Thirsk Race 6 - Weatherbys Racing Bank Hcp (Gbbplus Race)
YORK TOWER (2) represents a leading trainer. Yet to break the maiden after placing three times past four starts. Missed the frame when fourth contesting the Lester Piggott Handicap at Epsom Downs. Rates a leading contender down in grade. TEMPLE (4) placed third on most recent appearance attempting a handicap at Newmarket (July) twelve days ago. Expected to challenge. YAFREH (3) recorded a career best previous outing finishing runner-up in a Hamilton Park maiden. Interesting making handicap debut. ASIA FORCE (1) cannot be discounted aiming to turn four consecutive placed efforts into a triumph.

Third-up today. First-up 2nd in a small field at Pontefract on April 29 over 2000m, 6 len behind Infraad with 56.5kg at $8. Second-up 3rd of 9 at Chester on June 12 over 2100m, 6 len behind Morbeh with 58kg at $9. Should be cherry ripe third-up and looks a solid top three prospect.
