Thirsk

Friday, August 29, 2025FlatClass 27f

This could go the way of FINE INTERVIEW, who shaped well when fifth in a big-field handicap at Goodwood last month having been forced to switch around 2f out. He can build on that effort with more still to offer at 7f, so he gets the vote ahead of Strong Warrior who drops in grade after finishing mid-field at Royal Ascot last time. Bobby Bennu and Sixtygeesbaby complete the shortlist.

    Verdict
    Successful 3 times last year, including at this C&D. Good second at Haydock in July, before doing too much too soon when fifth of 7 in handicap at Chester (7f, firm, 2/1) 26 days ago. No surprise to see him bounce back here.

    Verdict
    C&D winner last year and, with reappearance behind him, ran well when fourth of 13 at Chester in May. Hasn't built on that in 2 subsequent outings, though, fifth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 16/1) 62 days ago.

    Verdict
    Gained reward for consistency this year when winning at Doncaster in July and has continued in good heart since, fourth of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good, 5/1) 2 weeks ago. Could be in the mix once more.

    Verdict

    Verdict
    Three-time winner last season and, after a couple of below-par efforts, shaped well when fifth of 20 in handicap at Goodwood (7f, good, 20/1) 30 days ago. Has to be taken seriously in first-time cheekpieces.

    C&D winner whose latest success came when making all at Haydock in July. Ran at least as well when 2 lengths third of 13 to Rhythm Master in handicap at this C&D (good, 5/2) 27 days ago and he can make another bold bid.

    Thirteen runs since last win in 2023 but showed more than on reappearance when fourth of 7 in handicap at Chester (7f, firm, 5/1) 26 days ago, doing a bit too much in front. Still needs to fully prove himself at this trip.
