1	1 1st (1) (6/1 +0%) Monsieur Kodi		6 6/1(+0%)																															(1) Monsieur Kodi 6/1, Returned to form after 6 months off when landing 5f handicap at Musselburgh in April. Has backed up that effort when fourth in a pair of competitive Sky Bet Sunday Series events since. Should give another good account. Musselburgh win on return (5f good to soft); two solid efforts since; contender back at 6f.
2	10 2nd (10) (6.5/1 +28%) Ramiro		6.5 6.5/1(+28%)																															(10) Ramiro 6.5/1, 20/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good) 35 days ago. Something to find on form. Can fluff the start; not run badly in either start this year but others appeal more.
3	7 3rd (7) (4/1 +38%) Barney's Bay		4 4/1(+38%)																															(7) Barney's Bay 4/1, 9/2, snapped a long losing run in 13-runner C&D handicap at this C&D (good) 15 days ago, finding extra. Still fairly treated on his best form after a 3 lb rise. C&D win two weeks ago came in a lower grade; 3lb rise fair enough but others appeal more.
4	6 4th (6) (3.5/1 +50%) Blazing Son		3.5 3.5/1(+50%)																															(6) Blazing Son 3.5/1, Arrives on a hat-trick after 6f wins at Southwell and Newcastle this spring. Successful on turf last year. Unlikely to be too far away. Progressing well on AW; more to come but untested on quicker than good.
5th	4 5th (4) (3.5/1 +22%) Prospering		3.5 3.5/1(+22%)																															(4) Prospering 3.5/1, Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Ascot (6f, soft, 9/2) 39 days ago, driven out. Enters calculations again. Off the mark at Ascot last month; quicker ground to deal with but going the right way.
6th	8 6th (8) (3.5/1 +56%) William Dewhirst		3.5 3.5/1(+56%)																															(8) William Dewhirst 3.5/1, C&D maiden winner in May. 9/2, creditable sixth of 11 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good to firm) since, although merely closing up late. C&D winner on heavy last month; struggled on fast ground on handicap debut; rain a plus.
7th	9 7th (9) (50/1 -52%) Golden Duke		50 50/1(-52%)																															(9) Golden Duke 50/1, Fifth of 6 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to firm, 14/1) on reappearance 12 days ago. Others more persuasive. Low-key return to action 12 days ago; needs to be back at the top of his game now.

LTO Selection:

14:55 Thirsk Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

BLAZING SON has been in tremendous form in recent months, winning four of his last five starts, and the five-year-old is unlikely to have any issue switching back to turf following his most recent victory at Southwell. William Dewhirst remains capable of better having broke the maiden tag over C&D on his penultimate effort. Magical Merlin isn't discounted under a 6lb penalty for his Lingfield success last Monday, with Ascot scorer Prospering and Monsieur Kodi others to note.

MAGICAL MERLIN had a fair bit in hand at Lingfield last week and looks well treated under a 6 lb penalty, particularly if his good apprentice's 3 lb claim is factored in. Ascot winner Prospering is feared most ahead of Monsieur Kodi, who arrives on the back of 3 very good efforts (including a win) in big-field events in Scotland this spring.

A competitive sprint in which PROSPERING is marginally preferred to Blazing Son.

1	2 1st (2) (3.33/1 +26%) Danzan		3.33 3.33/1(+26%)																															(2) Danzan 3.33/1, C&D winner. Bit below form eighth of 15 in handicap (14/1) at this C&D (good) 31 days ago, met some trouble. Edging down the weights and chance can't be ignored. C&D winner; not found best form so far this year but this is a drop in class.
2	4 2nd (4) (6/1 +33%) Cliffcake		6 6/1(+33%)																															(4) Cliffcake 6/1, C&D winner. Eight wins from 26 Flat runs. Back to best when winning 12-runner handicap (22/1) at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Can go well again. Won this race last year; game effort to win at Beverley three weeks ago; major player.
3	7 3rd (7) (16/1 -60%) Devilwala		16 16/1(-60%)																															(7) Devilwala 16/1, Well treated now and step back in right direction when fifth of 12 in handicap at this course (8f, good, 18/1) 31 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Can't be completely dismissed. Back to his last winning mark; fair effort over 1m here latest; rain would aid his cause.
4	5 4th (5) (16/1 +11%) Touchwood		16 16/1(+11%)																															(5) Touchwood 16/1, 4/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good) 14 days ago, slowly away. Had been in good form prior to that effort and it's too soon to write him off. Hard to win with and he wasn't at his best last time; each-way claims at best.
6th	1 6th (1) (4.5/1 +0%) Ascot Adventure		4.5 4.5/1(+0%)																															(1) Ascot Adventure 4.5/1, Creditable third of 8 in handicap (5/1) at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Chance if rediscovering old form. Back to form when third at Beverley 10 days ago; dangerous with a repeat; won't mind rain.
7th	9 7th (9) (4/1 +27%) Ertebat		4 4/1(+27%)																															(9) Ertebat 4/1, Winner at Pontefract in May. 10/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 13 days ago. Likely to be back on his game. Good runs in first two handicaps; below par on AW latest; return to turf can help; chance.
8th	6 8th (6) (12/1 +14%) Bicep		12 12/1(+14%)																															(6) Bicep 12/1, Latest win at Musselburgh in May. Sixteenth of 19 in handicap at York (7f, good to firm, 14/1) 24 days ago. Likely to bounce back returned to calmer waters. Musselburgh win on his return; less good at York since; career best needed.
9th	3 9th (3) (22/1 -193%) One More Dream		22 22/1(-193%)																															(3) One More Dream 22/1, Five wins from 18 Flat runs. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Chelmsford City in April. Fourth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 9/4) 54 days ago, badly hampered. Remains one to be interested in. Improved for a switch to AW, winning 5 of last 13 starts; return to turf an imponderable.
10th	11 10th (11) (50/1 -25%) El Montejean		50 50/1(-25%)																															(11) El Montejean 50/1, 25/1, last of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Others make more appeal. No impact in handicaps as yet; return to 7f not enough to tempt.

15:30 Thirsk Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Ascot Adventure proved he might be ready to exploit a drop in the handicap when finishing a creditable third at Beverley 10 days ago. He merits respect on the back of that effort, though preference is for CLIFFCAKE. A comfortable winner in this 12 months ago from a 1lb higher mark, Roy Bowring's charge returned to winning ways last month and he's fancied to mount a successful defence of his crown. Devilwala is another to consider.

ASCOT ADVENTURE is well treated on past exploits and produced his best effort since joining his current stable when third at Beverley 10 days ago, so he gets the marginal vote in an open-looking contest. Kitaab is still relatively unexposed and looks an obvious threat, while last-time-out winner Cliffcake is respected after a 4 lb rise.

Cliffcake can make a bold bid to follow last year's win in the race but the 3yo ERTEBAT is still open to further progress.

2	9 2nd (9) (16/1 -33%) Beautifulasalways		16 16/1(-33%)																															(9) Beautifulasalways 16/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fifth of 9 in maiden at Ripon (9.8f, good to firm, 11/2) 30 days ago, not knocked about. Others preferred.

16:10 Thirsk Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

ENDLESS POWER shaped with promise when beaten three-lengths into fifth on his racecourse debut. His dam, a half-sister to Oaks winner Qualify, would suggest he will appreciate this greater test of stamina, and James Tate's colt is expected to step forward today. Create beat a subsequent winner when successful at the first time of asking 130 days ago, and she merits respect on this turf debut, with improvement on the cards. Soowaih can follow them home.

ZARAZA was very green when mid-field in a novice at Newmarket a month ago and could be the type to improve significantly, so he's preferred to the promising Kintaro. Create is another one to consider having made a successful start at Southwell 4 months ago.

This looks open. Kintaro is second choice to ZARAZA who could be a notable improver, as could Soowaih and Endless Power.

Big chance again under penalty with top apprentice up. Impressed when winning at Ayr last week and he's a key player despite his penalty.

6	6 (6) (4/1 +43%) J R Cavagin		4 4/1(+43%)																															(6) J R Cavagin 4/1, Respectable fifth of 13 in handicap at this course (6f, good, 10/1) 15 days ago, finding less than looked likely. Cheekpieces on 1st time. On a good mark but going through the motions so far this season; cheekpieces now added.

Drops in grade and big player. On a losing run but this is the weakest handicap he's ever contested; rain a bonus.
4	4 (4) (6/1 +63%) Lotus Rose		6 6/1(+63%)																															(4) Lotus Rose 6/1, Fifth of 6 in handicap at Ripon (5f, heavy, 10/3) 39 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Front-runner who lurks on a handy mark; return to quicker ground can help.

16:45 Thirsk Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

MERESIDE ANGEL has been a consistent customer this term, finishing in the first three home on all four of his appearances. The four-year-old recorded a career-best effort when landing the spoils at Ayr last time out and he can continue his ascendancy under a penalty. The handicapper has loosened his grip on Count D'Orsay and he warrants plenty of consideration now eased in grade. Blazing Hot is another to consider.

MERESIDE ANGEL came clear with a bit in hand at Ayr last week and is fancied to score once more with a top apprentice up. Count d'Orsay is on a momentous losing run but caught the eye here last time and drops in grade now. High Opinion can also be in the mix again.

Significant rain would change things but MERESIDE ANGEL created a positive impression at Ayr last week and can follow up.

Consistent in the last 12 months but no great record fresh and others appeal more.

17:25 Thirsk Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

LEXINGTON KNIGHT ran on well to land the spoils at Doncaster last time out and the consistent five-year-old gets the nod off 2lb higher. The Richard Hannon-trained gelding benefitted from his front-running tactics and he can go close with P J McDonald in the saddle. Ready To Shine won with something in hand over C&D last time out and rates the most immediate danger off 5lb higher. Genesius is capable on his day and dangerous to dismiss.

GASTRONOMY made a promising start for this yard when runner-up at Ripon last time and this lightly-raced 4-y-o may have more to offer. Last-time-out winners Lexington Knight and Ready To Shine are others to consider.

A small rise for LEXINGTON KNIGHT (nap)'s game win at Doncaster last time may well not prevent him from following up.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

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. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
