2:08 Thirsk Tips

This horse won the Thirsk Hunt Cup here earlier in the season. He is back on his last winning mark, and with Danny Tudhope aboard a big run is anticipated.

Four runs for the year this year, improved form in his last two start. He was 2nd of 13 and clear of the rest three weeks ago in a strong looking handicap. Same 8f trip and fast ground for this handicap and still weighted to run a big race.

Northern Express won for the first time in some time at York last time. He was his trademark tough self that day, and there is no reason that he won't be up for the battle again here. He still looks well handicapped on his best form, so despite his big weight, he is no forlorn hope.

This one is from a stable that are going quite well and a talented apprentice takes the ride here. He may be a bit vulnerable for win purposes but at 14/1 could be a good E/W bet.

This one looks overpriced to me. The yard are among the winners, and this consistent animal can go close here if ridden with more restraint than last time.

Dain Ma Nut In was outpaced over shorter 21 days ago should appreciate this stamina stretching distance. He is drawn in stall one and he is weight claim should give him a chance.
