Verdict

A race which features a plethora of horses with past C&D winning form, so in theory we could see a surprise result with a number of those Thirsk specialists out of form at other tracks. That said; the 2017 winner The Armed Man is in decent form at present and should be on the premises from a handy draw in stall 14 given his prominent style of racing, whilst the last time out winners Madrinho (unpenalised) and Breaking Records also merit serious consideration. However, we'll take a chance on the top-weight KING ROBERT; he's run well twice at this track in the past, has a decent draw (13), and drops into a Class 4 handicap for the first time ever.
  1. King Robert
  2. Madrinho
  3. The Armed Man
