UK Horse Racing Tips: Thirsk

GALADRIEL failed to reward her supporters in the Albany at Royal Ascot but the daughter of Dutch Art can be given another chance based on her fourth-placed finish on debut in a Listed race at York. Imperial Gloriana has displayed promise on both previous starts and she is an obvious threat to the selection. Frankel's Storm and Diamond Sparkles are both entitled to improve for their debut experiences, while Sweet Serenade is a newcomer to note.
Prediction : 1st Galadriel 2nd Imperial Gloriana 3rd Frankels Storm

COOL SPHERE was only denied by a head when finishing second in a maiden at Windsor 11 days ago and he can provide his supporters with some valuable compensation. Baltic State caught the eye on his debut at Ayr and he should not be underestimated, while Hostelry and Ventura Lightning are others who merit places on the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Cool Sphere 2nd Baltic State 3rd Hostelry

In a wide-open contest the marginal preference is for LETHAL LAURA, who got off the mark at Chelmsford two starts ago and followed that with a solid effort at Nottingham last time out. Tails I Win has been running well enough of late to suggest that she could make the frame. Others to consider are Parion, Lady Lavinia and The Big House.
Prediction : 1st Lethal Laura 2nd Tails I Win 3rd Parion

ROSE OF KILDARE was deemed good enough to run in the Chesham at Royal Ascot last month so it wouldn't be a surprise if she took advantage of these calmer shores. The two-year-old handled varying ground well prior to her Ascot trip and will appreciate this drop in distance. Aberama Gold made it third time lucky at Carlisle 20 days ago, while hat-trick seeker Troubador warrants plenty of respect.
Prediction : 1st Rose Of Kildare 2nd Aberama Gold 3rd Troubador

VALKENBURG won on fast ground at Pontefract off 3lb lower earlier in the season and looks well treated with apprentice Sean Davis removing a valuable 3lb in the plate. The four-year-old scored over 2m2f in April so should be fine over this trip. Remember The Days is versatile and enters calculations, while Mondain gets weight for age and is fully expected to be ridden prominently by Joe Fanning.
Prediction : 1st Valkenburg 2nd Mondain 3rd Remember The Days

STEWARDESS won in good style at Nottingham earlier in the month and a 4lb rise for that effort is unlikely to stop Richard Fahey's filly from making it two on the bounce. Local History shaped on handicap debut at Kempton as though the return to 6f would suit, while Sapphire Jubilee is worth another chance as she encounters better ground than when fifth at Carlisle in May.
Prediction : 1st Stewardess 2nd Local History 3rd Sapphire Jubilee

SPOT LITE has taken a step forward on his last couple of outings, since fitted with cheekpieces, and his recent second at Chepstow gives him every chance of gaining his first success in over a year. Point Of Woods scored at Doncaster on Saturday and has to enter calculations under a 5lb penalty, while Hello Girl and Suitcase 'n' Taxi appear best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Spot Lite 2nd Point Of Woods 3rd Hello Girl
