British EBF Michael Foster Conditions Stakes - Thirsk

Poet Master

J: S H James T: K R Burke
Race Winner
79/50

Reason for Tip

Poet Master is now a six year old but is a talented horse and won at group 2 level as a four year old. Went close in a group 3 at Longchamp last September and wasn’t far away at all when second in the group 2 challenge at Newmarket when last seen in October. Can go very well fresh and so it’s not an obvious concern, won first time out in 2023 and 2024 and this looks a race where that trend returns. It’s a relatively weak class 3 and Poet Master if on song will be a cut above this lot and should win. Yard in good form and have a decent record here at Thirsk. Poet Master should be winning this from a solid ride under Sam James.

⭐ NAP of the Day – Explosion at Chelmsford

Explosion – 4.18 Chelmsford – 6/5
Trainer: Charlie Johnston
Jockey: Silvestre De Sousa

Our NAP of the Day runs at Chelmsford in the 4.18 with Explosion.

This progressive youngster has already shown promise with two placed efforts before breaking through with an impressive win at Windsor last time. That was a hotly contested maiden, and the form looks solid.

Explosion makes his polytrack debut here, but there’s nothing in the pedigree or preparation to suggest that will be a negative. With just three runners in the race, he looks by far the most unexposed, open to stacks of improvement now switched to nursery company.

👉 Why Explosion is today’s NAP: Improving profile, strong yard/jockey combination, and the most progressive type in a weak field.

Hitman

J: Freddie Gingell T: P F Nicholls
Race Winner
69/1

Reason for Tip

Massively field in this renewal and with a lot of bookies paying 6 places, there is some good value to be found. One who looks more capable than he’s shown of late is ten year old Hitman from the Nicholls yard. A very strong horse in his day and still able to contest with the likes of this field as he shown last October in the Old Roan when winning over a similar trip and on this ground. Below par at Huntingdon and Ascot the last twice but the return to Aintree may bring with it a revival as he has a great record over fences here and conditions are nicely suited. Remains capable and from a good yard with a good stable jockey aboard in Freddie Gingell. Freddie having a brilliant year and is on a 34% strikerate in the last month. Hitman is a massive price, but capable of running into the places at a big price here.

🎯 Dark Horse Racing Tips – Tsuki at Ayr

Tsuki – 3.15 Ayr – 9/1
Trainer: Jim Goldie
Jockey: Paul Mulrennan

Our Dark Horse selection runs in the 3.15 at Ayr with Tsuki.

This filly began her career with William Haggas, winning a Class 4 maiden at Goodwood before running respectably in two more races. Since then she has switched to the Jim Goldie yard, and this is her first run for her new trainer.

She makes her handicap debut here, and while there is a break to overcome, her past performances suggest she has more to give. The Goldie/Mulrennan partnership has an excellent strike rate at Ayr, and if Tsuki is fit and ready to go, she could surprise at a nice price.

👉 Why Tsuki is today’s Dark Horse: Course/trainer angle, first run in a handicap, proven talent, and value odds.

Mobile Mamma

J: Jamie Hamilton T: Ruth Jefferson
Race Winner
5/2

Reason for Tip

Small field race here and one who looks set for a big run is Mobile Mamma from the Jefferson yard. Won nicely at Newcastle two starts ago and then was well beaten subsequently lto at the same track. Back to the same she won off at Newcastle and has to be taken seriously. Had been off for nearly year when returning in Feb and has only had three runs since so is likely to be fully fit and primed now. Does go up in trip today which is a slight question mark but on the good ground is likely to stay and does have stayers in her pedigree. This isn’t a very strong race and yard have a good record here with a 38% strikerate and she has an inform jockey aboard in Jamie Hamilton. If she stays, has a fantastic chance.

Travis

J: D Allan T: G A Harker
Race Winner
7/1

Reason for Tip

Bit vulnerable in the sense he’s only won twice from 30 starts but has been running consistently well on the AW recently with form of 2322 all at Newcastle Returns to turf today which is not a problem, won over this trip at this track last summer and should come on from the returning second place lto after a break. Does have a wide draw which isn’t overly ideal but remains on a very workable mark and is capable of featuring today. Ground is fine and has a decent jockey aboard in David Allan. There is vulnerabilities across the field today and Travis has shown solid form of late and so he’s taken to produce a big run and return to winning ways.

Johnny's Jury

J: J J Burke T: Jamie Snowden
Race Winner
21/5

Reason for Tip

Sefton Novices’ time and the one to beat looks to be Johnny’s Jury from the Snowden yard. Has been flawless in three starts for this yard and completed his hattrick in the Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham last month. That was an impressive win from out of the back and he clearly has a fantastic engine and a very strong stayer. This is a sharper track and does require a little bit less than Cheltenham but he will stay and with good timing from J J, will be strong again in the finish in all likelihood. Ground is ideal and he’s not put a foot wrong so far this year and so he’s taken to win again today. Yard in great form and have a strong 22% record at Aintree. Big chance and likely winner.

Papa Cocktail

J: Callum Rodriguez T: M Herrington
Race Winner
6/1

Reason for Tip

Wide open race here and Papa Cocktail looks set for a big run today. Won back in January over C&D and has not been disgraced on the two runs since from higher mark in higher grade. Drops back to a mark of 79 today which is definitely not insurmountable and the draw in stall 2 is only further opportunity here. Like to sit slightly off the pace and challenge late as he did in his winning run and this race looks very winnable for this boy. Yard in good form and so is Callum Rodriguez. Callum has won 44% of rides in the last two weeks and is a very solid booking right now. Big chance for Papa Cocktail to return to winning ways today.
