Stepped up on debut when promising second of 14 in maiden (40/1) at Leicester (6f, good) 29 days ago, finishing well. Sets a solid standard.

Much better effort when second of 9 in maiden at Carlisle (5.8f, soft, 12/1) 16 days ago, running on. Clear second at Carlisle last time, doing enough to suggest he can win an ordinary race.

Dam winner up to 1m (2-y-o 6f winner). 7/1, fifth of 9 in maiden at Carlisle (5.8f, good) on debut 23 days ago. Open to improvement.

11th	9 11th (9) (100/1 -100%) Toby Two Scoops	100 100/1(-100%)	(9) Toby Two Scoops 100/1, Foaled March 10. 9,000 gns foal, Expert Eye colt. Half-brother to 1¼m winner Marie Josephe.

14:15 Thirsk Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

The twice-raced AMERICAN STYLE, who was only a head behind subsequent Chesham Stakes runner-up Pentle Bay in a maiden at Leicester 29 days ago, appeals strongly given how well the form is panning out. That run was a marked improvement from the selection's debut in a warm novice at York and further progress can see him get off the mark here. Cugini and Bella Love are other promising types to consider, while support in the betting for Richard Fahey's newcomer, Ay Gee Ell, would also be noteworthy.

AMERICAN STYLE left his debut well behind when going close in a decent maiden at Leicester 3 weeks ago and can go one better at the main expense of Bella Love, who made a promising start when runner-up at Wetherby. Ay Gee Ell is a newcomer to note.

The form pick is AMERICAN STYLE whose Leicester effort has substance. Stirrup Cup, a similar type, is second choice.

14:45 Thirsk Handicap (Class 6) 14f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
4	4 (4) (8/1 -220%) Nancy P	8 8/1(-220%)	(4) Nancy P 8/1, Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Lingfield (1½m, AW, 10/1) 23 days ago. Should stay this far and a 5 lb rise looks workable. Won going away at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) last month; may have more to offer.
1	1 1st (1) (1/2 +75%) The Crafty Mole	0.5 1/2(+75%)	(1) The Crafty Mole 1/2, Took his record in 1¾m handicaps to 3-3 when comfortably seeing off 7 rivals at Yarmouth last Friday. Should go well under a 6 lb penalty. Progressive sort who commands respect under a penalty for Yarmouth win; 3-3 over 1m6f.
2	3 2nd (3) (12/1 -336%) Believitanducan	12 12/1(-336%)	(3) Believitanducan 12/1, Behind The Crafty Mole when placing in handicaps over this trip at Wetherby and Redcar in the spring. Ought to be competitive. Only 1l behind The Crafty Mole at Redcar last time; much better off with that rival.
3	7 3rd (7) (50/1 -400%) Elforleather	50 50/1(-400%)	(7) Elforleather 50/1, Winner at Brighton in April but the handicapper has looked in charge twice since. Tackles 1¾m for the first time now. Has regressed in two starts since 1m2f win at Brighton.
4	5 4th (5) (100/1 -525%) Sovereignlightcafe	100 100/1(-525%)	(5) Sovereignlightcafe 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 9 in maiden (50/1) at this course (1m, good to firm) 26 days ago. Steps up significantly in trip for his handicap debut. Worth a look in the betting. Open to improvement upped in distance on handicap debut; interesting.
5th	6 5th (6) (100/1 -400%) Greenlightforgo	100 100/1(-400%)	(6) Greenlightforgo 100/1, Still looked in need of the experience when fifth of 6 on 1½m Ripon handicap debut 13 days ago. Not particularly solid on his middle-distance form.
6th	2 6th (2) (100/1 -900%) Shadowofyoursmile	100 100/1(-900%)	(2) Shadowofyoursmile 100/1, From a good family but little better than modest form to date, finishing a well-held third on his 1¾m Redcar handicap debut 5 weeks ago. Early days but he needs improvement. Related to a few winners for her owner and remains open to progress; not ruled out.

14:45 Thirsk Handicap (Class 6) 14f Race Class Flow

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

The Crafty Mole, who had a 3lb claimer in the saddle when he overhauled BELIEVITANDUCAN near the finish to score at both Wetherby and Redcar earlier in the campaign, commands respect. However, the latter has done little wrong and can take advantage of his old adversary carrying a 6lb penalty for last week's Yarmouth win. Shadowofyoursmile also enters calculations as a lightly raced and improving stayer, whereas the betting can guide with Lingfield winner Nancy P, who steps up a couple of furlongs off 5lb higher.

THE CRAFTY MOLE ran out a convincing winner at Yarmouth last week and might be able to extend his winning sequence in 1¾m handicaps to 4. Last month's Lingfield scorer Nancy P is feared most ahead of Believeitanducan, who has been placed behind the selection on his 2 outings this season and meets him on better terms this time.

Believitanducan is weighted to reverse placings with THE CRAFTY MOLE but the latter is progressive and could well win again.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
8	8 (8) (7/1 -75%) Urban Lion	7 7/1(-75%)	(8) Urban Lion 7/1, Once-raced maiden. Eighth of 14 in minor event (100/1) at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) on debut 11 days ago, never nearer. Should have more to offer. Showed some promise at Newmarket; open to improvement.
1	7 1st (7) (13/8 +28%) Thunder Run	1.625 13/8(+28%)	(7) Thunder Run 13/8, Promising type. 7/2, second of 16 in minor event at Wetherby (7f, good to soft) on debut 22 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Type to improve plenty and looks a big player. Promising second at Wetherby, best of the newcomers; leading player.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/2 -400%) The Reverend	5.5 11/2(-400%)	(2) The Reverend 11/2, Promising individual. 9/2, won 10-runner novice at Newmarket (7f, soft) on debut 8 months ago. Longer trip should play to his strengths and there's improvement on the cards, so he's the one to beat. Absent since debut win at Newmarket eight months ago; open to progress.
3	3 3rd (3) (100/1 -300%) Appeal To Glory	100 100/1(-300%)	(3) Appeal To Glory 100/1, Once-raced maiden. Seventh of 11 in minor event at Kempton (7f, 16/1) on debut 42 days ago, very slowly away. Needs to improve markedly on his Kempton effort.
4	1 4th (1) (100/1 -300%) Beaming Light	100 100/1(-300%)	(1) Beaming Light 100/1, Twice-raced maiden on Flat. Fifth of 10 in maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, good, 400/1) 20 days ago. Needs to improve again. Appeared to show improvement last time but others are more appealing.
5th	9 5th (9) (100/1 -525%) Zous Juice	100 100/1(-525%)	(9) Zous Juice 100/1, Twice-raced maiden. 25/1, fifth of 16 in minor event at Wetherby (7f, good to soft) 22 days ago. More required. Finished just over 5l behind Thunder Run at Wetherby last time.
6th	6 6th (6) (100/1 -614%) Oligopoly	100 100/1(-614%)	(6) Oligopoly 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien when below form sixth of 12 in maiden (15/2) at Ripon (6f, good) 14 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Needs to get back on track. Placed twice in Ireland; well below that form at Ripon for new yard.
7th	5 7th (5) (250/1 -150%) Leveche	250 250/1(-150%)	(5) Leveche 250/1, Once-raced maiden. Eighth of 10 in maiden at Musselburgh (8f, good to firm, 80/1) on debut 20 days ago. Slowly away and always behind in 1m maiden at Musselburgh.
8th	4 8th (4) (100/1 -203%) Harrington	100 100/1(-203%)	(4) Harrington 100/1, 9,000 gns yearling, Zoffany gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including 1¼m winner Desert Way and 1½m winner Blazing Saddles. 9,000gns yearling; by Zoffany; sole newcomer in the field.

15:15 Thirsk Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

THE REVEREND was noted as a promising type when he made a winning debut at Newmarket in November and, assuming he handles the forecast quicker ground, this could be a profitable starting point for the son of Loupe De Vega's three-year-old season. Thunder Run also entered a few notebooks with a good second on his racecourse bow at Wetherby 22 days ago and is shortlisted with improvement highly likely. Long distance traveller Urban Lion is another keep a close eye on in the betting.

THE REVEREND created a good impression when scoring first time out at Newmarket 8 months ago and he's worth a chance to maintain his unbeaten record under a penalty. Thunder Run shaped well behind a stablemate of the selection on debut at Haydock and he's open to a good deal of improvement, so he's the obvious threat.

The strongest contenders are Newmarket winner The Reverend and Wetherby runner-up THUNDER RUN.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
5	5 (5) (12/1 -100%) My Honey B	12 12/1(-100%)	(5) My Honey B 12/1, Easily best effort of the season when second of 9 in handicap at Chester (7.6f, good) 19 days ago, clear of rest having gone with plenty of enthusiasm. Nudged up 2 lb but she can remain competitive. All wins at about 1m; close second over 7.5f at Chester most recently; drops to bare 7f.
1	8 1st (8) (6/1 +20%) Langholm	6 6/1(+20%)	(8) Langholm 6/1, 15/2 and cheekpieces on for first time, creditable second of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 9 days ago, having run of race. Vulnerable to anything progressive. Ran well (neck second) over C&D last week but remains on a very long losing sequence.
2	9 2nd (9) (16/1 -14%) Bits And Bobs	16 16/1(-14%)	(9) Bits And Bobs 16/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. Respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to firm, 16/1) 11 days ago, nearest finish. Visor on first time. 0-16 since debut win but has possibilities if taking well to new headgear.
3	6 3rd (6) (14/1 -460%) Savvy Warrior	14 14/1(-460%)	(6) Savvy Warrior 14/1, Career best when winning 11-runner handicap (11/4) at Wetherby (7f, good to soft) 22 days ago, bit in hand. 4 lb rise won't be enough to prevent very bold follow-up bid. Suited by the drop back to 7f at Wetherby last month; may well build on that success.
4	3 4th (3) (25/1 -108%) Roaring Ralph	25 25/1(-108%)	(3) Roaring Ralph 25/1, Easy to excuse latest effort when seventh of 9 in handicap at Chester (7.6f, good) 19 days ago, caught in a bad spot and then hampered. Eased 2 lb. Met trouble last time; has slipped to a handy mark and can't be ruled out.
5th	4 5th (4) (100/1 -1233%) Masterclass	100 100/1(-1233%)	(4) Masterclass 100/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 18/1, creditable third of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 9 days ago. That just about confirms his stamina for 7f. Best effort for new yard when close third, one place behind Langholm, over C&D last week.
6th	7 6th (7) (14/1 -460%) Georgie Wooster	14 14/1(-460%)	(7) Georgie Wooster 14/1, Promising individual. 6/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Redcar (7f, good) 44 days ago, plenty in hand. Totally unexposed so he can shrug off 9 lb rise. The form of his Redcar win (handicap debut) has major substance; type to improve further.
7th	1 7th (1) (40/1 -186%) Book Of Life	40 40/1(-186%)	(1) Book Of Life 40/1, 100/1 and tongue strap on for first time, tenth of 11 in handicap at Newbury (7f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Hasn't yet come close to his French form for current yard but this is a big drop in class, at least. String of duck eggs next to his name but this drop in class may have positive effect.
8th	2 8th (2) (80/1 -471%) Leap Day	80 80/1(-471%)	(2) Leap Day 80/1, Last of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm, 14/1) 4 days ago. Dips down to an easier handicap but others still more persuasive. Less reliable since returned to turf but ran respectably over C&D in May.

15:45 Thirsk Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

GEORGIE WOOSTER went up 9lb after a smooth display on her handicap debut at Redcar in May. The form of that contest has worked out particularly well, with the runner-up winning twice along with the third and fourth, so it would be no surprise if Tim Easterby's gelding had further improvement to come. Savvy Warrior appreciated the drop back to 7f when getting off the mark at Wetherby and is a player off a 4lb higher mark. Others for the shortlist include Langholm and Masterclass.

It would be no real surprise were ready last-time-out winning 3-y-os GEORGIE WOOSTER and Savvy Warrior to dominate this, with marginal preference for the former given how strong he was at the finish at Redcar. Of the rest, Book of Life is worth a check in the betting eased markedly in class for an in-form yard.

Judged on the strength of his Redcar win, GEORGIE WOOSTER (nap) is set to follow up. Savvy Warrior is feared most.

4	4 (4) (10/1 -67%) One More Dream	10 10/1(-67%)	(4) One More Dream 10/1, 3 wins from 12 runs this year. Latest win at Southwell in March. Creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 9/2) 9 days ago, never nearer. Ought to be in the shake-up. Multiple AW winner; only 1-14 on turf but ran encouragingly over C&D last week.
1	8 1st (8) (20/1 +0%) Petra Celera	20 20/1(+0%)	(8) Petra Celera 20/1, 40/1, last of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Must improve. Two wins for previous yard; far from solid on her form for new stable.
2	1 2nd (1) (5/1 -50%) Patontheback	5 5/1(-50%)	(1) Patontheback 5/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Musselburgh in June. Good second of 10 in handicap (8/1) at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Can go well again. Ran well at Beverley last week when bidding for a hat-trick; remains in top form.
3	5 3rd (5) (33/1 -560%) Sunny Orange	33 33/1(-560%)	(5) Sunny Orange 33/1, Latest win at Beverley in June. 5/2, below form fourth of 14 in handicap at Redcar (7f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Weighted to go well if back on his A-game. Interesting on his Beverley performance (emphatic success) two starts ago.
4	6 4th (6) (25/1 -614%) Arnaz	25 25/1(-614%)	(6) Arnaz 25/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Brighton in May. 7/2, creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Haydock (7f, good) 27 days ago. In the mix. Won at Brighton on penultimate start; this 3yo may still have more to offer.
5th	3 5th (3) (33/1 -633%) King's Crown	33 33/1(-633%)	(3) King's Crown 33/1, Course winner. Creditable sixth of 10 in handicap at Chester (7.6f, good, 6/1) 19 days ago. Heading back in the right direction recently. Player. Mostly encouraging form for new yard; possibilities back at the scene of sole win.
6th	9 6th (9) (100/1 -900%) Temper Trap	100 100/1(-900%)	(9) Temper Trap 100/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 9/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Back down in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter. Hard to fancy on 2024 form, which is mostly poor.
7th	7 7th (7) (100/1 -614%) East Bank	100 100/1(-614%)	(7) East Bank 100/1, Latest win at Newcastle in March. 14/1, last of 11 in handicap at Chester (7.6f, good) 19 days ago. Something to find on form. Drops back in grade but his inconsistent profile is a negative.

16:20 Thirsk Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

PATONTHEBACK's bid for a hat-trick of victories saw him go very close to doing so when finishing a half-length second at Beverley last Tuesday. The six-year-old takes advantage of the fact he can race off the same mark before being reassessed and may prove a tough nut to crack. Arnaz remains open to progression on just his sixth career outing, while Sunny Orange appears best of the remainder.

KING'S CROWN hinted at a revival when sixth at Chester last time and can build on it here from a 2 lb lower mark to resume winning ways. Patontheback brings very solid credentials to the table and is next on the list ahead of the handily-weighted Sunny Orange and in-form duo Arnaz and One More Dream.

Off a reduced mark back at the scene of his maiden win, KING'S CROWN is an interesting alternative to Patontheback.

Shaped encouragingly sent handicapping when third in 6f Newmarket handicap on return and remains with potential. Gelded/had breathing operation since. Had gelding/wind operations since reappearance effort; still open to further progress.
2	5 2nd (5) (12/1 -85%) Manila Scouse	12 12/1(-85%)	(5) Manila Scouse 12/1, Improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) last month, all out. However, wasn't in anything like the same form at Ripon last time. Disappointing favourite last time; made all at Hamilton earlier in May.
3	1 3rd (1) (12/1 -140%) Summerghand	12 12/1(-140%)	(1) Summerghand 12/1, Down to his lowest mark for nearly 6 years and he was nearest at the finish when seventh at Newmarket on penultimate start. Did as well as could've been expected from the position he raced in the Buckingham Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot last time and can go well down in grade. Multiple winner at a higher level; 3-4 in Class 3 events in 2018; has to be feared.
4	3 4th (3) (9/1 -64%) First Folio	9 9/1(-64%)	(3) First Folio 9/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022 but stepped up on his reappearance when sixth of 14 in handicap (11/1) at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Eased 2 lb. Two efforts for new yard haven't been devoid of promise; attractively handicapped.
5th	9 5th (9) (17/2 +15%) Strong Johnson	8.5 17/2(+15%)	(9) Strong Johnson 17/2, Ran respectably when fifth of 10 in handicap (4/1) at Nottingham (5f, good) 14 days ago, better placed than most. Merits consideration. Unplaced in Class 5 most recently; hard to support, back up two grades.
6th	8 6th (8) (28/1 -211%) Airman	28 28/1(-211%)	(8) Airman 28/1, Made it 2-2 on return in a 5f Hamilton novice, despite still looking green. Lost unbeaten record up in grade when last of 7 in Sandy Lane Stakes at Haydock before running poorly in Royal Ascot handicap. Needs to get back on track. Struggled in major races the last twice; may do better back in calmer waters.
7th	2 7th (2) (9/1 -125%) Tinto	9 9/1(-125%)	(2) Tinto 9/1, Highlight of 2023 was his close second in the Ayr Silver Cup in September. Stepped up on first 2 starts of this season when resuming winning ways over C&D 46 days ago and is only 1 lb higher here. Likely to remain competitive, having gone back up just 1lb for C&D success in May.
8th	7 8th (7) (40/1 -233%) Twelfth Knight	40 40/1(-233%)	(7) Twelfth Knight 40/1, Has dipped below last winning mark but ran below form when sixth of 7 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good) 13 days ago. Won at Ripon last August; best effort since when fifth to Tinto over C&D in May.
9th	6 9th (6) (66/1 -267%) Call Me Ginger	66 66/1(-267%)	(6) Call Me Ginger 66/1, Ended last season out of sorts, though shaped as if needing the run after 7 months off when sixth of 7 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good to firm, 14/1) 11 days ago. Entitled to come on for that. Form has deteriorated since winning twice last September.

16:55 Thirsk Handicap (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

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

JEHANGEER made a promising return to action when third to the progressive Woodhay Wonder at Newmarket in May and that rival has since performed with a lot of credit at Royal Ascot. The son of Kodiac was subsequently gelded and given a wind operation, so he may take another step forward. Tinto won over C&D when last seen and has to be considered along with Summerghand, who has shown signs in recent months that he remains in good heart.

10-y-o SUMMERGHAND ran about as well as could be expected from his position in the Buckingham Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot and gets the nod to take advantage of this drop in grade. Jehangeer shaped encouragingly on his reappearance at Newmarket and has both the pedigree and physique to go on improving following both a gelding and breathing operation. Strong Johnson seems to be building up to something and completes the shortlist.

Nicely bred 3yo JEHANGEER should build on his Newmarket reappearance effort. Summerghand is second choice.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (13/2 -18%) Garifullina	6.5 13/2(-18%)	(6) Garifullina 13/2, Stepped up on reappearance run without getting back to the pick of last season's form when fifth of 10 in handicap at Redcar (5f, good to firm, 33/1) 12 days ago, never nearer. Step back up to 6f looks the way to go so she's one to consider. She was the only one to make any late gains when beaten 3l at Redcar (5f).
2	10 2nd (10) (7/2 +46%) Calafrio	3.5 7/2(+46%)	(10) Calafrio 7/2, 16/1, ran one of her better races when second of 18 in minor event at this C&D (good to firm) 9 days ago. Task is now to build on that back in handicap company. It was a classified race in which she was second of 18 over C&D last week.
3	2 3rd (2) (12/1 +14%) Holbache	12 12/1(+14%)	(2) Holbache 12/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 16/1, last of 9 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 32 days ago, weakening under 2f out. Yet to show much for current connections so best watched. Has yet to get anything going in three runs for this yard having won six races in the past.
4	11 4th (11) (40/1 -300%) Sassy Soprano	40 40/1(-300%)	(11) Sassy Soprano 40/1, Failed to build on the promise of previous run kept at 5f when sixth of 10 in handicap at Ripon (good, 14/1) 2 weeks ago, not clear run over 1f out. Back up in trip and more required to open her account from just out of the weights. Improved form at Catterick and then not beaten far after a troubled run at Ripon.
5th	3 5th (3) (14/1 -367%) Foreseeable Future	14 14/1(-367%)	(3) Foreseeable Future 14/1, Course winner last summer. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Good third of 10 in handicap (10/3) at Ripon (5f, good) 2 weeks ago, keeping on late after bit short of room over 1f out. Every chance if back to best. He came from well off the pace to make the frame at Ripon two weeks ago.
6th	4 6th (4) (14/1 -211%) Willow Baby	14 14/1(-211%)	(4) Willow Baby 14/1, Visored for 1st time, ran respectably when fifth of 10 in handicap (4/1) at Ripon (5f, good) 2 weeks ago. Step back up in trip rates a positive. 0-11 but 7f has looked too far and 5f too sharp, yet usually runs well at 6f.
7th	5 7th (5) (25/1 -108%) Sounds Of Spring	25 25/1(-108%)	(5) Sounds Of Spring 25/1, Yet to fire for current yard, seventh of 10 in handicap (28/1) at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) just under 8 weeks ago. Hard to warm to. Quiet in five runs for this yard but Nottingham (on good) was a tad more encouraging.
8th	8 8th (8) (14/1 -56%) Parr Fire	14 14/1(-56%)	(8) Parr Fire 14/1, Nineteen runs since last win in 2022. 14/1, went the wrong way from a promising comeback when eighth of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, soft) 16 days ago. Visor back on. Could be worth another chance. Twice placed in the visor last summer and that aid now returns; possibilities.
9th	7 9th (7) (100/1 -1438%) Ishe Worth Agamble	100 100/1(-1438%)	(7) Ishe Worth Agamble 100/1, 10/3, below form when sixth of 9 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Back up in trip and has dropped to a career-low mark. Beaten under 2l over 5f here before a slow start did for her at Beverley; lightly raced.
10th	9 10th (9) (125/1 -150%) Chattel Village	125 125/1(-150%)	(9) Chattel Village 125/1, 80/1, ran no sort of race when tenth of 11 in handicap at Beverley (5f, soft) 5 weeks ago, slowly away and soon off bridle. Has basically struggled since placed in his first two 2yo runs.
11th	1 11th (1) (33/1 -175%) Modular Magic	33 33/1(-175%)	(1) Modular Magic 33/1, Twenty runs since last win in 2021. 40/1, again below form when tenth of 11 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) just under 4 weeks ago. Mark continues to tumble. Slipped down the weights and didn't look a lost cause in his penultimate race.

17:25 Thirsk Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Winless since scoring at Musselburgh last August, FORESEEABLE FUTURE has dropped 9lb in the weights since then and stepping up in trip could work the oracle as he looks to build upon a strong placed effort at Ripon. Less than a length behind him in that contest was Willow Baby (fifth), who can have a say again, while Modular Magic has decent claims on his penultimate effort at Ayr. Others to note include Calafrio, Chattel Village and Ishe Worth Agamble.

An open-looking sprint in which it could be worth taking a chance on PARR FIRE, who was below form at Carlisle recently but she'd shaped quite encouragingly on return so Ben Haslam's 4-y-o can build on that back in a visor. Garifullina should appreciate this return to 6f, so she can give the selection most to think about, with Foreseeable Future and Willow Baby another couple fancied to go well, too.

A chance is taken on WILLOW BABY for whom 6f is probably a better fit that the 5f or 7f she's also been tried over.

4	3 4th (3) (9/1 -29%) Hombre	9 9/1(-29%)	(3) Hombre 9/1, Made a winning turf debut at this C&D in April. Not in the same form a week later when last of 14 in handicap at Leicester (6f, heavy, 3/1) 67 days ago, but he's worth another chance given a longer break ahead of this run. Broke his duck on his turf debut over C&D in April; next run may have come too soon..

6th	6 6th (6) (50/1 -733%) Batal Dandy	50 50/1(-733%)	(6) Batal Dandy 50/1, Off the mark in first-time cheekpieces at Wetherby in June. Failed to repeat that effort when seventh of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, soft, 17/2) 16 days ago, but he could bounce back returned to a sounder surface. Won at Wetherby last month with cheekpieces; soft ground may not have suited since..

8th	8 8th (8) (100/1 -733%) Arlington	100 100/1(-733%)	(8) Arlington 100/1, Opened his account at Newcastle in March. Possibly needed the run after 3 months off when last of 12 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to firm, 17/2) 11 days ago, so he could fare better this time around.

17:55 Thirsk Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

A taking winner over 5f at Chepstow last week, GUNNERSIDE is quickly turned out again for his in-form connections and may be able to follow up under a 4lb penalty on the rise in distance. The son of Gutaifan may have too much for the capable Sydney Bay and Northern Prince, who posted arguably a career-best effort when not beaten here over 5f last time out.

GUNNERSIDE capitalised on his falling mark when scoring at Chepstow 9 days ago and he remains well treated on the pick of last season's form under a penalty. He is taken to follow up returned to this longer trip, with Hombre feared most as he makes only his third start on turf. Northern Prince could also be in the mix trying 6f for the first time.

An open-looking handicap but the less-exposed NORTHERN PRINCE looks ready to win for the first time. The danger is Batal Dandy.

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.
