LTO Selection:

14:15 Thirsk Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Even though SHE'S A GAMBLER has to shoulder a 7lb penalty following a pleasing win on her debut at Wetherby last month, she receives a fillies' allowance and looks the one to side with. Her dam was Italian Listed-placed during her career so there is likely more in the daughter of Cotai Glory's locker. The unraced Nobility Blue is feared most, although fellow newcomer Kesteven Rda warrants a market check.

SHE'S A GAMBLER was another Richard Fahey newcomer who was well prepared to make a winning debut and in a run-of-the-mill novice, she's capable of defying a penalty. Vince L'amour showed enough speed starting out at Ripon to make him of interest, with Kesteven Rda a debutante of some interest despite her very cheap price tag.

Richard Fahey's SHE'S A GAMBLER had a bit up her sleeve at Wetherby and can defy a 7lb penalty.

LTO Selection:

14:45 Thirsk Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

BEECHWOOD STAR is out of Group 3 winner Ponty Acclaim and is taken to make a successful start to his career in a fairly open contest. A full-brother to C&D scorer Claim The Stars, Richard Fahey's colt is fancied to get the better of Beyond Borders, who can build on a fair fifth over this distance at Ayr last month. The progressive Mr Irrelevant is another to consider.

BEYOND BORDERS is the percentage call after showing clear promise by the end of his recent Ayr debut, although a strong market move for Richard Fahey newcomer Beechwood Star would put a different slant on things. Mr Irrelevant may prove best of the remainder.

Karl Burke's Harry Angel colt EEYOND BORDERS came home well when fifth on his debut at Ayr and looks the way to go with better to come.

16/1(-113%)
(3) Dandys Derriere 16/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2020. Never a threat when sixth of 7 in handicap (18/1) at Haydock (1m, good to firm) 20 days ago. Lurks on a dangerous mark, but more needed to take advantage as he drops in trip.

LTO Selection:

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

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

Hey Mr took a big step forward when scoring over 5f at Nottingham last week, but that was arguably the result of a falling handicap mark and he could struggle under a 5lb penalty. Therefore, a chance is taken on CANARIA PRINCE, who has been consistent of late and can improve from a fair third at Ripon now off 1lb lower. Spanish Angel also merits consideration with his recent consistency in mind.

Having joined Paul Midgley this year, HEY MR left his previous efforts for his current yard behind when winning at Nottingham 6 days ago and he remains well treated on old form. The 5-y-o is taken to follow up, with Canaria Prince feared most having made the frame on all 3 of his previous outings here. Spanish Angel can also go well back at this course.

A chance is taken on SEE MY BABY JIVE, who has shaped well on occasions and should improve for her reappearance run.

8lb lower than C&D success in May last year (good), but mainly moderate efforts since.
LTO Selection:

15:45 Thirsk Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

QUERCUS may have disappointed at Newcastle a couple of weeks ago, but he did it well at Catterick the time before and the six-year-old must hold strong claims if bouncing back to that sort of form. Golden Gal has been consistent this season without getting her head in front and she is a key player, alongside Peachey Carnehan and Ginato, who was beaten just half a length into third at Ripon.

QUERCUS enhanced his good record at Catterick in June and is taken to bounce back from a poor effort last time with the benefit of an advantageous high draw. Made of Lir finished ahead of Ginato at Ripon last time and that pair are both respected again, whilst Golden Gal lurks on an interesting mark and isn't discounted.

This is a tricky puzzle but ERAZMUS finished a lot closer last time and may be able to build on that to get off the mark.

(10) Nannie Dee 66/1, 150,000 gns Night of Thunder filly. Dam, maiden (stayed 1m), half-sister to smart 1½m-1¾m winner Great Hall out of useful 1¼m winner (stayed 1½m) L'affaire Monique. In need of the experience starting out at Yarmouth.
Dropped away at Yarmouth on debut (7f) but she's bred to be useful and should improve.

(4) Master Chartwell 50/1, Eleventh of 15 in maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm, 7/2) 20 days ago, possibly amiss. Tongue strap back on.
Encouragement on debut but well below that level at Nottingham three weeks ago.
LTO Selection:

16:15 Thirsk Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

MUBHIJAH may still be a maiden after eight starts, but she has been runner-up on three of her last four outings and the daughter of Shamardal deserves a change in luck. The Roger Varian-trained filly can get the better of Laoisman, who had Onslow Gardens a couple of positions behind him when third at Doncaster last time out. Eyeshadow is another with the potential to improve for going up in trip.

MUBHIJAH is pretty exposed now but she holds a form edge and this could finally be the day she sheds her maiden status. Laoisman is likely to give it another good shot, with Onslow Gardens dangerous if back on his game.

English Oak looks a likely improver for a yard going well but LAOISMAN ran a cracker at Doncaster and can make it fourth-time lucky

First turf win at Doncaster last month; up 4lb but should be in the shake-up once again.

Not found his top form since returned to this yard; down in weights but risky proposition.

Had a good year on AW and ran okay back on turf last month; having a rare 7f run today.

Maiden who has dropped a long way in the weights; return to 7f needs to squeeze out more.

Struggled in handicaps since his maiden win one year ago; did have an excuse on return.
LTO Selection:

16:50 Thirsk Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

This can go the way of BIPLANE, who has been in terrific form of late and stuck her neck out to score at Redcar on her most recent start. A 3lb rise for that success could prove lenient and she gets the vote ahead of Lilikoi and Rocket Rod, who was a determined winner at Doncaster last time out. Others to note include Blackjack, Honour Your Dreams and Temper Trap.

BIPLANE did well to get up off a steady pace at Redcar and could still be on a good mark. Lilikoi has had a consistent spell and rates a threat, while Tender Trap shaped a bit better last time and is well treated judged on last year's form.

Honour Your Dreams can go well but LILIKOI is preferred in the hope she'll find this being run to suit.

3rd win for George Boughey at Chester in May; much respected for another good yard now.

Good 7th in Wokingham at Royal Ascot; easing in the weights and very much considered.

8th in Newcastle handicap in March; he returns from another break now with more needed.
LTO Selection:

17:20 Thirsk Handicap (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

A game winner over 5f at Chester in May, DANGER ALERT now makes his debut for the Alice Haynes stable and the improving three-year-old rates the one to beat off 6lb higher. He is yet to finish outside the first two in handicap company and, with further progression likely, gets the vote from the class-dropping Mr Wagyu. Rock Of England found only one too strong when attempting to supplement a Hamilton victory at Ripon and is another to consider.

A useful sprint. MR WAGYU was a highly creditable seventh in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot and could take a bit of stopping in this lower grade. Rock of England will be a threat if the blinkers continue to have a positive effect. Tinto is on a winning mark and is another to consider.

The vote goes to ROCK OF ENGLAND (nap) who hasn't looked back since blinkered and can defy a career-high mark to bag a second C&D win.

LTO Selection:

17:50 Thirsk Handicap (Class 6) 14f Race Class Flow

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

A stiffer stamina test will suit ROCK N ROLL PINKIE, given she seemed outpaced over 1m4f at Leicester. She is rated 3lb higher than when breaking her duck over this distance at Wetherby before that, but Elle-May Croot takes 7lb off her back so Ivan Furtado's filly seems fairly well treated. Grain Of Hope remains unexposed and could have more to offer, while Timewave completes the shortlist in a first-time visor.

CORSICAN CAPER wasn't quite on his game last time but he'd been on the up previously and should find this easier, so he can shed his maiden tag if he gets the longer trip. Timewave is another one to consider and A Day To Dream is expected to be back to form.

A Day To Dream and ROCK N ROLL PINKIE have accomplished something at 1m6f, while Grain Of Hope could do so at the first attempt.

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.
