Two unplaced efforts in his last four starts make Dain Ma Nut In hard to fancy, and our rating ranks him eighth of eleven; he does have experience over today's trip and conditions, and 21 days between runs suggests he arrives fresh.
AI verdict

SR 69 suggests ability but 28/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Northern Express brings a timely 22-day break and course-winning fitness into this, scoring last time out and holding a strong rating edge over his rivals; has run over today's trip and going, and 137 lb is the one test of his claims.

SR 94 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Returned a winner last time out, Pure Legend arrives here after a 69-day break with questions to answer about fitness, though that victory shows he retains ability; unexposed enough to leave that form behind if sharpened by the break.

SR 87 suggests ability but 12/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Witch Hunter has run over today's trip and going before, and his rating of 102 — nine pounds above his official mark — suggests he's significantly better than his recent winless sequence implies; the risk is that six starts without threatening the frame makes it hard to trust him fully.
AI verdict

SR 81 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 14/1.

Winless in his last five starts, Tuscan Hills at least brings experience of today's trip and conditions, and a fifth last time out hints at modest improvement; carrying 133 lb from stall 10, he remains one to watch rather than trust at this level.

SR 77 suggests ability but 14/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Mirsky showed his best when winning five starts back, and he returns here fit on 28 days' rest, carrying 133 lb from stall 5 with experience of today's trip and going in his favour; the risk is that his last two outings have both been well below that level.

SR 94 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Winless in his last five starts, Mr Swivell nevertheless caught the eye with a second last time out and a rating of 99 suggests he merits serious respect from stall 2; the risk is that fourth and unplaced efforts before that hint at inconsistency.

Third last time out gives Sterling Knight some recent credibility, but two unplaced runs between that and his win four starts back make him inconsistent; he has run over today's trip and going, and 131 lb is a stiff ask if he's to land a blow from stall six.

Jeddaal has winning form in recent starts — a winner last time out and a winner three starts back — but ranked ninth of eleven on our figures, he faces a stiff ask at 122 lb from stall seven after 49 days off, with only experience over today's trip and going to encourage.

Mirsky
Confidence: Medium

Mirsky (SR 94, 11/4) is the joint-highest rated runner alongside Northern Express but carries the lightest weight among them at 9-7, and crucially has Course:W2P2 at Thirsk — a genuine course specialist advantage that neither Jeddaal nor Mr Swivell can match. The market has shortened 51% since opening, the strongest move in the field, with David O'Meara (11%, 1216 runners) booking Daniel Tudhope (16%, 805 runners) — O'Meara's go-to pilot who knows the track well. Running off the same mark as last win (MarkMv:=), this is a horse in a good place in the handicap, and the 9 going on 7f218y at Thirsk should present no issues even with a GoingFit:? given the course form speaks for itself. Each-way alternative: Jeddaal. Main danger: Jeddaal — Jeddaal (SR 103, 7/2) is the highest-rated horse in the field with both DistFit:+ and GoingFit:+ confirmed, and despite drifting 18% in the market — possibly due to the 49-day absence — Ed Walker (15%, 783 runners) is a trainer who prepares horses well for returns and a 3-year-old running off 8-10 with a clear class ceiling to exploit is a live threat.
