1	6 1st (6) (5/1 +0%) Watching Stars		5 5/1(+0%)																															(6) Watching Stars 5/1, Twice-raced maiden. Better effort when fourth of 10 in maiden at Goodwood (8f, good, 5/1) 13 days ago. Improved on debut when 4th at Goodwood last time but probably needs to progress further.

Off 114 days. Sets a solid standard. Irish raider; promising 4th in Group 3 on debut; gelded since; 7f should suit; one to beat.
4	2 4th (2) (4/1 +20%) Chemical		4 4/1(+20%)																															(2) Chemical 4/1, Twice-raced maiden. 7/1, third of 12 in novice at Kempton (7f) 26 days ago, well positioned. Open to improvement. Similar level of form when 3rd in two decent 7f novices on Kempton AW; each-way chance.

Closely related to very smart winner up to 1¼m Royal Champion and half-sister to smart 11f-13.3f winner Outbox. Dam, 10.3f-1½m winner, half-sister to high-class winner up to 1m Dubawi. Interesting newcomer. Pinatubo filly out of 1m2f-1m4f winner; related to two smart winners; interesting newcomer.
6th	4 6th (4) (125/1 -89%) Some Boy Me		125 125/1(-89%)																															(4) Some Boy Me 125/1, Foaled March 3. 14,000 gns foal, Al Kazeem gelding.

15:20 Thirsk Stakes (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

LOCAL LAD caught the eye on his racecourse debut when fourth in a Group 3 at the Curragh over 6f, having displayed signs of greenness throughout that performance. The step up to 7f promises to yield a fair amount of improvement and the gelded son of Sea The Moon has been found the ideal opportunity to shed the maiden tag. Chemical, Watching Stars and Valiant Knight have all shown promise to date, but the main threat may come from the well-bred Regal Agenda, who is closely related to Grade 1-placed Royal Champion.

LOCAL LAD made a very encouraging start to his career pitched into the deep end when beaten just over a length in a Group 3 at the Curragh in May and he sets a high standard down in class. Chemical was surrounded by subsequent winners at Kempton last month so rates the main threat.

A valuable novice can go to LOCAL LAD, who looked a useful prospect when finishing fourth in a Curragh Group 3 on his debut in May.

7	7 (7) (9/1 -29%) Hombre		9 9/1(-29%)																															(7) Hombre 9/1, C&D winner. Improved to win 7-runner minor event (11/1) at Chelmsford City (6f) 25 days ago. Not the most consistent but holds claims if able to back that up in a handicap. Won over C&D in April and over 6f on the AW last time; still on a fair mark; chance.
10	10 (10) (66/1 +34%) Imperiousity		66 66/1(+34%)																															(10) Imperiousity 66/1, Untrustworthy individual. 100/1, last of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good) 40 days ago. Impossible to fancy. Refused to race in last 3 races in 2023; been fine since but well beaten all 2024 starts.
1	6 1st (6) (11/2 +31%) King Of The Jungle		5.5 11/2(+31%)																															(6) King Of The Jungle 11/2, Not seen to best effect when fourth of 8 in handicap (5/1) at Newcastle (5f) 4 days ago, lacking clear run over 1f out. Remains on last winning mark and isn't fully ruled out. Three wins have been at 5f (latest in April); fair run after a break latest; 6f a concern.
2	13 2nd (13) (7/1 +36%) Evoluir		7 7/1(+36%)																															(13) Evoluir 7/1, Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap (16/1) at Newcastle (6f) 4 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. 0-9; best run for a while when 1l fourth on AW on Friday; each-way chance on that form.
3	4 3rd (4) (12/1 -20%) Shark Two One		12 12/1(-20%)																															(4) Shark Two One 12/1, 4/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Leicester (6f, good to firm) 47 days ago. Back to a potentially lenient mark if able to put his best foot forward. Two wins over 7f on slowish ground last autumn; some fair runs this term; well handicapped.
4	3 4th (3) (7/2 +13%) The Gay Blade		3.5 7/2(+13%)																															(3) The Gay Blade 7/2, 3 wins from 13 runs this year. Latest win at Hamilton in July. 11/1, creditable 2 lengths third of 16 to Agnes Grey in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good to soft) 5 days ago. Benefits from swing at weights this time and has to be shortlisted. Hamilton dead-heat in July; 2l third to Agnes Grey (5lb worse off) last week; chance.
5th	8 5th (8) (9/1 -50%) Calafrio		9 9/1(-50%)																															(8) Calafrio 9/1, C&D winner here in August. 9/2, eighth of 9 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, good) 24 days ago. Back in a more realistic grade here and can give a good account. Not as his best last time; C&D winner last month; a possible off 5lb higher mark.
6th	2 6th (2) (14/1 +13%) Whiskey Priest		14 14/1(+13%)																															(2) Whiskey Priest 14/1, 9/1, ungainly display25 when sixth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 45 days ago. Up in trip. Easy to look elsewhere. Won two 5f handicaps in 2023; since had wind op; fair run latest; return to 6f a concern.
7th	5 7th (5) (22/1 -57%) Tantalus		22 22/1(-57%)																															(5) Tantalus 22/1, C&D winner here in July. 6/1, reverted to slow starting ways when eighth of 11 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 47 days ago. That issue remains a concern but not fully discounted nonetheless. C&D winner off 2lb lower in July; poor run last time; ground conditions will suit.
8th	1 8th (1) (5/2 +38%) Agnes Grey		2.5 5/2(+38%)																															(1) Agnes Grey 5/2, Blinkered for 1st time, won 16-runner handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good to soft, 14/1) 5 days ago, driven out. Carries penalty. Heading back in the right direction recently. Off the mark in first-time blinkers at Carlisle last week; should go well again.
9th	14 9th (14) (25/1 -56%) Chat Up Line		25 25/1(-56%)																															(14) Chat Up Line 25/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. 14/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 33 days ago. More needed. Nottingham winner in July 2023 (6f, soft); mainly disappointing since; well treated now.
10th	12 10th (12) (50/1 -213%) Irish Dancer		50 50/1(-213%)																															(12) Irish Dancer 50/1, 28/1, ran better than for a while when fifth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 13 days ago. Back up in trip. 0-12; fair 1.5l fifth on AW debut latest (5f); well beaten all previous runs over 6f.
11th	9 11th (9) (100/1 -203%) The Princes Poet		100 100/1(-203%)																															(9) The Princes Poet 100/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. Weakened only late on comeback from lengthy absence when eighth of 11 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to firm, 66/1) 23 days ago. Should be sharper now but others are still preferred. Fair AW 3rd in February; mainly below form since; others look stronger.

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

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

Agnes Grey clearly benefited from the application of blinkers when gaining a first career victory at Carlisle on Wednesday. However, it remains to be seen if the headgear will have the same desired effect and the two-length third from that contest, THE GAY BLADE, might be the one to take advantage. With the winner picking up a penalty, Iain Jardine's gelding is 5lb better off on this occasion and he is taken to land a fourth win of the year. Others to consider include Tees Douge and Calafrio.

THE GAY BLADE finished behind Agnes Grey at Carlisle last week but now benefits from a swing at the weights with that rival penalised and he can notch his fourth win of this season. Agnes Grey arrives at the top of her game and has to be highly respected herseld, whilst Calafrio won a similar contest here the previous month and completes the shortlist.

Blinkers worked the oracle for AGNES GREY who won a decent sprint last week and should give another good account under a penalty.

1	6 1st (6) (12/1 +14%) Count Palatine		12 12/1(+14%)																															(6) Count Palatine 12/1, 22/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 53 days ago. Hard to warm to on this season's efforts. Ex-Brian Meehan; mainly below form this term; well treated; others stronger.
2	8 2nd (8) (12/1 +14%) Kode Secret		12 12/1(+14%)																															(8) Kode Secret 12/1, Latest win at Redcar in June. Cheekpieces on for first time, last of 10 in handicap (25/1) at Haydock (7.2f, good to firm) 37 days ago. Two wins from the front over 7f in May/June; not as good since; interesting after a break.
3	7 3rd (7) (10/1 +0%) Purefoy		10 10/1(+0%)																															(7) Purefoy 10/1, AW winner in April but little to get excited about since, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Epsom (7f, good) 21 days ago. This is an ease in class, at least. 7f AW winner in April; disappointing since; on a fair mark but has plenty to prove.
4	5 4th (5) (17/2 -21%) Profit Street		8.5 17/2(-21%)																															(5) Profit Street 17/2, Latest win at Newcastle in August. 17/2, below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Haydock (7.2f, good to firm) 37 days ago. Likely to bounce back given overall profile. Best form on the AW, winning at Newcastle last month; not so good back on turf last time.
5th	10 5th (10) (9/1 -50%) Amayretto		9 9/1(-50%)																															(10) Amayretto 9/1, Very good second of 13 in handicap (20/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 21 days ago. Same mark here so has to be taken seriously. 1m winner last term; best run since when 2nd over 7f on AW latest; chance off same mark.
6th	1 6th (1) (15/2 -25%) Woodleigh		7.5 15/2(-25%)																															(1) Woodleigh 15/2, Winner at Ripon in May. Bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Chester (6.1f, soft, 22/1) 65 days ago, outpaced and running on. Looks worth a go at 7f on that evidence. Easy 6f winner in May; fair run back up to 7f next time; chance despite high mark.
7th	4 7th (4) (4/1 -14%) Mereside Madness		4 4/1(-14%)																															(4) Mereside Madness 4/1, Blinkered for first time and shaped well when second of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 4/1) 18 days ago, conceding first run having been forced to switch. Has to be taken seriously from 1 lb higher. Both wins over 7f on AW in 2023; two fair runs this term including on turf; interesting.
8th	2 8th (2) (2/1 -6%) Midnight's Dream		2 2/1(-6%)																															(2) Midnight's Dream 2/1, Cappella Sansevero colt. Half-brother to smart 5f/5.7f winner White Lavender. Popular in the betting but couldn't lay a glove on smart prospect Night Raider in 7f Southwell novice on debut in December. Third of 8 at Salisbury in May and retains potential in handicaps. Improved when 3rd in 6f maiden latest; return to 7f can suit; contender on handicap debut.
9th	3 9th (3) (25/1 -14%) Fletchers Dream		25 25/1(-14%)																															(3) Fletchers Dream 25/1, 28/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 6 days ago. Others more persuasive. Fair fourth over 1m two runs back; not so good last time and has a bit to prove now.
10th	9 10th (9) (150/1 -200%) Hey Crackers		150 150/1(-200%)																															(9) Hey Crackers 150/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 250/1 and tongue strap on for first time, last of 12 in novice at Kempton (7f). Off 103 days. First run for yard after leaving Tom Clover. Makes handicap debut from a tough-looking mark. Ex-Tom Clover; modest form so far and watching brief advised on stable/handicap debut.

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

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

MIDNIGHT'S DREAM returns from a break having finished third when last seen at Salisbury in May and Roger Varian's colt makes a fair amount of appeal on his first start in handicap company. Mereside Madness is likely to enter calculations following his recent second at Chelmsford when tried in blinkers for the first time, while Woodleigh appears worth another try at 7f based on his placed effort at Haydock in June.

MIDNIGHT'S DREAM is bred to be better than this grade so a leap forward now handicapping for his leading yard may well be forthcoming. Amayretto is more exposed but she's likely to give it another good go, with Mereside Madness another of interest.

The extra furlong may not be ideal for handicap debutant Midnight's Dream and KODE SECRET could be the one to take advantage.

Winner here in May. 3/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Ripon (8f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Needs considering. Bit disappointing since 7f maiden win in May but on a fair mark now and has a chance.

16:50 Thirsk Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Fibonacci Sequence needed every inch of a mile when opening her account in a novice event at Chelmsford last month and she enters handicaps off what looks a workable mark of 68. However, course winner LOKANA makes slightly more appeal off a career-low rating. The daughter of Waldgeist posted a respectable third at Ripon on her latest outing and a 1lb ease in the ratings can only help. Style Of Life also enters the reckoning on her switch to turf.

Plenty with chances but STYLE OF LIFE rates just the pick of these weights so edges the vote at the chief expense of C&D winner Hostelry. Course winner Lokana can also have a say in this open handicap.

Although Fibonacci Sequence is completely unexposed it's hard to gauge what she has achieved and course winner LOKANA is preferred.

Upped in trip, took a step back in right directon when fourth of 12 in handicap at Haydock (7f, good, 25/1) 10 days ago. Lurks on a dangerous mark.

2	5 2nd (5) (11/4 +75%) Capital Guarantee		2.75 11/4(+75%)																															(5) Capital Guarantee 11/4, C&D winner last summer. However, he hasn't matched that level this season, in first-time visor when ninth of 11 in handicap back at this C&D (good to firm, 16/1) 9 days ago. Cheekpieces reapplied as he drops in grade. Completed hat-trick over 7f in 2023; not in same form this time; cheekpieces replace visor.

Two fair AW runs after wind op last winter; not as good since; eyeshield added.
4	2 4th (2) (5/1 -100%) Mister Sox		5 5/1(-100%)																															(2) Mister Sox 5/1, Doubled his tally at Catterick in May and ran at least as well when second of 9 in handicap at the same course (7f, good to soft, 10/3) the following month. Off since but he's not taken lightly back down in grade. In good form earlier in the season; back from a break; best with some give; chance.
5th	4 5th (4) (17/2 -31%) Emily Post		8.5 17/2(-31%)																															(4) Emily Post 17/2, Shaped as if still in decent heart when sixth of 10 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good, 13/2) 29 days ago, racing wide before fading final 1f. Back down to her last winning mark but she needs everything to drop right. Pontefract winner last term (6f); not in such good form this term but on last winning mark.
6th	13 6th (13) (11/1 -38%) Asmund		11 11/1(-38%)																															(13) Asmund 11/1, Ended long losing run in minor event at Leicester in July. Not in the same form last 2 starts, third of 4 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good, 2/1) 22 days ago, but he's capable of getting involved if on a going day. 6f winner in July; not run as well since; conditions suit and not without a chance.

Has struggled for form during the summer, eighth of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft, 16/1) 26 days ago. Others preferred. Hasn't won since 2022; good second with headgear in April but mainly disappointing since.
9th	3 9th (3) (28/1 -133%) Blackjack		28 28/1(-133%)																															(3) Blackjack 28/1, Course winner. Gained a second win of the year at Southwell in August but slowly away both subsequent outings, eighth of 12 in handicap (9/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 12 days ago. Others more persuasive back on turf. C&D win in 2022 but other wins have been on AW; not in best of form.
10th	12 10th (12) (16/1 -129%) Reputation		16 16/1(-129%)																															(12) Reputation 16/1, C&D winner. Has made the frame back on turf last 2 starts, faring best of those from held up when third of 11 in handicap (10/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) 16 days ago. Could be ready to return to winning ways. Veteran; AW winner last December; creditable runs on last 2 starts; each-way chance.
11th	9 11th (9) (12/1 -20%) Beltane		12 12/1(-20%)																															(9) Beltane 12/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2023 but fared better than on his previous couple of starts when second of 6 in handicap (18/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 11 days ago.

Again ran respectably when fifth of 14 in handicap (20/1) at Catterick (7f, firm) 28 days ago. Has eased further in the weights but more needed to take advantage.

17:20 Thirsk Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Mister Sox has proved a model of consistency since a below-par reappearance when finishing ninth at Thirsk in early April and Tim Easterby's inmate is sure to prove popular. Although it is hard to see the four-year-old being out of the frame, he's likely to be priced accordingly and it may be worth taking a punt on EMILY POST. The Charming Thought mare has dropped back to her last winning mark and this return to 7f could prove crucial. Reputation and Sparkling Red are also noted.

The finale can go the way of REPUTATION, who shaped well when doing easily best of those from off the pace at Chelmsford on his latest outing. He is taken to record a second C&D success from his reduced mark, with Mister Sox respected having been in good form when last seen 3 months ago.

In a tricky race SPARKLING RED, who shaped well when upped to 7f last time, is taken to beat Mister Sox.
