Thirsk hosts a competitive card of seven races on Friday, including a Class 2 seven-furlong handicap which has attracted a good field of nine runners.

It could be a big Saturday for William Haggas and the Newmarket-based trainer kicked off the weekend in perfect style as Tiber Flow rallied to Group 3 Chipchase victory in the northeast.

Raymond Tusk landed his first success since joining the Alan King stable when returning to form with a vengeance in the SBK Conditions Stakes at Doncaster.

He seems to be sailing under the radar but the hulking UK stayer Muntahaa is the horse many overseas raiders fear in Tuesday’s $7 million Melbourne Cup at Flemington.

万利嘉多锦标赛的排位表已经出炉，高多芬赛驹「卡门塔瑞」运气不佳，抽到了14匹赛驹中的第12号闸，但这并没有影响它在赌市中的大热门地位。爱尔兰驯马师艾丹·奥布莱恩将在此赛中派出四匹赛驹，其中最受赌市看好的是刚参加过巅峰赛的「海军旗帜」，它的起跑闸位为2号。
