UK Horse Racing Tips: Thirsk

Jamih is not easily dismissed but she failed to recover from a tardy start when 12th at Catterick last time, where PERIPETEIA finished fourth. The latter should feature in the finish off her current mark with a similar effort and Philip Kirby's inmate may prove the one to side with. Three Platoon has a shout on his third at Beverley two starts ago, while Can Can Girl won off today's handicap rating over a longer trip at Doncaster in July and could also go well.
Prediction : 1st Peripeteia 2nd Jamih 3rd Three Platoon

FALLEN SOLDIER will have gone into a few notebooks when finishing fourth in a Southwell nursery on his handicap debut. He had to be switched for a clear run in the closing stages and is taken to turn the tables with the winner, River Blackwater, on today's more favourable terms. The latter is still improving and can go well again despite a 5lb rise, while Royal Accord may improve in a first-time tongue-tie having posted a better effort in a nursery at Lingfield last time.
Prediction : 1st Fallen Soldier 2nd River Blackwater 3rd Royal Accord

MOOSTAR has improved with every start so far and will appreciate this return to 6f, having failed to settle when third over the minimum trip in novice company at Yarmouth. Darryll Holland's Zoustar filly looks one to keep on the right side of now handicapping and is preferred to Isla Bella, who won her maiden race over today's trip at Brighton back in May and can also feature. Bungle Reigns and Spring Corn are both worth noting on their nursery debut.
Prediction : 1st Moostar 2nd Isla Bella 3rd Bungle Reigns

LOCAL LAD caught the eye on his racecourse debut when fourth in a Group 3 at the Curragh over 6f, having displayed signs of greenness throughout that performance. The step up to 7f promises to yield a fair amount of improvement and the gelded son of Sea The Moon has been found the ideal opportunity to shed the maiden tag. Chemical, Watching Stars and Valiant Knight have all shown promise to date, but the main threat may come from the well-bred Regal Agenda, who is closely related to Grade 1-placed Royal Champion.
Prediction : 1st Local Lad 2nd Regal Agenda 3rd Chemical

Agnes Grey clearly benefited from the application of blinkers when gaining a first career victory at Carlisle on Wednesday. However, it remains to be seen if the headgear will have the same desired effect and the two-length third from that contest, THE GAY BLADE, might be the one to take advantage. With the winner picking up a penalty, Iain Jardine's gelding is 5lb better off on this occasion and he is taken to land a fourth win of the year. Others to consider include Tees Douge and Calafrio.
Prediction : 1st The Gay Blade 2nd Agnes Grey 3rd Tees Douge

MIDNIGHT'S DREAM returns from a break having finished third when last seen at Salisbury in May and Roger Varian's colt makes a fair amount of appeal on his first start in handicap company. Mereside Madness is likely to enter calculations following his recent second at Chelmsford when tried in blinkers for the first time, while Woodleigh appears worth another try at 7f based on his placed effort at Haydock in June.
Prediction : 1st Midnights Dream 2nd Mereside Madness 3rd Woodleigh

Fibonacci Sequence needed every inch of a mile when opening her account in a novice event at Chelmsford last month and she enters handicaps off what looks a workable mark of 68. However, course winner LOKANA makes slightly more appeal off a career-low rating. The daughter of Waldgeist posted a respectable third at Ripon on her latest outing and a 1lb ease in the ratings can only help. Style Of Life also enters the reckoning on her switch to turf.
Prediction : 1st Lokana 2nd Fibonacci Sequence 3rd Style Of Life

Mister Sox has proved a model of consistency since a below-par reappearance when finishing ninth at Thirsk in early April and Tim Easterby's inmate is sure to prove popular. Although it is hard to see the four-year-old being out of the frame, he's likely to be priced accordingly and it may be worth taking a punt on EMILY POST. The Charming Thought mare has dropped back to her last winning mark and this return to 7f could prove crucial. Reputation and Sparkling Red are also noted.
Prediction : 1st Emily Post 2nd Mister Sox 3rd Reputation
