14:10 Thirsk Stakes (Class 6) 6f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (12/1 +14%) Flavius Titus	12 12/1(+14%)	(4) Flavius Titus 12/1, Modest gelding. Last of 10 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good to soft, 14/1) 32 days ago. Runner-up in a similar race to this on penultimate start at Ripon but others make more appeal on balance. Second at this level at Ripon in June; ground reportedly too soft latest; needs a revival.
2	2 2nd (2) (2.25/1 +18%) Chester Le Streak	2.25 2.25/1(+18%)	(2) Chester Le Streak 2.25/1, Modest gelding. 15/2, respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 37 days ago. Entitled to come on for that seasonal reappearance and he has a good chance at the weights. Fair chance on last season's best and last month's return should have sharpened him up.
3	12 3rd (12) (22/1 -120%) Red Walls	22 22/1(-120%)	(12) Red Walls 22/1, Modest gelding. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 9/2, fifth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 17 days ago, hampered. 0-19 on turf. Five-time AW winner, all over 5f; unplaced in ten runs over 5.5f+.
4	13 4th (13) (5/1 +17%) Somewhere Secret	5 5/1(+17%)	(13) Somewhere Secret 5/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Fourth of 9 in handicap (9/1) at this course (5f, good to soft) 14 days ago. That was his best effort for a while and he's in with a shout on these terms. Not found his best for new yard but down into a 0-50 and last time was more promising.
5th	11 5th (11) (18/1 -29%) Red Bravo	18 18/1(-29%)	(11) Red Bravo 18/1, Poor gelding. Two wins from 52 Flat runs. 33/1, bit below form fifth of 11 in handicap at Ffos Las (6f, heavy) 11 days ago. No more than an each-way squeak. Infrequent winner; dropping to 6f didn't help last time and others look safer.
6th	16 6th (16) (22/1 +0%) Made Of Lir	22 22/1(+0%)	(16) Made Of Lir 22/1, Modest filly. Latest win at Ripon in June. 25/1, ninth of 12 in minor event at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Blinkers back on. Needs to bounce back. 6f win in June came at this level; return to sprinting in his favour; one to consider.
7th	3 7th (3) (150/1 -50%) Fighting Chance	150 150/1(-50%)	(3) Fighting Chance 150/1, 150/1, last of 11 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good) 3 days ago. Best to look elsewhere. Poor and exposed maiden who makes no appeal.
8th	6 8th (6) (16/1 +52%) Koropick	16 16/1(+52%)	(6) Koropick 16/1, Poor gelding. C&D winner. Two wins from 49 Flat runs (latest success gained back in 2017). Respectable sixth of 10 in handicap (28/1) at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) 7 days ago, hampered. Looks vulnerable on these terms. Veteran who remains opposable, even at this level.
9th	10 9th (10) (20/1 +0%) Point Of Woods	20 20/1(+0%)	(10) Point Of Woods 20/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 28/1, last of 12 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 37 days ago. Chance if rediscovering old form but not so much based on recent exploits. Two course wins; this year's form is poor but there have been flickers of promise.
10th	5 10th (5) (14/1 -17%) Highland Queen	14 14/1(-17%)	(5) Highland Queen 14/1, Modest filly. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Redcar (6f, soft, 15/2) when last seen in April. Record stands at 0-12 and more needed if she's to get her head in front here. Quiet in the spring and her best turf efforts have come on faster ground.
11th	1 11th (1) (5/1 +58%) Cheese The One	5 5/1(+58%)	(1) Cheese The One 5/1, Modest filly. C&D winner. 15/2, bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, soft) 52 days ago, slowly away. Likely to find a few too good on these terms. Two wins last September, one of them over C&D; quiet for new yard in 2023.
12th	9 12th (9) (8.5/1 +0%) Muatadel	8.5 8.5/1(+0%)	(9) Muatadel 8.5/1, Modest gelding. Twenty-four runs since last win in 2021. Seventh of 8 in handicap (9/1) at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) 12 days ago, slowly away. Place possibilities. Form dipped last time but returning to 6f no problem and he's got e-w claims on 2023 best.
13th	15 13th (15) (20/1 -43%) Loveliest	20 20/1(-43%)	(15) Loveliest 20/1, Modest filly. Tenth of 12 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good, 22/1) 34 days ago. Runner-up in a 5f handicap here in June, and a reproduction of that effort would put her firmly in the picture. Two placed efforts this summer but her form has dipped the last twice; risky.
14th	14 14th (14) (28/1 -75%) Amazing Arthur	28 28/1(-75%)	(14) Amazing Arthur 28/1, Poor gelding. 8/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 31 days ago. Others preferred. Minor promise on fast ground this summer but headgear didn't help last time; vulnerable.
15th	8 15th (8) (33/1 -32%) Mokaman	33 33/1(-32%)	(8) Mokaman 33/1, 12/1, last of 6 in handicap at Ayr (5f, heavy) 11 days ago. Readily passed over. Low-key seasonal return 11 days ago; stamina not assured but this is a drop in grade.

LTO Selection:

14:10 Thirsk Stakes (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

John Wainwright has a couple of live contenders in the shape of Muatadel and KRAKEN FLORIDA, with the latter preferred now he tries a visor for the first time. The four-year-old will be having only his eighth start on turf and looks the type to raise his game now he drops back in trip at this level. Recent form suggests Somewhere Secret is another capable of going close, while Cheese The One enters calculations too.

CHESTER LE STREAK can be expected to come on for his belated seasonal reappearance spin over this C&D last month, and while he would have something to prove if the ground is on the slow side, his claims are otherwise pretty strong in a race of this nature. If able to reproduce form akin to her effort in a 5f handicap here in June Loveliest would be a threat, while Muatadel and Somewhere Secret are also worthy of consideration.

An unconvincing bunch. Chester Le Streak is feared but POINT OF WOODS might be worth chancing at the likely rewarding odds.

14:40 Thirsk Stakes (Class 4) 5f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

1	1 1st (1) (1.1/1 -10%) Rocket Money	1.1 1.1/1(-10%)	(1) Rocket Money 1.1/1, Confirmed previous promise to win won 9-runner minor event at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 35 days ago, just holding on. Capable of following up. Took another step forward when winning narrowly at Beverley (5f); penalised accordingly..
2	8 2nd (8) (7/1 +50%) Toosha	7 7/1(+50%)	(8) Toosha 7/1, Once-raced maiden. 12/1, fourth of 5 in maiden at Sandown (5f, good) on debut 16 days ago, considerately handled. Likely more to come at some point. Slowly away on Sandown debut but hasn't much to find with Reflexion Faite; consult market..
3	5 3rd (5) (8/1 -78%) Reflexion Faite	8 8/1(-78%)	(5) Reflexion Faite 8/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Second of 5 in maiden (25/1) at Sandown (5f, good) 16 days ago, no match for winner. Could improve further, so worth considering. Marked step forward when back to 5f at Sandown (second); the pick for K. Philippart De Foy.
4	4 4th (4) (7/1 +22%) Heritage House	7 7/1(+22%)	(4) Heritage House 7/1, Twice-raced maiden. Seventh of 12 in minor event (11/2) at Windsor (6f, good) 18 days ago. More required. Ran to a similar level in both starts (Yarmouth, 5f & Windsor, 6f); probably needs more..
5th	6 5th (6) (9/1 +55%) Newport Bay	9 9/1(+55%)	(6) Newport Bay 9/1, Once-raced maiden. 17/2, sixth of 12 in maiden at Catterick (5f, good to firm) on debut 30 days ago. Could benefit from that initial experience. Raced keenly and predictably weakened when sixth of 12 on Catterick debut (5f; 17-2)..
6th	3 6th (3) (22/1 +21%) Haumea	22 22/1(+21%)	(3) Haumea 22/1, Twice-raced maiden. Last of 7 in maiden at Pontefract (5f, good to soft, 6/1) 12 days ago. Looks a handicap type. Fared okay at Beverley (fifth); disappointing at Pontefract since; others are more obvious.
7th	9 7th (9) (14/1 -75%) Very Blue Moon	14 14/1(-75%)	(9) Very Blue Moon 14/1, Twice-raced maiden. 50/1, third of 10 in maiden at Beverley (5f, soft) 18 days ago. Claims if she's able to take another step forward. Kept going for longer when placed at Beverley (5f, hvy) last time; others appear stronger..
8th	10 8th (10) (9/1 -20%) Eyes Closed	9 9/1(-20%)	(10) Eyes Closed 9/1, Foaled March 28. €22,000 yearling, U S Navy Flag filly. Half-sister to useful 2-y-o 5f winner Proverb. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. One to note on debut. 22,000euros yearling; second foal from a 6f juvenile winner (RPR 78); market helpful..
9th	7 9th (7) (40/1 -21%) Stoneacre Girl	40 40/1(-21%)	(7) Stoneacre Girl 40/1, Once-raced maiden. 22/1, twelfth of 14 in minor event at York (5f, good to firm) on debut 56 days ago. Others preferred. Struggled to make presence felt when finishing down the field on debut at York (5f; 22-1)..

LTO Selection:

14:40 Thirsk Stakes (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

ROCKET MONEY appears to be improving with each outing and, having scored tenaciously at Beverley last month, there should be more to come from the Karl Burke-trained filly. Additionally, she has previous course experience and sticking to 5f looks to be a good move. Very Blue Moon and Toosha are others to note in the betting, with the former feared most on the evidence of her latest Beverley third.

ROCKET MONEY upped her game to score at the third attempt at Beverley last month and this isn't a strong race on paper, so she's worth a chance to defy the penalty. Newcomer Eyes Closed represents a shrewd stable and would merit plenty of respect if the market spoke in her favour, while Reflexion Fait can't be dismissed on the back of an improved showing.

The form pick is the penalised Beverley scorer ROCKET MONEY, who can hopefully overcome a potentially less favourable draw in stall 5.

8	8 (8) (2.75/1 +66%) Lexington Belle	2.75 2.75/1(+66%)	(8) Lexington Belle 2.75/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1, eighth of 10 in maiden at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Worth a market check.
2	2 (2) (4.5/1 -29%) On Borrowed Time	4.5 4.5/1(-29%)	(2) On Borrowed Time 4.5/1, Won 9-runner nursery at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft, 11/2) 24 days ago by ¾ length from Oceanic Wonder, slowly away. Likely to do better still, so merits plenty of respect.
5	5 (5) (8/1 +20%) Belle Storm	8 8/1(+20%)	(5) Belle Storm 8/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 10 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 8/1) 17 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Others have achieved more but there's scope for progress.
6	6 (6) (8/1 -100%) Oceanic Wonder	8 8/1(-100%)	(6) Oceanic Wonder 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 18/1, very good ¾-length second of 9 to On Borrowed Time in nursery at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft) 24 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Worth a chance to reverse the form.
1	1 (1) (8/1 -7%) Koji	8 8/1(-7%)	(1) Koji 8/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 17/2 and blinkered for 1st time, fifth of 10 in minor event at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) 16 days ago, slowly away. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Step up in trip should suit and she's not one to write off.
9	9 (9) (8.5/1 +0%) Louella	8.5 8.5/1(+0%)	(9) Louella 8.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, first run since leaving Roger Fell when creditable third of 9 in nursery at this course (6f, good to soft) 14 days ago. More required from this mark.
7	7 (7) (10/1 +0%) Amayretto	10 10/1(+0%)	(7) Amayretto 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 20/1, respectable seventh of 12 in nursery at York (6f, good) 27 days ago. Needs to improve.
3	3 (3) (10/1 +38%) Fly Pass	10 10/1(+38%)	(3) Fly Pass 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1, below form fourth of 8 in maiden at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 7 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Others more persuasive.
4	4 (4) (12/1 -167%) Kaaress	12 12/1(-167%)	(4) Kaaress 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 80/1, second of 7 in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f) 43 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Merits consideration.

LTO Selection:

15:10 Thirsk Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

KAARESS was far from disgraced in the valuable Rous Selling Stakes at York in June, and arguably bettered that effort with a close second in a maiden at Newcastle last time. The Ollie Pears-trained filly seems to be going the right way and she is fancied to get off the mark at the fourth time of asking. Beverley nursery winner On Borrowed Time is feared most, while Amayretto may be the pick of Tim Easterby's pair.

OCEANIC WONDER was pegged back by On Borrowed Time at Beverley last time but the former went off harder than ideal and is on better terms with her old rival, so she's taken to reverse the form in a race that the pair may dominate. Kaaress arrives on the back of an improved showing, so she's also respected.

Ollie Pears has enjoyed a fantastic season with his juveniles, so his hardy Beverley scorer ON BORROWED TIME receives the vote.

15:40 Thirsk Stakes (Class 5) 7f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
4	4 (4) (0.83/1 +40%) Nibras Angel	0.83 0.83/1(+40%)	(4) Nibras Angel 0.83/1, Promising sort. Won 6-runner maiden at Lingfield (7f, firm, 9/1) on debut 30 days ago, knuckling down well once getting the hang of things and drawing right away. Group 1 entered and can defy a penalty. Impressive on Lingfield debut (7f, good to firm) last month; holds G1 entry; interesting.
3	3 (3) (3.5/1 +13%) Mother Mary	3.5 3.5/1(+13%)	(3) Mother Mary 3.5/1, Left the form of her debut third well behind when winning 9-runner novice at Salisbury (7f, soft, 4/1) 18 days ago. May do better again. Impressive over 7f four weeks ago; more to come and she's a key player despite the penalty.
11	11 (11) (8/1 -33%) Streetzoffilly	8 8/1(-33%)	(11) Streetzoffilly 8/1, Twice-raced maiden. 33/1, second of 5 in novice at Haydock (1m, soft) 20 days ago. Down in trip. Placed in two runs this summer but she'll need progress to trouble the principals today.
8	8 (8) (12/1 +0%) Sovereign King	12 12/1(+0%)	(8) Sovereign King 12/1, Shamardal colt. Dam winner up to 9.5f (2-y-o 6f winner). Yard can ready one so interesting newcomer. Dam Listed winner from good family; useful standard to aim at on debut; worth market check.
7	7 (7) (12/1 +33%) Initio	12 12/1(+33%)	(7) Initio 12/1, 5/1, third of 5 in maiden at Musselburgh (7.2f, good) on debut 17 days ago. Can improve but this is tougher. Showed something to build on at Musselburgh last month; can do better but needs to.
2	2 (2) (12/1 -33%) Angel From Above	12 12/1(-33%)	(2) Angel From Above 12/1, Built on debut promise when winning 6f novice at Carlisle (soft) in June (final start for Keith Dalgleish). More needed under a penalty here. 6f winner on second start; this trip should suit; unexposed and respected on stable debut.
6	6 (6) (14/1 +13%) Crazy Crackers	14 14/1(+13%)	(6) Crazy Crackers 14/1, Twice-raced maiden. 20/1, remote second of 10 in maiden at Southwell (6.1f). Off 92 days. RPR in the mid 60s in two runs in the spring; significantly more required today.
12	12 (12) (50/1 -79%) Viscountess Renard	50 50/1(-79%)	(12) Viscountess Renard 50/1, Modest form in 2 runs this summer. Looks more one for handicaps after this. Signs of ability in two runs this summer but handicaps more suitable after this.
1	1 (1) (80/1 -60%) Armoured	80 80/1(-60%)	(1) Armoured 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. 28/1, sixth of 7 in novice at this course (8f, heavy) 6 days ago, slowly away. Modest form in two recent starts and handicaps beckon after this.
9	9 (9) (150/1 -200%) Burrows Dream	150 150/1(-200%)	(9) Burrows Dream 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. Remote third of 5 in novice (125/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 23 days ago. Ran to a modest level in two runs last month; modest handicaps more suitable after this.
13	13 (13) (150/1 -127%) Willow Baby	150 150/1(-127%)	(13) Willow Baby 150/1, Camacho filly. Half-sister to useful 7f winner Stylish Performer and winner up to 1½m Chaos Control. Dam 7f/1m winner who stayed 10.5f. Some appeal on paper but she'll need to be useful to make a winning start.
5	5 (5) (200/1 -100%) Bowood	200 200/1(-100%)	(5) Bowood 200/1, 155,000 gns yearling, £8,000 3-y-o, Siyouni gelding. Brother to useful 7f-9f winner Love And Thunder and half-brother to useful 2-y-o 7f winner Girl On Film and 6f/7f winner Golden Empire. 100/1, ninth of 11 in novice at Hamilton (8.3f, good) on debut 22 days ago. Tailed off at Hamilton (1m, good to soft; 100-1) three weeks ago; no appeal.
10	10 (10) (300/1 -355%) Minchinhampton	300 300/1(-355%)	(10) Minchinhampton 300/1, Mayson filly. Half-sister to useful winner up to 8.4f Crownthorpe. Dam, 2-y-o 5f winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 7f Charles Molson. 50/1, eighth of 10 in maiden at Pontefract (5f, good) on debut. Off 12 months. Significantly up in trip. 50-1 and never in contention in a 5f maiden 383 days ago; hard to recommend.

LTO Selection:

15:40 Thirsk Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

ANGEL FROM ABOVE got the better of a subsequent winner at Carlisle last time out and the daughter of Galileo Gold is fancied to repeat the dose, with possible improvement on the cards back over further. Mother Mary and Nibras Angel must also saddle penalties for their recent successes and are considered along with Initio, who shaped with promise on his Musselburgh debut last month.

NIBRAS ANGEL, who holds an entry in the Sun Chariot at Newmarket in October, made a winning start in taking fashion at Lingfield so looks up to defying a penalty. Mother Mary had her rivals stretched out in behind when winning a novice at Salisbury so rates the main threat, while Sovereign King is one to note from a yard that has a good record with 3-y-o newcomers.

This may rest between the three penalised runners and MOTHER MARY is preferred to Nibras Angel.

Visored for 1st time, good second of 9 in handicap (8/1) at this C&D (heavy) 6 days ago, just failing. Big player off the same mark. No win since 2yo days but been threatening, beaten a nose over C&D last week; 3lb well in.
13	13 (13) (3.33/1 +52%) Sugar Baby	3.33 3.33/1(+52%)	(13) Sugar Baby 3.33/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in June. 9/1, good third of 19 in handicap at York (5f, good) 13 days ago, faring best of those held up. Each-way shout. 2-3 over C&D and he delivered a career best when third at York latest; solid contender.
1	1 (1) (8.5/1 -13%) Blind Beggar	8.5 8.5/1(-13%)	(1) Blind Beggar 8.5/1, Latest win at Chelmsford City in February. Creditable third of 6 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good, 4/1) 13 days ago. Merits consideration. Dangerous on his best form and latest Windsor 3rd looks solid; one to take seriously.
2	2 (2) (11/1 -69%) May Blossom	11 11/1(-69%)	(2) May Blossom 11/1, Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Newmarket (5f, good, 15/8) 13 days ago, slowly away. Visor back on and merits respect in her hat-trick bid. Chasing a hat-trick after Class 5 wins at Nottingham and Newmarket last month; respected.
7	7 (7) (11/1 -47%) Nelson Gay	11 11/1(-47%)	(7) Nelson Gay 11/1, 11/2, didn't need to improve to win 14-runner handicap at Newcastle (5f) 42 days ago by head from Dandy Dinmont. Remains on a feasible mark up 2 lb but strike rate on turf (1-21) is modest. Off mark for new yard at Newcastle 6 weeks ago; still fairly treated; drying ground a plus.
6	6 (6) (12/1 -20%) Dandy Dinmont	12 12/1(-20%)	(6) Dandy Dinmont 12/1, 5/1, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good) 17 days ago. Place possibilities. Good 2nd to Nelson Gay in June; creditable runs since; should run his race once more.
14	14 (14) (12/1 -9%) Secret Road	12 12/1(-9%)	(14) Secret Road 12/1, Latest win at Fairyhouse in June. Respectable third of 7 in minor event (10/1) at Limerick (6.7f, good) 49 days ago. Down in trip on debut for new yard and he's not discounted. Improved performer in Ireland this summer; down in trip on stable debut; respected.
5	5 (5) (12/1 +14%) Riversway	12 12/1(+14%)	(5) Riversway 12/1, Latest win at Haydock in June. Sixth of 7 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, firm, 6/1) 35 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Good strike-rate; overraced early when well held latest; not fully exposed just yet.
3	3 (3) (12/1 +25%) Khabib	12 12/1(+25%)	(3) Khabib 12/1, 18/1, below form ninth of 18 in handicap at York (5f, good) 28 days ago. Others make more appeal. Not found his very best on turf this summer but eased in grade & has gone well here before.
11	11 (11) (16/1 +0%) Saaheq	16 16/1(+0%)	(11) Saaheq 16/1, Latest win at Chelmsford City in May. 8¼ lengths eighth of 11 to May Blossom in handicap (9/1) at Nottingham (5f, soft) 24 days ago. In good form prior to that and he's not ruled out. Two AW wins in 2023; below par on soft latest but better than that; still looks vulnerable.
12	12 (12) (18/1 +10%) Majeski Man	18 18/1(+10%)	(12) Majeski Man 18/1, Latest win at Nottingham in May. Thirteenth of 19 in handicap at York (5f, good, 18/1) 13 days ago. Others make more appeal from a win point of view. Two wins in May and back to his last winning mark; quiet more recently though.
4	4 (4) (25/1 -39%) Sparkling Red	25 25/1(-39%)	(4) Sparkling Red 25/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Redcar in May. 9/1, last of 7 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, firm) 35 days ago. Perhaps a shade too high in the weights for now. Yard also saddles Nelson Gay and Havagomecca. Two 5f wins, including C&D; below par latest and no easy task trying to dominate here.
9	9 (9) (25/1 -25%) Havagomecca	25 25/1(-25%)	(9) Havagomecca 25/1, Latest win at Musselburgh in May. Sixteenth of 18 in handicap at York (5f, good, 33/1) 28 days ago. Has fallen to a workable mark and would be a threat if she were to stage a return to form. Talented but often pulls hard; good mark if demands of this race spark a full revival.
8	8 (8) (28/1 -12%) Glory Fighter	28 28/1(-12%)	(8) Glory Fighter 28/1, Latest win at Catterick in June. Eighteenth of 19 in handicap (22/1) at York (5f, good) 13 days ago. Others more persuasive. Failed to fire at York the last twice; headgear now dispensed with; others look stronger.
16	16 (16) (50/1 -52%) Lezardrieux	50 50/1(-52%)	(16) Lezardrieux 50/1, Latest win at Catterick in May. Tenth of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, soft, 12/1) 15 days ago. Others make greater appeal. 6f winner in May; not so convincing since and opposable back at 5f.
15	15 (15) (66/1 -32%) Object	66 66/1(-32%)	(15) Object 66/1, Last of 16 in handicap (33/1) at York (6f, good) 14 days ago. Hopes pinned on the first-time cheekpieces helping to spark a return to form. Struggled on the whole for new yard but easily his best run came over C&D; headgear added.

LTO Selection:

16:10 Thirsk Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

LE BEAU GARCON has yet to add to his two juvenile victories, but the signs have been much more encouraging for the son of Brazen Beau recently. Only narrowly denied over C&D six days ago when fitted with a visor for the first time, he is able to compete from an unchanged mark and must hold every chance of going one better today. May Blossom merits the utmost respect as she bids to supplement last month's quick-fire double, while Nelson Gay, Sparkling Red and Majeski Man round off the shortlist in what looks a wide-open sprint.

It's been a while since LE BEAU GARCON last got his head in front but he failed by a whisker over this C&D in a first-time visor (retained) recently and, turned out again quickly before his new mark kicks in (due to go up 3 lb), he gets the nod. There are several likely dangers, headed by Blind Beggar and Irish-import Secret Road, while the hat-trick seeking May Blossom, Saaheq and Sugar Baby are others that could take a hand in the finish.

Le Beau Garcon is well in and should go close but SUGAR BABY (nap), 2-3 over C&D, is still improving and gets the nod.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 (1) (3/1 +0%) Moulin Booj	3 3/1(+0%)	(1) Moulin Booj 3/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in August. 4/5, second of 4 in handicap at Ffos Las (5f, heavy) 3 days ago, no match for winner. Carries penalty. Shortlist material. Easy 5f winner last week; 2nd on heavy on Tuesday (odds-on); still not fully exposed.
2	2 (2) (3.33/1 +33%) Headabovetherest	3.33 3.33/1(+33%)	(2) Headabovetherest 3.33/1, Good second of 13 in handicap (18/1) at Newcastle (6f) 8 days ago, faring best of those held up. Worth a chance to go one better. Strong finish to take 2nd at Newcastle last week; 2lb well in; unexposed as a sprinter.
15	15 (15) (3.5/1 +22%) Howyadoin	3.5 3.5/1(+22%)	(15) Howyadoin 3.5/1, 12/1, creditable third of 12 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 37 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Tim Easterby. Merits plenty of respect. 0-15 for former yard but close 3rd over C&D on latest run; one to consider on stable debut.
3	3 (3) (9/1 +59%) Ohnojoe	9 9/1(+59%)	(3) Ohnojoe 9/1, 8/1, last of 9 in handicap at Catterick (5f, good) 23 days ago. Becoming well treated, so claims if he's able to bounce back. Down in weights; there are risks but returning to 6f a plus, as is the form of his yard.
6	6 (6) (12/1 +52%) Lady Roamer	12 12/1(+52%)	(6) Lady Roamer 12/1, Tenth of 11 in handicap (28/1) at Chelmsford City (8f) 17 days ago. Down in trip. Blinkers on 1st time. Has work to do. Needs improvement but dropping to 6f in first-time blinkers could spark it.
8	8 (8) (12/1 -100%) Spirit In My Soul	12 12/1(-100%)	(8) Spirit In My Soul 12/1, First run since leaving Adrian Nicholls when blinkered for 1st time, won 13-runner handicap at Redcar (6f, good to firm, 5/1) 48 days ago. Should go well again if the headgear continues to have a positive effect. Winning stable debut when tried in blinkers seven weeks ago (6f, good); still on fair mark.
4	4 (4) (14/1 +0%) Wurkin Ninetofive	14 14/1(+0%)	(4) Wurkin Ninetofive 14/1, 11/2, last of 8 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good) 4 days ago, reported to have lost her action. Ran with credit on penultimate outing, so not one to write off. 0-8 but has shown some promise; below par dropped to 5f on Monday; each-way claims.
10	10 (10) (18/1 -80%) Jack Of Clubs	18 18/1(-80%)	(10) Jack Of Clubs 18/1, Good third of 11 in handicap (6/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 23 days ago. Has slipped to an appealing mark, so can make an impact if he's able to build on that. Not progressed this year but snippets of form, including a 3rd on AW last time.
12	12 (12) (18/1 +45%) Parr Fire	18 18/1(+45%)	(12) Parr Fire 18/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Last of 15 in handicap (20/1) at Doncaster (5.6f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Others preferred. Below par in a Class 5 last time but earlier Doncaster third gives her claims.
11	11 (11) (20/1 +0%) Smooch	20 20/1(+0%)	(11) Smooch 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable seventh of 13 in handicap (33/1) at Newcastle (6f) 42 days ago. Needs to up her game. Offered hope when midfield on h'cap debut in June (6f, AW); more to come after just 4 runs.
5	5 (5) (28/1 -133%) Rodborough	28 28/1(-133%)	(5) Rodborough 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in handicap at Beverley (5f, soft, 16/1) 18 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Must improve. Two handicap runs at Beverley have offered hope of better; 6f should suit.
14	14 (14) (33/1 +0%) Storminghull	33 33/1(+0%)	(14) Storminghull 33/1, Visored for 1st time, first run since leaving Nigel Tinkler when seventh of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 4/1), running on. Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving David Brown. Likely to need it. Unplaced all 6 starts but has hinted at ability; off since Jan; no headgear; stable debut.
9	9 (9) (50/1 -52%) Stella Blue	50 50/1(-52%)	(9) Stella Blue 50/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 7 in handicap (40/1) at Hamilton (6f, good) 22 days ago. Blinkers back on. Others make more appeal. Patchy overall record but had an excuse last time and her best efforts give her claims.
7	7 (7) (80/1 -100%) Desert Illusion	80 80/1(-100%)	(7) Desert Illusion 80/1, 12/1, last of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 41 days ago. Bit to prove at present. Chance on this season's best but quiet in a visor the last twice; no headgear today.

LTO Selection:

16:40 Thirsk Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Spirit In My Soul got up in the final strides over this trip at Redcar in June and although upped 3lb for that victory, her jockey's 5lb claim negates that rise and she could go well again. Ohnojoe gets a further 3lb drop in the ratings despite some reasonable efforts over shorter and he may surprise a few with the return to six furlongs a bonus, but HEADABOVETHEREST may be the one to be on. Only beaten three-quarters of a length at Newcastle despite being hampered at the start, he may have won with a clean start and could go one better now.

HEADABOVETHEREST improved and fared best of those held up when second at Newcastle 8 days ago so, if the pace is solid, he's capable of going one better at the likely expense of the in-form Moulin Booj. Howyadoin, a former stablemate of the selection, is also of interest.

Lady Roamer could do better back sprinting but SPIRIT IN MY SOUL can maintain her unbeaten record for her new yard.

6	6 (6) (2.5/1 +44%) Prince Achille	2.5 2.5/1(+44%)	(6) Prince Achille 2.5/1, Winner at Carlisle in May. Creditable third of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (12.1f, good to firm, 7/4) 64 days ago. Should make his presence felt. Game winner at Carlisle two runs ago and placed on other two starts this season.
3	3 (3) (4.5/1 +72%) Jamih	4.5 4.5/1(+72%)	(3) Jamih 4.5/1, C&D winner. Creditable second of 6 in handicap at Beverley (12.1f, good to firm, 20/1) 35 days ago, running on. Decent each-way chance. C&D winner last summer and returns here after good second last month.
11	11 (11) (6/1 +67%) Milltown Lily	6 6/1(+67%)	(11) Milltown Lily 6/1, Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. 17/2, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, good) 23 days ago. Looks vulnerable. 20-race maiden; in frame all three starts this season but likely to come up short again.
1	1 (1) (6/1 -9%) Angel On High	6 6/1(-9%)	(1) Angel On High 6/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2020. Creditable second of 8 in handicap (2/1) at Leicester (11.8f, good) 43 days ago, just failing. Needs considering. Close/clear second at Leicester six weeks ago, and remains on a very good mark.
7	7 (7) (7/1 +30%) Marcello Si	7 7/1(+30%)	(7) Marcello Si 7/1, 11/2, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good) 37 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and he has to enter calculations. In the frame all three starts this season; contender if first-time cheekpieces help.
9	9 (9) (8.5/1 -6%) Ghostly	8.5 8.5/1(-6%)	(9) Ghostly 8.5/1, Won 10-runner handicap (9/1) at Wolverhampton (14f) 7 days ago. Escapes a penalty and he's likely to be on the premises. Escaped penalty for last week's narrow AW win and should be fine back on turf.
12	12 (12) (12/1 +25%) Mad Artymaise	12 12/1(+25%)	(12) Mad Artymaise 12/1, 11/1, creditable 8 lengths second of 10 to Lechro in handicap at Beverley (12.1f, soft) 10 days ago. Will do well to reverse placings with that rival here. Kept on for modest second in recent selling handicap; others appeal more.
10	10 (10) (20/1 +20%) Skedaddled	20 20/1(+20%)	(10) Skedaddled 20/1, Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. 12/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Back up in trip and cheekpieces back on. Others preferred. 18-race maiden; placed over C&D two starts ago but others have stronger claims.
13	13 (13) (22/1 +33%) Robin Goodfellow	22 22/1(+33%)	(13) Robin Goodfellow 22/1, 18/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Carlisle (11.2f, soft) 53 days ago. Something to find on form. Not beaten far on last couple of outings but remains a difficult horse to enthuse over.
5	5 (5) (28/1 -12%) Amourie	28 28/1(-12%)	(5) Amourie 28/1, Eighth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 16/1) 13 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and it's probably best to look elsewhere. Disappointed on AW last month and only turf win was gained off a basement mark.
14	14 (14) (50/1 -25%) Tarnhelm	50 50/1(-25%)	(14) Tarnhelm 50/1, Course winner. Three wins from 76 Flat runs. Forty-two runs since last win in 2020. 80/1, fourth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 13 days ago. Significantly up in trip and, chances are, she'll find a few too good once more. Hasn't won since June 2020 and was safely held on her first two starts this season.

LTO Selection:

17:10 Thirsk Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

LECHRO has to be of interest after the four-year-old hacked up by eight lengths in a selling handicap at Beverley over this trip on similar going earlier in the month. She has to shoulder a 5lb penalty for that success, but will be going up 8lb for future races and that suggests she is 3lb well-in at the weights today. She gets the nod to follow up, but Hamilton third Prince Achille and Wolverhampton winner Ghostly are expected to prove worthy adversaries.

This is tougher than the selling handicap LECHRO landed at Beverley last week but she did the job emphatically and will prove a tough nut to crack under a penalty here, provided she is in a similar mood. Marcello Si gets the nod ahead of Prince Achille, Angel On High and Ghostly for forecast purposes.

Preference is for ANGEL ON HIGH who ran a big race in defeat at Leicester six weeks ago and remains on a very good mark.

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.
