3:15 Beverley Tips

Kept on well and nearest at the finish over a mile at Thirsk 11 days ago. Will welcome a likely fast pace with the slight drop in trip.

No comment made

Has been running well of late with a win at Thirsk and close efforts in fourth and fifth over the mile distance. Ran out of steam towards the line on both of those last two efforts, so the drop back to seven furlongs might benefit. Finished a very close second here twice last season at this distance.

Now moving down to a Class 5 handicap for a favoured 7f trip. Once recognised as a 'Topspeed' selection at this venue. The Walford-trained gelding has shown he can be competitive and could potentially secure a place at enticing 28/1 odds if he finds his competitive spirit again.

Miss Willows carries the lowest weight of 8-05 in this Class 5 handicap at Beverley. She won at Redcar over 7 furlongs on her final outing last season off a mark of OR54. She runs off OR57 today and may have needed her first run back. Trainer Simon Whitaker had a 28-1 winner over 1 mile recently, making him profitable to follow on all runners this season. The 7yo mare by Outstrip has won 3 of 25 races under Rules. James Sullivan rides.
