Thirsk

Tomorrow, May 3, 2025FlatClass 27f

Plenty who like to go forward here and that could play into the hands of the patiently ridden RHYTHM MASTER who shaped with plenty of encouragement when runner-up at this course last month and remains fairly treated. Chief danger is Obelix who made a very promising reappearance in the same contest, while Our Havana looks capable of running a big race if settling on his second try over the mile.

    Verdict
    Proved at least as good as ever when winning 13-runner handicap at Haydock (8.2f) in September and shaped as though retaining all of that ability when fourth over 7f here on reappearance, short of room and finished with running left. One to be interested in back over 1m.

    Verdict
    Shaped well when length fourth of 12 in the Lincoln Trial on his Wolverhampton (8.6f) reappearance but failed to back that up in the Lincoln next time. Lightly-raced and worth another chance.

    Verdict
    Placed in the English and Irish 2000 Guineas in 2023 but was badly out of sorts last season. Again well below form when seventh of 9 in a Listed race at Ayr (10f, good to firm). Drops into handicap company with something to prove returning from 7 months off.

    Verdict
    Has shown improved form this year making it 3 wins in 5 starts and proving himself as effective on turf when landing an 8-runner handicap at Musselburgh (7.1f, good) 20 days ago. Strong pace forecast should give him every chance of settling over this longer trip. Good claims.

    Verdict
    Twice a winner for Ger Lyons and showed same useful form for current connections last Autumn. Probably needed the run following a breathing operation/5 months off last time and he's not one to discount if back to something like his best.

    Verdict
    Course winner took advantage of a drop in grade to land a 9-runner handicap (3/1) at Redcar (7f, good to firm) 12 days ago, keeping on well. Still well treated on the best of his old form but this is a tougher ask back up in class.

    Verdict
    7-y-o is a credit to connections and won this race in 2023. Looked rusty on his return when fifth of 6 in conditions stakes at this venue (7f). He's sure to come on for that but will have to overcome a career high mark.

    Verdict
    On a long losing run but has returned to form refitted with headgear. Runner-up at this track when meeting trouble in a 7f handicap prior to a useful effort when second of 8 at Redcar over 1m last time. On a good mark and merits serious consideration.

    Verdict
    Smart 3-y-o (won Group 2) but largely out of sorts in his 4-y-o season. Likely needed the run (after 4 months off) when fourth of 6 in a conditions race over C&D 3 weeks ago. Remains to be seen whether he can take advantage of his falling mark back in a handicap.

    Verdict
    Winner of the 1m all-weather championship final handicap in 2024 and ran respectably in the 2025 edition when fourth of 14 at Newcastle last time. Returns to turf off the same mark and while in good heart, he may be better on the all-weather.

    Verdict
    Likeable veteran finished last season winning a 7f Ayr handicap (a race he'd also won in 2020 & 2021). Makes his reappearance in a race that he won in 2022 but he may have to settle for minor honours on this occasion.

    Verdict
    Landed 10-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) in March and still shaped with credit without quite matching that effort when fifth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 15 days ago. Has proven he can be competitive on turf from this sort of mark but the sharper trip is a question mark.

    Verdict
    C&D winner is back down to his last winning mark but didn't shape like a winner in waiting on final starts of last season. Looks to be an outsider on his first run for 6 months.
