Don't Miss Summer Family Days @thirskraces Classified Stakes

A win five starts back shows he retains ability, but three well-beaten efforts have followed and last time's sixth was no better. He has raced over today's trip before and wears a tongue-tie, with a place in this company the realistic target now.

Nothing better than two sixths in her last four starts, and the bottom-rated runner in the field on our figures, she has plenty to find. A 38-day break and blinkers again do not obviously help her cause, though she has raced over today's trip before.

Top of our figures on the back of a clear second among her last five starts, and she has raced over today's trip before. Yet to win in that sequence and returning from a 30-day break, but clearly feared on pure form.

Two runner-up efforts among his last five starts underline solid ability, and he has raced over today's trip before while continuing in cheekpieces. Yet to win in that sequence, but rated third in this field and clearly held in respect.

A fourth stands out from an otherwise modest run of five starts, and a 32-day break plus continued use of cheekpieces do little to inspire confidence. She has raced over today's trip before, but yet to win in that sequence and rated only mid-table here.
