15/8
Promising sort. Much improved when scoring at Windsor (8.1f) last month and followed up with the minimum of fuss over the same C&D (soft) 10 days ago. 6 lb penalty may not prevent the hat-trick.

8/1
Fifth of 8 in handicap (8/1) at Redcar (10f, heavy) 24 days ago. Back down in trip. Others look better treated.

11/4
Upped his game when making a winning handicap debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 16 days ago. 3 lb rise fair and will be a big player if reproducing that form on turf.

14/1
Thrice-raced maiden. 14/1, seventh of 11 in minor event at this course (7f, soft). Off 8 months. Improvement required on handicap debut.

7/2
Lightly-raced maiden. 9/2, first run since leaving Richard Hannon when good third of 12 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Entitled to build on that.

Still looking for first success but posted creditable second of 4 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, soft) on return 12 days ago, albeit flattered by proximity to winner. Not out of things.

20:10 Thirsk - 11 May 2023 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

SPARKS FLY has looked a different proposition since upped in trip and switched to turf. She should take the beating here. Hale End made a good start for his new yard at Beverley last month and is feared most.
