14:05 Thirsk Handicap (Class 5) 5f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
8	8 (8) (9/1 +10%) Death Or Glory	9 9/1(+10%)	(8) Death Or Glory 9/1, Finished runner-up on debut in a Hamilton maiden (5f, soft) in May but not progressed subsequently, twelfth of 13 in nursery (28/1) at York (6f, good to soft) 56 days ago. Needs to take a step forward here. Not at best on nursery debut last time; down in trip and down in weights but bit to prove.
1	4 1st (4) (5/2 +64%) Managing Director	2.5 5/2(+64%)	(4) Managing Director 5/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Bit below form tenth of 17 in nursery at York (6f, good to firm, 14/1) 17 days ago, done no favours by draw/track position. Marked drop in grade rates a plus and likely he has a bigger effort in his locker. This is easier than the race he contested at York on nursery debut; claims back in trip.
2	7 2nd (7) (11/2 -38%) Go On Rosie	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(7) Go On Rosie 11/2, Found some improvement for switch to nurseries, ready winner under an attacking ride at Beverley (5f) in August and matched that form after 4 days off when close-up fourth at Catterick (6f) 19 days ago. Positive ride returned to 5f should see her thereabouts again. Improved form in nurseries on last two starts; up another 3lb but claims back in trip.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/1 -100%) Brazilian Belle	9 9/1(-100%)	(3) Brazilian Belle 9/1, Left debut effort in her wake when a ready winner of a 4-runner Catterick maiden (5f, soft) in May. Took strong hold and didn't last out when tenth of 13 in Beverley conditions' event (5f) in June. Switch to handicaps a plus but opening mark demands improvement. Too free at Beverley last time but step into nurseries should suit and she's interesting.
4	2 4th (2) (14/1 -40%) Call Me Harswell	14 14/1(-40%)	(2) Call Me Harswell 14/1, Winner at Beverley in May. Creditable fifth of 10 in novice back at that venue (5f) 23 days ago, leading until over 1f out and weakening last ½f. Return to handicaps in her favour now. Well beaten sole nursery run; drop back to 5f could suit but more needed to win.
5th	1 5th (1) (5/1 +9%) Winchurch	5 5/1(+9%)	(1) Winchurch 5/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year, the latest at Musselburgh (5f) in August. 11/2, made only late headway after a sluggish start when fifth of 8 in nursery at Beverley (5f, good) 13 days ago but this drop back down in class in his favour. Not at best following a tardy start last time and may need the leaders to go off hard.
6th	9 6th (9) (10/1 -25%) Tees Aggregates	10 10/1(-25%)	(9) Tees Aggregates 10/1, Showed improved form when opening his account from the front on nursery debut at Leicester (5f) in July. Found things tougher from revised mark but still ran respectably when third of 7 in nursery at Ripon (5f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Claims of hitting the frame again. Won nursery at Leicester in July but didn't build on that at Ripon last time; place claims.
7th	6 7th (6) (7/2 +0%) Bella Love	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(6) Bella Love 7/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable second of 11 in maiden at Beverley (5f, good to firm, 4/1) 24 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Has good chance on form. String of consistent efforts so far and likely to give a good account on nursery debut.
8th	5 8th (5) (20/1 -43%) Captain Pickles	20 20/1(-43%)	(5) Captain Pickles 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 66/1, tenth of 12 in maiden at Haydock (6f, firm) 34 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Needs to bounce back making handicap debut. Below best over 6f last time but has run well over 5f; gets a hood for nursery debut.

14:05 Thirsk Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

A maiden winner at Catterick, BRAZILIAN BELLE didn't help her cause when failing to settle in a competitive conditions race at Beverley last time. Michael Dods' filly looks one to keep on the right side of now handicapping and a bold bid is anticipated. Bella Love is another likely to improve now debuting in a nursery on the back of promising efforts in maiden/novice company, while Managing Director faced a tough task at York on his nursery debut and can fare better at this lower level.

This looks wide open and it may pay to side with MANAGING DIRECTOR. He's essentially looked a work-in-progress in a handful of starts to date but will find this less demanding than his York assignment and, with his stable amongst the winners, it would come as no surprise to see him capable of better. Bella Love, on nursery debut, Winchurch and Go On Rosie are others to consider.

An open event in which it's worth going with BRAZILIAN BELLE, who ran well for a long way in the Hilary Needler last time

1	3 1st (3) (10/3 +49%) Cymbidium	3.333333 10/3(+49%)	(3) Cymbidium 10/3, Thrice-raced maiden. 17/2, eighth of 11 in novice at Haydock (7f, firm) 29 days ago. Needs to raise her game now switched to a nursery. Promise on debut but below that level since; however, should stay 1m and can do better.
2	13 2nd (13) (10/1 +29%) Testimonial	10 10/1(+29%)	(13) Testimonial 10/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 80/1, ninth of 11 in novice at Haydock (7f, firm) 29 days ago, not knocked about. Blinkers on 1st time for this nursery debut and improvement could be on the way. Has shown ability over 7f and should stay this trip but needs to improve; now blinkered.
3	1 3rd (1) (10/3 +5%) Mayor Of Maghera	3.333333 10/3(+5%)	(1) Mayor Of Maghera 10/3, Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 8-runner nursery at Musselburgh (8f, good, 9/4) 11 days ago, cosily. 5 lb rise fair and he's a must for the shortlist. Improved to win at Musselburgh upped to 1m last time; likely to go well, despite 5lb rise.
4	9 4th (9) (40/1 -150%) Bebside	40 40/1(-150%)	(9) Bebside 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Blinkered for 1st time, fourth of 6 in nursery at Leicester (7f, good to soft, 40/1) 51 days ago. Others have achieved more. Respectable effort on nursery debut and should stay 1m but needs to improve to win.
5th	6 5th (6) (12/1 +14%) Coverbridge	12 12/1(+14%)	(6) Coverbridge 12/1, Lightly-raced winner. Successful at Newcastle in June. Third of 4 in nursery at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 11/1) 22 days ago and connections now reach for cheekpieces. 7f AW winner but didn't improve for step up in trip last time; headgear on but drawn wide.
6th	8 6th (8) (11/2 +39%) Law Degree	5.5 11/2(+39%)	(8) Law Degree 11/2, Winner at Beverley in July. 11/4, 6¼ lengths fifth of 8 to Mayor of Maghera in nursery at Musselburgh (8f, good) 11 days ago. Merits consideration based on earlier form. One of 3 representing the Tim Easterby stable. Didn't improve for step up to 1m at Musselburgh last time; work to do from wide draw.
7th	7 7th (7) (13/2 -8%) Big Bug	6.5 13/2(-8%)	(7) Big Bug 13/2, Creditable third of 8 in nursery at Carlisle (6.9f, soft, 10/3) 9 days ago. Possibilities off the same mark here if the addition of blinkers has the desired effect. Best efforts, including two nursery runs, have been on soft; blinkered for step up in trip.
8th	12 8th (12) (66/1 -164%) Fuel The Fire	66 66/1(-164%)	(12) Fuel The Fire 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 8 in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f, 80/1) 42 days ago. Another who needs to improve now pitched into a nursery for the first time. No more than a hint of ability so far and needs to improve to win on nursery debut.
9th	2 9th (2) (5/2 -25%) What's She At	2.5 5/2(-25%)	(2) What's She At 5/2, Promising type. 2/1, won 9-runner maiden at Redcar (7f, good to firm) 48 days ago, well on top finish. Likely capable of better still now pitched into a nursery and she needs considering. Stepped up on debut form when winning at Redcar last time; should stay 1m and a player.
10th	5 10th (5) (33/1 -32%) Itsallaboutus	33 33/1(-32%)	(5) Itsallaboutus 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 9 in nursery at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 125/1) 18 days ago. Hopes pinned on the first-time cheekpieces sparking a chunk of improvement. Only one piece of worthwhile form; gets cheekpieces and up in trip but plenty to prove.
11th	11 11th (11) (25/1 -56%) Sanbona	25 25/1(-56%)	(11) Sanbona 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 33/1, last of 11 in novice at this course (6f, good to firm) 43 days ago. Significantly up in trip for this nursery debut. Something to find on form. Has shown ability over 6f but well beaten here last time and plenty to prove up in trip.
12th	4 12th (4) (33/1 -32%) Spanish Blessings	33 33/1(-32%)	(4) Spanish Blessings 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 11 in maiden at Hamilton (6f, good, 33/1) 25 days ago. Significantly up in trip for this nursery debut. Showed ability on turf debut; steps into nurseries but step up to 1m not sure to suit.

14:40 Thirsk Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Mayor Of Maghera won a shade more cosily at Musselburgh on his nursery bow than the winning margin of a neck suggests. He is not out of this despite a 5lb rise, but the vote goes to WHAT'S SHE AT. Archie Watson's inmate landed a maiden race at Redcar with plenty left in the tank, while giving the impression this extra furlong would suit. Big Bug improved for the step up to 7f when placed at Carlisle and the addition of blinkers may bring about further progress.

Like so many from his yard, TESTIMONIAL appears to have been brought along gradually with nurseries very much in mind and he is of interest now pitched into one off a lowly mark. What's She At built on her debut promise when scoring in tidy fashion at Redcar and she is just about second choice ahead of recent Musselburgh scorer Mayor of Maghera.

This can go to the Archie Watson-trained WHAT'S SHE AT, who stepped up on her debut form when winning last time and she should stay 1m

15:10 Thirsk Stakes (Class 4) 6f - 18 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments

Dam 6f winner. 28/1, fourth of 12 in novice at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) on debut 24 days ago, slowly away. Likely to improve. By Twilight Son; promising 4th in Salisbury novice on debut; improvement likely.
1	2 1st (2) (2/1 +27%) Huscal	2 2/1(+27%)	(2) Huscal 2/1, Saxon Warrior colt. Dam, unraced, closely related to useful 6f winner Gravity Flow. Confirmed debut promise when winning 10-runner maiden at Ripon (6f, good to firm, 5/6) 12 days ago, readily. Open to further progress and big shout under a penalty. Improved on debut sixth when winning 6f Ripon maiden last time; further progress likely.
2	3 2nd (3) (9/1 +10%) Dan Tucker	9 9/1(+10%)	(3) Dan Tucker 9/1, £40,000 Dandy Man colt. Dam, 1m winner who stayed 1¼m, half-sister to useful 1¼m-1½m winner Distain and 1¼m winner Part Exchange. 25/1, fourth of 10 in maiden at this C&D (good to firm) on debut 22 days ago, not knocked about. Should progress. Promising debut when fourth in a C&D maiden; sure to improve on that.
3	13 3rd (13) (20/1 -100%) Prosperitas	20 20/1(-100%)	(13) Prosperitas 20/1, €37,500 2-y-o, No Nay Never colt. Shaped promisingly amidst obvious signs of greenness when keeping on for third in Thirsk novice (6f). Easy to overlook next run and remains with potential. Fair third in C&D novice in July; disappointing when 8th in 5f maiden next time (13-8).
4	5 4th (5) (12/1 -20%) Mr Cool	12 12/1(-20%)	(5) Mr Cool 12/1, Fair colt. 4/1, creditable second of 10 in maiden at this C&D (good to firm) 22 days ago. Vulnerable to improvers. Progressive sort; second in an AW nursery and C&D maiden on last two starts; this harder.
5th	4 5th (4) (25/1 -150%) Hundred Caps	25 25/1(-150%)	(4) Hundred Caps 25/1, Twice-raced maiden. 50/1, much better effort when third of 10 in maiden at this C&D (good to firm) 22 days ago. Improved on debut run when third in a C&D maiden last month; further progress likely.

7th	1 7th (1) (15/8 +38%) Mearall	1.875 15/8(+38%)	(1) Mearall 15/8, Cotai Glory colt who was well backed and overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in comfortable fashion in 7-runner novice at Ripon. Similar form when 5¼ lengths third of 7 to Soldier's Heart in listed race at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Penalised but is back down in class. Two good runs over 6f at Ripon, novice win on debut then 3rd in Listed event; interesting.
8th	12 8th (12) (125/1 -279%) Double Parked	125 125/1(-279%)	(12) Double Parked 125/1, Foaled January 20. 20,000 gns yearling, Bated Breath gelding. Dam, ran a few times in France, half-sister to winner up to 6f (including Gimcrack Stakes) Blaine and winner up to 1m Byline (both smart). Gelding by Bated Breath; 20,000gns yearling; likely to improve for the experience.
9th	17 9th (17) (66/1 -230%) Novamay	66 66/1(-230%)	(17) Novamay 66/1, Similar form both starts, ninth of 11 in maiden (10/1) at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Modest efforts in two Beverley maidens (5f, good to firm); looks more of a nursery sort..
10th	10 10th (10) (33/1 -175%) Beerwah	33 33/1(-175%)	(10) Beerwah 33/1, Similar form both starts, sixth of 11 in maiden at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 24 days ago, hampered. Remains with potential. Promising 3rd over 5f on debut; not so good next time; 6f should suit; more needed.
11th	7 11th (7) (25/1 -56%) Night Emperor	25 25/1(-56%)	(7) Night Emperor 25/1, Better effort when fifth of 10 in maiden (8/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 22 days ago. Improved on debut run when fifth in C&D maiden (two of today's rivals in front of him).

Fourth of 10 in novice at Redcar (6f, good to firm, 33/1) on debut 14 days ago. By Bungle Inthejungle; fair fourth in 6f novice on debut; likely improver.
14th	16 14th (16) (250/1 -400%) Miss Pocket Rocket	250 250/1(-400%)	(16) Miss Pocket Rocket 250/1, 6,000 gns foal, £36,000 yearling, Tasleet filly.

Eighth of 12 in maiden at Beverley (5f, good, 33/1) on debut, slowly away. Off 124 days. Modest debut at Beverley back in May; gelded since; likely to fare better this time.

15:10 Thirsk Stakes (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

HUNDRED CAPS showed the benefit of a wind operation when finishing third over course and distance. He looks capable of winning at this level with further improvement on the cards and can confirm latest running with Dan Tucker. The latter showed some promise on his debut and will likely feature again, while Mr Cool found only one too good here last time and can make his presence felt.

HUSCAL confirmed debut promise when winning at Ripon despite still showing signs of greenness and this Mill Reef entrant is taken to follow up. Fellow penalised winner Mearall is the obvious threat with Prosperitas best of the others.

A chance is taken on SIR DAVID, who was still green when a clear third in a decent maiden at Pontefract last time.

15:50 Thirsk Handicap (Class 3) 6f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (4/1 +20%) Kings Merchant	4 4/1(+20%)	(8) Kings Merchant 4/1, C&D winner who added a third career victory to his tally at Doncaster (6f) in July and matched that form when second of 6 in handicap at Ripon (6f, firm, 5/2) 33 days ago. No reason why he won't be in the mix again. Progressive sprinter; solid 2nd at Ripon last month and likely to be involved again.
2	3 2nd (3) (11/1 -10%) Hiya Maite	11 11/1(-10%)	(3) Hiya Maite 11/1, Latest win at Doncaster in June. 9/4, best not judged on the run when sixth of 8 in handicap back at that venue (5f, good to firm) 21 days ago, awkwardly away and stumbling leaving stalls. Steps back up to 6f now but he's yet to defy a mark this high. Has form over C&D but 5f looks his best trip; latest run excusable; others are stronger.
3	9 3rd (9) (9/1 +10%) Midnight Affair	9 9/1(+10%)	(9) Midnight Affair 9/1, Low-key start to this season but stopped the slide with a career-best effort when second at Nottingham (6f) on penultimate start in August. Sharp 5f at York seemed to take her off her feet 17 days ago and this a more suitable assignment. Visor worn then retained here. Caught out by the return to 5f last time; on a fair mark back at 6f; each-way shout.
4	5 4th (5) (7/1 -75%) Grant Wood	7 7/1(-75%)	(5) Grant Wood 7/1, Likeable type who is enjoying a very productive campaign, his fourth career victory coming in last month's Silver Trophy at Ripon (6f). Career-high mark to contend with now but the type to continue on a roll for yard who are a dab hand with such types. Having fine year and impressed at Ripon last month; not been missed with a 7lb rise though.
5th	4 5th (4) (9/2 +10%) Mythical Phoenix	4.5 9/2(+10%)	(4) Mythical Phoenix 9/2, 5f maiden winner in Ireland at 3yrs. Model of consistency for present yard, placed all 6 starts since the spring, third of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, soft) 15 days ago. Respected with the return to 6f holding no fears. Hard to fault his consistency for new yard but keeps edging up the weights in defeat.
6th	7 6th (7) (11/1 +8%) Lir Speciale	11 11/1(+8%)	(7) Lir Speciale 11/1, Four-time winner for Roger Varian but has performed only respectably at best for current stable, plugging on when seventh of 14 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 24 days ago. Mark continues to ease at least. Retains ability and dropping down the weights; needs to up his game to take this though.
7th	10 7th (10) (16/1 -33%) Batal Zabeel	16 16/1(-33%)	(10) Batal Zabeel 16/1, Resumed progress when winning 8-runner handicap at Ripon (6f, good, 10/1) in June, despite looking a shade awkward in the closing stages. However, subsequent efforts at Ayr/Goodwood have again raised concerns over his temperament. Blinkers replace cheekpieces. 6f win at Ripon in June but unable to build on it twice since; others safer.
8th	2 8th (2) (3/1 +33%) Mukaafah	3 3/1(+33%)	(2) Mukaafah 3/1, Left reappearance effort in his wake when a ready winner in first-time hood on handicap debut at Doncaster (6f) in May. Never figured in big field at Royal Ascot a month later but he's been gelded since and feasible to think he can resume progress. Gelded since low-key Royal Ascot run (5f); earlier form makes him of serious interest.
9th	1 9th (1) (16/1 -129%) Dakota Gold	16 16/1(-129%)	(1) Dakota Gold 16/1, Tremendous servant to connections who capitalised on drop in grade when making all at Redcar (6f) in May. Runner-up at Ripon next time and seemed to find the drop back to 5f against him when seventh of 8 in handicap at Pontefract (5f) in July. Better showing anticipated. Classy in his pomp; retains ability but likely vulnerable off top weight in this field.

15:50 Thirsk Handicap (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Having claimed the Silver Trophy at Ripon in good style last time, Grant Wood looks primed to offer another bold bid. However, the consistent KINGS MERCHANT is fancied to go one better than his neck second over 6f at Ripon latest. Ed Bethell's charge can take this 2lb rise in his stride, while Mythical Phoenix has racked up a sequence of placed efforts and he should also be in the mix.

Having run out an emphatic winner at Doncaster in May, MUKAAFAH proved a let-down in his follow-up bid at Royal Ascot a month later. A low-mileage sort, who has been gelded subsequently, he's worthy of another chance to confirm previous promise returned to this trip. It's surely only a matter of time before Mythical Phoenix gets his head in front again and he's feared. Kings Merchant and Grant Wood can also feature.

Midnight Affair is feared back at 6f but MUKAAFAH still has time to develop into a high-class sprinter and he can come out on top.

1	1 1st (1) (5/2 +25%) Rajindri	2.5 5/2(+25%)	(1) Rajindri 5/2, Successful twice over 7f last summer and again at Kempton in May. Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap (7/2) at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 49 days ago. Good shout off the same mark. Triple 7f winner on turf/AW and not far behind a subsequent winner last time; claims.
2	7 2nd (7) (6/1 +0%) Get Jiggy With It	6 6/1(+0%)	(7) Get Jiggy With It 6/1, Didn't need to improve to win 5-runner maiden at Redcar (7f, good to firm, 6/5) under this rider 28 days ago. More needed back in a handicap. Won dropped to this trip at Redcar last time; should go well back in a handicap.
3	5 3rd (5) (4/1 -167%) Triumph Of Peace	4 4/1(-167%)	(5) Triumph Of Peace 4/1, Won 10-runner novice (2/1) at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) 23 days ago, always holding on. Should progress further now handicapping for top yard and one to consider. Won at Salisbury in a race that threw up winners last time; interesting in handicap.
4	2 4th (2) (13/2 +35%) Tropical Island	6.5 13/2(+35%)	(2) Tropical Island 13/2, Dual winner at 2. Creditable ninth of 22 in handicap (33/1) at York (5.4f, good to firm) 17 days ago, well drawn. Longer trip should suit on breeding. Hood on 1st time. Capable sprinter; gets a hood but has to show she's as good over this longer trip.
5th	6 5th (6) (14/1 +0%) Princess Alex	14 14/1(+0%)	(6) Princess Alex 14/1, Won handicaps at Haydock/Beverley earlier this year. 11/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, soft) 9 days ago. Back up in trip. Dual 7f winner in spring but not bettered that form since; may find one or two too good.
6th	3 6th (3) (22/1 -214%) May Blossom	22 22/1(-214%)	(3) May Blossom 22/1, Won 10-runner handicap (9/1) at Pontefract (6f, good) 20 days ago, suited by way race developed. This is tougher up in distance. Notched first win over 6f last time; up 6lb but there's a chance she'll stay 7f.
7th	4 7th (4) (3/1 +57%) Mereside Diva	3 3/1(+57%)	(4) Mereside Diva 3/1, Improved for step up to 7f this season, winning handicaps at Haydock and over C&D. Below form ninth of 17 in handicap at York (7f, good to firm, 33/1) 16 days ago. Should bounce back. Has decent strike-rate and this looks easier than her last two assignments.

16:25 Thirsk Handicap (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

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

TRIUMPH OF PEACE showed a likeable attitude when scoring over 7f at Salisbury last time, and she looks primed to follow up that success on her handicap bow. The form of that last-time-out success is working out well, with the second subsequently winning at Kempton, and this opening mark of 80 doesn't appear out of reach. Having been beaten just a length into fourth over 7f at Doncaster last time, Rajindri makes some appeal, while May Blossom should also be thereabouts.

RAJINDRI ran well in a useful handicap at Doncaster 7 weeks ago and has a good shout off the same mark. Triumph of Peace can go on improving now handicapping for William Haggas and is a big player. Tropical Island can also go well if getting the new trip.

This can go to the progressive TRIUMPH OF PEACE (nap), who turned in her best effort at Salisbury and can do better now handicapping

2	4 2nd (4) (16/1 -129%) Reel Rosie	16 16/1(-129%)	(4) Reel Rosie 16/1, Successful in the mud at Chester in September. Off 10 months. First run for yard after leaving Hugo Palmer. New trainer in form and not without a chance if she's ready to go (has gone well fresh). 4-16 on the Flat but absent since October; market check needed on first run for yard.
3	3 3rd (3) (11/4 -10%) Pol Roger	2.75 11/4(-10%)	(3) Pol Roger 11/4, Course winner. Latest win at Ayr in May. 11/4, creditable second of 10 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good) 26 days ago. Consistent but has stamina to prove up in trip. Consistent sort who extended run of creditable efforts last time; now up in distance.
4	5 4th (5) (11/2 +8%) Didaar	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(5) Didaar 11/2, Thrice-raced maiden. 9/1, sixth of 9 in maiden at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 19 days ago, very free. Up in trip for handicap debut and could do better. Best effort over 1m2f at Doncaster last month; didn't back it up last time and up in trip.
5th	1 5th (1) (7/2 +22%) Haptics	3.5 7/2(+22%)	(1) Haptics 7/2, Well-bred useful performer in France, successful 4 times at up to this trip. Left H-F. Devin €54,000 in July. Well worth a look starting out for new yard who do well with similar types. Won four times in France at up to 1m4f but probably best watched on first run for new yard.

17:00 Thirsk Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

POL ROGER hasn't finished outside of the first two home in each of his last six outings, winning twice, and this consistent performer might be a tough nut to crack. Michael Dods' charge could be seen to better effect over this extra yardage after a narrow defeat over 1m2f at Ayr last month. The main danger is La Pulga, who ran with credit when third in a valuable Racing League contest at Southwell on his latest outing, while Haptics heads the remainder.

HAPTICS was a useful multiple winner in France and has joined a yard who do well with similar types so he's worth chancing to make a successful start on these shores. Newmarket runner Didaar could do better now handicapping up in trip, while La Pulga can give another good account.

This may be best left to LA PULGA, who could get his own way in front back on turf. This reliable sort can land a sixth win.

17:35 Thirsk Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

CRUYFF TURN struggled when last seen in a stronger race at York a couple of weeks ago, but his previous third at Haydock was much more encouraging. With that in mind, the seven-year-old can be given another chance off an eye-catching mark. Bell Shot is an obvious threat following his close second at Epsom last time, while Finbar's Lad and Craven are others to note.

AL MUQDAD is enjoying an excellent season and fancied to bag a fifth success having not been seent to best effect when a good fourth at Ripon last time. Finbar's Lad is next on the list on the back of his solid Haydock third, with Bell Shot and Craven in the mix too.

A few to consider but a chance is taken with CHALLET, who hasn't won for a while but he's on a handy mark and has the hood refitted.

18:10 Thirsk Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Musical Mystery has to be of interest following his narrow success over 7f at Doncaster three weeks ago, but this is a step up in grade and he is 2lb higher. As a result, preference is for the veteran SCOTTISH SUMMIT, who was only beaten a length into third off this mark at Ripon last time. Racingbreaks Ryder did not appear to relish the all-weather on his latest start and could be a player back on turf.

Preference is for RACINGBREAKS RYDER, who was seemingly unsuited by the surface at Southwell last time and had made the frame in a couple of stronger handicaps previously. Scottish Summit and Musical Mystery should also go well.

The choice is PRAIRIE FALCON, who did better than the bare form suggests when sixth to Musical Mystery at Doncaster last time.

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.
