Thirsk best bet: Made Of Lir set to confirm recent win under bottom weight

Redcar

There will be plenty fancying their chances in this open-looking handicap, but Tipstrr pundit JoseBreval is one of many who favours the bottom-weighted horse to build on his recent success.

15:45 Thirsk: Vickers.Bet Best Odds Guaranteed Handicap (6 furlongs)

If the handicappers have done their job, then this race could be every bit as competitive as the early market suggests, with the top five in the betting covered by no more than a couple of points.

Quercus disappointed last time out on Newcastle's all-weather track, but looks a promising candidate on his turf return if he can recapture the form that landed him a tidy win at Catterick a month ago.

However, pick of that top bunch is the well-treated Made Of Lir, whose bottom-weight advantage is further enhanced by the five-pound allowance of promising claimer Conor Planas.

Planas is enjoying an impressive 19% win rate this term (25/132) and a further 31 each-way places suggests a jockey ready to make his mark at the top level.

He has a great chance of adding to that tally on Sam England's three-year-old filly, after the pair landed a nine-runner event at Ripon two weeks ago.
Despite seeming outpaced halfway round, it was that strong gallop that brought the best out of Made Of Lir, who responded well when ridden out by Planas, easing home in the final stages.

A similar performance here should see her right in the mix once again, and at a current price of 6/1 or better, she looks great value to feature among the places at the very least.

Suggested bet: Made Of Lir in the 15:45 at Thirsk
