13:40 Thirsk Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

HOT DANCER displayed plenty of promise when filling second spot on his debut at Chester earlier in the month and the son of Too Darn Hot clearly sets the standard on that evidence. Moonjid took a step forward at Goodwood last time and may have more to offer here, while Archie's Dream is another with valid form claims. Tuscan Hills cost 100,000 euros as a yearling and merits a market inspection on his racecourse bow.

HOT DANCER produced a promising first effort when second in a small-field Chester maiden 26 days ago and, open to improvement, he can build on that display and make a bold bid. Moonjid stepped up on his debut form when fourth in a class 2 maiden at Goodwood and he's feared. Newcomers Tuscan Hills and Play Me are others to note.

The choice is MOONJID, who stepped up markedly on his debut run when fourth at Goodwood last time. Hot Dancer should also go well.

14:10 Thirsk Stakes (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

SHINING PEARL has finished second on her last couple of starts and Karl Burke appears to have found the daughter of Iffraaj an ideal opportunity to go one better here. That said, Ghaiyya is a well-bred filly and is entitled to improve on her debut seventh in a hot contest at Glorious Goodwood. Consent cost 260,000 euros as a yearling and merits a market inspection as a result.

SHINING PEARL has some fair form to her name so is fancied to build on her recent Ayr second and get off the mark. Charlie Johnston's Ghaiyya could emerge as the one to chase home Karl Burke's filly if, as expected, building on her Goodwood debut seventh.

Shining Pearl sets a fair standard but CONSENT should be able to beat her three rivals if she's to justify her Group entries.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

CUBAN TIGER has largely struggled since landing a Listed race at Newcastle in March, but his last couple of efforts have been much more encouraging and suggest that he can go well in a race of this nature. Documenting outran odds of 50/1 when third at Newbury a couple of weeks ago and the veteran cannot be discounted on the back of that performance. Others to note are Serene Seraph, Rhythm Master and Cerulean Bay.

None of these can be ruled out but the vote goes to SERENE SERAPH who looked to have more to offer when a comfortable scorer at Lingfield last time and can defy a 6 lb rise. Hat-trick seeking Cerulean Bay is next on the list ahead of Rhythm Master, Documenting and Persuason.

An open handicap can go to PERSUASION, who hasn't won since taking this in 2023. Documenting and Rhythm Master are next best.

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

TRILBY registered his third win of the campaign with a smooth effort at Haydock and was then far from disgraced when third from out of the handicap in a deeper race over 5f at Pontefract. Able to compete off 3lb lower now, the Sam England-trained gelding must have strong claims at this level back over 6f. Redcar scorer Makanah has also been given a chance by the handicapper and rates a player of just 2lb higher. C&D winner Brazen Bolt offers some value for a place.

The vote goes to VENTURA EXPRESS, who did well under the circumstances when third at Chepstow and, on that evidence, this step back up in trip looks a good move. Trilby put in a solid shift in a higher-grade handicap at Pontefract recently and will be a danger to all if reproducing that effort. Makanah and Tinto are others to consider.

This can go to TRILBY (nap) who is having a fine season and showed last time that he acts on faster ground. Makanah is next best.

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

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

GATWICK KITTEN gave a significant hint that his turn is near with a respectable third-placed finish at Yarmouth and, having been dropped 2lb since, he is eligible for this contest and it could be a good time to side with the Ed Dunlop-trained seven-year-old. Sassy Soprano, who was placed over C&D latest, is another with a reasonable chance on these terms, while Ifonlytheycudtalk also arrives on the back of a solid run and cannot be ruled out.

GATWICK KITTEN ran better than previously this year when third over this trip at Yarmouth 23 days ago and, returned to classified company, he earns the vote to build on that effort and come out on top. Electrified, equipped with first-time blinkers, and Sassy Soprano are others to consider.

The drop to 6f and application of blinkers could suit ELECTRIFIED, who wouldn't need much improvement for that to score.

MY BOY JACK has been kept busy since he won a similar race on the all-weather last month and looks worth persevering with in his quest to break his duck on turf. This is easier than the handicap he contested at Newmarket last time out and a bold showing can be be expected. Tillybob posted an improved effort at Pontefract and can play a big role with another step forward. Thunderstorm Katie is also considered with a first-time tongue-tie added.

TILLYBOB returned to form when third at Pontefract 33 days ago and she gets the tentative vote to build on that with her rider again taking off a handy 5 lb. A decent pace to aim at will enhance the claims of My Boy Jack and he, along with Sydney Bay are others to consider.

The suggestion is TILLYBOB, who came back into better form last time and could benefit from these terms and with a 5lb claimer up.

16:50 Thirsk Handicap (Class 4) 14f Race Class Flow

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

The Crafty Mole has already won four times over 1m6f this year, but he was beaten off this mark at Newbury latest so another chance goes to GIBSIDE. Tim Easterby's inmate won over this distance at Catterick back in June and his last-start second at Chester suggests he is worth keeping on side. Ascot third King Of The Plains may improve for the extra yardage and makes more appeal than Cool Legend, who is fitted with a tongue-tie after a disappointing effort at Ripon.

Preference is for THE CRAFTY MOLE, who wasn't disgraced upped to 2m at Newbury last time but he is 4-4 over this trip and is taken to maintain that 100% record, provided that the first-time visor has the desired effect. Fellow 3-y-o Cool Legend promises to be suited by this stiffer test and he is feared most ahead of Gibside and King of The Plains.

The Crafty Mole should go well but he may find that GIBSIDE is better handicapped.

FINN IRONSIDE made most of the running to score over 7f at York last month. That form reads well in this context and another bold bid looks on the cards. Chelsea Brooks steered Seahorse Syd to an impressive victory at Carlisle and he can feature in the finish again given the ease of that success. Captain Corelli scored at Beverley last time and is not out of this raised only 2lb.

ORIGINAL THINKER proved better than ever under a more patient ride than previously when successful at Beverley in May and, with the likelihood of a good pace to aim at on the cards, she could be worth siding with in the hope a 4-month break doesn't catch her out. Fellow last-time-out winners Finn Ironside and Captain Corelli may pose chief resistance.

The vote goes to FINN IRONSIDE, whose York win has been boosted and for whom the return to this trip could also be a positive.

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.
