Thirsk Race 6 - William Hill Summer Cup Handicap

BOTANICAL (1) disappointed when eighth at Epsom Downs on most recent appearance. Returns from a short break and can bounce back. BIG LEADER (6) bids for a hat-trick having secured victories at Redcar and Southwell AW with the latter by 2L. Dangerous. TREBLE TEE (4) looks of interest making handicap debut after finishing last of six in the John Dunlop Conditions Stakes at Goodwood. Potential. BARLEY (5) hopes to turn a pair of runner-up efforts into a win after placing second at Ripon two weeks back. Not discounted.
