Thirsk Race 1 - Personal Touches Day Of Elegance Nursery
THE MONKEY KING (3) broke the maiden on most recent appearance scoring by 1.75L in a 1400m novice race at Brighton last month. One of five in the race who make their handicap debut. Can double up. LOVE TANYA (2) bids to turn three consecutive placed efforts into a win. Lost out narrowly by a head to finish runner-up in a 1400m handicap at this venue. Steps slightly up in trip and is likely to feature. PRINCE KAMEO (7) found a first career success when a 0.75L winner of a Lingfield Park AW handicap nine days ago. Quickly turned out and expected to challenge. COCO NOVA (4) is not ruled out after placing third on latest outing at Beverley.
