UK Horse Racing Tips: Thirsk

APIARIST appeals on pedigree and, having finished a respectable fourth at York on his debut, he has potential to improve with that experience to draw upon. Sailthisshipalone was just a short head in front of the selection on the Knavesmire and has to enter calculations, while Windsor scorer Sonmarg is respected but giving weight away at this stage makes for a tough test.
Prediction : 1st Apiarist 2nd Sailthisshipalone 3rd Sonmarg

DEIMOS, an entrant in next month's valuable two-year-old sales race at Doncaster, is an appealing debutant representing a yard boasting a healthy strike-rate with juveniles this season. He is a full-brother to useful sprinter Lady Penelope but also inherits potential to flourish over this trip from the dam's side. Silent Move is the most noteworthy of those with previous experience, although Quintus Maximus and Foreign Exchange are likely improvers to note.
Prediction : 1st Deimos 2nd Silent Move 3rd Quintus Maximus

There is a lot to like about APOCALYX's pedigree and, with his yard currently operating at a good strike-rate, this son of Calyx is the first one to note in race where the betting market is likely to provide plenty of clues. Midnite Storm rates highest of those with previous experience after a solid debut at Doncaster last month, while Cuban Storm and Pen Portrait are other newcomers to consider.
Prediction : 1st Apocalyx 2nd Midnite Storm 3rd Cuban Storm

An eye-catcher over C&D last time when staying on strongly for second, ONLY IN JAKARTA must hold every chance if building on that effort. Kevin Ryan's charge gets the vote ahead of course second Jungle Jim and Rawaasi, who performed very well at Ascot last month and seems to be improving with each start. Kings Merchant and costly newcomer Firing Squad are capable of being in the shake-up too.
Prediction : 1st Only In Jakarta 2nd Rawaasi 3rd Jungle Jim

MUKER has done well since joining the Nigel Tinkler stable and his most recent effort when second at Haydock hinted that a fourth career success could be on the way. The five-year-old is still well handicapped on old form and he may have too much for narrow Windsor winner Abate and Majeski Man, who went very close over C&D last time out.
Prediction : 1st Muker 2nd Abate 3rd Majeski Man

A taking winner on his first start for the David O'Meara stable at Musselburgh, CAPITAL GUARANTEE could be well treated off a mark of 78 on his handicap debut and he can follow up. That may be at the main expense of the inconsistent but capable Prairie Falcon and Roaring Ralph, who has been in good nick having won two of his last four starts.
Prediction : 1st Capital Guarantee 2nd Prairie Falcon 3rd Roaring Ralph

PRINCE ACHILLE (second) and Jamih (fourth) renew rivalry after they met over C&D last week and, considering they compete off the same weights, it's hard to envisage those placings being reversed. Valley Of Flowers has been a real consistent performer this year and would be foolish to dismiss off the same mark as her Catterick third last time. Edwina Sheeran is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Prince Achille 2nd Jamih 3rd Valley Of Flowers

BOWLAND PARK attempted to make all when filling the runner-up spot at Haydock in a class 4 event on his return to the fray, which was a very pleasing first start back. He looks sure to go very close off the same mark. Global Spirit is also of interest in first-time blinkers, while Arranmore could also go well if he can build on his latest Pontefract second.
Prediction : 1st Bowland Park 2nd Global Spirit 3rd Arranmore
