13:42 Pontefract Tips — Tuesday 21st April 2026

Pontefract’s 13:42 sees **Jolly Good Fellows (EVS)** as a very strong fancy, and with good reason. The Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole yard continues to impress, and they’ve clearly got this one primed for a big run. His last outing, where he finished a strong third, showcased both his progressive nature and ability to compete in decent company. That performance suggests he’s knocking on the door and ready to go two places better today.

The 'Good' ground at Pontefract is ideal for him, promising a fair test where he can utilise his stride effectively. At Even Money, he’s priced to win, reflecting the confidence surrounding his chances, and he certainly looks to be the horse to beat here. He’s a well-backed favourite for a reason and should justify that market support.

For those looking for an each-way punt, **Sea Mirage** offers an interesting alternative. This horse has shown glimmers of potential that suggest he could outrun his odds and snag a place, making him a smart pick to cover the each-way angle in what should be a cracking contest.
