17:35 Thirsk Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 0.53/1 (1) OH SO CHARMING and Built are the strongest contenders with 5/1 (2) DEVIL'S KINGDOM and 11/1 (6) DREAMING SPIRES also having a chance. 7/1 (4) OWNERS DREAM and 33/1 (5) THE MALTON MAULER are unlikely to be in the top three. It's difficult to predict 25/1 (3) KITTEN'S BAY's performance as it will be its debut and the market will be the best guide for its chances. 1st: 0.53/1 (1) OH SO CHARMING 2nd: Built 3rd: 5/1 (2) DEVIL'S KINGDOM

OH SO CHARMING, who was a respectable third when introduced over C&D last August, is hard to oppose given how comfortably he won subsequently. The son of Charm Spirit obviously learnt plenty from his debut because he blitzed his rivals in a decent looking novice stakes at Redcar. Returning to familiar surroundings is a sound move and a follow-up success is a distinct possibility. Devil's Kingdom rates as the main danger, although Dreaming Spires could figure with a step forward.

It's likely we haven't seen the best of OH SO CHARMING yet and he is taken to make a winning reappearance. Owners Dream is also open to improvement and may provide the chief threat.

If OH SO CHARMING's issues with the stalls are behind him this looks a good opportunity for him to kick off his 3yo campaign with a win.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
