13:55 Thirsk Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

ODD SOCKS HAVANA may still be improving judged on his second-placed finish over the extended 1m at Wolverhampton earlier in the month, when only held by three-quarters of a length despite not getting a clear run when making his late challenge. With a victory on good ground on his CV, the Rebecca Menzies-trained gelding can gain swift compensation as he returns to turf off the same mark as last time. Ivasecret also switches back to grass and is well treated in relation to his all-weather rating, while Island Of Skye is beginning to look feasibly treated again.

ISLAND OF SKYE failed to fire at Southwell when last seen in January but he proved pretty consistent last year and is taken to make a winning start for new connections here. Next on the list is Odd Socks Havana, who has been in good heart of late. Though below par at Redcar on Saturday, Admiral Nelson could also have a part to play if turned out again quickly.

This could be slowly run. ODD SOCKS HAVANA seems tactically versatile and in better form than most.

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

Despite the winner not being all out at the finish, FAYQA's neck second to Native Warrior at Nottingham last month reads very well in the context of this race after the winner finished third in the Britannia at Royal Ascot. Kevin Philippart De Foy's filly could take another step forward and she is preferred to Eranthis, who showed promise on debut but has failed to back that up in two subsequent starts. Star Of Kilfrush could be better after a break.

FAYQA stands out on form having pulled clear of the rest when second at Nottingham last month, the winner that day advertising the form since. Eranthis looks the one for the forecast.

This looks good for FAYQA whose close second at Nottingham last time was boosted by the winner at Royal Ascot on Thursday.

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

Ben Dikduk sprang a 33/1 surprise when landing a 6f Hamilton handicap 12 days ago but he needs to prove that was no fluke and the safer option may be USTATH. The eight-year-old confirmed his well-being with a 5f victory at Wolverhampton last week and, with a C&D victory to his name, he can go well back on turf under the in-form Billy Loughnane. Fellow track-and-trip winner Flavius Titus is another to consider.

Quantity over quality here with a chance taken on ETERNAL SUNSHINE back up in trip with a high draw usually no bad thing over 6f. Ben Dikduk and Ustath can call upon recent winning form so have more going for them than most.

A sister to four winners for the yard who did better last time, ETERNAL SUNSHINE is preferred to Irish Dancer.

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

Jack Of Clubs bounced back to occupy the runner-up spot in this grade at Musselburgh earlier in the month and he holds an obvious chance off an unchanged rating. However, preference is for GOLDEN RAINBOW, who struck over this track and trip on his penultimate start before finishing third at Musselburgh, and he looks well placed to make it two wins out of his last three starts. Rainbow Rain and Latin Five are two others to consider.

Quite a few to consider here with JACK OF CLUBS given the nod on the back of an excellent second at Musselburgh with a double-figure draw in his favour. Rainbow Rain has been knocking on the door and seems sure to give it a good go, with Cuban Rock also of interest from his lowly mark.

Preference is for Tracy Waggott's course scorer RAINBOW RAIN who signalled he is ready to strike when a good Carlisle third last time

16:00 Thirsk Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

REIDH produced a respectable effort when he finished third on his return from a break after being gelded, and he was kindly dropped 1lb for that display. Richard Fahey's four-year-old remains fairly unexposed for his age and he looks the one to beat, with his main threat possibly being the hat-trick seeking Without Delay. The daughter of Decorated Knight goes off a 2lb higher mark than her most recent victory at Catterick and she is likely to be on the premises again. Danzart can pick up any pieces.

REIDH shaped well on his reappearance when third at Wetherby 13 days ago, faring best of those who stuck to the far side, so he could be ready to take advantage of his reduced mark. Without Delay has been thriving of late and is feared most as she bids for the hat-trick, ahead of Danzart.

A strong pace would suit Danzart, but preference is for WITHOUT DELAY (nap) who can complete a three-timer.

Despite being slowly away, BESTIE managed to fly home late to grab third over 6f at Carlisle last week, so he may appreciate this step back up in distance. The son of Advertise goes off an unchanged mark and he could prove the one to beat. Liberty Breeze was far from disgraced when she finished fourth at Catterick on her return to the fray and she should remain competitive off the same rating, while Profiteer is another to note after his third at Carlisle last month.

LIBERTY BREEZE ran well on her return from 6 months off at Catterick earlier in the month and tops the shortlist from an unchanged mark. Langholm is a consistent sort who should give his running once more, whilst Beechwood Star is well drawn in stall 12 and produced a pleasing effort at Wetherby last time, so they are taken to complete the placings.

The bottom weight Profiteer looks dangerous and has scope, but preference is for PREFER THE SISTER who has been going close.

It will be interesting to see what the market makes of Boldly on his return from a 236-day absence, as he's unexposed for a top yard and now sports a first-time tongue-tie. You can also make cases for Kitsune Power and Noble Anthem, but GASTRONOMY edges the vote on the basis that he has improved markedly this year with his only poor run coming at York last month.

KITSUNE POWER has been cut plenty of slack by the handicapper and ran well here last week. He gets the nod. Boldly is still low mileage and is feared most.

This could prove tactical which may be in favour of LA PULGA, whose last two wins have come under positive rides.

A competitive sprint to close the card and the eye is immediately drawn to EMERALDS PRIDE. She was in the form of her life towards the back end of last season, racking up three wins on the spin in August and September, and she picked up from where she left off at Beverley on her seasonal bow last month. She can be marked up for that effort too, given she dwelt leaving the stalls and was towards the rear - which leaves horses with a mountain to climb over that 5f trip on the Westwood. Albegone is another in-form sprinter to note coming in here on the back of two encouraging efforts at Catterick, while Herakles isn't without a squeak.

EMERALDS PRIDE extended her winning run at Beverley last month and remains fairly treated. She can go in again. Le Beau Garcon and Law of Average head the list of dangers.

Michael Dods' mare EMERALDS PRIDE continues to thrive and she can rack up a five-timer after her stylish Beverley reappearance victory

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.
