UK Horse Racing Tips: Thirsk

The twice-raced AMERICAN STYLE, who was only a head behind subsequent Chesham Stakes runner-up Pentle Bay in a maiden at Leicester 29 days ago, appeals strongly given how well the form is panning out. That run was a marked improvement from the selection's debut in a warm novice at York and further improvement can see him get off the mark here. Cugini and Bella Love are other promising types to consider, while support in the betting for Richard Fahey's newcomer, Ay Gee Ell, would also be noteworthy.
Prediction : 1st American Style 2nd Cugini 3rd Bella Love

The Crafty Mole, who had a 3lb claimer in the saddle when he overhauled BELIEVITANDUCAN near the finish to score at both Wetherby and Redcar earlier in the campaign, commands respect. However, the latter has done little wrong and can take advantage of his old adversary picking up a 6lb penalty for last week's Yarmouth win. Shadowofyoursmile also enters calculations as a lightly raced and improving stayer, whereas the betting can guide with Lingfield winner Nancy P, who steps up a couple of furlongs off 5lb higher.
Prediction : 1st Believitanducan 2nd The Crafty Mole 3rd Shadowofyoursmile

THE REVEREND was noted as a promising type when he made a winning debut at Newmarket at the back end of last season and, assuming he handles the forecast quicker ground, this could be a profitable starting point for the son of Loupe De Vega's three-year-old season. Thunder Run also entered notebooks with a good second on his racecourse bow at Wetherby 22 days ago and is shortlisted with improvement highly likely. Long distance traveller, Urban Lion, is another keep a close eye on in the betting.
Prediction : 1st The Reverend 2nd Thunder Run 3rd Urban Lion

GEORGIE WOOSTER went up 9lb after a smooth display on her handicap debut at Redcar in May. The form of that contest has worked out particularly well, with the runner-up winning twice along with the third and fourth, so it would be no surprise if Tim Easterby's gelding had further improvement to come. Savvy Warrior appreciated the drop back to 7f when getting off the mark at Wetherby and is a player off a 4lb higher mark. Others for the shortlist include Langholm and Masterclass.
Prediction : 1st Georgie Wooster 2nd Savvy Warrior 3rd Langholm

PATONTHEBACK's bid for a hat-trick of victories saw him go very close to doing so when finishing a half-length second at Beverley last Tuesday. The six-year-old takes advantage of the fact he can race off the same mark before being reassessed and may prove a tough nut to crack. Arnaz remains open to progression on just his sixth career outing, while Sunny Orange appears best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Patontheback 2nd Arnaz 3rd Sunny Orange

JEHANGEER made a promising return to action when third to the progressive Woodhay Wonder at Newmarket in May and that rival has since performed with a lot of credit at Royal Ascot. The son of Kodiac was subsequently gelded and given a wind operation, so he may take another step forward. Tinto won over C&D when last seen and has to be considered along with Summerghand, who has shown signs in recent months that he remains in good heart.
Prediction : 1st Jehangeer 2nd Tinto 3rd Summerghand

Winless since scoring at Musselburgh last August, FORESEEABLE FUTURE has dropped 9lb in the weights since then, and stepping up in trip could work the oracle as he looks to build upon a strong placed effort at Ripon. Less than a length behind him in that contest was Willow Baby (fifth), who can have a say again, while Modular Magic has decent claims on his penultimate effort at Ayr. Others to note include Calafrio, Chattel Village and Ishe Worth Agamble.
Prediction : 1st Foreseeable Future 2nd Willow Baby 3rd Modular Magic

A taking winner over 5f at Chepstow last week, GUNNERSIDE is out again quickly for his in-form connections and may be able to follow up under a 4lb penalty on the rise in distance. The son of Gutaifan may have too much for the capable Sydney Bay, as well as Northern Prince, who ran arguably a career-best when not beaten here over 5f last time out.
Prediction : 1st Gunnerside 2nd Northern Prince 3rd Sydney Bay
