Thirsk Race 2 - British Ebf Restricted Novice Stakes (Gbb Race) (Div 2)
ARAPAHO GOLD (1) aims to remain unbeaten after winning sole career appearance contesting a maiden at this venue attempting 1000m scoring by 2.5L. Major player. TRAVELLERS GIRL (9) missed the frame finishing fourth on debut attempting a maiden at Ripon a fortnight ago. Will be thereabouts providing second outing. HARRY WHO (2) rates the pick of those debuting. Bred by Space Blues out of Listed Prix Volterra winner Dark Orchid and is a half-brother to three-time Listed winner Daramethos. Worth considering. MICK'S THE BOY (7) disappointed slightly tackling latest running eighth in a selling race at York. Improvement expected.

Was at big odds at debut, ran last of 8 at Carlisle on June 9 over 1000m, 28 len behind Sydney Grace carrying 60.5kg at $29. Won't find this any easier so he must improve sharply.

Jumped at very long odds at debut, 5th of 9 at Redcar on June 20 over 1200m, 8 len behind Furturra with 57.5kg at $67. Has upside and may pay to follow up.
