Thirsk 14:12 Odds Comparison

£500,000 buy who took a step forward when runner-up to useful sort in a novice at Redcar in September. Pulled hard and did too much too soon when occupying same spot at Newcastle on return a month ago. Has a bigger effort in him.

Ran as well as could be expected in a valuable sales race at the Curragh and good fifth of 14 in another sales event at York (7f) in October. That form puts him right in the mix on return to action (has been gelded).

Represents leading connections and hinted at ability along with obvious greenness when tenth of 15 in novice at Newmarket (7f) on debut, very slowly away. Sure to do better.

Fitted with blinkers and produced best effort at 2 yrs when runner-up on nursery debut at Fairyhouse. Way he shaped that day suggests 7f will suit on reappearance for new yard (has been gelded).

Produced best effort in a trio of juvenile starts when fourth of 10 in maiden at Catterick (7f, good to soft).

Fared best of those held up when fifth of 11 in maiden at Catterick (7f) on debut 10 days ago, finishing with running left. Should improve on that.

Went backwards from debut when seventh of 9 in novice at Pontefract (6f). Gelded since last seen.

€12,000 yearling, £80,000 2-y-o, Space Blues gelding. Dam, maiden (stayed 7f), half-sister to useful 7f-10.7f winner Hawke out of smart winner up to 10.5f (2-y-o 1m winner who stayed 12.5f) Australie.

Similar form both starts, fifth of 7 in novice at this course over 1m a week ago.

13,000 gns yearling, Dream Ahead gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 7f-1m winner Ayr Harbour and 1m-1¼m winner Desert Lion, both useful. Dam 2-y-o 7f/7.5f winner.

Too green to show much when seventh of 11 in maiden at Catterick (7f) on debut 10 days ago. Likely to improve for successful yard.

Cheap purchase who is related to several winners and he offered something to work on when fifth in a 1m Newcastle novice in February. Still looked green when fourth over the same C&D a month later.

3,000 gns 2-y-o, Territories gelding. Closely related to 7.5f winner Perfect Stranger and 13f winner Palmares and half-brother to 8.5f/9.5f winner Pin Up Girl, all in France.

Green when well held in 2 minor events last summer. Sold from Kevin Ryan 11,000 gns since latest start and gelded.

Looked limited around this time last year. Hood applied.

Low-grade hurdler who has offered little both starts on the level and this surely an insufficient test of stamina.
