Timeform Daily: Tuesday, Pontefract 16:15

Pontefract's 2013 season gets underway on Tuesday.

Timeform analyse one of the races at Pontefract's first meeting of the 2013 Flat season...

Kingsdesire won first 2 starts and not disgraced when runner-up in a couple of small-field minor events subsequently, though rather exposing his limitations. Bombed out in handicap in Dubai in January.

Fluidity was much improved when winning 9.5f Gowran handicap final start in 2012 for Ger Lyons. Big rise in the weights to overcome starting out in Britain for new yard now.

Easy Terms won 6 of 7 starts in handicaps from April 2011 before tailed off in Old Newton Cup at Haydock when last seen last summer. Gone well fresh, so not discounted if raring to go on return.

Hit The Jackpot won 8.5f Galway maiden in July 2011 for Dermot Weld. Raced in better company last spring and not seen to best effect in the Lincoln for new yard. Worth keeping on side this season.

Spanish Duke was hard to catch right for John Dunlop but contested some good races after winning valuable 1m handicap at Epsom on 2011 return. Headgear on starting out for new yard and market check a must.

Moccasin won 1m maiden in France last spring and held form well in defeat after. Should stay this far and could have more to come for new yard this term.

Sirvino is a classy handicapper who posted some sound efforts to his name without winning in 2012. Has dropped to a lenient mark ahead of return and gone well here in the past. Bold bid looks forthcoming.

Silvery Moon looked better than ever in 2012, winning handicaps at Ayr and Doncaster in the summer. Dropped back to last successful mark on return and yard had first and second (dead-heaters) in this last year.

Las Verglas Star was successful in small-field handicap over C&D in September under this rider. Should have come on for his 2 runs this term and building up to a bigger effort.

Warlu Way wasn't so hot last season for John Dunlop but been given a chance by the handicapper. May need firmer ground and no obvious good record fresh, but new yard likely to find key to him.

Licence To Till is a C&D winner who struck twice early last season. On a potentially good mark if raring to go on return.

Lady Loch confirmed promise shown in maidens in handicaps last year, scoring twice with headgear fitted. May have more to offer in 2013. Yard also runs Las Verglas Star.

Timeform 1-2-3:
1. Sirvino
2. Licence To Till
3. Silvery Moon

Timeform Verdict: Sirvino has dropped to a good mark and can make a successful reappearance. Licence To Till is on a potentially good mark on his return, while Silvery Moon could feature for Tim Easterby who had the first and second in this last year.
