7:35 Beverley Tips

Won previous outing before disappointing tenth last time out, but now turns out for a new stable after having a wind operation so expecting a decent run in better shape now.

Midnight Strike is the only confirmed front-runner in a four-runner selling stakes and represents a yard enjoying a productive spell. He boasts a 25% career strike rate and has shown a clear preference for sprint distances over 5-7f, with a 12.5% win rate from eight runs at that range. By contrast, the market leader Nepal has been off the boil since a Bahrain win and faces a significant drop in class. Blufferonthebus, despite course experience, has a modest 15% win rate from 39 starts, while Catton Lady is winless in her last five outings. With a favourable draw and the tongue-tie and cheekpieces combination expected to spark a revival, Midnight Strike holds a clear edge in this moderate affair.
