2.40 Thirsk (11 runners)
Download The Vickers.Bet App Fillies
Restricted Novice Stakes (GBB Race)
5f

Based on the given rankings and the additional comments provided, the top 3 contenders for the 2.40 Thirsk race seem to be:

1. Rocket Money: The ratings place Rocket Money at the top, with a total score of 442.1. The comments highlight that this horse has recently shown progress, winning its last outing at Beverley. The horse also carries prior experience at Thirsk, which could be advantageous. Furthermore, it’s noted that Rocket Money sets the benchmark for this race.
2. Bint Havana Grey: This horse has a solid total score of 398.0. The comments state that the horse showed promise during its debut at Newbury. Even though it faced a setback in its next race at Haydock, the drying conditions forecasted for this race might be in its favor. The change in trip distance presents an uncertainty, but the strong ranking suggests Bint Havana Grey remains a strong contender.
3. Reflexion Faite (FR): Ranking third in total score at 384.3, Reflexion Faite also has comments indicating improvement. The horse has shown a marked progression in its last race at Sandown, and it is deemed the pick of the Philippart De Foy pair for this race.

Fri 11th Aug 2023
2.50 Musselburgh (9 runners)
British EBF Ruby Anniversary Novice
Stakes (GBB Race)
5f

Based on the provided ratings and comments, here are the top 3 contenders for the 2.50 Musselburgh race:

1. Sankari (IRE):

• Rating: 485.1 (Highest in the list)
• Comments: Ran to a useful level when winning comfortably at Hamilton (5f, good) on the latest outing seven weeks ago and is now 2-5. Given this, the horse seems to have a proven form and is likely to be right in the thick of things again here.

1. Majestic Beauty:

• Rating: 471.9 (Second highest in the list)
• Comments: Bred for speed and justified odds-on favoritism when she was a clear-cut winner at the Catterick maiden (5f, good) in May. Although she has a penalty to carry in this deeper race, it’s hard to gauge the limit of her ability which might imply she has more to offer.

1. Mutasawi (IRE):

• Rating: 364.8 (Fourth highest, but the comments provide a strong case)
• Comments: Even though slightly disappointing when favorite for the second run, he was second over 5f on both starts either side of that. More recently, he was second in the Ripon maiden (good) three weeks ago. Given that he won’t be far away if in similar form here, and still has scope for improvement, he appears to be a solid contender.

While horses like Good Point and Cover Point also have decent ratings and comments, the above three seem to be the most probable based on a combination of their ratings and their form, as presented in the comments.

Fri 11th Aug 2023
3.10 Thirsk (9 runners)
Peter Bell Memorial Fillies Nursery
7f

Based on the provided ratings and the comments for each horse, here are the top 3 contenders for the 3.10 Thirsk race:

1. On Borrowed Time:

• Ratings: The highest-rated horse with a total of 506.2.
• Comments: Won on debut and then again on handicap debut beating Oceanic Wonder. She has a fine attitude, so a 4lb rise in her handicap mark doesn’t seem beyond her capabilities. Given the recent success and consistent performance, she stands out as a major contender in this race.

1. Lexington Belle (IRE):

• Ratings: Second highest-rated with a total of 329.1.
• Comments: Placed behind a stablemate on her second start, which indicates she has shown some potential. The addition of cheekpieces for the handicap debut might enhance her performance. She might have found the Class 2 at Newmarket too tough but drops back in class here, which could suit her better.

1. Louella (IRE):

• Ratings: 299.0, placing her in the mid-range among the contenders.
• Comments: She showed improvement in her latest run when running on late into third on her handicap debut at this same course, suggesting she’s getting to grips with racing. The step up to 7f looks a smart move given how she finished last time, and she could offer some value at her odds.

While Kaaress and Koji also have decent ratings and comments suggesting potential, I’ve based the top 3 on a combination of ratings and the narrative provided for each horse.

Fri 11th Aug 2023 3.20 Musselburgh (14 runners) Stobo Castle Ladies Day Gold Cup Handicap 1m6f

From the information provided, I would use both the rankings (totals) and the individual horse comments to analyze and identify the top contenders.

1. Glasses Up (USA) – Total: 450.7

• Comments: Versatile 8yo who collected a good prize over C&D (good) in 2021 and capitalised upon a much reduced mark when making all at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft; refitted cheekpieces) on Monday; effectively only 3lb higher under penalty here; ought to make his presence felt again.
• The highest rated horse in the lineup.
• Previous win over C&D and recent success.
• Only slightly penalized for his recent win, and is expected to perform well.

2. Tafsir (USA) – Total: 412.4

• Comments: In-form filly who opened account here (1m4f, good) last month and followed up at Hamilton (1m5f, good to soft) a fortnight later; denied clear run and forced to angle across track when second off this mark on Tapeta last week; runs here before latest 2lb rise takes effect; tries a new trip; could still have more to offer.
• Has shown good form recently with two victories.
• Experienced some interference in her last race but still managed to place second.
• Racing before a 2lb weight increase, which could be beneficial.
• Trying a new distance, which suggests there’s potential for improvement.

3. Marbuzet – Total: 376.4

• Comments: Creditable second of 14 at Doncaster (2m, good) last month and has now been placed on his last four appearances; recent 2lb rise doesn’t help but today’s drop back in trip won’t be a problem; probably in the mix again.
• Consistent form with four recent placings.
• The distance reduction should suit based on the comments.
• Despite the weight increase, the horse’s recent form suggests it can be competitive.

Fri 11th Aug 2023
4.40 Thirsk (15 runners)
JW 4×4 Northallerton Handicap
6f 

Using the rankings provided along with the comments, here are the top three contenders for the 4.40 Thirsk:

1. Moulin Booj (IRE)

• Ranking Total: 442.8
• Comment: Ready winner of a 5f handicap at Wolverhampton one week ago; beaten at odds-on at Ffos Las on Tuesday (5f, heavy); returning to 6f shouldn’t be a problem and he’s still capable of better. The horse has the highest rating and appears to be in decent form. The comment suggests that the return to 6f will suit him and he has potential for further improvement.

1. Spirit In My Soul (IRE)

• Ranking Total: 378.3
• Comment: 0-11 when trained by Adrian Nicholls, failing to build on her early promise; fitted with blinkers for her stable debut at Redcar seven weeks ago (6f, good) and she produced a strong finish to put her head in front on the finishing line; 3lb higher but last season’s best offers hope that she will be up to the task. This horse has a solid ranking, and the comment is particularly optimistic. She’s demonstrated she can put in a strong finish, which could be crucial in a competitive race.

1. Howyadoin (IRE)

• Ranking Total: 318.8
• Comment: 0-15 for Tim Easterby but has shown promise, including when a close third over C&D last month (good to firm); changed hands for 7,500gns one week later; not ruled out on first run for a yard that does well with this type. Although this horse hasn’t managed to secure a win recently, the comment highlights promise and a good recent performance over the same course and distance.

Fri 11th Aug 2023
4.55 Wexford (11 runners)
Think Print & Design Maiden Hurdle
2m½f

Based on the provided rankings and comments for the runners in the 4.55 Wexford race, here are the top three contenders:

1. River Tara (IRE)

• Ranking: Highest total ranking at 445.5.
• Comments: Was beaten by just half a length on yard debut and then went on to confirm that promise by winning a Downpatrick bumper by 8 lengths in June. Has a useful jumps pedigree and shows potential for further progress on its hurdle debut.

1. Dutch Schultz

• Ranking: Second-highest total at 385.4.
• Comments: This horse has experience, being a dual flat winner, and has shown consistent performances in eight starts over timber without claiming a win. Though versatile in varying conditions, Dutch Schultz may find it challenging against horses he’s conceding weight to, especially if they are up and coming talents.

1. Duleek Street (IRE)

• Ranking: Fourth highest total at 280.7, but the comments seem more favorable compared to “Dark Image.”
• Comments: Has shown two solid runs in maiden hurdles at Downpatrick. Even though there was a struggle on the flat last time, this new trip over timber might be suitable.

Fri 11th Aug 2023
5.10 Thirsk (14 runners)
Sausage & Cider Evening Friday 18th August Handicap
1m4f

Using the provided data and the comments for each horse, here’s a breakdown of the top 3 contenders for the 5.10 Thirsk race:

1. Ghostly:

• Ranking: The horse has the highest total score of 403.5, which is a considerable margin above the rest.
• Comments: Ghostly recently had a success in a Wolverhampton race and escapes a penalty for it. The horse is also stated to be suited by the day’s trip-and-surface combination, making it a strong contender.

1. Angel On High (IRE):

• Ranking: This horse has a high score of 311.4, ranking it 4th in the provided list.
• Comments: Despite not winning since its 3yo novice win, the comment suggests that Angel On High has shown significant promise in recent races, especially at Leicester. Furthermore, the horse seems ready to take advantage of some leniencies from the handicapper.

1. Prince Achille:

• Ranking: With a total score of 314.5, Prince Achille is 3rd on the list.
• Comments: This horse has recently secured a win at Carlisle and has also been placed in its other two races this season, making it a consistent performer. The comment also suggests that the horse will likely be in the thick of things, indicating a strong performance expectation.

Close contenders like Jamih and Lechro also have notable scores and positive comments, but based on the total scores and the information provided, Ghostly, Angel On High, and Prince Achille are the top 3 picks for the race.

Fri 11th Aug 2023 5.30 Wexford (12 runners) Traynors Of Wexford Dulux Heritage Handicap Hurdle (80-102) 2m4½f

Based on the provided ratings, combined with the horse comments, here are my top 3 contenders for the 5.30 Wexford race:

1. Florey Spud (IRE)
   • Rating: 309.2
   • Comment: An 18-race maiden but went close at Sligo and almost won here on his penultimate start. His form dipped last time at Ballinrobe, but all his best performances have been on good ground, which matches the current conditions.
2. Navigator Jack (IRE)
   • Rating: 276.3
   • Comment: This horse won a handicap hurdle at Listowel and has shown consistency since. Although he might not be on the best handicap mark and was a beaten favorite last time at Killarney, he still has each-way claims based on his consistency.
3. Emily In Paris (IRE)
   • Rating: 268.5 (Though she’s a second reserve, if she gets to run)
   • Comment: Recently secured a victory in a maiden hurdle and appears well-handicapped in this race. If she does get to run, her current form suggests she could be a strong contender.

A special mention to Star Official (IRE) who is 0-6 over hurdles but delivered a career-best as a runner-up last time out, suggesting he could be a dark horse in the race if stepping up in trip suits him.

Fri 11th Aug 2023
5.50 Tipperary (12 runners)
Coast To Curragh Charity Cycle On 26th August Handicap
5f

Based on the provided ratings, odds, and comments, here are my top 3 contenders for the 5.50 Tipperary race:

1. So Majestic (IRE):

• Total Rating: 409.4
• Comments: Showed rapid improvement earlier this season, securing two 5f handicaps in quick succession in June. Though there was a setback at Cork due to the 19lb rise, this horse has shown significant promise and could be in contention if returning to previous form.

1. Tamazu (IRE):

• Total Rating: 318.6
• Comments: Managed a surprising 100-1 win at the same course and distance a year ago. After a few challenging races, he made a notable comeback with a strong second in a Down Royal handicap, beaten only by 0.5l. With just a 5lb increase, Tamazu has strong potential and claims in this race.

1. Spirit Of Eagles (IRE):

• Total Rating: 292.1
• Comments: Displayed readiness to move on from the maiden status with a third-place at Down Royal behind So Majestic and then secured a win two weeks later. With Art Of Unity close behind, Spirit Of Eagles’ recent form suggests a strong chance, even though the 7lb rise and soft ground could be concerns.

Fri 11th Aug 2023
6.05 Wexford (12 runners)
Country Fest Wexford Sunday 13th
August Handicap Hurdle (80-95)
3m

Using the provided ratings and the horses’ comments, here are the top 3 contenders for the 6.05 Wexford:

1. Jesina (IRE)

• Rating: 310.0
• Comments: Jesina was rewarded for her recent consistency when winning a Ballinrobe handicap over 2m5f last time. This trip is expected to be fine for her, but she has been raised 7lb for her recent victory. Despite this, she remains a top contender with major claims.

1. Ocean Legacy (IRE)

• Rating: 292.1
• Comments: Ocean Legacy is a dual chase winner but remains a maiden over hurdles. She was beaten 15l off this mark at Roscommon in her last outing. While she needs to find some improvement, her ratings position her as a strong contender.

1. Tango Theatre (IRE)

• Rating: 257.4
• Comments: Tango Theatre is yet to secure a victory after 15 hurdle starts, but he has shown solid form over 2m6f and 3m in his last two races. Racing off an unchanged mark, he has a good chance of being involved and is one to watch.

Fri 11th Aug 2023
6.50 Haydock (8 runners)
Cheshire Life And Lancashire Life Fillies Handicap
6f

Based on the provided rankings and comments, the following horses seem to have the best prospects:

1. Couplet:

• Is unexposed in handicaps and comes across as a promising contender.

1. First Of May:

• Total ranking of 444.5.
• Showed promise on her debut and secured two wins on the all-weather track.
• The only concern is her effectiveness on turf, but if she can adapt to better ground, she might come back into her form.

• After a narrow loss on debut, he secured a win at Killarney.
• The comments indicate he has potential for continuous progression as he faces tougher competition.

Fri 11th Aug 2023 7.10 Newmarket (July) (10 runners) Maritime Cargo Services Outperforming The Opposition Handicap 1m2f

Based on the provided rankings and comments, the top 3 contenders for the race appear to be:

1. Kingori (USA):

• Highest total ranking of 486.5.
• Has shown success on the AW, and while all of his races have been there, his last race was particularly promising when stepping up to 1m2f.
• The main question is his adaptability on turf, but if he replicates his AW form, he could be a significant threat.

1. Finest Leader (IRE):

• A close second in the rankings with a total of 473.1.
• Demonstrated a turnaround in performance with cheekpieces and at 1m2f.
• Though he has climbed the weights, the comments suggest he could still have more to offer, especially given his recent form.

1. Tarbaan (IRE):

• Total ranking of 422.7.
• Has achieved a win on turf, although the comment indicates he may be better on the AW.
• The cheekpieces are returning, and while he’s seen as a bit of a risk right now, his ranking and past performances make him a contender worth considering.

Other horses like Palamon and First Officer have positive comments that suggest potential, but when combining both the ranking and commentary, Kingori, Finest Leader, and Tarbaan seem to be the primary contenders for this race.

Fri 11th Aug 2023 7.15 Wexford (11 runners) Elevate Financial Planning Opportunity Handicap Chase 2m4f

To arrive at a top three contenders for the 7.15 Wexford race, I’ll consider both the ratings provided as well as the comments on each horse. Here’s a breakdown:

1. Iridescent (IRE)

• Rating: Highest total rating of 328.6.
• Comments: It had a best hurdle effort when winning off 95 at Ballinrobe in May and posted a career-best chase success. There are concerns about the distance being on the sharp side for this horse, but its high rating can’t be ignored.

1. Top Line Tommy (IRE)

• Rating: Third highest total rating at 270.7.
• Comments: Improved from its return to win a beginners’ race at Tramore in June and performed similarly well as runner-up in a handicap. Though its recent performance over hurdles wasn’t as strong, it seems better-suited for chasing and is on a reasonable mark.

1. Downtown Queen (IRE)

• Rating: Second highest total rating at 276.8.
• Comments: This horse won back-to-back races over timber last year, which is commendable. However, there are concerns about her current form as she hasn’t been at the same level since those victories. She’s been tailed off on her chase debut this season but showed some improvement in her next run. Her opening chase mark may demand more, but given her relatively high rating, she might still be a contender.

Dark Horse Mention: Le Malin (FR)

• Though this horse has a relatively lower total rating of 169.4, the comments suggest a notable past with wins over hurdles in France and a strong race behind Billaway in February. The potential concern is the drop back in trip after a lengthy absence.

Fri 11th Aug 2023
8.00 Haydock (10 runners)
British EBF Restricted Maiden Fillies
Stakes (GBB Race)
7f

Using the provided rankings and horse comments, I’ll analyze the 10 runners to provide the top 3 contenders:

1. Beveragino (IRE)

• Ranking: 1st with a total of 429.8
• Comments: Noted to have the best form in the field despite being a beaten favorite in the last two starts. It was placed in its first two outings, which is indicative of its potential. Given this, Beveragino is clearly a strong contender.

1. Sphinx Of Naxos (IRE)

• Ranking: 4th with a total of 236.4
• Comments: While it hasn’t raced before, it comes from a talented family. Additionally, the trainer has an impressive strike rate of 36% with 2yos at this track in recent seasons. The pedigree and the in-form trainer indicate that Sphinx Of Naxos should be considered a top contender.

1. Sovereign Queen

• Ranking: 7th with a total of 165.8
• Comments: The pedigree is compelling, being a half-sister to several winners, including one with an RPR of 95. The dam also has a winning record. Given the pedigree, it would be prudent to check the market for any potential movements that suggest confidence from the betting public.

Summary:

1. Beveragino (IRE)
2. Sphinx Of Naxos (IRE)
3. Sovereign Queen

Fri 11th Aug 2023
8.20 Newmarket (July) (11 runners)

1. Equiano Springs:

• Ranking: Highest total score of 482.9.

1. Flying Secret:

• Ranking: Second-highest total score of 454.1.
• Comments: Has had two wins over 7f in his last four starts. The horse remains on a good mark and has always seemed quick enough for 6f. It’s indicated that he might’ve found conditions too soft in his last race, suggesting that this ground could be more to his liking.

1. Lady Dreamer (IRE):

• Ranking: Fifth in total score but with a commendable 416.0.
• Comments: She’s described as consistent and has performed well recently, overcoming difficulties in a previous race. Given her previous performance with a 6f novice win at Windsor, and if she gets away on terms (which she usually does), she poses a significant threat off the same mark.

Fri 11th Aug 2023
8.35 Haydock (4 runners)
Visit racingtv.com Fillies Handicap
7f

Based on the provided rankings and the comments for each horse, here are the top 3 contenders for the 8.35 Haydock race:

1. Diamond Vega:

• Ranking: Highest total score of 571.8.
• Comments: Won on a heavy ground here previously and succeeded again in her second handicap at Catterick recently. She has the potential to handle a 6lb rise in weights, and the track conditions seem to suit her based on her past performances.

1. Unequal Love:

• Ranking: Third-highest total score but a notable 450.5.
• Comments: She recently won at Leicester and followed up with another win at Ripon. Both races showcased her prowess, with her seeming to have some potential left in the tank. She’s entering this race with potential to perform well above her current mark.

1. Jill Rose:

• Ranking: Fourth in total but deserves consideration due to her score of 374.8 and the insights from the comments.
• Comments: She’s a previous winner of this race when the ground was similar (good to soft). Recently, she showcased her form with a close third at Thirsk. While she’s an older contender in this race, her past performances on similar grounds make her a horse worth considering.

This analysis provides a guide based on the ratings and the comments provided. Horse racing outcomes can be unpredictable due to a myriad of factors, so it’s always recommended to consider multiple sources of information and expert insights when making betting decisions.
