14:00 Thirsk Handicap (Class 6) 5f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (3.5/1 -17%) Foreseeable Future	3.5 3.5/1(-17%)	(1) Foreseeable Future 3.5/1, Latest win at Ripon in May. 5/1, good nose second of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) 9 days ago, edged out only at the line. Shortlist material from unchanged mark. Back on track when 2nd at Yarmouth latest; bold showing on cards off an unchanged mark.
2	7 2nd (7) (2.25/1 +36%) Latin Five	2.25 2.25/1(+36%)	(7) Latin Five 2.25/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022 but arrives here in top form, travelling well and splitting a better-placed pair when second of 13 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to soft, 10/3) 10 days ago. Not taken lightly. Dual 5f winner in 2022 who is knocking on the door, second at Beverley latest; big player.
3	3 3rd (3) (7.5/1 -88%) Mehmo	7.5 7.5/1(-88%)	(3) Mehmo 7.5/1, 3 wins from 9 runs this year. 15/8, improved on recent efforts to win 12-runner handicap at Beverley (5f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Scored a shade cosily on that occasion and has rider's claim offsetting penalty, so makes plenty of appeal again. Won at Beverley latest in good style; very much in the picture under a 5lb penalty.
4	8 4th (8) (9/1 +68%) Somewhere Secret	9 9/1(+68%)	(8) Somewhere Secret 9/1, Won at Nottingham in 2022 but has lost way since and is very hard to fancy despite slipping mark. Arrives out of sorts, only seventh at Hamilton eight days ago; others appeal more.
5th	6 5th (6) (16/1 -88%) Insolente	16 16/1(-88%)	(6) Insolente 16/1, Winner at Beverley in May and has held form well since, again running creditably when 2 lengths fourth of 12 to Mehmo in handicap (5/1) at Beverley (5f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Can give another good account. Won at Beverley in May and has continued in good form; can go well again.
6th	9 6th (9) (8/1 +20%) Hot Scoop	8 8/1(+20%)	(9) Hot Scoop 8/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022, though stepped back in right direction when 2¾ lengths fifth of 12 to Mehmo in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to soft, 17/2) 10 days ago, first home in group. Place claims if able to build on that. Not disgraced when fifth at Beverley ten days ago; one for the shortlist off same mark.
7th	4 7th (4) (8.5/1 +6%) Stallone	8.5 8.5/1(+6%)	(4) Stallone 8.5/1, Won at Newcastle in May before following up at Southwell in June. Excuses when seventh of 13 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) 13 days ago, bumped at the start and left poorly placed away from main action. Winless on turf since 2019. Best forgiven his latest Hamilton 7th after being bumped at start; he needs considering.
8th	5 8th (5) (40/1 -150%) Manila Style	40 40/1(-150%)	(5) Manila Style 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1, seventh of 12 in maiden at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Something to find on form. Only modest form shown but not discounted now handicapping with cheekpieces added.
9th	2 9th (2) (9/1 +0%) Rajmeister	9 9/1(+0%)	(2) Rajmeister 9/1, Won apprentices event at Nottingham in April before also scoring at Redcar in May. Below form sixth of 13 in handicap (11/1) at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Others more persuasive. Best forgiven latest Hamilton 6th when racing with a shoe missing; can bounce back.

LTO Selection:

14:00 Thirsk Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Mehmo justified favouritism at Beverley and is now asked to carry a 5lb penalty, which is negated by Joe Bradnam's claim, so he is likely to be bang there again. However, the one to side with could be FORESEEABLE FUTURE, who was just denied over 6f at Yarmouth and reappears before his revised rating kicks in, so is fancied to take full advantage. Manila Style warrants a market check on his handicap bow.

A decent race of its type, with several arriving in peak form. LATIN FIVE looks primed to strike for the first time in over a year after several promising recent efforts, travelling best when beaten by a better-placed rival at Beverley last time. Mehmo is effectively able to race from the same mark as when scoring on the same card as Latin Five last week and merits plenty of respect again, whilst Foreseeable Future was narrowly denied at Yarmouth on his previous outing and can't be ruled out.

14:35 Thirsk Stakes (Class 4) 7f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (1.62/1 +60%) Darnation	1.62 1.62/1(+60%)	(4) Darnation 1.62/1, Too Darn Hot filly from the family of Blue Bunting. Easy to back but showed plenty to work on when third of 7 in minor event at Haydock (7f, firm, 15/2) on debut 21 days ago. May well do better still. Encouraging Haydock debut 3rd; Too Darn Hot filly can build on it; firmly in the picture.
2	10 2nd (10) (1/1 +9%) Nighteyes	1 1/1(+9%)	(10) Nighteyes 1/1, Night of Thunder filly. Has progressed with each run so far, beaten only by an above-average newcomer when second of 8 in minor event at York (6f, good to firm, 13/8) 14 days ago. The one to beat. Improving filly; second in 6f York novice latest; more to offer so holds leading claims.
3	2 3rd (2) (11/1 -38%) Cloudy Skye	11 11/1(-38%)	(2) Cloudy Skye 11/1, €20,000F, 60,000Y: Fifth foal: Half-sister to 7f winner Turbo Command and 2-y-o 5f winner (stays 7f) Mythical Molly. Appealing newcomer. In good hands so Gleneagles filly is much respected, especially if market vibes positive.
4	7 4th (7) (20/1 -43%) Lingua Franca	20 20/1(-43%)	(7) Lingua Franca 20/1, Foaled February 16. Study of Man filly. Half-sister to smart 8.5f-1¼m winner Le Don de Vie and useful 1½m winner Law of The Sea. Bred to be useful but pedigree suggests she'll improve with time. Half-sister to 2 useful winners; in very good hands but the market can guide.
5th	8 5th (8) (25/1 -213%) Love You Darling	25 25/1(-213%)	(8) Love You Darling 25/1, Land Force filly. Bumped into an exciting prospect when second in minor event at Leicester (7f) on debut but didn't look entirely straightforward when only fourth of 7 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. In the frame in 7f novices at Leicester and Newmarket; blinkers on with a bit more needed.
6th	9 6th (9) (80/1 -60%) Madame Christine	80 80/1(-60%)	(9) Madame Christine 80/1, Foaled February 14. 48,000 gns yearling, 32,000 gns 2-y-o, Havana Grey filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 1¼m-1¾m winner Beat The Breeze and winner up to 6f Classic Flyer. Dam unraced. Yard not associated with debut winners. Havana Grey filly who is half-sister to five winners; betting can prove accurate indicator.
7th	6 7th (6) (66/1 +0%) Happy Helen	66 66/1(+0%)	(6) Happy Helen 66/1, Golden Horn filly. 16/1, very green when last of 8 in minor event at Haydock (7f, good to firm) on debut 34 days ago. Looks one for middle distances. Very green when last on her debut in 7f novice at Haydock; looks one for the longer term.
8th	11 8th (11) (66/1 +0%) Scarbados	66 66/1(+0%)	(11) Scarbados 66/1, Magna Grecia filly. Raced too freely when sixth of 8 in minor event at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) on debut 28 days ago. More needed here. Hinted at promise when debut sixth in 7f novice at Doncaster; she can build on it now.
9th	12 9th (12) (125/1 -89%) White Lines	125 125/1(-89%)	(12) White Lines 125/1, Foaled April 6. Estidhkaar filly. Closely related to winner abroad by Alhebayeb and half-sister to 3 winners, including French 1m winner Hanabi. Dam unraced. Not an obvious debut winner on paper. Closely related to prolific Italian 5f-6.7f winner Pantalica; newcomer is no forlorn hope.
10th	3 10th (3) (250/1 -658%) Curious Mrs Fox	250 250/1(-658%)	(3) Curious Mrs Fox 250/1, Foaled March 9. Dragon Dancer filly. Dam, maiden (stayed 12.5f) out of smart 6f-1m winner Emily Blake. Hard to fancy on paper. Fair pedigree but others appeal more on this occasion.
11th	5 11th (5) (250/1 -100%) Divergency	250 250/1(-100%)	(5) Divergency 250/1, Mehmas filly. Little show in maidens at Ripon and Haydock. Needs to leave that form well behind. Mehmas filly who has beaten just one rival in maidens at Ripon and Haydock this summer.
12th	1 12th (1) (11/1 -69%) Carabella	11 11/1(-69%)	(1) Carabella 11/1, Caravaggio filly. 7/4, showed ability amidst inexperience when second of 6 in maiden at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft) on debut 15 days ago. Leading player. Promising debut second in 7f Carlisle maiden; can step forward; must enter calculations.

LTO Selection:

14:35 Thirsk Stakes (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

NIGHTEYES has hit the crossbar the last twice but her latest effort at York, when denied by just under a length, was arguably her best and she sets a pretty high standard for a race of this type with a rating of 80. Darnation shaped well when third on debut at Haydock and, with normal improvement, she could have a say. Any market support for 60,000gns purchase Cloudy Skye should be noted.

NIGHTEYES sets a clear standard here and will take plenty of beating having bumped into a potentially smart rival at York last time. Darnation appeals as the type to step forward with her debut under her belt and merits plenty of respect alongside Carabella, with Cloudy Skye the most appealing of the newcomers.

David O'Meara's improving NIGHTEYES holds the edge on both form and experience and can go one better than her excellent York second.

15:10 Thirsk Handicap (Class 5) 6f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (1.75/1 +30%) Game Breaker	1.75 1.75/1(+30%)	(2) Game Breaker 1.75/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 9 in minor event at Beverley (5f, good to firm, 2/1) 21 days ago. May do better now sent handicapping. Good second in a C&D novice in June; not so good last time but interesting on h'cap debut.
2	4 2nd (4) (4/1 +33%) Woodleigh	4 4/1(+33%)	(4) Woodleigh 4/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 14/1, fifth of 8 in minor event at Haydock (7f, good to firm) 22 days ago, having run of race. Makes handicap debut. Others preferred. Didn't stay 7f in strong Haydock maiden last time; interesting down in grade back at 6f.
3	8 3rd (8) (40/1 -60%) Louella	40 40/1(-60%)	(8) Louella 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 40/1, sixth of 7 in minor event at Ripon (5f, good to firm) 51 days ago. Work to do on handicap debut. Modest efforts over 5f and needs to improve for the step up to 6f on her handicap debut.
4	5 4th (5) (10/1 -43%) Chat Up Line	10 10/1(-43%)	(5) Chat Up Line 10/1, Much improved when taking 9-runner nursery at Nottingham (6.1f, soft, 14/1) 10 days ago, slowly away. Carries 6 lb penalty for that victory but another bold bid is anticipated. Off the mark in nursery last week; this is stronger and has a stiffer task with a penalty.
5th	6 5th (6) (50/1 -25%) Come On Irene	50 50/1(-25%)	(6) Come On Irene 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 66/1, last of 13 in minor event at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 34 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Others have achieved more. Handicap debut, but rather disappointing since fair first run in a maiden here in May..
6th	3 6th (3) (6.5/1 -8%) Ninety Nine	6.5 6.5/1(-8%)	(3) Ninety Nine 6.5/1, Built on encouraging debut effort when taking 5-runner maiden at Hamilton (5f, good, 13/8) last month and remains open to further improvement on switch to nurseries. Beat good yardstick when off the mark last time (5f); longer trip should suit; good chance.
7th	1 7th (1) (3.5/1 -56%) Indication Call	3.5 3.5/1(-56%)	(1) Indication Call 3.5/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Ayr in May. Second of 4 in nursery at Hamilton (5f, good, 5/1) 8 days ago. Should give another good account. All runs over 5f; fair 2nd on h'cap debut last week when shaping as though 6f will suit.
8th	7 8th (7) (8/1 +11%) Doubletalk	8 8/1(+11%)	(7) Doubletalk 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden who got back on track when second of 6 in nursery at Pontefract (6f, good, 7/1) 7 days ago, running on. 2 lb rise fair and ought to go well again. Improved form when close 2nd to a previous nursery winner last week; should go well again.
9th	9 9th (9) (150/1 -275%) Dandy Fitz	150 150/1(-275%)	(9) Dandy Fitz 150/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 66/1, last of 7 in minor event at Chester (6.1f, soft) 14 days ago. Likely best watched on handicap bow. Modest efforts so far, including on first run since gelded, over 6f at Chester.

LTO Selection:

15:10 Thirsk Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Doubletalk stepped forward to claim second on her handicap bow at Pontefract and she has been raised just 2lb, which should see her in contention once more. However, the vote goes to CHAT UP LINE, who did it nicely when scoring by a length at Nottingham and she could make it a double, even with a 6lb penalty to carry. Louella warrants a market check on her nursery debut.

CHAT UP LINE got off the mark in similar conditions at Nottingham last time and makes fair appeal in her follow-up bid. Doubletalk and Ninety Nine can also make their presence felt.

Hamilton winner NINETY NINE is capable of further improvement and is taken to beat Game Breaker, Woodleigh and Doubletalk.

15:45 Thirsk Handicap (Class 5) 8f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (0.67/1 +51%) Vondelpark	0.67 0.67/1(+51%)	(1) Vondelpark 0.67/1, Good third at RIpon on return but raced too freely when seventh of 8 in handicap (9/1) at Wetherby (10f, good to firm) 52 days ago. Sets a decent standard if able to bounce back having since been gelded. Fair 1m winner; too free over 1m2f at Wetherby latest; since gelded; a player back at 1m.
2	6 2nd (6) (14/1 +13%) Lukla	14 14/1(+13%)	(6) Lukla 14/1, Poor form. Sixth of 7 in seller (100/1) at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) 21 days ago, slowly away. Up in trip. Not easy to make a case for. Has failed to finish better than sixth in five starts this season; hard to make a case for.
3	3 3rd (3) (3.5/1 -17%) Duke Of Wybourne	3.5 3.5/1(-17%)	(3) Duke Of Wybourne 3.5/1, Runner-up at Newcastle in April and wasn't disgraced from a slipping mark when sixth of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Can give a good account. Yet to get head in front but solid Doncaster 6th latest; one to consider off falling mark.
4	4 4th (4) (11/1 -10%) Valstar	11 11/1(-10%)	(4) Valstar 11/1, Good second at Doncaster on return but tricky to fancy on recent efforts, faring no better in a change of headgear when sixth of 7 in handicap (14/1) at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Resumed with a good Doncaster second (1m) in April but she's been well below par since.
5th	5 5th (5) (14/1 -65%) The Van Man	14 14/1(-65%)	(5) The Van Man 14/1, Hasn't really progressed from his debut and has finished down the field in a pair on handicaps this year. Hard to fancy. Yet to offer much in either start this term; something to prove in bid for a maiden win.
6th	2 6th (2) (12/1 -140%) Camusdarach	12 12/1(-140%)	(2) Camusdarach 12/1, Yet to really threaten this season, probably doing too much too soon when last of 7 in handicap at Carlisle (9f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Last of 7 at Catterick 15 days ago; ridden aggressively there so not ruled out back at 1m.

LTO Selection:

15:45 Thirsk Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Dropping in trip and into a selling handicap can help for VONDELPARK, who struggled at Wetherby when last seen but has been gelded since. Gemma Tutty's charge is the only previous winner in the race and has gone quite well at this venue before. Camusdarach has the ability to figure at this level and, along with the lightly-weighted Lukla, can give the selection something to think about.

Hard to be bullish about anything in this contest, though VONDELPARK makes most appeal in the hope that his recent gelding op could help allay his free-going tendencies. Duke of Wybourne stopped the slide to some extent at Doncaster last time and is most feared, with Camusdarach a very tentative pick for third.

16:20 Thirsk Stakes (Class 5) 6f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (3.5/1 -40%) Snafiya	3.5 3.5/1(-40%)	(2) Snafiya 3.5/1, First run since leaving George Boughey and advanced her form when winning 7-runner novice event at Doncaster (6f, soft) 6 days ago. Didn't look totally straightforward in the process, though. Off the mark with comfortable 6f win on soft; possibilities but low draw not ideal.
2	7 2nd (7) (4.5/1 +82%) Only In Jakarta	4.5 4.5/1(+82%)	(7) Only In Jakarta 4.5/1, Cost plenty and from a good sprinting family but didn't show that much when tenth of 12 in maiden at Haydock (6f, good) on debut 64 days ago. 310,000gns yearling; over 12l tenth of 12 at 20-1 on Haydock debut; needs to improve.
3	1 3rd (1) (0.91/1 +48%) Labalaba	0.91 0.91/1(+48%)	(1) Labalaba 0.91/1, Confirmed debut promise when winning 7-runner maiden at Ffos Las (6f, good, 30/100) 24 days ago. Should improve again so bold bid under a penalty expected. Has run to an RPR of 83 on both starts so far, last time winning 6f maiden; obvious chance.
4	11 4th (11) (66/1 -313%) War Memorial	66 66/1(-313%)	(11) War Memorial 66/1, Foaled January 20. Mondialiste gelding. Brother to 2-y-o 6f winner Pop World. Third foal to race; brother to a 6f winner; likely to be better for the run.
5th	5 5th (5) (10/1 -25%) Indivar	10 10/1(-25%)	(5) Indivar 10/1, Shaped well amidst greenness when second starting out at Ayr but disappointing when fifth of 13 in novice event at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 34 days ago. Second at Ayr on debut (form not worked out) but well beaten next time; others stronger.
6th	8 6th (8) (150/1 -200%) Sergeant Mayer	150 150/1(-200%)	(8) Sergeant Mayer 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. 80/1, fifth of 12 in maiden at Beverley (5f, good) 20 days ago. Not shown much so far and would be a surprise winner.
7th	6 7th (6) (10/1 -25%) Mushterek	10 10/1(-25%)	(6) Mushterek 10/1, Merely matched debut form when fourth of 8 in maiden at Nottingham (5f, good) 54 days ago, not knocked about. Fair efforts in two maidens over 6f and 5f but improvement needed.
8th	3 8th (3) (125/1 -279%) Act Of Violence	125 125/1(-279%)	(3) Act Of Violence 125/1, Foaled April 12. £16,000 yearling, Outstrip gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners, including 2-y-o 5f winner Le Beau Garcon. Dam 6f winner. £16,000 yearling; half-brother to a couple of 2yo winners; likely to be better for the run.
9th	10 9th (10) (66/1 -65%) Space Ninja	66 66/1(-65%)	(10) Space Ninja 66/1, Twice-raced maiden. Sixth of 8 in minor event (14/1) at Newcastle (6f) 29 days ago. Beaten nearly 10l on both starts, the latest on Tapeta at Newcastle; has plenty to find.
10th	4 10th (4) (16/1 +20%) Bury Lane	16 16/1(+20%)	(4) Bury Lane 16/1, Foaled March 11. Advertise colt. Dam unraced. Second foal; dam unraced sister to 5f/6f winner Boundary Lane; could go well on debut.
11th	12 11th (12) (28/1 -100%) Wichahpi	28 28/1(-100%)	(12) Wichahpi 28/1, Foaled March 3. Sioux Nation filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 6f-1m winner Rocket Power and 5f-6f winner Twilight Madness, both useful. Dam 5f/6f winner. Newcomer by Sioux Nation who is related to five winners; dam won over 5f/6f; interesting.
12th	9 12th (9) (200/1 -100%) Showboated	200 200/1(-100%)	(9) Showboated 200/1, 66/1, last of 6 in maiden at Ayr (6f, firm) 45 days ago. Has finished last at 66-1 on his two starts; has since been gelded; others stronger.

LTO Selection:

16:20 Thirsk Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

LABALABA won a Ffos Las maiden with something in hand and keeping the son of Sioux Nation to novice company could be a good move at this stage. The Crisfords' colt was a well-supported favourite to build upon a pleasing Salisbury introduction and he can double up before he heads off into deeper waters. Last weekend's Doncaster scorer Snafiya is feared most, with Mushterek and Indivar also considered.

LABALABA landed the odds without too much fuss at Ffos Las and, with the promise of more to come, he can successfully defy a penalty. Snafiya also won last time and is a big threat for all she may not be totally straightforward. Wichahpi also makes some appeal on paper.

16:55 Thirsk Handicap (Class 5) 6f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (3/1 +14%) Isle Of Dreams	3 3/1(+14%)	(1) Isle Of Dreams 3/1, Completed the 5-timer in determined fashion when beating 14-rivals over C&D in April. Off 7 weeks, only third of 5 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, firm) 51 days ago. Suspect she can get back on the up. Winning run came to an end on fast ground last time; interesting back on softer going.
2	4 2nd (4) (8/1 -23%) Destined	8 8/1(-23%)	(4) Destined 8/1, Made a successful reappearance in a 15-runner novice at Redcar (6f, good to soft) 26 days ago, keeping on well. Didn't look at home on the track when below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Leicester (6f, good, 6/5f) 59 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Chance on her Redcar novice win over 6f on good to soft in May (Woobay third).
3	2 3rd (2) (10/1 -25%) Jill Rose	10 10/1(-25%)	(2) Jill Rose 10/1, C&D winner. Seventh of 11 in handicap at Chester (7f, soft, 16/1) on return 14 days ago. Could build on that. Mudlark; will be better for comeback run; could go well if the ground gets even softer.
4	8 4th (8) (40/1 +20%) Saleet	40 40/1(+20%)	(8) Saleet 40/1, Last of 6 in seller at this C&D (good, 7/2) 49 days ago. Happier stronger for yard. Novice winner last season (6f, good) but hasn't been in the best of form this term.
5th	3 5th (3) (4.5/1 +50%) Woobay	4.5 4.5/1(+50%)	(3) Woobay 4.5/1, 3/1, creditable second of 9 in handicap at Haydock (5f, soft) 6 days ago. Has a race like this in her. 0-7 but two good runs over 5f recently; stays 6f and suited by soft going; a possible.
6th	6 6th (6) (2.25/1 +10%) Run This Way	2.25 2.25/1(+10%)	(6) Run This Way 2.25/1, Fourteen runs since last win (over C&D) in 2022.

LTO Selection:

16:55 Thirsk Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

WOOBAY has been threatening to land a race of this nature of late and the return to 6f could prove a tonic that helps Phillip Makin's filly shed her maiden tag at the eighth time of asking. Happier also arrives on the back of two runner-up efforts and is feared most with first-time cheekpieces expected to aid her cause, while better is expected from the lightly-raced Destined, who was successful in her only previous outing on rain-softened going.

ISLE OF DREAMS is fancied to get back on the up returned to the scene of her last victory. Run This Way was well backed and would have finished closer with better luck at Pontefract last week and could come good again. Happier just failed at Hamilton and has a big shout back against her own sex in first-time headgear.
