16:45 Thirsk — Sky Bet Club Handicap model predictions

Spring Is Sprung (FR)

0%

Strike-rate of 8-34 includes five turf wins; seventh behind Vantheman at Hamilton 14 days ago but moved well for a long way before fading late on.

Far Above The Law (IRE)

0%

Did well over 6f for Alice Haynes and coped fine with the drop back to 5f at Ascot where he was prominent throughout and prevailed by just over a length; this 6lb higher mark isn't beyond him.

I'm Next (GB)

0%

Dropped away in a Class 2 at York last time but had previously looked a 4yo on the upgrade and remains on a competitive mark; makes the shortlist.

Changeofmind (IRE)

0%

Up in grade after winning a Class 5 at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) but had dropped to a tempting mark; wouldn't count the 6lb rise against him.

Copper Knight (IRE)

0%

Grand old veteran who can be forgiven his defeat in a Class 2 at York last time, having won at this level the time before at Beverley (2lb lower); had 119 races and yet this is his first visit here.

Kinetic Force (GB)

0%

Has made a good start for Ruth Carr and emerged from midfield to edge home over C&D a month ago; on that run and past exploits, he remains on a useful mark up 4lb.

Al Hussar (GB)

0%

Running well over 5f before another respectable show over 6f at York last week; little margin for error off this mark but remains in good nick.

Mon Na Slieve (IRE)

0%

Inconsistent front-runner but was close up behind Vantheman at Hamilton and this flatter track could suit better; respected.

King's Call (IRE)

0%

Eighth of 24 in a 5f handicap at Royal Ascot last season but he's finished out the back in his subsequent runs; bit risky.

Montezuma (GB)

0%

Competitive over 5f at Musselburgh this spring and wasn't at his best at Hamilton two weeks ago (6f); capable of bouncing back.

Vince L'Amour (IRE)

0%

Recent Ripon winner but poor on either side of that and he has become hard to predict.

Mondammej (GB)

0%

Veteran with a mind of his own and refused to leave the parade ring on last intended start in November; however, perfectly capable of a big run off this mark and he's gone well fresh in the past.

Muker (IRE)

0%

Multiple winner, including here; quiet this season but it was the same last campaign before he won on his third outing; handy mark.

American Bay (GB)

0%

One of his two wins came over C&D and was a close fifth here a month ago, backing up two good runs on the AW; possibilities, especially should the new cheekpieces give him a lift.

Acrisius (GB)

0%

Won off 4lb lower at Chester (5f, good) last July and perhaps unsuited by softer going in two starts since; only had 12 races and couldn't dismiss.

Equity Law (GB)

0%

Useful mark and was bang there in Kinetic Force's race here earlier this month; below that level back here 15 days ago but again he travelled well for a long way and he's still in good form.

Woohoo (IRE)

0%

Fifth career win when beating seven rivals at Musselburgh (5f, good) and she got behind before staying on in Vantheman's race at Hamilton; drawn on the wing but has a big run in her.
