9/2 FCST 4/1
Capital Guarantee is fresh, back only 12 days after his latest run, and already holds form over today's distance. He remains without a win in his last six starts, and the yard is out of form, but he brings the highest official rating into this field.
AI verdict

SR 80 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Degale shares the fastest figures on the clock of these six and already holds form over today's distance, back just 12 days after his latest run. He remains without a win in his last six starts, with modest finishing positions the obvious blot on that record.
AI verdict

SR 65 suggests ability but 14/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Harswell Ruby was runner-up last time out and returns quickly again nine days later, sharing the fastest figures on the clock here in cheekpieces. She remains without a win in her last six starts, with mostly mid-field finishes before that latest effort.
AI verdict

SR 81 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Military Leader has been well placed, with two wins and two runner-up efforts in his last five starts, and holds form over today's distance in blinkers. He is only rated on a par with his official mark, and the lengthy break since his latest run is the concern.

Cosmos Raj has failed to find a placing in his last five starts and the yard is currently out of form, leaving him rated last of these six. He does have experience over today's distance, though, and quicker figures on the clock than his placings suggest.
AI verdict

SR 45 suggests ability but 40/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Barley has been rock-solid, placed in four of his last six starts including third last time out, and is fresh again 12 days later with form over today's distance in cheekpieces. He remains without a win in that spell, but the consistency makes him hard to leave out.
AI verdict

SR 78 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Capital Guarantee
Confidence: Medium

Capital Guarantee (SR:80, 9/2) is the O'Meara yard's clear #1 runner — the stable's senior apprentice booking on a horse that has shortened 26% in the market, the strongest move in this field. Dropping a class (ClassMv:↓1) and running off a mark 6lb lower than last win (MarkMv:-6) gives it a real licence to perform, and its Course:W1P1 record at Thirsk confirms it acts on this track. The form string 020906 is patchy but the class drop plus significant market support suggests connections expect a bounce-back, and at 9-4 it carries a 5lb weight advantage over Military Leader despite superior SR alignment once the mark drop is factored in. Each-way alternative: Barley. Main danger: Harswell Ruby — Harswell Ruby is the even-money favourite, carries the lightest weight in the shortlist at 9-4, holds Course:W1P1 form at Thirsk, and the 7% market move inward shows steady confidence despite DistFit:- and GoingFit:- concerns that the market may be discounting.
