1700m, 11 len behind Nobody Knows with 57kg at $26. Second-up 5th of 11 at Southwell All Weather on March 26 over 1600m, 17 len behind Crest Of Fire carrying 56.5kg at $23. Doesn't appeal.
