Thirsk Race 3 - Theakston Great Yorkshire Pint Ebf Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
LE SAMOURAI (1) Was all too good winning by 3/4L last run at Kempton and competing in a lower grade. Has very good finishing speed. Has a positive draw. Definite winning chance. REGAL DESIRE (7) Tidy effort when 2nd last start at Beverley and going down in class. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. Looks a worthwhile proposition today. TEST RUN (4) Unimpressive effort when 5th last time at Hamilton but facing a weaker group of contenders. Has plenty of early speed. Gets a favourable draw. Include in chances. BRIGHTON BEACH (6) In the money when 3rd last time at Chester but coming back in trip. Place chance.

Handy enough when winning by 3/4L last run at Kempton and drops back to a suitable grade. Has a nice turn of foot. No surprise to see solid support in the betting.

Jumped at $101.00 and disappointing outing when 13th last run at Southwell but having second career run. Challenged by less formidable competitors. Looking elsewhere.

Started at $51.00 and was ordinary when 6th last run at Redcar but fitter for debut run. Up against a less competitive field. Struggle to recommend.

Odds of $5.50 and only fair when 5th last time at Hamilton but facing less formidable opponents. Likely to be well placed early. Has drawn to do little work. Watch early betting.

Was $201.00 and average performance when 8th last time at Doncaster but matched against less formidable competition. Will be down in distance. Very unlikely to shake these.

Nice run when 2nd last start at Beverley and dropping in grade. Placed at every start this preparation. Good chance today.
