Thirsk 24/07

[Lars]

15:40 Guestofthenation is a course winner which is quite an important factor at Thirsk. Has been raced from between 1m and 1m4f, and it's last run at Wolverhampton was fairly encouraging, especially for it's first go at that distance and it could kick on from that performance today. R.Ffrench booked to ride is another positive. 1pt Win at 5/1 Ladbrokes 17:20 Miss Daawe is two wins out of three on this track and looks a strong bet. Not sure if the RP has tipped this because there is a fair bit of market support this early. Has been consistently "up there" in recent races, coming third not so long ago. It won this race last year and with the same jockey aboard today, as well as being down a few lbs from that run, it definitely could get it's neck in front again today at Thirsk. 1pt Win 13-2 SportingBet

Re: Thirsk 24/07 16:15 Rafta will probably win this one, although she does have to overcome a hike in the weights, and having to face some more experienced campaigners. I'm going to oppose Rafta with Poppy Rose, this horse has been solid on the all-weather in June with two places, and had a good third on soft ground at Pontefract last week. At the 9/1 currently available, it's a chance to take. 1pt EW - 9/1 Bet365
