15:30 Thirsk — Moody Construction Handicap model predictions

Taygar

0%

4-30; rated 5lb lower than when last successful at Ayr (6f, good to soft) last July; has been knocking on the door lately, runner-up on last two starts, including under Paul Mulrennan at Ayr; should have a positive role to play.

Sherlock (IRE)

0%

Made the breakthrough at Newcastle (5f) in February and fairly consistent since; couldn't master Yes I'm Mali over C&D (runner-up; 18-1) on penultimate start and boxed on from further back (fourth) at Beverley subsequently; a possible.

Woodhay Whisper (IRE)

0%

Won twice for Jack Jones, both times over 6f at Wolverhampton; hung right and weakened when last in action at Southwell (5f) ten weeks ago; changed hands for 3,600gns since; best watched on stable debut.

Annie Edson Taylor (GB)

0%

Has shown her best form at Hamilton since joining Phil Makin, winning in added blinkers there (similar mark) last September; did well to finish fourth (met trouble) on seasonal reappearance at Newcastle but took backward step there next time; is capable if fully firing.

Fan Mail (GB)

0%

Dual AW winner (6f); fitted with cheekpieces and just held by the Michael Dods-trained Call Me Betty at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) 18 days ago; raised 1lb since but merits consideration with sterner headgear (blinkers) entering the equation.

Elvetham (IRE)

0%

Justified market support when scoring in added blinkers at Lingfield (6f AW, 5-1; from 5lb lower) in April; similar efforts (on RPRs) since, having to settle for minor honours at Kempton and Windsor; has a shout from a handy high draw.

Bibendum (GB)

0%

Took until the 21st attempt to get off the mark at Redcar (6f, good to firm) last August; acquitted himself well enough on AW at Newcastle over the winter, justifying favouritism there (5f) last November; monitor only for now though, returning to action off a four-month break.

Teddy Shaw (GB)

0%

Struggled to make his mark, often slowly away, in three 6f AW maidens at Newcastle; switches to turf for handicap debut off a ten-week absence; plenty to prove for the time being.

Kitaab (GB)

0%

No win since October 2024 (Newcastle); weakened quickly on turf return at Doncaster (7f) three weeks ago; the only real glimpse of life this year was when a never-nearer fourth at Southwell (5f; 25-1) in February; stablemate of East Tyrone.

East Tyrone (IRE)

0%

Infrequent winner (2-29); placed six times on AW since narrow win at Wolverhampton (6f; 18-1) in early January; failed to figure from a wide draw at Catterick (7f) latest so needs to bounce back; more appeal than stablemate Kitaab.
