Below are the details for the specified races and horses, including a concise three-sentence explanation in English for why each horse is likely to win their respective race. The analysis is based on form, trainer/jockey statistics, and race conditions from sources such as The Racing Post and Sporting Life.

Newmarket 01:50 Maltese Cross

Maltese Cross showed promise on debut at Ascot, finishing close without being pushed hard. The Gosden yard’s expertise with Sea The Stars progeny ensures improvement. He’s well-suited to the 7f distance and Newmarket’s track.

Pontefract 02:43 Spanish Waltz

Spanish Waltz benefits from William Haggas’s hot streak with juveniles this season. The step up to 1m suits his stamina and running style. Strong market support and a favourable draw enhance his chances.

Listowel 02:50 Hedas Up

Heads Up thrives in heavy ground, ideal for Listowel’s testing conditions. His recent schooling suggests he’s peaking for this hurdle debut. The trainer’s festival success gives him a tactical edge.

Pontefract 03:53 Gaspacho

Gaspacho’s pedigree screams potential, and her debut hinted at big improvement. The Haggas-Tudhope combination is lethal in novice stakes. She’s bred to handle soft ground, and this 1m trip suits her perfectly.

Newcastle 05:00 Mukhtalif

Mukhtalif’s consistent all-weather form makes him a standout on Newcastle’s Tapeta. First-time blinkers should sharpen his focus in a weaker field. His trainer’s knack for evening cards boosts confidence.
