UK Horse Racing Tips: Thirsk

Denied by a short head in handicap company at Hamilton, this drop into classified company could prove just the ticket for TARLAC. The four-year-old ticks plenty of the right boxes in his current vein of form and edges the vote over Tickets. Patrick Neville's inmate made a pleasing second-placed stable bow at Newcastle 42 days ago and he isn't taken lightly. Mrs Trump is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Tarlac 2nd Tickets 3rd Mrs Trump

Although Time Glory shouldn't be far away if reproducing her third-placed effort at York in June, she does have something to prove after subsequently finishing last at Catterick. With that in mind, MY MARIA rates as the one to beat after filling the runner-up spot on her last two outings in handicap company. Karl Burke has enjoyed a fantastic season with his juveniles and newcomer Estella Havisham is a potential fly in the ointment, while Newcastle third Mollisha is open to improvement.
Prediction : 1st My Maria 2nd Time Glory 3rd Estella Havisham

Having been well found in the market when opening her account at Ayr recently, BYMIDDAYTOMORROW could be up to shouldering a 6lb penalty on her nursery bow. Ed Walker's filly scored with something in hand and Ashley Lewis' 3lb claim could prove invaluable. Gerry's Darling shares a similar profile to the selection and should make her mark entering this company, while Love Tanya is also heading in the right direction.
Prediction : 1st Bymiddaytomorrow 2nd Gerrys Darling 3rd Love Tanya

It will be interesting to see how QILA fares on his handicap debut after wind surgery and fitted with a first-time tongue-tie. His length second to a previous winner at Newcastle in May would give him chances off an official rating of 71. Military Girl struggled to go the early pace in her hunt for a third straight victory over C&D in June and is not to be dismissed, while the hat-trick seeking Azuinthejungle can pull too hard which could be a negative in this small field.
Prediction : 1st Qila 2nd Military Girl 3rd Azuinthejungle

Master Vintner deserves a third career success after finishing second on his last two starts, though he is yet to live up to the level of his debut third to future Gold Cup winner Scandinavia. Wahdan is yet to prove this is his trip with his one win over an extended 1m1f at Chantilly, making this a decent opportunity for Epsom winner SUDU. Off since a poor run in a much better race at Goodwood last July, he may have been found a winnable opportunity by trainer Roger Varian.
Prediction : 1st Sudu 2nd Master Vintner 3rd Wahdan

Trainer Mick Appleby is renowned for freshening up horses from other yards so it will be interesting to see how Overbudget does on her first start since leaving Dylan Cunha. She could place but GREAT PROFIT is overdue a first success after finishing second on his last three outings, the latest at Ayr 11 days ago. Keeping on well that day despite losing a shoe, this could be his best chance yet. Top-weight Maximum Velocity was mugged close home at Leicester and he may be the one for the forecast.
Prediction : 1st Great Profit 2nd Maximum Velocity 3rd Overbudget
