UK Horse Racing Tips: Thirsk

NAPOLIAN, the runner-up to a promising type when introduced at Ripon last month, looks the one to beat here. The son of Kodiac, who holds a Group 2 entry for the Mill Reef, as well as a couple of early-closer races, should be a good deal wiser and notably represents a yard that won a division of this race last year. Alaminos and Jazl are interesting newcomers, while Mademoiselle Belle is the pick of the rest with experience.
Prediction : 1st Napolian 2nd Alaminos 3rd Jazl

HAADERR is a half-brother to this year's Britannia runner-up La Botte and could be well placed to follow in the footsteps of his sibling. Denied by just a head when second to a Group 2-entered colt in a Haydock maiden last month, a step forward could suffice here. Hasbro Market and Kiss For An Angel both filled the same finishing position on their debut runs and also command respect now that have experience. Goldie Bear also merits a betting check.
Prediction : 1st Haaderr 2nd Hasbro Market 3rd Kiss For An Angel

Ingleby Archie is consistent and should be capable of another bold showing, while Dickieburd is very dangerous to ignore competing off 10lb below his last winning mark. However, there really isn't much to chose between any of the sextet. With that in mind, it could be worth chancing STASH THE CASH, who is back on an attractive rating and won't need to find much to cause a minor upset in what could well be a tactical affair.
Prediction : 1st Stash The Cash 2nd Ingleby Archie 3rd Dickieburd

Karl Burke has his string in excellent form lately and ARBITRATION might add to his winner tally here. Third at Musselburgh last month but only beaten a length, the Beckford gelding could get off the mark at the ninth attempt here if he repeats or betters that effort. Tim Easterby is also in among the winners and we can expect a big run from Redcar third Empire Power on her handicap debut, while Far Ahead could be a different proposition returning to this trip.
Prediction : 1st Arbitration 2nd Empire Power 3rd Far Ahead

Jez Bomb took a class 6 Doncaster handicap by a neck last time out, but an added 3lb from the handicapper may mean the C&D winner has to settle for a place. Hostelry reappears quickly after her unlucky Leicester third and is due to go up 1lb for future races, but BERNALDA gets the nod. Placed over further on his last three starts, he travels up from Newmarket and looks likely to be far better suited by the drop to a mile.
Prediction : 1st Bernalda 2nd Hostelry 3rd Jez Bomb

Made All is the only distance winner in this field after scoring at Catterick last month and he was far from disgraced when third at Musselburgh since. He can go close, but if ARUNDEL reacts positively to a first-time visor, Ed Dunlop's Yarmouth second could be the one if he takes to the added two furlongs off the same mark. Arranmore won by a head at Newcastle at the beginning of the month and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Arundel 2nd Made All 3rd Arranmore
