14:15 Thirsk Maiden (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

A highly encouraging fourth on his debut in the Brocklesby at Doncaster, ATHERSTONE WARRIOR didn't do himself any favours by hanging left but he kept on well and with improvement expected, he can get off the mark at the second time of asking. Arabie is related to several winners, including last year's Nell Gwyn heroine Mamma's Girl, so is an intriguing newcomer for the Karl Burke yard. Jungle Sound is another to note, especially if receiving market support.

ATHERSTONE WARRIOR was coltish in the preliminaries but still fared best of those ridden close-up when fourth on debut in the Brocklesby at Doncaster and he could be worth siding with to build on that. Karl Burke's juveniles always command respect and his appealing newcomer Arabie is of strong interest. Dukes of Haather, an encouraging seventh himself in the Brocklesby, is another likely improver.

He was only seventh in the Brocklesby but DUKES OF HAATHER shaped with considerable promise after starting slowly.

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

Winning pointer PEP TALKING proved a different proposition when winning on his chase debut at Huntingdon last month. A 7lb rise in the ratings looks far from insurmountable for Paul Webber's gelding and he could take all the beating. The main threat may emerge from Ensel Du Perche. Although thwarted in his hat-trick bid last time out, the veteran is entitled to improve for that third-placed reappearance, while the consistent Famoso is unlikely to be far away either.

FAMOSO can boast a C&D success and arrives at the top of his game so gets the nod here from Ensel du Perche who should run him close after returning with a promising Huntingdon third. Pep Talking should also have a say on the back of his recent success there.

A few with chances but chasing newcomer OUT OF FOCUS knocked on the door off similar marks as a hurdler.

CLANSMAN returned from a break with a highly encouraging second over 1m6f at Chelmsford last month, and dropping further back in distance could help Liam Bailey's charge regain the winning thread. A Gift Of Love had to settle for third at Southwell when last seen, but the daughter of Frankel might be well treated off a mark of 74 on her handicap debut. In contrast, Dark Jedi and Real Terms hold no secrets from the handicapper but are no back numbers.

There were definite signs of encouragement to glean from A GIFT OF LOVE's exploits in maiden/novice events late on last year and, very much the type to improve further as she gains experience, Charlie Fellowes' well-bred filly is expected to go well now handicapping equipped with a first-time hood. Enochdhu, with a reappearance run under his belt, is respected back on turf along with Clansman. Real Terms can also get in the mix.

Conditions should be ideal for last season's Windsor winner ENOCHDHU who is taken to beat mudlarks Ebony Maw and V Twelve.

C&D winner Another Lord dug deep when fending off the reopposing Rocky Hill (second) last month and both should have more to offer. However, it could be worth taking a chance on CEEJAYBE in first-time cheekpieces. The four-year-old is best excused his Fontwell flop in February as he likely wasn't over his exertions when runner-up six days earlier at Huntingdon. A reproduction of that penultimate performance may suffice in what looks an open affair.

ROCKY HILL and Silver Atom were second and fourth respectively in the C&D handicap won by Another Lord last month but both have very realistic claims of reversing the placings with that rival this time. Ready preference is for the unexposed Rocky Hill, who was returning from over a year off that day and he is open to further improvement. Buck of Maine is one to note in the betting on his handicap debut.

A whole host of these have chances but SHILLANAVOGY has had a wind op since a lot better was expected of him on his handicap debut.

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

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

The suggestion is BURJ MALINKA, who has dropped to a mark 1lb below his last success and recent efforts suggest that the six-year-old is in good heart. Selby's Pride can give him the most to think about if bouncing back to the form that saw her finish runner-up at Newcastle on her penultimate outing. A three-time winner last season, Rwenearlytheredad completes the shortlist, along with the unexposed Dazy Mazy.

BURJ MALINKA teed himself up well for this when a running-on fourth at Doncaster and can resume winning ways now back up in trip off a lenient mark. Rwenearlytheredad is next on the list if, as expected, building on his reappearance Doncaster ninth. Both Jack of Clubs and Mr Trevor are weighted to have a say too in an open handicap.

Rwenearlytheredad and BURJ MALINKA (nap) may be the pair to focus on and the selection can capitalise on a good mark back over 6f.

Having scored with something up his sleeve over C&D two weeks ago, a 5lb rise in the handicap may not be enough to stop JACK DOYEN from completing a double. Ben Case's charge ticks plenty of the right boxes and he may have enough in the locker to dispose of fellow last-time-out winner The Scorpion King. The six-year-old should have more to come after his Fontwell chase triumph and he isn't taken lightly, with Watchoutitscookie completing the shortlist.

Although looking a hard ride for most of the way, THE SCORPION KING was well on top at the finish when scoring at Fontwell last time and, in a weak race, he's worth chancing to follow up. Jack Doyen is another one to consider on the back of success over C&D and Watchoutitscookie can't be ruled out on the back of an encouraging chasing debut.

Jack Doyen is feared but SUPASUNRISE (nap) is having a consistent season and he looks sure to go well once more.

MATTELLA posted a respectable third on her handicap bow at Newcastle last month. A 1lb drop in the ratings can only help the five-year-old and if proving as effective on her turf debut, a breakthrough victory could be on the cards. Judged on last year's efforts, seasonal/stable debutant Wreck It Ryley looks capable of winning off his current mark. He isn't taken lightly, while Enderman and Asadjumeirah aren't easily dismissed either.

Most have something to prove but MATTELLA is lightly raced and arrives on the back of a solid showing, so she's worth chancing on turf debut. Asadjumeirah should give his running and Enderman isn't without hope.

Highjacked looks likely to give a good account but LILY IN THE JUNGLE is preferred now back on turf.

Not the deepest of contests, which could present Newcastle bumper scorer THATSWHATSHESAID with the opportunity to make an immediate impact over hurdles. That said, newcomer Crystal Glance, who is a half-sister to the useful Harambe, would not need to be anything out of the ordinary to be involved on her debut. Ask Me Another posted a creditable third at Taunton last month and would not need much further progress to play a leading role.

This can go to ASK ME ANOTHER, who upped her game significantly when third at Taunton last month and remains open to improvement. Hurdling debutantes Crystal Glance and Thatswhatshesaid may provide the chief threat.

This looks very weak and ASK ME ANOTHER could be the answer after showing improved form at Taunton.

ZARGUN relished the return to turf when making all on soft ground at Doncaster and a 6lb rise for Scott Dixon's veteran looks more than workable so he is taken to follow up. The returning Snazzy Jazzy lurks on an attractive mark, but he would make more appeal over further. With that in mind, a bigger threat may emerge in the shape of C&D winner Gemini Star, who should appreciate this ease in trip on her seasonal bow.

SHOWALONG is well treated and was successful second time out last year, so he might be worth chancing in an open race. Recent Doncaster winner Zargun is a player and Ey Up It's Maggie is respected based on her record on testing ground.

The eye is drawn to Showalong's record second time out but things look in place for a big run from ILLUSIONIST.

Bernard Llewellyn could have two live chances with Mambo Beat and Grandmaster Flash, who make their handicap debuts in what appears to be a winnable contest. However, the vote goes to TOUR OVALIE, who looks to hold solid claims from an unchanged mark, despite proving to be no match for an impressive winner over course and distance 13 days ago.

TOUR OVALIE failed to build on the promise of her Doncaster effort when second in a C&D handicap last time but she remains unexposed and is well worth another chance. Mambo Beat should have more to offer now heading into handicaps over hurdles and is second choice ahead of stablemate Grandmaster Flash.

Although no match for the winner here last time, that was a solid start in handicaps for TOUR OVALIE and she has the least to prove.

DUBAI HILLS lost little in defeat when runner-up in a Lingfield maiden recently and the switch to turf shouldn't inconvenience the son of Adaay so he can open his account at the 10th time of asking. A gelding operation since Sea The Dream's third-placed effort at Haydock in late September should only improve his chance. He's feared most, ahead of Catton Lady, who is a potential improver now upped to 7f.

A winner on debut at Carlisle last summer, CATTON LADY improved subsequently, running well when third on nursery debut at Pontefract when last seen in October. Appealing as being on a workable mark, this longer trip could unlock further progress this year and she earns the vote. Sea The Dream has been gelded ahead of his return and is respected, with Dubai Hills and Eulace Peacock completing the shortlist.

Eulace Peacock and Catton Lady are on the shortlist but OLD BAILEY appeals as a likely big improver now handicapping.

EL GRANJERO recorded a well deserved maiden success over an extended 2m3f here last month and, although he will need to find more on this switch into handicap company, the Youmzain gelding might be up to the task. Hermes Boy was reported to have never been travelling when pulled up at Exeter three weeks ago, but he ought to hold every chance if putting his best foot forward, while Kapamazov might prove best of the remainder.

EL GRANJERO cemented his positive start over hurdles faced with a good opportunity when running out an easy winner here 2 weeks ago and he looks the solid option, with the return to further rating a likely plus now handicapping. Cabhfuilfungi is an intriguing debutant for the Kerry Lee stable and needs monitoring in the market on handicap bow, whilst Kapamazov should appreciate this step back up in trip.

It was all very easy for EL GRANJERO in a maiden here last time and he can continue the good work on his handicap debut.

In a wide-open affair, a tentative vote goes to FITZ PERFECTLY. Charlie Fellowes' filly found 7f at Newcastle too sharp, prior to finishing a close-up fourth over a mile at Lingfield, and eased 1lb with a hood fitted for the first time, she edges preference. Underfoot conditions should hold no fears for the class-dropping Lockdown Lass and she has to be feared off just 2lb higher than her last winning mark. Sense Of Worth is respected too, although he saves his best form for an artificial surface.

It's been a while since LOVE YOUR WORK last got his head in front and his record on turf stands at 1-18 but, unlike several of these rivals, he arrives here on the back of a good effort. Furthermore, the 8-y-o was a solid second off a 6 lb higher mark at Chester on his sole run on turf last season and that was on heavy ground, so conditions here will not be a concern. Devasboy will also go on the ground and could be the main danger, while Global Spirit and Fitz Perfectly have claims, too.

Many possibilities but HOSTELRY should go well for her in-form yard with Global Spirit also respected now back at 1m on turf.

Runner-up on each of his last three starts, including over C&D on his return from a break last month, APACHE STAR sets the standard and can notch up a fourth career victory. Not beaten far when only headed close home at Newcastle last time out, Birkenhead is entitled to be thereabouts, along with Masterclass, who has strong claims if bouncing back to the form of his penultimate second over track and trip.

BIRKENHEAD is on a handy mark and could be the answer having returned to form with a good third at Newcastle last month. Apache Star and Masterclass are considered the principal threats.

Birkenhead looks booked for another big run but APACHE STAR is preferred on the back of his promising reappearance 12 days ago.

HIGHFIELD VIKING should strip fitter for his lacklustre reappearance effort at Chelmsford and, sporting blinkers for the first time off 2lb higher than his last winning mark, he may be tough to stop. Ey Up Its Jazz was last seen finishing an excellent second behind a subsequent winner over C&D in September and he can give the selection most to think about. Russco is one of the likely pace angles in the race and even though his winless run is mounting up, he appears weighted to strike soon.

The reapplication of headgear could be the key to HIGHFIELD VIKING, who was below form on his Chelmsford comeback last month but goes well in testing conditions. He gets the nod. Ey Up Its Jazz and Russco head the list of dangers.

The vote goes to HIGHFIELD VIKING, who goes well on soft ground, has a good draw and should be sharper with the addition of blinkers.

The Eve Johnson Houghton stable can do little wrong at present and the progressive ROBUSTO looks like a shrewd recruit, having scored comfortably on his last two all-weather outings when with Sir Mark Prescott. Stepping up in trip should bring about further improvement and he is preferred on his reappearance to Cool Party, who also returns from a break. Isle Of Sark was narrowly denied over 1m3f at Kempton last week and rounds out the shortlist.

There's potentially still more to come from ROBUSTO judged on the manner of his latest success, so he's taken to pick up where he left off for Sir Mark Prescott in the autumn. Isle of Sark has been shaping up well of late and is an obvious danger stepping back up in trip.

Preference is for COOL PARTY who is proven over the trip on turf and should appreciate the return to Class 4 level.

An impressive winner at Wolverhampton on his last start, INCREMENTAL should not be inconvenienced by a slight drop in trip and a mark of 80 could underestimate the four-year-old on his handicap bow.

INCREMENTAL made all in impressive fashion at Wolverhampton in November and, with further improvement forthcoming now venturing into handicaps, he's taken to follow up. Bearwith and Percy Willis head the opposition.

The choice is BEARWITH who ran a blinder on his reappearance when chasing home a bang-in-form rival at Newcastle last month.

GREAT BLASKET was only beaten a neck into second over C&D 12 days ago and the four-year-old merits the utmost respect off just a 1lb higher mark. Beau Gars remains unexposed and should not be underestimated following an encouraging effort on his handicap debut at this venue. Soames Forsyte edges out Streak Lightning and Sycamore to be the pick of the remainder.

Lots with chances so at the likely odds it is worth siding with KYNSA to capitalise on a handy-looking mark and make a winning start for her new stable. Great Blasket could emerge as the main danger to Kevin Philippart De Foy's new recruit ahead of in-form trio Sycamore, Monkmoor Pip and Streak Lightning.

The vote goes to STREAK LIGHTNING who looked as though he would be suited by the return to this trip when third at Newcastle last time.

ELEFTHERIA was the subject of market support when running out a determined winner at Chelmsford on her return and, off what looks a workable mark, she can make a successful handicap debut. The hat-trick seeking Never Fear appears to be the main danger, although she was all out to score at Newcastle in December when last seen and a 3lb rise demands more from her. Royal Elysian signed off her first campaign by getting off the mark over 6f at Newcastle and is respected back up to 7f on her handicap bow.

BAZBALL was below par at Newcastle recently but that run may have been needed following a three-month break. She had shaped well when third in a Class 2 handicap there on New Year's Day and, with this step back up to 7f a good move and with first-time blinkers enlisted, she could be the answer. The hat-trick seeking Never Fear won't go down without a fight, while both Royal Elysian and Eleftheria may have more to offer.

The vote goes to BELLARCHI who should be all the better for her recent Pontefract return and who is bred to take to the AW.

FOINIX (second) narrowly got the better of Easy Equation (third) when the pair met at Lingfield in February and having claimed more minor honours in two appearances since, he is expected to confirm his superiority en route to victory this time around. Socialist Agenda has slipped to a feasible mark and must be considered on recent form, if he can be forgiven a lacklustre showing over shorter at Wolverhampton last week.

EASY EQUATION typically got tapped for foot a little as the pace lifted at Newcastle last time and, assuming he's ridden a bit more aggressively, he should be more than capable of defying his current mark. Foinix rates the main threat ahead of Three Dons.

This looks good for EASY EQUATION (nap) who has been running well since joining this yard. His record over C&D reads 1415332.

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.
