Thirsk Race 7 - Sky Bet Summer Festival Coming Soon Handicap
GREEN TEAM (1) brings consistent form including a pair of Wolverhampton AW victories tackling this trip prior to running 11L third tackling a 3200m handicap at Kempton AW last month. Top pick. FLEUR DE MER (3) produced a solid 1L fourth attempting this handicap grade over 2400m at Newcastle AW. Big chance. GASTRONOMY (5) ran with credit in the same Newcastle AW handicap posting a decent fifth. Might feature. Sedgefield maiden hurdle winner CELESTIAL REIGN (2) warrants a market check.

Recent form sound. Returns from a 48-day let-up. At the latest run raced on speed throughout when 2nd of 10 at Cartmel on May 28 over 3400m, nose behind Terrorise carrying 71kg at $8. Before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.8 len at Sedgefield May 13 over 3990m defeating Solent Gateway with 68kg at $4.50. One of the better chances.

Most recently 4th of 11 at Newcastle All Weather on June 28 over 2500m, 1.3 len behind Pralognan carrying 60kg at $13. The race before that second last of 8 at Catterick on June 10 over 3200m, 8 len behind Show No Fear carrying 61kg at $34. Making headway. Can improve on the latest effort and is well-placed to take this out.
