Saturday at Thirsk // 2026-04-18
It has been a rotten start to my flat season punting (currently -9.10), but April can always be dodgy so I’m carrying on with a smile on my face and there’s some decent action to get stuck into at Thirsk, one of my favourite small courses.
I’m putting this one up now as might not have time for any more tomorrow …
2.47 Thirsk I backed LORD ABAMA on his seasonal reappearance LTO and I’m going to do so again and much of the same reasoning applies as it did then. This time though he’s out of apprentice company and effectively down a further 3lbs and he may well get the run of the race out in front. He would be a strong bet if the going was good to firm, but with 5 places generally available, I think he’s another great each way chance.
