Tropical DreamerT Eaves - K A Ryan14	6/4	5/12
Both starts on good ground at Beverley over 5f, made a winning debut in April and built on that when a respectable fourth in the Two Year Old Trophy in May, kept on that day, suggesting this step up to 6f should suit, respected under the penalty.
Dandy StyleP Mulrennan - B Smart4	3/1	8/11
£25,000 yearling and brother to two winning sprinters, not beaten far on debut over 5f at Carlisle (good to soft, first three have all won since) at the end of May and can improve for this longer trip with the benefit of that experience, might be the answer.
Circle Of TrustK Stott - K A RyanFirst Race	7/1	6/4
Already gelded, 30,000euros foal, 22,000euros yearling, second foal, Dark Angel half-brother to Polish 1m winner Selena Gold, dam well beaten 1m2f (RPR 45), sister to winners Luis Fernandez (6f including 2yo) and Time Constraints (1m), half-sister to 5f Group 1 Abbaye winner Benbaun, market to guide on this debut.
Horu KanuBarry McHugh - R A FaheyFirst Race	15/2	13/8
By Sands Of Mali, first foal, dam 6f 2yo winner on her August debut (only start, RPR 81), half-sister to US stakes-placed 5.5f-8.5f winner Basha, out of useful 8.5f-1m4f winner, debutant but the yard can ready one and his second-season sire is having a big year, getting the Commonwealth Cup winner at Royal Ascot under a fortnight ago, watch the market.
Straight AheadS H James - Craig Lidster66	9/1	19/10
Not beaten far when 66-1 and last of six at Beverley (5f, good, Tropical Dreamer fourth) on his debut in May, but didn't build on that when beaten nearly 6l at Chester (6f, good to soft) 18 days ago, the ground might have been an excuse that day and he's not ruled out.
Jungle KnightJ Mitchell - M G Rimell4	9/1	19/10
Yard isn't renowned for juveniles but he made a fairly encouraging debut when tongue tied and fourth of 11 at Carlisle (6f, soft, 16-1) just over a fortnight ago, some signs of inexperience that day and he ought to be capable of better.
MagisteryConnor Beasley - M Dods85	14/1	13/5
Attracted some support but blew the start and hung left on her debut at Redcar in May, stepped up when fifth of seven over C&D (good to firm) three weeks later, further improvement needed.
Bye LawD Allan - T D EasterbyFirst Race	20/1	17/4
6,000euros yearling, fourth foal, by Invincible Army and closely related to winners Midnight Fire (6f/7f, RPR 81) and Law Degree (7.4f/1m 2yo, 70), unraced dam closely related to 6f winners Furbelow (dam of 6f/6.5f Group 1 winner Advertise) and Adorn (dam of 6f 2yo Group 2 winner Saayerr), probably best watched on debut.
Surgeon CommanderWilliam Pyle (3) - Craig Lidster67	28/1	13/2
£20,000 breeze-up 2yo, bit of promise on his debut at Carlisle (good to soft) in May but he took a step backwards when beaten nearly 10l at Redcar (also 6f, good to firm) 11 days ago, probably one for nurseries.
DoilookokayRowan Scott - N Tinkler9	66/1	20/1
March foal by Land Force, 50-1 and upset in stalls before finishing 25l adrift on his debut at Carlisle (6f, soft) 16 days ago, others preferred

Thirsk [2nd Jul 14:33]

First PrincipleTom Marquand - W J Haggas1-	8/11	2/15
Ran out the ready winner of a 1m novice at Kempton in December, withdrawn after getting loose before the race on his intended reappearance at Newmarket last month (6-4f at the time of withdrawal), looks a good prospect and the stable won this race in 2019 and 2020.
Summer HeatChristian Howarth (3) - S bin Suroor42	11/4	5/12
She has run to a useful level in her two AW runs this year (7f and 8.6f), flashing her tail when second of eight at Wolverhampton 16 days ago (Evens favourite), cheekpieces now added, should be involved switched to turf.
Divine KnightD Tudhope - S WoodsFirst Race	11/2	10/13
80,000gns foal, 100,000euros yearling, 270,000euros breeze-up 2yo, first foal of an unraced half-sister to winners Thunderous (1m2f Group 2) and Unforgotten (useful 7f/1m), of interest on paper but there must have been issues ahead of this belated debut.
Arf's DuchessOisin Murphy - C Hills6-	8/1	23/20
Lacked pace at a crucial stage in a 7f fillies' maiden at Doncaster in September, the winner there was subsequent Group 1 winner Whirl and the runner-up is promising too so there is some substance to the form, should do much better this year.
Off SpinD Allan - T D Easterby355-	20/1	13/5
He made a promising start to his career when third of nine at Ripon last August (1m, good) but his two subsequent efforts were less convincing, gelded during his nine-month absence, the debut form gives him a squeak.
Believe In LiesConnor Beasley - T D Barron47	25/1	7/2
Just modest form in her two runs this summer (5f, good to firm and 7f, good), new trip not enough to tempt.
TatankaOliver Stammers - Grant Tuer46	50/1	9/1
Shown enough in two runs (7f, good and 1m2f, good to firm) to think he had a future but handicaps will offer him better opportunities after this.
Jubilee PartyMark Winn - J Riches5	66/1	14/1
Pulled up in a point in May 2024, modest form when fifth of nine on her Flat/stable debut 12 days ago (1m2f, good to firm), best watched.
Soham's RogerA Elliott - N MechieFirst Race	66/1	14/1
1,200gns yearling, half-brother to three winners including Miss Bella Brand (5.7f-7f, RPR 82) and Kelerougg (prolific Italian 5f-7f), dam 5f AW 2yo winner (56), would be an unlikely winner on debut.
Mary Anne MaximusFaye McManoman - B Ellison9	100/1	25/1
200-1, slowly away and always in rear on recent Beverley debut (7.5f, good to firm), no appeal.

Thirsk [2nd Jul 15:03]

	Win	Place
Forest CaperD Tudhope - D O'Meara32	15/8	4/9
Bred to be smart and he has shown plenty of ability in his two runs this summer, more recently when second of ten at Beverley 15 days ago (7.5f, good to firm), remains capable of better and he's high on the list.
Gentle TouchP J McDonald - S bin Suroor9-2	9/4	10/19
Checked out tamely at Kempton on her 2yo debut last October but much more promise when second of 12 at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) 13 days ago, the hood she wore there is now dispensed with, open to further progress.
WolfpackOisin Murphy - J Ferguson2-8	4/1	4/5
Made a promising start when runner-up at Southwell (1m, AW) in November for Andrew Balding but never better than midfield in a valuable 7f novice at Doncaster (good) on recent return for a new yard, still early days and should have a big run in him.
Saxon LoverC Lee - C JohnstonFirst Race	15/2	29/20
62,000euros yearling, half-brother to five winners including Peace In Motion (7f-8.5f, including German Group 3, RPR 107), Peace Warrior (French 7.5f turf/1m AW, 100) and Peace Society (German 6f 2yo/7f Listed, 95), dam 7f/1m winner (Group 3, 103), lots to like on paper and starts out with his yard in red-hot form.
Secret ForceP Mulrennan - K P De Foy6-4	9/1	7/4
Two runs over 1m2f on Lingfield AW for Charlie Appleby, failing to improve as might have been expected from his debut effort, gelded in January and then sold for 40,000gns in May, should have more to offer and he needs a market check.
DooleyK Stott - C Hills6-9	16/1	11/4
Neither run, both over 7f, has been devoid of promise but he will need to raise his game to come out on top here, handicaps beckon.
Hopeful JoyD C Costello - M WalfordFirst Race	18/1	16/5
38,000gns breeze-up 2yo, fifth foal, half-sister to winners Dubai Jemila (7f 2yo, RPR 84), Mister Allegro (1m AW, 62, 2m hurdle) and Speranzoso (Australian 1m2f-1m5f), dam Italian 8.5f/1m2f (Listed) winner and Italian Oaks second (102), bred to have a future but perhaps in the longer term.
Blackwater LillyBilly Garritty - B Ellison7	33/1	7/1
Modest winning hurdler, never in the hunt at Beverley on recent Flat debut (7.5f, good to firm) and she may not come into her own in this code until tackling handicaps over further.
Our NicolaConnor Beasley - T D Barron99	80/1	22/1
Poor form in two runs over shorter this summer, hard to recommend.

Thirsk [2nd Jul 15:33]

	Win	Place
Arantes NascimentoTom Marquand - G Tutty2-5323	2/1	8/13
7f nursery win on AW in October 2023, three good efforts since joining Gemma Tutty, the latest a close third of 13 at Chester 19 days ago (7f, good), Tom Marquand booked and he's one to take seriously.
Thapa VCJ Mitchell - M G Rimell584155	5/1	5/4
Normally held up, multiple winner who rewarded market support when winning at Bath (1m, firm) three runs back, fair effort at Doncaster last time and a well-run race would play to his strengths.
Highfield VikingJason Hart - J & S Quinn435-56	11/2	13/10
C&D win last April on heavy ground, low-key return from an absence at Carlisle in May but much better when sixth in a competitive Class 5 event at Doncaster last week (7f, good to firm), in the mix with a repeat.
Saisons D'OrJ Garritty - Jedd O'Keeffe-65013	13/2	8/5
Veteran who showed he retains a good deal of enthusiasm when winning a 7f handicap at Southwell in May, good third over 1m at Ripon four weeks ago and the return to 7f will suit, should go well.
The Good BiscuitJoanna Mason - Mrs R Carr-46767	7/1	17/10
Still seeking a first handicap success but he's well treated on his 2024 best and there have been some promising signs for Ruth Carr this year, attracted support at Ayr 11 days ago (6f, good) but couldn't threaten, dropped another 3lb since and he could benefit from the return to 7f.
Rapido GirlT Eaves - I Furtado2-8574	10/1	23/10
Yet to win a handicap but she has threatened off this sort of mark and she wasn't beaten far into fourth at Catterick three weeks ago (7f, good), should give her running and holds each-way claims at least.
Phoenix FireRhys Elliott (5) - M Dods0888-6	10/1	23/10
Heavy ground winner in 2022 but not won since and mainly disappointing last year, may have needed his reappearance five weeks ago but needs to leave it well behind.
TravisD Allan - G A Harker876274	12/1	11/4
Just one win to his name after 20 starts but he's been threatening to add to his tally of late, second at Ayr in May (6f, good to firm) and a close fourth at Redcar 12 days ago (7f, good to firm), one to consider.
MisemeraldCam Hardie - P A Kirby0-5277	14/1	16/5
Yet to add to her 2yo successes but she ran well over 1m at Nottingham in May, not built on that run in two starts since and now moves back up in class.

Thirsk [2nd Jul 16:03]

	Win	Place
Twilight DiamondD Tudhope - D O'Meara125055	7/2	20/21
6f win on debut came in a weak race, yet to make a major impact in four handicap runs but his mark is easing and there is still time for him to do better.
Leap DayD Allan - T D Easterby8-2247	7/2	20/21
Infrequent winner but he began his 2025 campaign with runner-up finishes at Catterick and Leicester (both 7f, good to firm), only midfield at York last month but this isn't so competitive and he's likely to be in the thick of it once more.
Emily PostSean Kirrane - M Dods624474	11/2	11/8
On a losing run but handicapped accordingly and she ran a creditable race when fourth at Wetherby last month (7f, good to firm), better could be forthcoming.
Carnival ZainP J McDonald - Micky Hammond86-489	6/1	6/4
No win since a C&D success in August 2022, not beaten far over 1m here in May but less good twice since, others appeal more for win purposes.
PatonthebackRowan Scott - G Tutty6-5938	7/1	17/10
Well treated on 2024 best but he's been more miss than hit so far in 2025, 8lb lower than when second over C&D 12 months ago and interesting to see if he attracts support again.
Mereside MadnessJ Fanning - T D Barron-12390	8/1	2/1
0-8 on turf as opposed to 3-11 on AW, ran well on fast turf at Ayr last summer and his latest Doncaster effort can be excused as it was a stronger race, still carries risk though.
LangholmRhys Elliott (5) - M Dods098034	8/1	2/1
Front-runner with two C&D wins to his name, including 12 months ago when rated 8lb higher, slow start to 2024, in line with many from the yard, but his last two efforts have been more promising, well drawn to attack, chance.
ReputationJ P Sullivan - Mrs R Carr13-244	10/1	12/5
Well into the veteran stage but he enjoyed a successful winter on AW and returns to turf after an absence on a realistic mark, this perhaps not the day to catch him though.
Electric AvenueElle-May Croot (5) - I Furtado474619	18/1	9/2
Made a winning stable debut at Newcastle in December (1m, AW) and added a Redcar success (1m, good to firm) in May, low-key effort at Wetherby two weeks ago but no surprise to see her bounce back.

Thirsk [2nd Jul 16:38]

	Win	Place
TopteamOisin Murphy - A M Balding79511	5/4	—
2-2 in handicaps, easily winning over an extended 1m2f at Chester in May and defying a 7lb rise over the same C&D two weeks later, latest 6lb rise asks a stiffer question but the latest win has been franked by the second and he should be fine over the new trip, high on the list.
Sir WilliamTom Marquand - W J Haggas25-734	9/4	—
Finished third to Topteam at Chester last month and showed better form when fourth at Sandown 19 days ago, looks ready for 1m4f and could still have more to offer.
Rogue ImpactJ Mitchell - James Owen0-160	10/3	—
Ready winner of a 1m4f maiden at Lingfield (AW) on his stable debut in April, heavy defeats twice since but they have come in the Lingfield Derby Trial and the Derby itself, has his sights lowered today and should be seen to better effect.
RaulinD Tudhope - D O'Meara3-5134	15/2	—
Made a winning handicap debut at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in May and finished a good third over C&D 16 days later, no match for Topteam at Chester 19 days ago though and a 7lb turnaround in the weights may not be enough.

Thirsk [2nd Jul 17:13]

	Win	Place
Easy PeelerJason Hart - J & S Quinn212-31	3/1	20/21
Unexposed 3yo, confirmed the promise of her reappearance Haydock third in May when seeing off 12 fillies' in a 6f handicap at York 19 days ago, 4lb rise manageable and she's 2-2 on good to firm, stall 1 a possible concern but she still has plenty of potential upside.
Roberto CaroO McSweeney (3) - A Keatley100-84	4/1	6/5
Won two 6f handicaps last year, one of them over C&D, that success came on ground slower than good but he ran a cracker on fast ground at York 18 days ago, finishing off his race strongly and the only horse in the first seven home to come from a double-figure stall, on a dangerous mark but he might be of greater interest on a slower surface.
Pals BattalionD Tudhope - D O'Meara172258	13/2	9/5
He had been running creditably on turf prior to a disappointing effort at Ripon 13 days ago, looked all at sea on the undulations on that occasion and the return to a flatter track should suit, could still have a bigger run in him granted a good pace to run at.
Kats BobWilliam Pyle (3) - Mrs R Carr114361	7/1	19/10
Won his first four starts for Ruth Carr, including over C&D, the handicapper looked to have caught up but he disproved that theory when making all to beat 18 rivals at York last month (6f, good to firm), had a good draw there though, unlike fourth-placed Roberto Caro, and wouldn't be sure to confirm the placings.
Secret GuestAndrew Breslin (3) - B Smart-68107	9/1	5/2
Beat Pals Battalion over C&D in May when rated 3lb lower, not so good twice since and could find a few of these proving stronger.
Mythical PhoenixJ Fanning - Miss J A Camacho2354-4	9/1	5/2
Yet to win for this yard but he ran a string of good races last year, including C&D, and last month's Doncaster reappearance was encouraging (first run after wind surgery), cheekpieces back on now and he's one to take seriously.
TintoP Mulrennan - M Dods08-020	12/1	16/5
Three-time C&D winner, near miss off this mark here in May too (5f) and latest unplaced effort at Haydock came at a time when the stable were quiet, no obvious reason why he wouldn't go well.
Irish NectarS A Gray - K A Ryan518-29	14/1	15/4
His three wins have come on soft ground, the latest off 1lb lower at Doncaster last October, promising reappearance at Carlisle three weeks ago (5f, good to soft) but not sure today's ground is what he needs, new cheekpieces and Kevin Ryan's record in the race means he can't be discounted.
Mister SoxSean Kirrane - T D Easterby-11180	14/1	15/4
Started the year with a bang, winning 6f handicaps at Catterick, Pontefract and Ripon, stiff task at York next time and then had a lousy draw back at York (behind a couple of today's rivals) 18 days ago, chance if back to this year's best.
Manila ScouseD Allan - T D Easterby0-0776	14/1	15/4
Not found his best form so far this year but he's dropped 8lb and he was second in the corresponding race 12 months ago (good to soft), steps back up to 6f and he's worth a market check.
Dakota GoldConnor Beasley - M Dods502-10	18/1	11/2
Veteran who rolled back the years with his Ripon win in April (6f, good), down the field at Haydock since but he's better than that and can't be ruled out.
Reigning ProfitJ P Sullivan - Mrs R Carr231188	18/1	11/2
Running well over 5f this year, winning at Pontefract and Ripon this spring (both good ground), come up short off a BHA mark in the 80s the last twice and vulnerable again back up at 6f.
OrneCam Hardie - A Brittain0-0608	25/1	8/1
Group 3 win as a 2yo (7f, heavy) but progress levelled off for former stable, down the field at Epsom on his stable debut 25 days ago and 6f on quick ground might be an insufficient test.

Thirsk [2nd Jul 17:48]

	Win	Place
CalafrioOisin Murphy - P A Kirby8-2366	7/2	10/11
Won his only race when picking up a classified over C&D (good to firm) last August but he's also been second three times here and got no luck when runner-up in a division of this last year, also hit traffic when beaten just over 1l in Lady Of The Garr's race at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) last time, firmly on the short list with Oisin Murphy taking over.
Lady Of The GarrJason Hart - Miss Tracy Waggott124271	6/1	7/5
Had four of these behind when making her turf breakthrough at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) 13 days ago, just held on that day but likely to give it another good go, respected.
QuercusJ Fanning - Mrs A Duffield6-4562	13/2	6/4
5-39 on turf and he nearly bagged a sixth when just failing to grab Lady Of The Garr at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) last time, this extra yardage will help and he's a player.
Mrs TrumpP Mulrennan - P T Midgley-53725	9/1	2/1
Ran her best race this year when a neck second at Beverley (good to firm) on her penultimate start but was below that form when fifth of eight at Nottingham (also 5f, good, Doralee last) next time, has won at this trip.
Without FlawJoanna Mason - Miss T Jackson9-2623	10/1	9/4
1-24, holding her form well in recent weeks over 5f though, including when reunited with regular rider Joanna Mason and third at Ripon (good) a fortnight ago, first start over 6f this year and likely thereabouts again.
AsadjumeirahCam Hardie - A Brittain258274	12/1	11/4
C&D winner who had cheekpieces back on when beaten less than 1l by Lady Of The Garr at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) last time, he's another that will be suited by this slightly longer trip.
Gis A SubD Nolan - P T Midgley-30966	12/1	11/4
Has been on the downgrade for a good while now and he never threatened off this career-low mark last time, might pop back up one day but he's not the solid option.
Canaria QueenD Allan - T D Easterby-73544	12/1	11/4
On a losing run but she reqularly attracts market interest and went off favourite again when fourth of ten at Ripon (5f, good) in first-time cheekpieces (retained) a fortnight ago, finished seventh both previous start here and others are preferred.
Chester Le StreakD Swift - S Spencer3/7907	12/1	11/4
Two wins for Craig Lidster and he's run well here before but it's been a struggle for this yard and he can't be recommended at present.
Captain PicklesD C Costello - Mrs Stella Barclay8-8455	14/1	16/5
No better than fourth in any of his ten races but his latest fifth of 14 at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) was a step back in the right direction, the sole 3yo and he's not dismissed.
HurstwoodAiden Brookes (3) - P D Niven579219	16/1	7/2
Went close when second over C&D (good to firm) in May then won his tenth race, beating twelve others at Ripon (a race he'd won before) a fortnight later, form took a sharp dip last time, though.
Golden ProsperityAndrew Breslin (3) - T Coyle & K Wood809715	16/1	7/2
Won a Nottingham classified (6f, good) last month and couldn't get in from a wide stall when beaten just 1l in the Wetherby handicap (5.5f, good to firm) won by Lady Of The Garr 13 days ago, penalised that day and same mark here, not ruled out.
Rain CapMark Winn - J Riches-72246	16/1	7/2
Losing run stretches back to July 2023 but he threatened to get back on the scoresheeet when runner-up twice in May, probably not the percentage call.
KorroorTom Kiely-Marshall (5) - Miss J A Camacho783153	18/1	4/1
Both wins on AW, including when landing a Newcastle classified (6f) in a first-time visor in March, 15-8 favourite when beaten 2l by Golden Prosperity in a similar event at Nottingham 20 days ago and there's a bit of work on to turn the tables.
DoraleeConnor Beasley - T D Barron320-58	22/1	5/1
All starts at 5f, promise as a 3yo and beaten under 2l on her return to action at Redcar two months ago, form nosedived at Nottingham (good) when last of eight, beaten nearly nine lengths, 20 days ago, still relatively early days but she's hard to support after that.
JurymanBilly Garritty - Samantha & Jacqueline Coward70-948	25/1	6/1
Respectable effort when beaten 1l over C&D in May but his overall profile is patchy and today's cheekpieces didn't seem to work when used for the first time 34 days ago.
IfonlytheycudtalkSean Kirrane - T D Easterby-66068	25/1	6/1
Won at Beverley (5f, good) last September but not so good since and doesn't always look straightforward, passed over.
Crocus TimeHarry Russell - R E Barr690-45	28/1	7/1
0-22 and she became disappointing for Richard Hannon, leaving that yard after finishing fifth of nine at Southwell (7f, AW) in February, stable debut.
