6:40 Thirsk Going Good / Distance - 0m 6f

Pool Value: £22732.35

David O'Meara won both divisions of this contest in 2024 and his veteran Muscika is impossible to rule out after shaping better than the bare result last time. However, the best days for MUSICAL TOUCH (nap) are probably ahead of him and he's taken to maintain his progress with a winning reappearance. Filly One is also unexposed and she'll be dangerous if handling this different surface. The well-handicapped Naval Academy is also respected but perhaps the main threat will come from Bell Shot, for whom this drop back in distance looks a positive.[Richard O'Brien]

No.	Selection	Form		Guide	ToteWin	TotePlace
1 (5)	Musical Touch O J Orr / R A Fahey	4yrs / 9st 9lb /3341- Spotlight	76	11/4	2.80	1.60
Musical Touch Lightly raced 4yo; much improved form for first win at Wolverhampton (6f) in October; shaped well on only encounter with good to firm ground; still unexposed and tops the list.
2 (9)	Bell Shot Alistair Rawlinson / M Appleby	6yrs / 9st 7lb 634-25 Spotlight	91	7/2	3.90	1.80
Bell Shot Prominent racer; mostly campaigned for current yard over 7f, going down narrowly at Kempton on last two starts; at least as effective on turf and looks well worth a try back at 6f; should be in the thick of things again.
3 (3)	Filly One P J McDonald / G R Oldroyd	4yrs / 9st 6lb 1/6-05 Spotlight		15/2	12.90	2.60
Filly One Looked useful prospect when winning both starts at Newcastle (6f) in 2023 and she ran her best race since when a staying-on fifth over 5f there three weeks ago; still has untapped potential and should be suited by this step back up in distance; interesting if handling the surface on turf debut.
4 (10)	Ingleby Archie J Garritty / Adrian Nicholls	4yrs / 9st 5lb 71158- Spotlight	87	6/1	6.40	2.30
Ingleby Archie 2-5 in handicaps, wins coming from front over 5f (including here); never a factor when last seen at Ripon nearly eight months ago; possibilities if ready to roll on reappearance but may be better at minimum trip.
5 (7)	Milbanke D Nolan / P T Midgley	6yrs / 9st 5lb 3/47-0 Spotlight	68	16/1	22.20	4.90
Milbanke Has had several trainers over the years, winning handicaps over 7f for Ruth Carr and 6f for Julie Camacho; last of 12 on debut for Paul Midgley three weeks ago and may need another run or two before he's of interest.
6 (6)	Bay Breeze D Allan / T D Easterby	6yrs / 9st 4lb 63716- Spotlight	89	15/2	10.20	2.70
Bay Breeze Capitalised on a drop in the weights when rallying to win at Nottingham (6f, soft) in October; handles quick ground too but he's been well held on his last two reappearances and may need today's run.
7 (2)	Muscika Mark Winn / D O'Meara	11yrs / 9st 4lb -13326 Spotlight	91	8/1	9.10	2.00
Muscika Veteran who retains plenty of vim and vigour; faded after helping force strong pace when sixth at Wolverhampton last time; has won here three times and his trainer took both divisions of this contest in 2024; not ruled out.
8 (8)	Roundhay Park Faye McManoman / N Tinkler	10yrs / 9st 3lb 49859- Spotlight	95	18/1	19.10	3.30
Roundhay Park 12-time winner but failed to score in 2024 and he's been unplaced on all three runs at Thirsk; no great record first time out; opposable.
9 (4)	Travis S H James / G A Harker	4yrs / 8st 13lb 50077- Spotlight	96	16/1	17.10	4.10
Travis Won over this trip at Pontefract last summer for George Boughey but mostly well below par for current stable; becoming well handicapped but probably best watched after five months off unless strong in the market.
10 (1)	Naval Academy Cam Hardie / M Walford	5yrs / 8st 10lb 70798- Spotlight	94	20/1	24.90	5.40
Naval Academy Went off the boil in 2024 after winning at Haydock (7f, good) in July, but as a result he begins this season on a 6lb lower mark; soft ground might have been against him on last two starts; wasn't disgraced on only attempt at 6f in Britain and he's not discounted.
