Thirsk Race 2

Jw 4x4 Northallerton Irish Ebf Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)

Prize Money: $23,985

NATIONAL HONOUR (3) was well supported making his debut at Newmarket last month finishing held in second place beaten 2L. Open to any amount of improvement, Consider. VARZI (4) debuted wearing a tongue tie beaten by 2.75L contesting a 1000m novice event at York during May. Steps right up in trip this time around and cannot be ruled out. BREAKING THE HABIT (1) will likely to be better in handicaps further down the line. Shaped with a degree of promise at Catterick and is one to keep an eye on. GOLD KEY (2) lost ground quickly when debuting. Needs to be better if getting involved this time around.

Jumped at very long odds at debut, 3rd in a small field at Catterick on August 4 over 1400m, 9 len behind Waakabb carrying 60.5kg at $126. Might find this line-up too tough.

At debut, 9th of 14 at Newcastle All Weather on July 25 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Asander with 59kg at $23. Likely improver with top-three prospects.

Two-year-old colt by Too Darn Hot out of Ridaa having his first start. Should kick off on the right note.
