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

TOKYO DRIFT shaped with plenty of promise when third at Kempton on debut and that form has been boosted with the fourth Ziggy's Phoenix winning twice since, including the Lily Agnes. The daughter of Showcasing can be forgiven her latest effort at Windsor as the ground was softer than ideal and she gets a tentative vote. Any market confidence behind the smartly-bred Roger Varian newcomer Sheffa would have to be noted, with the same applying to Tallulabelle for last year's winning combination.

This could go the way of a newcomer, with SHEFFA taken to make a winning start for her leading connections. She makes plenty of appeal on paper and is preferred to fellow debutante Tallulabelle, who also catches the eye with her pedigree. Of those with experience, Tokyo Drift made a promising debut and could get back on track on less testing conditions.

Boardroom is the pick of some interesting newcomers but ALFA MOONSTONE could leave her Chester debut well behind her.

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

SAMPERS SEVEN was thrown into Listed company at Bath on her reappearance and showed up well for most of the race, perhaps just getting tired in the latter stages. With that under her belt and now dropped in class, she would appear to have solid credentials. Papa Don't Preach returned to form when runner-up at Wetherby and must enter calculations off the same mark. Prospect disappointed at Doncaster, but is a previous course winner and can't be ruled out.

MID WINSTER stepped up on her reappearance run when fourth at this C&D a fortnight ago and, back down in grade, she can build on her latest effort to resume winning ways. Sampers Seven gave a good account at listed level on her return and is feared most back in a handicap, ahead of Papa Don't Preach.

Navello and MID WINSTER drop in class and Paul Midgley's mare could prove strongest now she's back on better ground.

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

Owen Burrows' team seems to be coming into form and ALLO AL KHAWANEEJ is fancied to get off the mark. He ran well enough for fifth in a decent event at Haydock and shouldn't find this quite as competitive. Edge Of Darkness may have been in need of the run in a Haydock handicap last week and that should have tightened him up. Moush was too keen at Doncaster on his first run since being gelded and is respected if settling better.

ALLO AL KHAWANEEJ showed a bit more than on debut when mid-field at Haydock 3 weeks ago and in a contest that is unlikely to take much winning Owen Burrows' charge is selected to make it third time lucky. The two geldings rate as the obvious dangers, Moush taken to edge out Edge of Darkness for the forecast spot.

Moush and Edge Of Darkness set the form standard but ALLO AL KHAWANEEJ and Charli Sands may well improve past them.

RATHBONE showed marked improvement from his first to second start for new connections at Doncaster last month and he must hold every chance if building upon that effort. The seven-year-old was narrowly denied by Tinto in this last year off 5lb higher and he is preferred to Aberama Gold and Music Society, who was runner-up over C&D last time out. Bay Breeze and Hiya Maite have the form to get involved in proceedings as well.

RATHBONE shaped well for new trainer Michael Herrington when third at Doncaster last time and might be able to add to his 2021 success in this race. Aberama Gold is another who arrives on the back of a decent run at Doncaster and is second choice ahead of Tinto, another former winner of this race.

Arguably unlucky not to be bidding for a third straight win in this race, RATHBONE (nap) can build on his promising Doncaster third.

Compensation may await LIAMARTY DREAMS after finishing first past the post at Haydock last week, only to be demoted to second for causing interference. Karl Burke's charge is just 3lb above his last official winning mark and he could have too much for All The King's Men and The Cookstown Cafu, who has won three of his four starts since undergoing wind surgery and was just denied in the other. Completing the shortlist are Autumn Festival, Billyb and Carnival Zain.

ALL THE KING'S MEN's AW form this year for current connections is proving strong and he remains of firm interest back on turf. Autumn Festival stepped up considerably on his comeback run when fourth here 2 weeks ago and is next best ahead of Liamarty Dreams, who bids to make amends having been disqualified at Haydock.

This can go to THE COOKSTOWN CAFU who can complete the hat-trick. Carnival Zain and Another Batt can also go well.

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

Slight preference is for TWO SUMMERS, who has been knocking on the door of late and should be well suited by dropping back in trip. The booking of Paul Mulrennan is another plus, with last week's Leicester runner-up Autumn Flight and Hurt You Never the ones who might give her most to think about. Dandys Gold ran very well over 7f here last time out and the drop in trip may well suit. Impressor and Quercus are others to consider.

Wide open and TWO SUMMERS can play a big part after another good run at Catterick on Monday. Andromedas Kingdom is interesting starting out for Mick Appleby, with Impressor another to consider.

Gullane One is one of many dangers but perhaps YAZAMAN can finally take advantage of a weights drop on his third run for this yard.

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

Shamekh, who went for just a tenth of his initial 180,000gns purchase price when he left Godolphin at Tattersalls last autumn, is noteworthy on only his second start for current connections. However, COPPER AND FIVE strikes as a more attractively handicapped contender and given he has gone well here before, he is worth chancing on these terms. Arranmore and Cosmos Raj also appeal, while Little Jo, who won this in 2021, is on a hat-trick and has to be feared too.

COPPER AND FIVE is more than a stone lower in the weights than this time last season and shaped well with a recent run under his belt at Doncaster last time, so is fancied to score for the first time since September 2021. Little Jo is enjoying an Indian summer at the age of 9 but a 6 lb rise for winning a weak contest at Nottingham last week asks for more, whilst Menelaus is entitled to be sharper for his return and should prove competitive from this sort of mark.

The suggestion is class-dropper MOBASHR. Second choice is Shamekh. Several others have possibilities in an open race.

17:58 Thirsk Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

JACK DANIEL showed tenacity to score here a fortnight ago and could well follow up off just 4lb higher. He is still lightly raced and has more to offer having flourished since undergoing wind surgery last summer. Clear Angel is respected but races off 6lb higher than for his Wetherby triumph, so the reopposing Diamond Haze (second two weeks ago) might be a bigger threat to the selection on the revised terms.

CLEAR ANGEL proved his good effort in a big field at Doncaster was no fluke when producing a career best to score at Wetherby last time and he can defy a 6 lb rise to follow up. Miss Britain is another progressive sort and should be in the mix if continuing on an upward curve for her new yard, with recent heavy-ground C&D winner Jack Daniel and Diamond Haze others to consider.

As with the first division, this looks open. Last year's winner FROG AND TOAD is first choice ahead of Diamond Haze.

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.
