1	7 1st (7) (4.5/1 -29%) We'renotreallyhere		4.5 4.5/1(-29%)																															(7) We'renotreallyhere 4.5/1, Shed maiden tag when making all at Catterick (6f) in April. Below form fifth of 12 in handicap (5/1) at Doncaster (6f, soft) 12 days ago, weakening final 1f having been unable to dominate. No surprise to see a better showing. Made it 12th time lucky at Cattterick last month; only fifth since but could bounce back.
2	1 2nd (1) (3.5/1 +30%) Honour Your Dreams		3.5 3.5/1(+30%)																															(1) Honour Your Dreams 3.5/1, 13/2, fifth of 6 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft) 14 days ago, weakening final 100 yds. Return to sprinting rates a plus on that evidence and underfoot conditions will hold no fears now operating from career-low mark. 6f maiden win last summer but drawn blank in handicaps since.
3	8 3rd (8) (9/1 +36%) Nightout		9 9/1(+36%)																															(8) Nightout 9/1, Went close on a couple of occasions during second half of last year but ended the campaign with a below par display and similarly well held returning from 6 months off when last of 11 in handicap at Ripon (6f) soft 3 weeks ago. Needs to leave that in his wake to feature. Some promise at 2 but well held behind Jack Of Clubs last month.
4	6 4th (6) (2.12/1 +47%) Jack Of Clubs		2.12 2.12/1(+47%)																															(6) Jack Of Clubs 2.12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Bit below form fifth of 11 in handicap at Ripon (6f, soft, 17/2) 21 days ago, doing best of those on unfavoured stand-side rail. Remains low-mileage and represents a yard amongst the winners so he's one to bear in mind. Better than result on handicap debut latest and yard going well now; respected.
5th	5 5th (5) (6.5/1 +24%) One Of Our Own		6.5 6.5/1(+24%)																															(5) One Of Our Own 6.5/1, Fair maiden. Fourth of 7 in novice event at Southwell (6.1f, 7/2) 32 days ago, weakening over 1f out. Makes handicap debut. Several close calls last year but not at best in two AW runs this spring; revival needed.
6th	3 6th (3) (12/1 -200%) Global Crisis		12 12/1(-200%)																															(3) Global Crisis 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 100/1, fared better than previously when fifth of 11 in novice event at Doncaster (6f, heavy) 13 days ago, weakened last ½f. Makes handicap debut now and feasible to think he can do better again. Anoter to note in the betting for clues. Better with each start but will need that trend to continue to overcome tough opening mark.
7th	2 7th (2) (12/1 -20%) Run Cmc		12 12/1(-20%)																															(2) Run Cmc 12/1, Off the mark at third attempt in a Mussleburgh maiden (5f) last June but unable to build on that in 3 subsequent outings last summer, well held in class 2 York nursery 97f) on final outing in August. Interesting to see what the market makes of him on return. 5f maiden win last June but failed to build on it after; been off 266 days.
8th	4 8th (4) (22/1 -38%) Princess Savannah		22 22/1(-38%)																															(4) Princess Savannah 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable fourth of 9 in maiden (11/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f), well positioned. Off 8 months. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Has work to do. Some promise at 2; sports cheekpieces for this handicap debut/return; check betting.

LTO Selection:

18:10 Thirsk Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Based on the information provided, it is difficult to confidently predict which horse will do well in the race. However, 4/1 (6) JACK OF CLUBS and 3.5/1 (7) WE'RENOTREALLYHERE seem to have some potential for improvement and are worth keeping in mind. As for the horses that will finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, it is impossible to accurately predict without further information or knowledge of the horses' past performances.

PRINCESS SAVANNAH is a likely candidate for top honours in this company as she starts her season off a competitive mark. She signed off her first campaign with a fourth over 7f at Wolverhampton, but she is a half-sister to three winners over this trip and the application of cheekpieces could sharpen her up for her return. Jack Of Clubs and Honour Your Dreams look the chief dangers to the selection, although We'renotreallyhere is dangerous to underestimate.

It could just pay to side with HONOUR YOUR DREAMS. Having run well on his seasonal bow at Newcastle, he didn't convince tackling the extended 7f trip at Beverley on his latest outing 2 weeks ago and, returned to sprinting, it would come as no surprise to see him fare better from this career-low mark. We'renotreallyhere and Jack of Clubs head up the dangers.

With the Michael Dods team going well now the vote goes to JACK OF CLUBS, who was first home on his side at Ripon last time.

1	4 1st (4) (1.5/1 +8%) William Dewhirst		1.5 1.5/1(+8%)																															(4) William Dewhirst 1.5/1, Much improved from debut when second of 9 in minor event at Pontefract (6f, heavy, 10/1) 30 days ago, just failing. Can continue his progress to get off the mark this time around. Left AW debut fourth behind when narrowly denied at Pontefract last month; leading claims.
2	9 2nd (9) (33/1 -230%) Happier		33 33/1(-230%)																															(9) Happier 33/1, Showed a bit on debut when sixth of 15 in minor event at Redcar (6f, good to soft) 7 days ago, late headway without being knocked about. Could do better with her first run behind her. 18-1, promise when seventh of 15 on recent Redcar debut but Aclaim To Fame ahead in second.
3	1 3rd (1) (50/1 +24%) Malinheadsearovers		50 50/1(+24%)																															(1) Malinheadsearovers 50/1, With hood applied, went backwards from his first run when ninth of 14 in minor event at Redcar (7f, good to soft, 66/1) in October. Best watched on return from 7 months off. Definite signs of ability on first of two starts last year but likely more one for h'caps.
4	3 4th (3) (14/1 +58%) Whiskey Priest		14 14/1(+58%)																															(3) Whiskey Priest 14/1, €10,000 yearling, £30,000 2-y-o, Dandy Man gelding. Dam unraced. Watch for market clues. Yard has couple of quite useful 3yo sprinters so a market move would be interesting.
5th	6 5th (6) (4.5/1 -35%) Aclaim To Fame		4.5 4.5/1(-35%)																															(6) Aclaim To Fame 4.5/1, Upped in trip, improved from her first outing when second of 15 in minor event at Redcar (6f, good to soft, 5/1) 7 days ago. Merits consideration. Stepped up on 5f course debut when second at Redcar (6f) a week ago; on premises again.
6th	5 6th (5) (1.88/1 +37%) Leap Day		1.88 1.88/1(+37%)																															(5) Leap Day 1.88/1, Ran to similar level as on debut (still green) when third of 11 in minor event at Doncaster (6f, heavy, 8/1) 13 days ago. Can be thereabouts once again. Fair form when third in 6f novices on AW/soft turf this spring; prominent showing likely.
7th	7 7th (7) (66/1 +0%) Selby's Joy		66 66/1(+0%)																															(7) Selby's Joy 66/1, Still needed experience when ninth of 15 in minor event at Redcar (6f, good to soft, 150/1) 7 days ago. Needs another run for a mark. Only minor promise so far, finishing well behind Aclaim To Fame at Redcar last week.
8th	10 8th (10) (125/1 -213%) Missmimi		125 125/1(-213%)																															(10) Missmimi 125/1, 13,000 gns yearling, Equiano filly. Closely related to useful winner up to 1m Rubirosa and 6f winner Harbour Road. Dam German 7f winner. Related to plenty of winners but her stable isn't known for first-time-out scorers.
9th	8 9th (8) (10/1 -43%) Trickledown		10 10/1(-43%)																															(8) Trickledown 10/1, £32,000 yearling, Bated Breath filly. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Junius Brutus. Leading yard capable of readying a newcomer. Newcomer from a good stable; betting should help guide to expectations.

18:40 Thirsk Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

1st: 1.63/1 (4) WILLIAM DEWHIRST, 2nd: 3.33/1 (6) ACLAIM TO FAME, 3rd: 3/1 (5) LEAP DAY.

William Dewhirst showed promise when just denied at Pontefract but, despite helping to set a decent standard, he was five and a half lengths behind LEAP DAY when they encountered each other at Newcastle in March and Tim Easterby's gelding is the logical one to be with. The son of Gregorian wasn't beaten far when switched to turf at Doncaster recently and another step forward can see him break his maiden. Aclaim To Fame completes the shortlist.

WILLIAM DEWHIRST showed much improved form when runner-up at Pontefract last month, losing out only on the nod having finished strongly, and he can go one better with further progress to come. Leap Day has placed on both of his starts so far and is feared most, ahead of Aclaim To Fame.

There should be more to come from recent Pontefract second WILLIAM DEWHIRST, who can make it third time lucky.

1	6 1st (6) (3.33/1 -11%) Robert Johnson		3.33 3.33/1(-11%)																															(6) Robert Johnson 3.33/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. Career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Catterick (12.1f, soft, 33/1) 15 days ago by ½ length from Turbulent Power, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Player if in same form. Came from back to collar Turbulent Power late on at Catterick last month; claims up 4lb.
2	8 2nd (8) (1.62/1 +51%) Turbulent Power		1.62 1.62/1(+51%)																															(8) Turbulent Power 1.62/1, Runner-up at Catterick on her last 2 starts, collared only close home by Robert Johnson there (12.1f, soft) 15 days ago. Run of race suited that rival well last time and there's every chance she can turn tables on better terms here. Two good seconds at Catterick this spring, latterly to Robert Johnson; should go well.
3	7 3rd (7) (8/1 -7%) Jamil		8 8/1(-7%)																															(7) Jamil 8/1, Winner on the Flat at Catterick early last year and was in process of running well when falling late in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (16.9f, soft) 43 days ago. Has good chance here if none the worse. Won on Flat last spring; fit from hurdling (running well when fell latest); chance.
4	9 4th (9) (16/1 +20%) Chief Craftsman		16 16/1(+20%)																															(9) Chief Craftsman 16/1, Sole win from 26 Flat runs came over C&D in 2020. Below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 33/1). Off 6 months. Cheekpieces back on. Others more persuasive. C&D winner in 2020 but 1-27 overall and largely struggled last year.
5th	10 5th (10) (80/1 -21%) Cassiel		80 80/1(-21%)																															(10) Cassiel 80/1, Poor maiden handicapper. Eighth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 66/1). Off 113 days. Must improve. No major impact on AW over the winter and others are preferred again.
6th	3 6th (3) (11/1 +21%) The New Marwan		11 11/1(+21%)																															(3) The New Marwan 11/1, Latest win at Chester in July. Eleventh of 12 in handicap (17/2) at Newcastle (10.2f). Off 6 months. Others make more appeal. Ran well on last year's reappearance and returns on a winning mark.
7th	4 7th (4) (33/1 +0%) A Shining Moon		33 33/1(+0%)																															(4) A Shining Moon 33/1, Had breathing operation after showing little over hurdles and went with no encouragement when last of 10 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 37 days ago. Hard to fancy at present. Well beaten over hurdles for this yard over winter and fared no better back on Flat latest.
8th	1 8th (1) (9/1 -13%) Sophar Sogood		9 9/1(-13%)																															(1) Sophar Sogood 9/1, Continued to fall in weights without showing any sign of taking advanatge last term and others make more appeal. Fair run over 2m here last summer; probably best watched over shorter trip on return.
9th	5 9th (5) (28/1 +15%) Alhabor		28 28/1(+15%)																															(5) Alhabor 28/1, Sold cheaply out of Alan King's yard and has shown very little in a pair of outings for current connections, so rates as easily opposable. Offered little for Alan King and similar story for new yard.
10th	2 10th (2) (6/1 -71%) Yellow Bear		6 6/1(-71%)																															(2) Yellow Bear 6/1, Course winner. Kept on in laboured fashion when fourth of 14 in handicap at Wetherby (8f, good to soft, 9/1) 11 days ago. Looks competitive on form but significantly longer trip poses a new question. 1m course winner; fair fourth at Wetherby (1m again) latest but much longer trip now.

19:10 Thirsk Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

1st - 3.33/1 (8) TURBULENT POWER 2nd - 3/1 (6) ROBERT JOHNSON 3rd - 14/1 (3) THE NEW MARWAN

The key piece of form to focus on in this contest could be ROBERT JOHNSON holding Turbulent Power by half a length over this trip at Catterick. Phil Kirby's gelding is 2lb worse off, but he looked well on top despite drifting left at the finish and is fancied to confirm his superiority. The New Marwan is now 3lb lower than his last winning mark and is of interest returning from a break.

TURBULENT POWER arrives here in good heart after a brace of second-placed efforts at Catterick and she's fancied to turn the tables with Robert Johnson, who took advantage of a pace collapse to nail her close home last time. Jamil appeals as being on a fair mark back on the Flat and is another to keep an eye on.

A 2lb swing in the weights might be enough for TURBULENT POWER to turn around last month's Catterick form with Robert Johnson.

1	5 1st (5) (2.5/1 +29%) It Just Takes Time		2.5 2.5/1(+29%)																															(5) It Just Takes Time 2.5/1, Won 4 times last year, including at this course (7f) in June. Stepped up on his reappearance when third of 10 in handicap at Wetherby (5.5f, good to soft, 9/2) 11 days ago. Respected. Four wins in 2022, including here; fair third at Wetherby recently; should go well.
2	6 2nd (6) (9/1 +18%) Music Society		9 9/1(+18%)																															(6) Music Society 9/1, Successful at Catterick in October. After 6 months off, never a threat when thirteenth of 16 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to soft, 40/1) 22 days ago. Needs to find more with his reappearance behind him. Ended 2022 with a win but well held on reappearance; best watched again.
3	4 3rd (4) (1.25/1 +17%) Indian Creak		1.25 1.25/1(+17%)																															(4) Indian Creak 1.25/1, A fortnight on from his first start of the season, back to form when making all in 6-runner handicap at Windsor (6f, soft, 5/2) 10 days ago. He's 2 lb well-in under a penalty and can follow up. Better than ever when readily making all at Windsor last week; good shout under penalty.
4	8 4th (8) (8/1 -23%) Baba Reza		8 8/1(-23%)																															(8) Baba Reza 8/1, After 7 months, ninth of 10 in handicap at Wetherby (5.5f, good to soft, 13/2) 11 days ago. However, ran better on his second start last year and he's an interesting contender with cheekpieces on 1st time. Placed over C&D last year but well held on recent return; cheekpieces go on.
5th	2 5th (2) (6.5/1 +28%) Snash		6.5 6.5/1(+28%)																															(2) Snash 6.5/1, C&D winner last summer. Back on track when fifth of 12 in handicap at Haydock (6f, heavy, 22/1) on his final outing last year. Capable of getting involved if ready to go after 6 months off. C&D win last June; resumes off same mark as when winning at Ayr later in summer.
6th	1 6th (1) (18/1 +0%) Digital		18 18/1(+0%)																															(1) Digital 18/1, Has finished down the field both starts this year, twelfth of 15 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, soft, 25/1) 11 days ago. Is dropping in the weights but has a bit to prove at present. Chance on some 2022 form but his two runs this month have been disappointing.
7th	3 7th (3) (40/1 -150%) Kalganov		40 40/1(-150%)																															(3) Kalganov 40/1, Useful performer in France but well held both starts for current yard, twelfth of 14 in handicap at Haydock (1m, good, 80/1) in September. Drops in trip on his return from 7 months off (has been gelded). Useful in France but well held in two runs for this yard last year; down in trip on return.

19:40 Thirsk Handicap (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

3.5/1 (5) IT JUST TAKES TIME is the most likely to do well based on the summary. 6.5/1 (8) BABA REZA and 1.63/1 (4) INDIAN CREAK could also be in contention for 2nd and 3rd place.

INDIAN CREAK struck by three and a half lengths at Windsor last week, for which he has a 5lb penalty. The six-year-old is 2lb well-in, though, and scored off this mark last summer, which shows he could still be feasibly treated. The main danger might be Snash, who is more than capable at this level and should be considered with C&D form to his name from June last year. It Just Takes Time completes the shortlist.

With his reappearance behind him, INDIAN CREAK bounced back to form when making all in good style at Windsor 10 days ago and he can follow up under a penalty. It Just Takes Time thrived last year and is respected as he goes back up to 6f, while Baba Reza could show more with cheekpieces on first time.

With form and peak fitness doubts surrounding a few of these this might be a good opportunity for INDIAN CREAK to strike again.

1	1 1st (1) (1.88/1 -88%) Sparks Fly		1.88 1.88/1(-88%)																															(1) Sparks Fly 1.88/1, Promising sort. Much improved when scoring at Windsor (8.1f) last month and followed up with the minimum of fuss over the same C&D (soft) 10 days ago. 6 lb penalty may not prevent the hat-trick. Two comfortable 1m wins at Windsor lately and taken to complete a hat-trick.
2	4 2nd (4) (14/1 +13%) Sea In The Dark		14 14/1(+13%)																															(4) Sea In The Dark 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 14/1, seventh of 11 in minor event at this course (7f, soft). Off 8 months. Improvement required on handicap debut. Switches to handicaps after eight months off; yard also runs Hale End; check betting.
3	2 3rd (2) (8/1 +43%) Rievaulx Raver		8 8/1(+43%)																															(2) Rievaulx Raver 8/1, Fifth of 8 in handicap (8/1) at Redcar (10f, heavy) 24 days ago. Back down in trip. Others look better treated. 1m Ripon novice win last year but hard to get excited by recent handicap efforts.
4	5 4th (5) (3.5/1 +22%) Hale End		3.5 3.5/1(+22%)																															(5) Hale End 3.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 9/2, first run since leaving Richard Hannon when good third of 12 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Entitled to build on that. Sound start for new yard when third of 12 at Beverley last month; claims.
5th	3 5th (3) (2.75/1 +8%) Yeoman		2.75 2.75/1(+8%)																															(3) Yeoman 2.75/1, Upped his game when making a winning handicap debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 16 days ago. 3 lb rise fair and will be a big player if reproducing that form on turf. Winning handicap debut on AW 16 days ago and likely capable of better again; respected.
6th	6 6th (6) (10/1 +29%) Valstar		10 10/1(+29%)																															(6) Valstar 10/1, Still looking for first success but posted creditable second of 4 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, soft) on return 12 days ago, albeit flattered by proximity to winner. Not out of things. Creditable second of four on Doncaster return but it doesn't look strong form.

20:10 Thirsk Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well. However, from the descriptions given, 1.1/1 (1) SPARKS FLY seems to be in good form, having won two races at Windsor recently, and is likely to complete a hat-trick. 3/1 (3) YEOMAN is also described as a promising and capable horse, having won his handicap debut on AW 16 days ago and likely to perform well on turf. As for the third place, it is difficult to predict, but 14/1 (6) VALSTAR may have a chance based on the creditable second place finish in the recent Doncaster race.

SPARKS FLY has been a revelation since switched to the turf and the hat-trick looks very much on the cards following a pair of comfortable victories at Windsor. The daughter of Muhaarar should have too much for Yeoman, who got off the mark on his handicap debut at Wolverhampton last month. An eyecatcher on his first run for Michael Dods at Beverley, Hale End cannot be ruled out either.

SPARKS FLY has looked a different proposition since upped in trip and switched to turf. She should take the beating here. Hale End made a good start for his new yard at Beverley last month and is feared most.

David Loughnane's SPARKS FLY (nap) has relished the mud when scoring twice at Windsor this spring and looks good for a quick hat-trick.

1	10 1st (10) (3.5/1 -17%) Ey Up Its Jazz		3.5 3.5/1(-17%)																															(10) Ey Up Its Jazz 3.5/1, Career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Leicester (6f, heavy) 12 days ago, digging deep. Still not long with this yard and can make his presence felt from 3 lb higher mark. Off the mark at the eighth attempt when strong in the finish over 6f at Leicester (soft)..

Respected on return from 7-month break. Ended last season in decent form and on a competitive mark if returning in similar shape..
3	5 3rd (5) (25/1 -213%) Dandys Gold		25 25/1(-213%)																															(5) Dandys Gold 25/1, Capitalised on reduced mark to end losing run at Ayr (6f) last June. Shaped as if needing run when ninth of 12 in handicap (11/1) at Doncaster (6f, soft) 12 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Struggled on the AW this winter and the same again on her return to turf only 12 days ago..
4	4 4th (4) (10/1 +9%) La Feile		10 10/1(+9%)																															(4) La Feile 10/1, Won at Redcar in July but ended season with very poor effort at Pontefract (6f, good to soft, 40/1). Off 6 months. Market may act as best guide as to what can be expected on return (won first time out as a juvenile). Last year ended disappointingly but she could bounce back and handles soft ground..
5th	6 5th (6) (4.5/1 -29%) Bold Territories		4.5 4.5/1(-29%)																															(6) Bold Territories 4.5/1, Ran respectably when fourth of 11 in handicap at Redcar (7f, heavy) 24 days ago. Entitled to strip fitter now and is expected to be bang there having edged back down in weights. Off a fair mark he ran a good first race back behind race-fit opposition at Redcar..
6th	8 6th (8) (4/1 +67%) Elladora		4 4/1(+67%)																															(8) Elladora 4/1, Exposed sort who has made a good start to the season, runner-up at Newcastle on return before going one better at Southwell. Out of depth at Musselburgh last time but should give another good account in this company. Well beaten at Musselburgh 11 days ago but that was a Class 4 contest..
7th	14 7th (14) (25/1 +38%) Perfect Soldier		25 25/1(+38%)																															(14) Perfect Soldier 25/1, In frame at Newcastle 3 starts ago but has struggled in handicaps since. Cheekpieces back on. Others have achieved more. Only notable AW effort this year came in a classified race; others are stronger..
8th	12 8th (12) (14/1 -17%) Ebury		14 14/1(-17%)																															(12) Ebury 14/1, Two wins from 43 Flat runs. Thirty nine runs since last win in 2019. Left with little chance under tactics when tenth at Beverley last time but others are more persuasive overall. Only 2-43; never counted after a slow start when tried in a visor at Beverley..
9th	1 9th (1) (8/1 +20%) Sezaam		8 8/1(+20%)																															(1) Sezaam 8/1, Disappointing last season but stepped back in right direction when fifth of 15 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, heavy, 50/1) 30 days ago. Something to find on form nonetheless. Well handicapped on some of his slow-ground form in 2021; return was encouraging..
10th	2 10th (2) (20/1 -43%) Magical Effect		20 20/1(-43%)																															(2) Magical Effect 20/1, C&D winner. 14/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Catterick (7f, heavy) 29 days ago, never travelling well Cheekpieces back on. Needs a couple of these to falter. An 11yo now and he was well behind on his reappearance..
11th	3 11th (3) (12/1 +0%) Asmund		12 12/1(+0%)																															(3) Asmund 12/1, Shaped as if needing run on return and perhaps found race coming too son when twelfth of 17 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, heavy) 13 days ago but others make more appeal overall. Capable at this trip but quiet so far this campaign and best watched for now..
12th	9 12th (9) (28/1 +15%) Brunello Breeze		28 28/1(+15%)																															(9) Brunello Breeze 28/1, Fair maiden handicapper at best but seemingly lost his way midway through last season and recent efforts have been no more positive. Disappointing since going close off a 10lb higher mark 12 months ago..
13th	7 13th (7) (18/1 -13%) Copper Mountain		18 18/1(-13%)																															(7) Copper Mountain 18/1, Won at Wetherby early last year but failed to impact on AW over the weinter and ran no sort of race on return to turf at Musselburgh last time. Tongue strap applied but hard to have faith in. Fine on soft ground and is respected with a tongue-tie new this time..
14th	13 14th (13) (80/1 -21%) Elettaria		80 80/1(-21%)																															(13) Elettaria 80/1, Essentially remains with little form, having left Clive Cox late last year. Saddle slipped last time, so run best excused, but needs to show more to figure. Ex-Clive Cox, whom she left for 4,500gns; no better than 7th in three runs for this yard..

20:45 Thirsk Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

1st - 3/1 (10) EY UP ITS JAZZ 2nd - 3.5/1 (6) BOLD TERRITORIES 3rd - 12/1 (8) ELLADORA

The Michael Dods stable is beginning to click into gear and BOLD TERRITORIES must hold every chance after a solid return effort at Redcar last month. The five-year-old remains on a feasible mark and he gets the vote ahead of stablemate Sezaam and Ey Up Its Jazz, who was a taking winner at Leicester last time out. Veteran C&D winner Magical Effect and Josiebond are expected to be thereabouts as well.

BOLD TERRITORIES won 3 times last season and made the frame at Redcar on his return, so narrowly gets the vedict here with the benefit of race fitness. Ey Up Its Jazz has made a positive start to life for his now yard and should go close to following up his recent Leicester success, with Elladora and Josiebond others with solid place claims.

The one who appeals most is BOLD TERRITORIES, who ran a pleasing first race back when fourth behind race-fit opposition at Redcar.
