Havana Bay609
Age: 4|  Weight: 9-10| J: T Eaves| T: Miss T Jackson
250/1
Slowly away, and failed to beat a single rival in two starts (5f-6f) in late 2018; absent since (609 days); can hold no conceivable chance on that basis.

Horse silk
16/1
Siyouni gelding (100,000gns vendor yearling); first foal from the 1m AW winner Dreamlike; mildly interesting to see how he figures in the market exchanges.

Horse silk
25/1
Muhaarar colt; essentially disappointing on the track to date; drops back in trip for his third start this calendar month; is clearly one of the lesser lights in the Oppenheimer silks.

Glen Forcep15
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-2| J: Ryan Tate| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR:  84| BF
10/11
Gleneagles colt (€160,000 yearling) with plenty of experience, and an official BHA rating in the mid 80's; finished runner-up for the third time in his career when a beaten odds-on favourite in an Ayr maiden (7f, good) 15 days ago.

Horse silk
33/1
€15,000 yearling; fourth foal from the 6f juvenile scorer Attracted To You; half-brother to two winners - War Glory (7f-1m, AW) & Restore (1m½f, Italy).
£4,000 yearling; €12,000 juvenile; fourth foal from the French winner Triveni (7f-1m2f); others make more appeal on pedigree.

Aoife's Joy
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-11| J: Jason Hart| T: M Walford
80/1
Elzaam filly (€7,500 yearling); second foal from the late developing mare Spavento (1m-1m1f); can be expected to need this initial introduction to racing.

Crown Court
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-11| J: P J McDonald| T: J Tate
12/1
Lawman filly (21,000gns yearling); dam was a once-raced half-sister to the US Gr2 winner Cowboy Cal (1m-1m1f); in safe hands with James Tate, and one to monitor closely in the market exchanges.

Wondrous Words25
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-11| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian
5/4
Lope De Vega filly from the Grp 3 winning juvenile Wonderfully (6f-7f); made a reasonably promising start to her racing career when finishing 6¼L third to First Kingdom at Haydock (1m, soft) 25 days ago - fifth-placed Shouldering a winner since.

Horse silk
Wrightia37
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-11| J: Ben Robinson| T: Ollie Pears
150/1
Mastercraftsman filly (25,000gns yearling); raced keenly in front until weak at the finish (from the two furlong pole) over 1m4f here (good) six weeks ago; the drop back in trip appears to be a wholly logical next step.

Forecasts

Glen Force (10/11), Wondrous Words (5/4), Crown Court (12/1), Bonneval (16/1), Divine Consent (25/1), Profit In Peace (33/1), Wether Fell (80/1), Aoife's Joy (80/1), Wrightia (150/1), Havana Bay (250/1)

19:00 Thirsk - 29 July 2020 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

The market exchanges could yield potential clues as to exactly what can be expected from the newcomers Bonneval (James Fanshawe) and Crown Court (James Tate), but both Glen Force and WONDROUS WORDS have a respectable level of form in the book. The former has an official rating in the mid 80's, so ought to be capable of winning a race of this nature, but the promise of an easy racing surface (over 1m) serves to swing things narrowly in the favour of the Roger Varian-trained runner.
