UK Horse Racing Tips: Thirsk

Martinet offered something to work with on her opening fourth at Wolverhampton and she should put that experience to good use. However, she may have her work cut out against newcomer DIAMOND NEW BAY, who is closely related to several winners. Karl Burke has enjoyed a fantastic season with his juveniles and market support for his New Bay filly would increase confidence. Diplomata may fare best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Diamond New Bay 2nd Martinet 3rd Diplomata

A winner on his debut at Newbury, this could prove a suitable opportunity for BLESSED VOYAGER to keep his unbeaten record intact. Ralph Beckett's charge got the better of some useful rivals and he looks capable of conceding weight all round. Although Statten Island was somewhat underwhelming on his latest fourth at Ayr, he may have found the ground too soft. A reproduction of his fourth-placed opening bid at York would see him involved, followed by Blakey Ridge.
Prediction : 1st Blessed Voyager 2nd Statten Island 3rd Blakey Ridge

A switch to more aggressive tactics saw Lady Dublin making all on her nursery bow at Catterick. Jake Dickson negates the majority of her 6lb penalty with his 5lb claim and Ollie Pears' filly is likely to prove popular. However, this looks more competitive and it could be worth chancing LIVEADREAM off an opening mark of 60. The daughter of Ardad finished ahead of the aforementioned rival when runner-up at Musselburgh and an opening mark of 60 looks workable. Lairy Mary and Enemy Action are others of interest.
Prediction : 1st Liveadream 2nd Lady Dublin 3rd Lairy Mary

Gibside faces a less demanding task than of late and looks fairly treated if back on song. However, the progressive TUPERO could prove the one to beat. The son of Frankel has enjoyed a short break since landing a double over today's distance back in May and further improvement looks forthcoming from David O'Meara's four-year-old. Gaelic Approach appears to have lost his way, so Twilight Safari looks pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Tupero 2nd Gibside 3rd Twilight Safari

ZOOELLA returned the impressive winner at Lingfield on her recent seasonal reappearance and handicap bow. She pulled readily clear in the final furlong and Ralph Beckett's Zoustar filly looks one to keep on the right side of as she debuts on the turf. Celtic Arrow is another unexposed type to keep in mind given she went close here at the start of the month, while Canaria Queen heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Zooella 2nd Celtic Arrow 3rd Canaria Queen

MAX OF STARS won over C&D by five lengths last September and recent form reads well as she bids to resume winning ways. She struggled over hurdles at Newton Abbot last time but at least she's race-fit and showed up well when last on the Flat at Ripon. Dubai Venture will no doubt have his supporters following a smooth Pontefract victory, while Wolf Of Badenoch is another to bear in mind.
Prediction : 1st Max Of Stars 2nd Dubai Venture 3rd Wolf Of Badenoch

It was only a three-runner contest that SUNLIT SEA won at Lingfield, but you can only beat what is put in front of you and Sir Mark Prescott's filly did that very well. She appreciated the drop back to the minimum trip that day and a 6lb penalty is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. The daughter of Mehmas gets a confident vote ahead of So Grateful and Dabbling.
Prediction : 1st Sunlit Sea 2nd So Grateful 3rd Dabbling
