Horse Racing Tips: Stick with Original Choice at Thirsk

Worcester 15:50 – Barman – 3/1 – 2pts
Today’s longer trip is likely to suite and Nicky Henderon’s charge returns to a course where he has won twice at in the past. He ran a good race back from a break in a higher grade last time out and with Nico de Boinville on-board, expect the 6o to take plenty of beating.

Worcester 16:20 – Celestial Path – 7/2 – 1pt
An expensive flat recruit from the Sir Mark Prescott yard, the 5yo wasn’t beaten far in the 2000 Guineas won by Gleneagles. He’s been disappointing over hurdles so far but today’s faster ground and drop in trip should hopefully bring out the best in him.

Thirsk 16:30 – Original Choice 6/4 – 3pts
Only beaten a head last time out at Haydock on his first run over a mile, William Haggas’s 3yo is a winner of 2 of his six races to date and should still have improvement in him.

Fairyhouse 18:50 – Music Box – 11/1 – 1pt each-way
Hampered in her last outing at the Curragh when finishing 8th, three lengths behind Asking. Given the race is over the same distance, in similar condition, if she can avoid the trouble she encountered last time she could out-run her lofty odds.
