(7) ( ) Twin Appeal
0
()
(7) Twin Appeal , Course winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2019. 18/1, twelfth of 15 in handicap at this course (7f, good to firm) 5 days ago, denied a clear run.
3
(3) ( ) Copper And Five
0
()
(3) Copper And Five , Stepped up on reappearance when good third of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm) 14 days ago, nearest finish. Has to be of interest up 1 lb.
2
(2) ( ) Rum Runner
0
()
(2) Rum Runner , Latest win at Newcastle in October. 12/1, bit below form fourth of 14 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 8 days ago, though did challenge away from the action.
10
(10) ( ) Shackabooah
0
()
(10) Shackabooah , Good third of 12 in handicap (5/1) at this course (6f, good to firm) 14 days ago, nearest finish. Significantly back up in trip. Hood back on and he's interesting.
1
(1) ( ) Twisted Dreams
0
()
(1) Twisted Dreams , Latest win at Newcastle in October. 7/2, last of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 18 days ago, though possibly did too much too soon. Back on turf.
4
(4) ( ) City Wanderer
0
()
(4) City Wanderer , 25/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good) 12 days ago. Essentially dropping in the weights without looking ready to cash in.
6
(6) ( ) Rocket Dancer
0
()
(6) Rocket Dancer , Good second of 14 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good to firm, 9/1) 25 days ago, well drawn. Up 3 lb and has to back that up.
11
(11) ( ) Semper Augustus
0
()
(11) Semper Augustus , Visored for first time, second of 4 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 2/1). Off 91 days but yard in form and he merits consideration.
12
(12) ( ) Curfewed
0
()
(12) Curfewed , Eleven runs since last win in 2020. Creditable fourth of 13 in handicap (12/1) at Newcastle (8f) 18 days ago, not ideally placed.
13
(13) ( ) Cammy
0
()
(13) Cammy , Thrice-raced maiden. 125/1, eighth of 9 in minor event at York (7f, soft). Off 6 months. Makes handicap debut.
8
1st (8) ( ) Delgrey Boy
0
()
(8) Delgrey Boy , Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 14 in handicap (40/1) at Pontefract (8f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Should build on that.
5
2nd (5) ( ) Musahaba
0
()
(5) Musahaba , Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good, 7/1) 12 days ago. Needs to leave that effort behind.
9
3rd (9) ( ) Florenza
0
()
(9) Florenza , C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2019. Respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at Redcar (7f, heavy, 5/1). Off 6 months.
LTO Selection:
14:10 Thirsk Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(9) Hayadh , Won this race from 3 lower mark in 2019 and registered another pair of victories to his tally last summer. Confirmed he still has plenty to offer in 2 starts this spring but mark looks about right.
14
(14) ( ) Al Erayg
0
()
(14) Al Erayg , Kept on well to end losing run on turf at Redcar (1m, heavy) in October. 10f seemingly stretched him at Redcar when last seen in November but others make more appeal returning in this line up.
13
(13) ( ) Global Spirit
0
()
(13) Global Spirit , Ran right up to best when getting on top final 100 yds at York (7f, soft) in October. Entitled to come on for last month's Redcar return effort but this is a tougher ask again.
7
(7) ( ) Acquitted
0
()
(7) Acquitted , Promising at 2 yrs and, whilst he didn't go on as a 3-y-o he was firmly back on track when runner-up to a race-fit rival in Spring Mile at Doncaster in March. One to be interested in.
1
(1) ( ) Hortzadar
0
()
(1) Hortzadar , Dual 1m winner last term who returned better than ever when third of 18 in Lincoln at Doncaster in March. Draw/track position caught him out at Newmarket (1m) since and best treated as still in form.
3
(3) ( ) Hartswood
0
()
(3) Hartswood , Course winner who was progressive in handicaps last summer, winning at York (7.8f) prior to a couple of solid in-the-frame efforts, latterly at Doncaster (7f) in November. Mark remains within reach.
5
(5) ( ) Scottish Summit
0
()
(5) Scottish Summit , Added another couple of 1m handicaps to the tally last summer and he arrives here on back of a creditable third of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (1m) 18 days ago. Still, this another tough ask.
6
(6) ( ) Waarif
0
()
(6) Waarif , Useful handicapper, successful 3 times in a busy 2019 campaign. Missed all of last year and in fairness he was entitled to need last month's Ripon return (well held tenth). This will reveal more.
8
(8) ( ) On A Session
0
()
(8) On A Session , Useful in Ireland for Aidan Fogarty and produced a promising yard debut effort when runner-up in a Wolverhampton handicap (8.6f) in March. Should give another good account back on turf.
10
(10) ( ) Byron's Choice
0
()
(10) Byron's Choice , Kept busy last summer, cashing in from reduced mark at Catterick (7f, heavy) in October. Some way below that level at Doncaster final start and he may just need this on return.
11
(11) ( ) Queen's Sargent
0
()
(11) Queen's Sargent , Dual course winner who confirmed promise of Doncaster return with a ready success at Catterick 10 days ago, the drop back to the sharp 7f trip ideal. Clearly in good heart but yet to win over this far
12
(12) ( ) Tom Collins
0
()
(12) Tom Collins , Form rather up and down last season, yet he signed off with victory at Pontefract (1m) in October. Subsequently gelded/changed hands for 100,000 gns and he's an intriguing contender.
16
(16) ( ) Jean Baptiste
0
()
(16) Jean Baptiste , Off the mark at Chelmsford (7f) final start for Sir Michael Stoute last autumn and knocking on the door for new stable, just touched off at Nottingham (8.3f) latest. Live each-way player again.
15
1st (15) ( ) Storting
0
()
(15) Storting , Winner at Pontefract August 2019 but well held sole start last summer. More like it back from another 9 months off at Newbury a couple of weeks ago and that ought to have taken freshness out of him.
2
2nd (2) ( ) Nugget
0
()
(2) Nugget , Dual 1m handicap winner as a 3-y-o who built on promising return effort to run out a good winner of the Spring Cup at Newbury (1m) 2 weeks ago. 5 lb rise looks fair and one for the shortlist again.
4
3rd (4) ( ) Astro King
0
()
(4) Astro King , Low-mileage Kingman colt who dug deep to make it 3 wins from 5 career starts on return at Nottingham (8.3f) early last month. Straightforward sort in excellent hands, so another good showing likely.

2
(2) ( ) Celtic Empress
0
()
(2) Celtic Empress , Made a fair start to career when third at Beverley in September. Failed to build on that at York next time but softer ground was perhaps to blame.

()
(1) Allayne B , Well beaten all 4 starts last year.
3
(3) ( ) Elegant Ellen
0
()
(3) Elegant Ellen , Twice-raced filly who shaped as if needing the run after 8 months off at Doncaster last week and will be of more interest in handicaps after this.
5
(5) ( ) Fleeting Blue
0
()
(5) Fleeting Blue , French Navy filly. Half-sister to 7f-1m winner Key Player and useful 2-y-o 5f winner Broken Spear. Dam unraced due to injury.

(8) ( ) Matamua
0
()
(8) Matamua , 92,000 gns yearling, £85,000 2-y-o, Lope De Vega filly. Dam, useful French/US 1m-1¼m winner, out of winning half-sister to Prix du Moulin de Longchamp Grey Lilas. Appeals on paper and market useful.
9
(9) ( ) Star Shakeera
0
()
(9) Star Shakeera , Ran to only a modest level on her Newcastle debut in December, but was considerately handled and should improve.
4
1st (4) ( ) Elvrika
0
()
(4) Elvrika , Fair form when placed both starts at 2 yrs, third in 7f novice event at York last time. Blinkers on for the 1st time and should prove fully effective at this trip.
10
2nd (10) ( ) Sunset Bay
0
()
(10) Sunset Bay , Improved from her debut when fourth in a 7f maiden at Newmarket in September. Not in same form at Kempton the following month, but it's still early days and she should win races.
12
3rd (12) ( ) Via Sistina
0
()
(12) Via Sistina , 5,000 gns yearling, Fastnet Rock filly. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart winner up to 6f Kingsgate Native.

(14) Mr Wagyu , Dual 6f winner last summer but he proved a bit in and out after. Off 6 months and others more persuasive.
6
(6) ( ) Benefit Street
0
()
(6) Benefit Street , C&D winner. 11/4, creditable second of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 10 days ago. Visor on 1st time and can make his presence felt.
3
(3) ( ) Dark Defender
0
()
(3) Dark Defender , Unreliable type. 10/1, only twelfth of 14 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Something to find on form.

(8) East Street Revue , C&D winner who recorded respectable sixth of 14 in handicap (50/1) at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago. In the mix.

(4) ( ) Freedom Flyer
0

(4) Freedom Flyer , Lightly-raced 6f AW winner. In excellent form for his new yard this term, third of 9 in handicap over C&D (good to firm) 14 days ago. Player from his high draw.

(15) ( ) Medicine Jack
0
()
(15) Medicine Jack , Latest win at Newcastle in April. 11/4, respectable third of 8 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good) 10 days ago, nearest finish. Merits consideration.
1
(1) ( ) True Mason
0
()
(1) True Mason , Eighteen runs since last win in 2018, but he caught the eye on his return when running-on third of 9 in 6f handicap (28/1) at Newcastle 29 days ago. Well worth considering off a reduced mark.
9
(9) ( ) Fox Hill
0
()
(9) Fox Hill , C&D winner. 12/1, below-form seventh of 14 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Bit more needed.
10
(10) ( ) Flavius Titus
0
()
(10) Flavius Titus , Eleven runs since last win in 2019. First run since leaving Jedd O'Keeffe when seventh of 9 in handicap (25/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 14 days ago. Needs to get back on track.
12
(12) ( ) The Armed Man
0
()
(12) The Armed Man , 4-time C&D winner but he ended last season under a bit of a cloud. Needs to hit the ground running on his return.
13
(13) ( ) Louis Treize
0
()
(13) Louis Treize , 8/1, looked a hard ride when only tenth of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Cheekpieces on now with something to prove.
16
(16) ( ) Mutabaahy
0
()
(16) Mutabaahy , Latest win at Wolverhampton in March but below par both runs since. C&D winner so not totally dismissed.
11
1st (11) ( ) Dream Together
0
()
(11) Dream Together , 17/2, seventh of 10 in handicap at Catterick (6f, heavy). Off 6 months with work to do if he's to add to last year's Pontefract victory.
2
2nd (2) ( ) Restless Endeavour
0
()
(2) Restless Endeavour , Career best when cosy winner of 6f handicap at Lingfield (AW, 3/1) 36 days ago. Can give another good account despite 4 lb rise.

0
()
(7) Tathmeen , Latest win at Wolverhampton in April. 16/1, below-form fifth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 5 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

()
(7) Saluti , Won off 7 lb higher last summer but could only manage sixth of 8 at Beverley recently despite being sharp for a couple of outings on AW.
6
(6) ( ) Machree
0
()
(6) Machree , Speedy front-runner who scored over C&D last July. Fared as well as could be expected when midfield in Bath listed race 15 days ago and should go well back at more realistic level.
2
(2) ( ) John Kirkup
0
()
(2) John Kirkup , C&D winner who got back on the scoresheet at Pontefract last October. Not the best record fresh so perhaps best watched this time.
11
(11) ( ) Tom's Reign Beau
0
()
(11) Tom's Reign Beau , Fair form at 2, including 5f Beverley novice win. Switches to handicap company for the first time on his return to action. Betting perhaps best guide to what's expected.
3
(3) ( ) Ginger Jam
0
()
(3) Ginger Jam , Course winner. Seven wins from 20 Flat runs. Likely needed run when eighth of 9 on Beverley return (5f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Ought to be sharper now.
5
(5) ( ) Shepherds Way
0
()
(5) Shepherds Way , Looked progressive when scoring back to back over 5f at Haydock last year. Disappointed at Nottingham on final start but remains low-mileage for a sprinter.
8
(8) ( ) Eeh Bah Gum
0
()
(8) Eeh Bah Gum , Well handicapped on his peak form and Danny Tudhope quite an interesting booking on reappearance. Needs keeping a close eye on in the betting.
9
(9) ( ) Ballintoy Harbour
0
()
(9) Ballintoy Harbour , Dual 5f novice winner, including in good style on AW reappearance 18 days ago. Up against some battle-hardened sprinters on handicap debut but she surely has more to come.
10
1st (10) ( ) Ready Freddie Go
0
()
(10) Ready Freddie Go , Two wins from 6 runs last year. Solid return to action when fifth of 10 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Could be spot on now.
4
2nd (4) ( ) Cowboy Soldier
0
()
(4) Cowboy Soldier , Pretty useful on his day but drew a blank for Robert Cowell last term. Betting perhaps the best guide to what's expected now starting out for a new stable after 6 months off.
1
3rd (1) ( ) Savalas
0
()
(1) Savalas , First win since 2018 when scoring in 5f handicap at Wolverhampton last July. Not seen since below-par run at Ascot later than month. Has left Robert Cowell. Betting best guide on return for new yard.

0
()
(3) Ingleby Hollow , Course winner. 28/1, hadn't yet been asked for everything when fell heavily 4 out in handicap chase at Doncaster (16.4f, heavy) 123 days ago. Can give a good account back on the Flat.
5
(5) ( ) Nataleena
0
()
(5) Nataleena , Three wins from 11 runs last year. Again finished well held after a further 3 months off when eighth of 9 in handicap at Catterick (13.9f, good, 33/1) 24 days ago. Plenty to prove at present.
7
(7) ( ) Teescomponentsfly
0
()
(7) Teescomponentsfly , Shaped as if better for the run after 5 months off when ninth of 11 in handicap at Redcar (16f, good to firm, 8/1) 26 days ago, weakening over 1f out. Not one to write off.
2
(2) ( ) Victoriano
0
()
(2) Victoriano , Successful twice for Archie Watson in staying handicaps during 2019. Understandably looked rusty returning from 19 months off for new yard 16 days ago (reportedly bled) and this should reveal more.
4
(4) ( ) Chairman Power
0
()
(4) Chairman Power , Shaped as if needing the run after 5 months off when ninth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 7/2) 33 days ago. More needed, but he's lightly-raced and couldn't be in better hands.
6
1st (6) ( ) Ghadbbaan
0
()
(6) Ghadbbaan , 5/1, returned to form with his reappearance behind him when fifth of 16 in handicap at this course (12f, good to firm) 5 days ago, running on. Still a maiden but has been firmly knocking at the door.

(1) Glan Y Gors , Three wins from 10 runs last year. Eleven runs since last win in 2020. 17/2, not disgraced when fourth of 8 in handicap at Pontefract (12f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Has good chance from this 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.
