325 7f handicap charlie tipple 8/1 sportingbet back to 7f after competing over longer trips.expecting horse to be dropped in by the underrated graham gibbons today from a wide draw, coming with a late rattle. couple of hard luck stories lately, namely not handling beverley last time out, and being denied a clear run a start before that. if he can produce form of runs at donny and york last year, and stay out of trouble,he can go close. intestesting that tim easterby has decided to use gibbons rather than apprentice duran fentiman who would take a valuable 3lbs off. very positive booking for me, and a sound each way bet.

Re: Thirsk 17/06/08 Horse: Niteowl Lad (IRE) 8/1 Coral Horse: Raccoon (IRE) 7/1 coral Course: THIRSK Time: 5.40 Your Notes: 2 from either side of the draw here. Niteowl ran well from poor draw at beverley a couple of runs ago and confirmed that promise with a good run from out of the handicap subsequently. He looks in good form and can run well again despite a long losing streak. Raccoon has also been running well in defeat, defeated by the draw on last 2 runs – there is a question mark over the draw agin today but the bias dopesnt appear to be so promounced in big fields
