Thirsk Sky Bet Summer Festival Day Friday 24th July Handicap Stakes

Capital Guarantee is fresh, back only 12 days after his latest run, and already holds form over today's distance. He remains without a win in his last six starts, and the yard is out of form, but he brings the highest official rating into this field.

Degale shares the fastest figures on the clock of these six and already holds form over today's distance, back just 12 days after his latest run. He remains without a win in his last six starts, with modest finishing positions the obvious blot on that record.

Harswell Ruby was runner-up last time out and returns quickly again nine days later, sharing the fastest figures on the clock here in cheekpieces. She remains without a win in her last six starts, with mostly mid-field finishes before that latest effort.

Military Leader has been well placed, with two wins and two runner-up efforts in his last five starts, and holds form over today's distance in blinkers. He is only rated on a par with his official mark, and the lengthy break since his latest run is the concern.

Cosmos Raj has failed to find a placing in his last five starts and the yard is currently out of form, leaving him rated last of these six. He does have experience over today's distance, though, and quicker figures on the clock than his placings suggest.
