UK Horse Racing Tips: Thirsk

The two with experience didn't show much to be overly enthusiastic about on their respective debut runs, so this appears likely to go to a newcomer. ROYAL FIXATION is a half-sister to a couple of winning sprinters and is suggested as the first one to consider. Mandarin Spirit is bred along similar lines and commands respect, especially as her yard won the corresponding race on this card last year. Loma Express is another attractively-bred filly that could have a say.
Prediction : 1st Royal Fixation 2nd Mandarin Spirit 3rd Loma Express

COEDANA has finished second to a warm favourite in each of her previous starts and shown enough to recommend her as being a capable player here. Brielle's debut run at Haydock was an encouraging display and she too warrants a close inspection in the betting market. Ghaiyya is more exposed but her experience counts for plenty, and she is suggested as best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Coedana 2nd Brielle 3rd Ghaiyya

LADY ROXBY is an attractive proposition on her debut run for in-form trainer Michael Herrington and could be well placed to make a winning return. Having readily fended off Jeany May (second) when she won at Musselburgh on her penultimate start, there is a lot to like about her chance here. Recent Salisbury winner Blue Anthem could be the biggest danger to the selection off just 3lb higher, while Beerwah has been cut some slack by the handicapper and appeals for a place.
Prediction : 1st Lady Roxby 2nd Blue Anthem 3rd Beerwah

Dual C&D scorer LORD ABAMA gets a tentative vote in this open-looking handicap. He can be excused a slightly below par effort at Ripon, where hampered soon after the start, and is better judged on two solid runner-up efforts prior to that. One More Dream finished a couple of lengths ahead of the selection at Ripon and should again go well, while Muscika and Dicko The Legend are just two more with claims.
Prediction : 1st Lord Abama 2nd One More Dream 3rd Muscika

It could pay to side with the least exposed member of the line-up, BLUE RC. James Tate's colt shaped with lots of promise when runner-up on his handicap debut over this trip at Kempton and the third has franked that form by winning easily since. Open to plenty of further improvement, he may go one better off a 2lb higher mark. Daring Legend has been hammering on the door and looks sure to be in the shake-up once again, while Benacre also merits consideration with his sights lowered.
Prediction : 1st Blue Rc 2nd Daring Legend 3rd Benacre

A runner-up at Redcar last month, GOLDEN RAINBOW went close again when third at Wetherby on his latest start. Those efforts suggest a return to winning ways is imminent and Rebecca Menzies' charge is marginally preferred to King's Crown in an open sprint. The latter has also been in the mix of late and another bold bid is anticipated, while Dandy Fitz and Match Play are not without claims either.
Prediction : 1st Golden Rainbow 2nd Kings Crown 3rd Dandy Fitz

EQUITY LAW could prove the one to side with. The son of Equiano has been running well in more competitive sprints, including when runner-up here in May, and it's only a matter of time before the four-year-old gets his head back in front. Catch Cunningham is another with solid claims back in this lower grade, while Ready Freddie Go could bounce back to form on his first start after a wind operation.
Prediction : 1st Equity Law 2nd Catch Cunningham 3rd Ready Freddie Go
