13:40 Thirsk Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

CINQUE VERDE (fourth) had Storm Fox (sixth) behind at Doncaster by just over three lengths last time, when just fading in the closing stages, and he now has the addition of an eye-shield for the first time, which could eke out improvement to score. One to consider is Emeralds Pride, who filled the runner-up spot on her latest outing at Beverley and she should go well off the same mark.

EMERALDS PRIDE was back to her best when second at Beverley last week and is narrowly preferred to the well-bred Storm Fox, who is due to be 5 lb higher in the future after her fine Redcar run and sports first-time cheekpieces. Lady Lade is also considered.

Storm Fox is 5lb well in but JEANS MAITE (nap) could take some pegging back under suitable conditions.

14:10 Thirsk Seller (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Tothenines is the top-rated in this contest and has to be considered, but SALEET just shades the vote for the Tim Easterby stable. She wasn't disgraced over this trip on her penultimate run at Ripon when returning from a break and she is fancied to record her second career success. Montelusa is another to note having just been denied by a head in a seller at Beverley last time.

TOTHENINES should be suited by the return to sprinting and sets a good standard on the pick of his form so is hard to get away from dropped into a seller. Saleet and One of Our Own are dangerous.

Tothenines is dangerous dropped in class but SALEET may quickly leave a poor run at York behind her.

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

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

WIND IN YOUR SAILS took a step forward to only be denied by just under a length last time at Windsor, where she was just two and three quarter lengths clear of the third, so with normal improvement, she could prove very tough to beat. The main threat might be Mubhijah, who sets the standard with a mark of 79, while any market support for Metric should be noted.

WIND IN YOUR SAILS improved when second at Windsor, clocking a good timefigure in the process, and looks the way to go with more progress anticipated. Mubhijah boasts some decent form and seems sure to go well again. Navarre Express has more to offer also.

Navarre Express ran well in a hot race on debut but WIND IN YOUR SAILS has shown clear winning potential in her two starts.

15:10 Thirsk Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

JUST JANET returned to form when finishing second at Leicester last Tuesday and she looks the one to be with now turned out quickly off the same mark. Belsito could have some improvement in him on this step up to 6f and Kevin Ryan's three-year-old isn't taken lightly. C&D winner We'renotreallyhere has yet to post a bad performance at this track and he shouldn't be far away either.

GRANNY B could have a race in her and she returns on a tempting mark so could be worth chancing. Just Janet makes obvious appeal now fitted with cheekpieces after a good run at Leicester. Belsito is another to consider.

The drop to 6f and switch to handicaps could spark improvement from MOUNT KING and he gets the tentative vote.

15:40 Thirsk Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

LAAKHOF escapes a penalty after completing a double in an apprentice handicap at Musselburgh on Saturday and Declan Carroll's gelding should take some stopping now turned out quickly before his 9lb higher mark kicks in. Imperial Khan himself is 5lb ahead of the handicapper after a recent success at Beverley and looks an obvious threat. Spanish Angel arrives in good heart and can chase the duo home.

LAAKHOF has made all in good style the last twice and can remain unbeaten for Declan Carroll with a third success. Imperial Khan is also unpenalised for his Beverley win and should be bang in the firing line again. Sugar Baby and Spanish Angel are a couple of others to consider.

Laakhof and Imperial Khan are well ahead of the handicapper but JAMES WATT takes a big drop in class and looks worth chancing.

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

KNIGHTSWOOD bounced back to form with an easy win at Ripon last week and a 5lb penalty may not be enough to prevent him going in again for his in-form connections. An unlucky loser when not getting a clear run over one furlong out at Catterick last time out, Robert Johnson looks to be his main danger, having won both starts previous to that. Franco Grasso has claims on his penultimate success at Yarmouth.

KNIGHTSWOOD won back-to-back races this time last year and can repeat the feat under a penalty for last week's Ripon success. Just Hiss caught the eye at Redcar and is feared most ahead of Robert Johnson.

This looks a good opportunity for KNIGHTSWOOD to follow up last week's Ripon success.

STALINGRAD may still be a maiden through 22 starts but his most recent effort when second at Catterick was highly encouraging and, if breaking on terms this time around, he should be able to go one better. Fiscal Policy is somewhat unlucky not to be arriving on a hat-trick and can give him the most to think about, along with Mumcat. Completing the shortlist are the likes of Dream Together, Kath's Toyboy and Show Compassion.

A tricky finale with FISCAL POLICY taken to follow up his Chelmsford win. Stalingrad, Show Compassion and Dream Together make the shortlist.

A low-grade finale. Stalingrad is interesting, but the suggestion is DREAM TOGETHER, who may well be rejuvenated by wind surgery.

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.
