Allonsy takes Listed honours in Pontefract feature
This season she had struggled at Goodwood and York, but she went into this Listed contest as the highest-rated in the field and fought out the finish with Karmology, who brought the second-highest figure. Hector Crouch on the 7-1 chance ranged up alongside Karl Burke's mare inside the final furlong and eventually got on top to win by a neck. Beckett's Meribella was third. Crouch told Racing TV: 'It looked a nice race for her, she'd been pushed in at the deep end in Group Three company so to drop back into Listed class and get her head in front was very important for her owner/breeder. 'She's extremely hardy. Once we got her figured out in her three-year-old career she did nothing but improve and she finished second in a Listed race at Ascot at the back-end of last year. 'She was a little bit frustrating last year until we switched to riding her really prominently, she's grown up quite a lot now and you don't have to ride her quite as forwards. 'We can go back up in grade now to see if she can gain more black type for her family, we've nothing to lose.'

Horse racing tips: ‘There's a huge performance in him' – Templegate's 10-3 NAP poised for a big one
TEMPLEGATE takes on Thursday's racing confident of banging in some winners. Back a horse by clicking their odds below. BLUE DAY (Haydock 3.47, nap) The Harry Charlton-trained sprinter relished the drop back to five furlongs when winning with plenty in hand at Ascot last month. A 6lb rise is unlikely to anchor him and he gave the impression there was an even bigger performance in him. He's drawn on the wing of the field in stall one but Hector Crouch rides this track well and should be able to drop in early and get a perfect tow into the race. Clocked a fast time when runner-up to a potential group performer over track and trip last month. She sets a very good standard the others have to reach. HANDLETHEKETTLE (2.05 Ffos Las, treble) He enjoyed a nice confidence boost over hurdles at Taunton and has the scope to do even better over fences.
