Thirsk Race 1 - British Ebf Fillies' Novice Stakes (Gbb/Gbbplus Race)
HAPINESS (3) Threw down a serious challenge last start at Chepstow and was a debutant last start. Rhys Clutterbuck and Ralph Beckett form a proven partnership. Will find this grade more suitable. Looks to be in good shape and must go close today. HELLO FRIEND (4) Good run when finishing 2nd last start at Newcastle and having second race start. Has been racing in stronger company. One of the major players. TALITHA ROUGE (5) Tidy effort when 3rd last start at Redcar and having second career run. Facing a weaker group of contenders. Keep in mind. COUNTER INTUITIVE (1) Finished 6th last time at Salisbury but up against weaker rivals. Expected to be flashing home. Gets a favourable stall. Keep an eye on the market for any leads.

Was $13.00 and came in 6th last time at Salisbury but challenged by weaker competitors. Finishes off strongly. Drawn nicely. Will be a tough ask.

First up after a break. Started $51.00 and was ordinary when 5th last run at Southwell but facing less formidable opponents. Won't be far away during the run. Simply cannot have in this.

Narrowly denied a win last start at Chepstow and fitter for debut run. Jockey Rhys Clutterbuck is in top form for this yard. Competing in a less challenging grade. Worth strong consideration.

Showed a good turn of foot when 2nd beaten by 1 1/4L last start at Newcastle and having second career run. Competing in a lower grade. Will go close.

Competitive effort when 3rd last start at Redcar and was on debut last time. Up against a less competitive field. Represents value at a price.
