UK Horse Racing Tips: Thirsk

PARR FIRE didn't do herself any favours when slowly into stride at over C&D last month, but she finished her race off well and the daughter of James Garfield remains on a workable mark. She is preferred to the consistent eight-race maiden Woobay and Hobson Point, who could be well suited by dropping back in trip. Let's Go Hugo can also have a say in proceedings.
Prediction : 1st Parr Fire 2nd Hobson Point 3rd Woobay

This could go the way of THYER, who is open to any amount of improvement on the back of a promising placed effort on debut at Newbury in July. The step up in trip is another plus and he may have too much for Bella Wella, who disappointed at York under a penalty following a taking success first time out at Carlisle. A half-brother to star mare Laurens, Scottish Reel looks to be the pick of the newcomers.
Prediction : 1st Thyer 2nd Bella Wella 3rd Scottish Reel

CINDERELLA'S DREAM didn't have it all her own way when getting off the mark first time out at Lingfield in May, and that experience should stand her in good stead as she returns from a 94-day break. Shin Jidai arrives with similar clams following a taking success at Newcastle on debut, though the form of that contest has not worked out in the interim. Faayzah is another open to improvement after a respectable effort at Newmarket.
Prediction : 1st Cinderellas Dream 2nd Shin Jidai 3rd Faayzah

This looks a stronger renewal than the one Runninwild won 12 months ago, but he is 1lb lower now despite being 2lb out of the handicap and must be respected. Gulliver hasn't tasted success for a while now but he can be involved from a much-reduced mark, though preference is for TINTO. Michael Dods' charge bounced back to form with a commanding victory at Redcar last month and a subsequent 4lb rise should not prevent him from mounting another stern challenge.
Prediction : 1st Tinto 2nd Runninwild 3rd Gulliver

Mount Athos, Gweedore and Danzan will all want to secure an early lead, which could set this up perfectly for hold-up performer SCOTTISH SUMMIT. The 10-year-old defeated The Cookstown Cafu over course and distance off 3lb lower in May, but he still has a bit in hand judged on past exploits. The latter should not be underestimated either, though he does need to bounce back having finished down the field at Carlisle in June.
Prediction : 1st Scottish Summit 2nd Mount Athos 3rd The Cookstown Cafu

Lunanera has to shoulder a 6lb penalty following a two-and-a-half-length success at Chepstow last month, which may not be enough to stop him being in the mix, but MY HONEY B shades the vote as she bids for a four-timer. The daughter of Zoffany is now rated 2lb higher for her latest success over an extended mile last month and, with more progression likely, she must enter calculations. Starshot was only narrowly denied over this distance at Ripon most recently and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st My Honey B 2nd Lunanera 3rd Starshot

TROOPER BISDEE bolted up over this trip at Ffos Las last month and a reproduction of that effort can see him firmly in the picture. He looks capable of defying a 6lb penalty for that success and, despite having to shoulder top-weight, he is fancied to get the better of the unexposed Art De Vivre, who makes her handicap debut off a fairly workable mark of 73. Cosmic Soul heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Trooper Bisdee 2nd Art De Vivre 3rd Cosmic Soul
