Weatherbys Racing Bank Handicap - Thirsk

York Tower

J: Tom Marquand T: WIlliam Haggas
Race Winner
15/8

Reason for Tip

York Tower has a superb opportunity to show his true quality as he steps down in class for the 3.40 at Thirsk. Trained by William Haggas and ridden by top jockey Tom Marquand, this 3yo gelding by Call To Mind is highly unexposed after just four lifetime runs. He ran with massive credit on his handicap debut at Epsom 25 days ago, finishing a respectable fourth in a much tougher Class 2 event over ten furlongs. Stepping down to Class 4 company today will make life significantly easier, and the move up to a stiff mile and a half is expected to suit his pedigree perfectly. In a highly competitive and compact five runner field, he should thrive on the sounder turf and find the race dynamics much more to his liking, making him a major player to bounce back and secure a first career win.

⭐ NAP of the Day

Return Of The Gods (6.30 Wolverhampton) – 15/8

Trainer: Ed Bethell
Jockey: Callum Rodriguez

Two-year-old Return Of The Gods was a £350,000 yearling and showed serious promise on debut here at Wolverhampton when finishing a close third in a big field. The Bethell yard’s youngsters often take a big step forward on their second start, and he looks perfectly placed to do just that tonight.

This isn’t a strong race — the main threats look limited — and the track experience will be a major plus. Rodriguez retains the ride and boasts a strong 20% win rate when combining with the Bethells at this course. Everything looks set for him to deliver on that expensive price tag and get off the mark here.

💬 TipMan’s Verdict: Second start, perfect draw, proven ability — this looks the winner.

Star Of Atlantis

J: D Egan T: A Wintle
Race Winner
11/1

Reason for Tip

The progressive Star Of Atlantis is a highly dangerous and incredibly well treated contender in the 7.43 at Bath on Wednesday evening. Trained by Adrian Wintle, this mare by Starspangledbanner took a positive step back in the right direction on her latest start when finishing a close fourth of ten over seven furlongs at Wolverhampton. She switches back to turf in this Class 6 classified stakes, which represents a massive drop in grade and a highly winnable opportunity in this sphere. Crucially, she loves the fast summer ground at Bath, having finished a close second on firm ground over course and distance last summer. With the Group 1 winning jockey David Egan booked to ride, she is extremely well placed to capitalize on this drop in class and is fully primed to run a massive, highly competitive race on a surface she absolutely relishes this evening and is more than capable of outrunning her odds.

🎯 Dark Horse

Connie’s Rose (4.25 Bath) – 14/1

Trainer: Grace Harris
Jockey: Rossa Ryan

A proven mare who knows how to win, Connie’s Rose has 10 career victories and strong course form at Bath. Her mark has dropped slightly after a couple of tougher runs, and she’s now well-weighted to strike again in what looks a weaker race than recent assignments.

With Rossa Ryan booked — a jockey with a 25% strike rate for the Harris yard — this could be the day she bounces back to form. Big value each-way.

💬 TipMan’s Verdict: Course specialist with top jockey up — excellent each-way play.

Location Location

J: Kaiya Fraser T: J R Fanshawe
Race Winner
7/1

Reason for Tip

Location Location is an intriguing contender as he lines up in the 1.08 at Thirsk on Wednesday. Trained by the astute James Fanshawe, this 2yo gelding by Harry Angel has shown plenty of early promise in his two starts to date. After a running-on fifth on his debut at Kempton, he built on that effort to finish a solid third of six at Hamilton over six furlongs. On that occasion, he raced too keenly mid-race, meaning there is likely much more to come now that his greenness is wearing off. Crucially, a first-time hood is applied today, which should help him settle and conserve energy under jockey Kaiya Fraser. Dropping into Class 5 restricted novice company and running on the expected good-to-firm ground, this speed bred youngster possesses excellent physical and pedigree credentials to take a major step forward and strongly challenge for what would be a well-deserved first career victory.

Drombeg Lad

J: Kielan Woods T: A M Hales
Race Winner
11/2

Reason for Tip

Drombeg Lad brings highly consistent and solid jump form into the 3.25 Worcester on Wednesday afternoon. Trained by Alex Hales, the gelding by Linda’s Lad has hit the frame in four of his five lifetime starts. He boasts a fine track record at this venue, having finished runner-up on his bumper debut and third over hurdles last summer. Following a 284-day absence, he returned with a highly encouraging fourth over course and distance on good to soft ground three weeks ago. Although he ran too freely and faded late in that comeback, he is sure to be much sharper and fitter for that crucial run. Back on preferred good ground and reunited with the capable jockey Kielan Woods, Drombeg Lad is an exceptionally seasoned and talented performer who looks fully primed to run a big race and finally break his maiden tag over hurdles in this highly competitive contest tomorrow afternoon.

Harry's Pop

J: Luke Morris T: Dylan Cunha
Race Winner
6/1

Reason for Tip

Harry’s Pop represents an exciting and highly progressive option in the 6.33 at Bath on Wednesday evening. Trained by the highly in form Dylan Cunha, the speed bred colt by Harry Angel showed significant improvement on his second start. Dropped into a valuable Class 2 novice at Chester, he stayed on strongly to finish a highly respectable fourth of nine on soft ground. That performance demonstrated that he is rapidly learning his job, and now dropping back down to Class 5 restricted novice company looks like an excellent move. Experienced jockey Luke Morris takes the winning mount, which is undoubtedly a major positive for his overall chances of securing victory. Back on the sounder, fast surface (Firm) that Bath is famous for, this talented and sharp youngster looks exceptionally well-placed to continue his upward trajectory and mount a very serious challenge for the winner’s enclosure this evening as a leading player.

Alma Latina

J: H Crouch T: R M Beckett
Race Winner
15/8

Reason for Tip

Alma Latina stands out as the one to beat as she makes her highly anticipated handicap debut in the 6.57 at Epsom on Wednesday. Owned by Miss Kirsten Rausing and trained by the excellent Ralph Beckett, this 3yo filly by Study Of Man has been highly progressive, registering excellent form figures of 321. She got off the mark in fine style last time out, comfortably winning a ten furlong Pontefract maiden by over three comfortable lengths. An opening handicap mark of 82 looks remarkably lenient, especially given that the high-quality rivals who beat her on her first two starts are now competing at black-type level. Stepping up to a stiff mile and a half should perfectly suit her stamina-laden pedigree. Ridden by the capable Hector Crouch, she has all the credentials of a high class filly who is poised to continue her development and follow up her maiden victory in style.
