PONTEFRACT makes a belated start to its season tomorrow.

The first meeting at the course had been due to be held on Tuesday, but, because all racing was cancelled as a mark of respect to the Queen Mother's funeral, the fixture will now be held tomorrow instead.

Kieren Fallon won't be complaining. The champion jockey has been booked to ride In Disguise for John Dunlop and the pair look set to record a win in the Yorkshire Racing Club Median Auction Maiden Stakes.

In Disguise ran a cracking race in a handicap at Doncaster last month when chasing home Manorson. Back in maiden company here, he should be able to go one better.

Newmarket trainer Michael Jarvis has strong claims in the £10,000 High-Rise Classified Stakes with Kayseri.

The three-year-old progressed nicely last season, winding-up with a maiden race success over this course and distance. He looks the type to do well this term.

Tedstale, another previous course and distance winner, should not be overlooked in the Pontefract Park Handicap.

Tim Easterby's charge has every chance of adding to his tally of wins this season and he comes from a yard in solid form.

Channel 4 cameras will be covering four live races from Haydock, where the £24,000 Field Marshal Stakes takes pride of place.

This five furlongs dash looks a good opportunity for Prince Cyrano to start the season on a winning note, following a good juvenile campaign, which included a Group 3 placing.

John Dunlop has few peers when it comes to placing three-year-olds and his Keetchy makes plenty of appeal in the discover-racing.com Rated Handicap.

Pat Eddery's mount showed promise in his three starts last term and looks nicely weighted in his first handicap. He is awarded the nap vote.

Kevin Darley, who rode a winner at Musselburgh yesterday, should enjoy a good ride on Broadway Score, well-regarded by trainer John Hills, in the Key 103 Classified Stakes, while Inch Perfect should not be far away in the Tote Ten To Follow Handicap, following his recent pipe-opener at Catterick.

Over the sticks at Ascot, the first three races will be televised on BBC1.
