10	10 (10) (11/1 -47%) Extra Beat		11 11/1(-47%)																															(10) Extra Beat 11/1, Displayed promise in novice events and took a marked step forward on those exploits when winning 5-runner handicap at Haydock (10.2f, soft, 3/1) 23 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Cheekpieces reached for now and possibilities over this longer trip nudged up 4 lb. Won on handicap debut at Haydock last month; steps up another 2f in tougher race..
1	2 1st (2) (9/2 +10%) Align The Stars		4.5 9/2(+10%)																															(2) Align The Stars 9/2, Sea The Stars colt who finished runner-up on first 2 starts in handicaps and unsuited by small-field scenario when third of 4 in handicap (11/8) at Hamilton (11.1f, good to firm) 14 days ago, staying on. Return 1½m looks sure to suit and he remains with potential. Yet to win but has finished second four times; his turn will surely come..
2	7 2nd (7) (10/1 +29%) Hampden		10 10/1(+29%)																															(7) Hampden 10/1, Night Of Thunder gelding who went close to breaking his duck on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (12.2f) in April. Ran below that level back on turf when seventh of 8 in handicap at York (11.8f, good) 31 days ago but too soon to write him off. Headed in the final stride at Wolverhampton in April; not so good back on turf last time..
3	6 3rd (6) (10/3 +45%) Too Bossy For Us		3.333333 10/3(+45%)																															(6) Too Bossy For Us 10/3, Improving son of Golden Horn who built on reappearance promise when winning 8-runner handicap at Ascot (10f, good to firm, 11/2) 36 days ago, asserting last ½f. Longer trip here promises to be within range and one to consider with further progress anticipated. Improved for stepping up to 1m2f when winning on his handicap debut at Ascot last month..
4	9 4th (9) (4/1 +0%) Fox Legacy		4 4/1(+0%)																															(9) Fox Legacy 4/1, Lope De Vega colt who improved on his exploits as a juvenile upped markedly in trip when second of 9 in a Leicester novice (10f) 3 weeks ago. Represents top stable and he looks sure to progress further now handicapping/upped further in trip. Kept on well when second at Leicester on his return last month; makes handicap debut..
5th	3 5th (3) (80/1 -900%) Dunstan		80 80/1(-900%)																															(3) Dunstan 80/1, Landed 4 AW events equipped with a visor since the turn of the year, latterly a Newcastle handicap (12.5f) in March. Out of his depth in Group 3 company on final start for Barry Brennan and this more suitable now starting out for new yard. Recorded a four-timer on AW for previous trainer earlier this year..
6th	5 6th (5) (100/1 -900%) Castle In The Sand		100 100/1(-900%)																															(5) Castle In The Sand 100/1, Fairly useful maiden who ran respectably when fourth of 5 on handicap debut at Chester (10.3f, soft) 22 days ago, weakening final 1f. Needs to pull out a little more now stamina is tested further. Consistent maiden who finished second for the fifth time in a row on penultimate start..
7th	12 7th (12) (66/1 -230%) Roman Secret		66 66/1(-230%)																															(12) Roman Secret 66/1, Improved in line with the step up to 1m late last year, runner-up in a C&D nursery before getting off the mark at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in November. Never figured when seventh of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f) on return 11 days ago. Significantly up in trip now. Won at Wolverhampton last November; raced freely when always behind on reappearance..
8th	11 8th (11) (100/1 -1233%) L'eagle Aid		100 100/1(-1233%)																															(11) L'eagle Aid 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 13/2, good second of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (11.9f, good) 16 days ago, wandering final 1f. Has the ability to get competitive from this sort of mark and he's an each-way player up in class. Placed in two handicaps last month and should not be far away..
9th	8 9th (8) (80/1 -400%) Flickering Halo		80 80/1(-400%)																															(8) Flickering Halo 80/1, Winner at Beverley in May. 14/1, not in same form tackling stronger company when sixth of 7 in handicap at York (10.2f, good) 22 days ago, left behind 3f out. Others make greater appeal. Won at Beverley last month but well held in stronger race at York last time..
10th	1 10th (1) (100/1 -1233%) Victory Shout		100 100/1(-1233%)																															(1) Victory Shout 100/1, Fairly useful winner as a juvenile (at 7.8f) who arrives having finished runner-up on each of his last 2 starts, latterly in 4-runner Hamilton handicap (11f) 2 weeks ago. Fancied to give another good account. Has finished second twice at Hamilton within four days recently; should run well..
11th	4 11th (4) (100/1 -300%) African Spirit		100 100/1(-300%)																															(4) African Spirit 100/1, Lightly-raced winner who returned with a good second in a Southwell novice (7f) in March. Disappointed when twelfth of 13 in handicap (16/1) at Newmarket (8f, good) 61 days ago. Needs to bounce back upped significantly in trip. Decent second at Southwell on reappearance in March but flopped back on turf last time..

17:15 Thirsk Handicap (Class 3) 12f Race Class Flow

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

ALIGN THE STARS (third) and Victory Shout (second) were not disgraced in a tactical race at Hamilton a fortnight ago, but the former was doing his best work in the closing stages and is taken to reverse the form over this slightly longer trip. Dunstan has proven stamina and is also a key player on his debut for Tom Dascombe, while stepping up in distance can also be a source of improvement for Castle In The Sand, who appeals as best of the rest.

TOO BOSSY FOR US continued his theme of race-by-race progress when opening his account at Ascot (10f) 5 weeks ago, the steady gallop probably masking his superiority to a degree. He shades the vote to continue on his upward curve tackling this longer trip. Align The Stars remains the type to do better again and is also of interest, with Extra Beat and Fox Legacy completing the shortlist.

A tough heat but the most unexposed horse here is FOX LEGACY who shaped well on his return. Too Bossy For Us can chase him home.

8	8 (8) (10/1 +9%) Tatterstall		10 10/1(+9%)																															(8) Tatterstall 10/1, 7/2, proved better than ever with a dominant display from the front in 10-runner handicap at Catterick (5f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Up 7 lb and that may not be enough to prevent the follow up. Comfortable win at Catterick eight days ago but a 7lb rise demands another career best.
1	15 1st (15) (6/1 +0%) American Affair		6 6/1(+0%)																															(15) American Affair 6/1, Latest win at Musselburgh in April. Did all he could under the circumstances when second of 15 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to firm, 10/3) 2 weeks ago, keeping on after not clear run from 2f out. Still relatively lightly raced for this yard, he needs considering. Looks an improved performer this year and should be arriving on the scene late.
2	14 2nd (14) (11/1 +31%) Lethal Nymph		11 11/1(+31%)																															(14) Lethal Nymph 11/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Wasn't in the same form as previously when eighth of 14 in handicap at Epsom (5f, good to soft, 9/1) just over 2 weeks ago. Not without each-way hope. Good second at York last month but only midfield in the Dash last time.
3	10 3rd (10) (10/1 -11%) Jer Batt		10 10/1(-11%)																															(10) Jer Batt 10/1, Shaped quite encouragingly after 11 months off when 1½ lengths fourth of 12 to Hiya Maite in handicap at Doncaster (5f, good to firm, 6/1) just over 2 weeks ago. Not taken lightly with that outing under his belt. Progressive at 3 and his return to action at Doncaster was promising; not fully exposed.
4	4 4th (4) (4/1 +33%) Fair Wind		4 4/1(+33%)																															(4) Fair Wind 4/1, Notched a third career success in 10-runner handicap (13/2) at Goodwood (5f, good) just over 3 weeks ago, showing a nice turn of foot to settle matters. Up 6 lb and should give another good account. Settling a bit better this year and turn of foot at Goodwood latest was impressive; solid.
5th	13 5th (13) (18/1 -13%) Burning Cash		18 18/1(-13%)																															(13) Burning Cash 18/1, C&D winner in May. 17/2, ran respectably without threatening to pick up in the same way when 2¼ lengths fifth of 12 to Hiya Maite in handicap at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) just over 2 weeks ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Finished well to win over C&D last month but held by two of these last time; headgear now.
6th	3 6th (3) (40/1 -186%) Changeofmind		40 40/1(-186%)																															(3) Changeofmind 40/1, Broke 2-y-o course record at Chester on sole start as a juvenile and returned from 10-month absence with comfortable success at Catterick last April. Probably in need of the outing after 10 months off and trapped wide throughout from poor draw at Chester recently. More needed. Ran fair bit better than the result suggests at Chester last month; capable of better.
7th	11 7th (11) (33/1 -288%) Looking For Lynda		33 33/1(-288%)																															(11) Looking For Lynda 33/1, Remained in good form when third of 14 in handicap at Epsom (5f, good to soft, 17/2) just over 2 weeks ago, no extra only late on. Fancied to be in the mix for his in-form stable. Four solid runs in handicaps of late and no obvious reason why he won't go well once again.
8th	9 8th (9) (28/1 -100%) Bergerac		28 28/1(-100%)																															(9) Bergerac 28/1, 11/1, never better than mid-field when ninth of 15 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) 2 weeks ago. Cheekpieces back on. Still to fully fire this season, so others look more solid. Well treated and penultimate York run was hugely promising; change of headgear today.
9th	12 9th (12) (40/1 -186%) Ventura Express		40 40/1(-186%)																															(12) Ventura Express 40/1, Finished last season with a decent effort and made a winning return after 8 months off in 6-runner handicap (5/2) at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) 23 days ago, just holding on. Should remain competitive after a small rise. Enhanced his fine Pontefract record on last month's return; 3lb rise in a tougher race now.
10th	7 10th (7) (16/1 -14%) Hiya Maite		16 16/1(-14%)																															(7) Hiya Maite 16/1, 6/1, brought his turf form in line with his best all-weather efforts faced with an ideal test of speed when winning 12-runner handicap at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) 15 days ago, always holding on. He's not an obvious candidate to follow up, however. Back to form with front-running Doncaster win 15 days ago; more required this time.
11th	6 11th (6) (100/1 -100%) Baldomero		100 100/1(-100%)																															(6) Baldomero 100/1, Latest win at Goodwood in May. Produced a rare below-par effort when last of 12 in handicap at Epsom (7f, soft, 22/1) 16 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Back down in trip. Visor back on. Rare blip last time and type to bounce back quickly; sharp 5f looks a worry though.
12th	2 12th (2) (100/1 -614%) Tees Spirit		100 100/1(-614%)																															(2) Tees Spirit 100/1, Prolific in 2022 and having drawn a blank last year (set a few stiff tasks), he returned with a bang when making all in handicap company at Newmarket (5f, good). Ran poorly having raced a bit away from the main group in a listed race at Haydock last week, but this return to handicaps will suit. Both handicap runs this year have been solid; this is weaker; likely to go well.
13th	17 13th (17) (66/1 +0%) Mondammej		66 66/1(+0%)																															(17) Mondammej 66/1, Unreliable individual. Thirty-eight runs since last win in 2021. 33/1, ran poorly when seventeenth of 21 in handicap at York (6f, good) 22 days ago, slowly away. Hood back on. Looks an easy swerve. Plummeting down the weights but with good reason; this a tough race in which to revive.
14th	16 14th (16) (28/1 -100%) Mattice		28 28/1(-100%)																															(16) Mattice 28/1, Latest win at Ripon in May. Remained in good form and did best of the group of 8 to race a little isolated from the rest when fourth of 21 in handicap (12/1) at York (6f, good) 22 days ago. This is tougher. Enjoying a good year but he's up in class today and it may prove beyond him.
15th	1 15th (1) (40/1 -122%) Vintage Clarets		40 40/1(-122%)																															(1) Vintage Clarets 40/1, Enjoyed a very successful 2023 campaign, scoring 4 times over 5f. Followed a good run with a below-par one when seventh of 12 at York (5f, good) just over 3 weeks ago, on the back foot after another tardy start, so needs to bounce back quickly. Better than ever when close 3rd at Chester last month; less good latest; rider's claim a +.
16th	5 16th (5) (66/1 -371%) Intrinsic Bond		66 66/1(-371%)																															(5) Intrinsic Bond 66/1, C&D winner. Shaped as if retaining plenty of ability after 6 months off when seventh of 14 in handicap (20/1) at Haydock (6f, good to firm) 8 days ago, just doing too much. Clearly well handicapped, so he's one to keep a close eye on. C&D winner on a good mark; sharper for last week's return; lively outsider.

17:45 Thirsk Handicap (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

A draw on the stands-side rail can be beneficial for LOOKING FOR LYNDA, who has been threatening to land one of these big-field sprints for a while and a bold showing is expected from the Karl Burke-trained four-year-old. Tees Spirit can also figure strongly if gets a solo on the far side, although Catterick winner Tatterstall is another live-wire when he gets the fractions right. Burning Cash is an each-way contender with first-time cheekpieces added.

An ultra-competitive feature in which the suggestion is TATTERSTALL, who proved better than ever with a dominant display from the front at Catterick last Saturday and a 7 lb rise may not be enough to stop Michael Dods's 4-y-o from going in again. Fair Wind notched his third career success from just a handful of starts at Goodwood last month, so he heads up the dangers, with American Affair, Looking For Lynda and Jer Batt all having plenty going for them, too.

Bergerac should make a bold bid but FAIR WIND (nap) created a big impression at Goodwood and he can go in again.

1	15 1st (15) (9/2 +0%) Letsbefrank		4.5 9/2(+0%)																															(15) Letsbefrank 9/2, Lightly-raced sort who had something to spare when getting off the mark in a 13-runner Hamilton handicap (11f, good to firm) under Amie Waugh 14 days ago. A 6 lb rise doesn't look enough to stop him with further progress on the cards, particularly over this sort of trip. Open to improvement and may be well treated after a 6lb rise, upped in grade; interesting..
2	4 2nd (4) (13/2 +46%) Rathgar		6.5 13/2(+46%)																															(4) Rathgar 13/2, Successful over this trip at Goodwood (heavy) in May and shaped as if still in form when a well-held third of 12 at Salisbury since. 1m6f winner on heavy who has been placed on fast ground; should be a player..
3	5 3rd (5) (100/1 -400%) Artisan Dancer		100 100/1(-400%)																															(5) Artisan Dancer 100/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in February. 9/2, creditable third of 6 over 1½m at Kempton last month and met trouble when recording a rare below-par effort back there since. Multiple AW winner at up to 2m; 0-7 on turf, where his form is a long way below that..
4	14 4th (14) (8/1 +20%) Marbuzet		8 8/1(+20%)																															(14) Marbuzet 8/1, Dual winner over staying trips last term who has recorded creditable runner-up efforts at Catterick and Nottingham in recent weeks. Likely to be in the shake-up again. Second in weaker races on his last two starts; will need to raise his game in this field..
5th	12 5th (12) (16/1 -14%) Kitsune Power		16 16/1(-14%)																															(12) Kitsune Power 16/1, Useful at his peak for Roger Varian and left his first 2 efforts for this yard behind when third of 7 over 1½m here 9 days ago. Needs to build on that now. Third off a hold-up ride here latest; bit to prove over this far and wouldn't want rain..
6th	8 6th (8) (66/1 -560%) Churchella		66 66/1(-560%)																															(8) Churchella 66/1, Recorded a third win of the year when opening her turf account in 10-runner handicap at Doncaster (14.5f) last month. Creditable fourth back there since despite a steadily-run race not bringing her stamina into play. Respected. Thriving at present and, unlike some, probably better served if this surface remains sound.
7th	13 7th (13) (20/1 -67%) Valley Of Flowers		20 20/1(-67%)																															(13) Valley Of Flowers 20/1, Progressed well in 2023 and started her 2024 campaign in positive fashion when second of 7 over 2m at Nottingham last month. Has to enter the reckoning. Hat-trick last season at up to 16.5f; showed last month that she remains competitive..
8th	1 8th (1) (40/1 -233%) Hope You Can Run		40 40/1(-233%)																															(1) Hope You Can Run 40/1, Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Newmarket (1¾m, good to firm) last month but not in the same form when only eighth of 12 to Dark Moon Rising at Hamilton since. 1m6f winner who was beaten over 8l at Hamilton (1m5f, good) latest; more needed..
9th	3 9th (3) (11/1 -120%) Dark Moon Rising		11 11/1(-120%)																															(3) Dark Moon Rising 11/1, Bounced back to form with a bang in refitted blinkers when winning 12-runner handicap (28/1) at Hamilton (13f, good to firm) 14 days ago, digging deep. His overall record would suggest he's no good thing to build on that. Up 4lb for winning at Hamilton and remains well treated if able to back that up..
10th	6 10th (6) (100/1 -900%) Banderas		100 100/1(-900%)																															(6) Banderas 100/1, Creditable efforts on both starts this term, latterly finishing 4 lengths third of 10 to the reopposing Churchella at Doncaster (14.5f, firm). Also acts on heavy. In good form in two starts this season; unexposed and a player, especially on slow ground..
11th	7 11th (7) (80/1 -900%) Dark Jedi		80 80/1(-900%)																															(7) Dark Jedi 80/1, C&D winner last month. Creditable 4¾ lengths fifth of 12 to Dark Moon Rising in handicap at Hamilton (13f, good to firm) a fortnight ago. Another who can't be discounted. Behind Dark Moon Rising latest but not ruled out, especially if conditions turn soft..
12th	9 12th (9) (40/1 -100%) Billy No Mates		40 40/1(-100%)																															(9) Billy No Mates 40/1, Course winner. Creditable fifth of 9 in handicap (33/1) at Doncaster (1½m, good) 16 days ago, not ideally placed. Multiple winner at up to 1m6f on good or slower; player if close to his best..
13th	10 13th (10) (100/1 -400%) The Predictor		100 100/1(-400%)																															(10) The Predictor 100/1, Opened his account over 2m here in August 2022. Not seen since a poor run at Beverley a year ago but he returns with his stable in fine form. One to note in the betting. Returns from a year off looking well treated if he is ready; market can guide..
14th	11 14th (11) (100/1 -614%) Fleur De Mer		100 100/1(-614%)																															(11) Fleur De Mer 100/1, Hasn't finished out of the first 3 since handicapping. Creditable 3¼ lengths third of 8 to Dark Jedi over C&D on latest outing 6 weeks ago (final start for Hugo Palmer). Each-way claims now setting out for a new stable. Changed hands since third over C&D (good to soft; behind Dark Jedi); should be involved..
15th	2 15th (2) (100/1 -1150%) Geremia		100 100/1(-1150%)																															(2) Geremia 100/1, Tends to give himself a lot to do with slow starts but he struck at the second time of asking for this yard over 1½m at Hamilton last month. Respectable 5 lengths sixth of 12 to Dark Moon Rising back at Hamilton (13f, good to firm) since, never nearer after a very slow beginning. Finished 3l ahead of Hope You Can Run when sixth back at Hamilton latest; more needed..

18:15 Thirsk Handicap (Class 4) 14f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Dark Moon Rising produced a bit of a shock when scoring by just over a length at Hamilton earlier in the month and he has to be taken seriously off 4lb higher. However, preference is for RATHGAR, who hit the frame in a slightly stronger contest than this at Salisbury last time. With David Probert taking over the reins, he could be the one to beat, while Banderas is also noted.

LETSBEFRANK appeals as one who should have more to offer on the back of his convincing Hamilton success and can make light of a 6 lb rise with the step up to 1¾m likely to suit him on breeding. Valley of Flowers made good progress in 2023 and an encouraging reappearance at Nottingham suggests she's set for another productive campaign so she's feared most. Churchella and Marbuzet also make the shortlist.

Although up in grade, LETSBEFRANK won going away last time and could still be well treated, with this step up looking positive.

1	9 1st (9) (20/1 -67%) Glory Hyde		20 20/1(-67%)																															(9) Glory Hyde 20/1, 11/4, fair fourth of 6 in handicap at Redcar (5f, soft) 20 days ago. No forlorn hope in her bid for a maiden success. Below par at Redcar latest but earlier second at that track was a solid run; contender.
2	6 2nd (6) (40/1 -186%) It's Showtime		40 40/1(-186%)																															(6) It's Showtime 40/1, Winner at Lingfield in May. Creditable third of 13 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 14/1) 9 days ago. Not taken lightly off an unchanged mark. Followed Lingfield win with good 3rd over C&D last time (not well drawn); one to consider.
3	8 3rd (8) (28/1 -40%) Zaphea		28 28/1(-40%)																															(8) Zaphea 28/1, Unreliable individual. Latest win at Musselburgh in May. Respectable sixth of 13 in handicap (40/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 9 days ago. Others still preferred. Musselburgh win last month and ran okay over C&D nine days ago; needs a personal best.
4	19 4th (19) (40/1 -21%) Northern Prince		40 40/1(-21%)																															(19) Northern Prince 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 17/2, tenth of 14 to Secret Command in handicap at Catterick (5f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere. Failed to build on reappearance promise last week; out of the weights in a better race.
5th	3 5th (3) (16/1 -191%) Secret Command		16 16/1(-191%)																															(3) Secret Command 16/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. Career best when winning 14-runner handicap (7/2) at Catterick (5f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Has to be taken seriously despite a 4 lb weights rise. Two good runs at Catterick this year; 4lb rise for last week's win is fair enough; solid.
6th	10 6th (10) (40/1 -150%) South Parade		40 40/1(-150%)																															(10) South Parade 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Off 7 months before a fading fifth of 6 in handicap at Redcar (5f, soft) 20 days ago. Can take a step forward. Best run came on heavy ground as a 2yo; disappointed on reappearance; something to prove.
7th	16 7th (16) (100/1 -203%) Ishe Worth Agamble		100 100/1(-203%)																															(16) Ishe Worth Agamble 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Off 9 months before a fading fifth of 8 in handicap (100/1) at Ripon (6f, soft) 17 days ago. Can build on it. Best run came over 6f here last summer; should be sharper with his reappearance behind him.
8th	7 8th (7) (12/1 +0%) Alfa Moonstone		12 12/1(+0%)																															(7) Alfa Moonstone 12/1, Good 1½ lengths third of 14 to Secret Command in handicap at Catterick (5f, good to firm, 2/1) 8 days ago. Can make her presence felt once more. Solid third at Catterick last week but Secret Command was stronger at the finish.
9th	1 9th (1) (80/1 -789%) Willolarupi		80 80/1(-789%)																															(1) Willolarupi 80/1, Respectable third of 10 in handicap at Catterick (5f, good, 7/4) 34 days ago. Needs considering. Eight-race maiden but banging at the door in blinkers; should run well once again.
10th	15 10th (15) (33/1 -65%) Sergeant Mayer		33 33/1(-65%)																															(15) Sergeant Mayer 33/1, Good fifth of 10 in handicap (11/2) at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Back in form the last twice; needs a fast pace back at 5f but he holds each-way claims.
11th	17 11th (17) (12/1 -50%) Dandy Fitz		12 12/1(-50%)																															(17) Dandy Fitz 12/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Catterick (5f, soft, 13/2) 16 days ago. Up 5 lb but should be therabouts. Overcame a slow start to win at Catterick last month; 5lb higher in a better race.
12th	11 12th (11) (66/1 -560%) Pinpoint		66 66/1(-560%)																															(11) Pinpoint 66/1, Latest win at Ayr in April. 11/4, good second of 10 in handicap at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Firmly in the picture. Two good placed efforts since an Ayr win in April; should remain competitive.
13th	5 13th (5) (20/1 -43%) Macarone		20 20/1(-43%)																															(5) Macarone 20/1, Respectable third of 8 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, heavy, 5/1) 55 days ago, not knocked about. One to consider for his in-form yard. Won two 5f nurseries in 2023; promising return on soft; better ground a plus; yard in form.
14th	13 14th (13) (80/1 -400%) Smooth Silesie		80 80/1(-400%)																															(13) Smooth Silesie 80/1, Latest win at Nottingham in May. 9/1, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Shortlisted. Two good runs since blinkers went on, 4th at Wetherby latest (behind Pinpoint); e/w claims.
15th	12 15th (12) (20/1 -264%) Lettuce Leaf		20 20/1(-264%)																															(12) Lettuce Leaf 20/1, Lightly-raced Tasleet filly who shaped well after 6 months off when a strong-travelling third of 6 in handicap at Redcar (5f, soft, 17/2) 20 days ago. Can go close with that run under her belt. Shaped with serious promise on last month's handicap debut; ground query but unexposed.
16th	4 16th (4) (28/1 -409%) Cuban Storm		28 28/1(-409%)																															(4) Cuban Storm 28/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. 7/2, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Redcar (5f, good) 27 days ago by ¾ length from Glory Hyde. Had a bit in hand there so he looks competitive on form. Full value for the winning margin at Redcar last month; respected despite a 4lb rise.
17th	14 17th (14) (50/1 -150%) Barnaby		50 50/1(-150%)																															(14) Barnaby 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Catterick (6f, soft) 24 days ago. Something to find on form. Not finished his races off as yet but a wind op since last time could improve matters.
18th	2 18th (2) (80/1 -567%) Lochaber		80 80/1(-567%)																															(2) Lochaber 80/1, Winner at Beverley in May. 11/4, last of 6 in handicap at Redcar (5f, soft) 20 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Needs to bounce back. Flopped on soft latest; new headgear tried this time; others more appealing.
19th	18 19th (18) (80/1 -142%) Miss Rainbow		80 80/1(-142%)																															(18) Miss Rainbow 80/1, Comes here below par, sixth of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good to soft, 7/1) 16 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. 0-10 and below par the last twice; last season's best gives her claims though.

18:45 Thirsk Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Lettuce Leaf finished five lengths clear of the fourth when she hit the frame at this level on her latest outing at Redcar and she should remain competitive off the same rating. That said, she could come out second best to CUBAN STORM, who had Glory Hyde (second), Pinpoint (third) and Dandy Fitz (fifth) behind when successful at Redcar last month. The son of Havana Grey can confirm that form to record a double, while Willolarupi is another to consider after his third at Catterick.

Tom Tate's low-mileage filly LETTUCE LEAF made a promising return when a sweet-travelling Redcar third and is fancied to build on it here and open her account. Secret Command is feared most on the back of his recent Catterick success, with Redcar-winner Cuban Storm another who commands plenty of respect. In-form trio It's Showtime, Alfa Moonstone and Pinpoint all need factoring into this competitive handicap too.

Fiendish fare but Barnaby could benefit from wind surgery and LETTUCE LEAF looked ahead of her mark 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.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses.
