Fourth last time out, and a third three starts back, this gelding is winless in his last five but rates 64, marking him among the leading dangers. He has run over today's trip and going before, with the lack of a win the one query.
AI verdict

SR 60 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Won last time out, this filly carries our top rating of 65 and has run over today's trip and going before. Back within nine days of that success, she looks the one to beat, with a modest speed figure of 54 the main blot.

Sixth last time out, and a second two starts back, this gelding is yet to score in his last six starts but shows a strong speed figure of 71. He has run over today's trip and going before, though last time's dip to sixth is the one query.

Eighth last time out, and a winner five starts back, this gelding has otherwise been frequently in the frame. He has run over today's trip and going before, and a rating of 61 keeps him firmly in the pack rather than among the leaders.
AI verdict

SR 65 suggests ability but 4/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Sixth last time out, and a second four starts back, this filly is winless in her last five but ranks second of these nine on our figures. She has run over today's trip and going before, though the 18-day gap since her last outing is the one concern.
AI verdict

SR 36 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 28/1.

Without a win in her last five starts and yet to find the frame, this filly does carry a workmanlike speed figure of 68. She has run over today's trip and going before, with a rating of 62 keeping her among the pack rather than the leading dangers.

SR 33 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 33/1.

Irish Dancer
Confidence: Medium

Irish Dancer (SR 65, 4/1) is the highest-rated horse in the field and the only runner with confirmed DistFit:+ and GoingFit:+ — meaning she has a proven record at 5f on good ground, precisely today's conditions. Her Course:W1P2 at Thirsk adds further specificity, and the market has steamed in 72% since opening, the most dramatic move in the race. Carrying 9-10 is manageable given her SR edge over the field. The 8th-place last run looks concerning but her form-string prior shows multiple placed efforts at this level and the connections clearly believe she returns to form today based on the market move. Each-way alternative: Albegone. Main danger: Sunlit Sea — Sunlit Sea (SR 60, 5/2) is the joint-highest rated alongside Irish Dancer, comes from the powerful Sir Mark Prescott yard which operates at 18% strike rate, and a last-run win (rightmost digit 1 in Form:27-841) keeps the form live — despite the 42% drift which remains the main concern.
