Looking at the future form, is the winner worth following next time out? Over the past 20 renewals, if you had followed the winner of the Beverley Bullet Sprint Stakes next time out, then you would have backed a total of 3 winners.

Before placing your bet on the 2026 Beverley Bullet Sprint Stakes, see which other runners today are being backed on the racing predictions page.

The runner that holds the record over the past 20 renewals for the slowest time in the race was set in the 2008 renewal when Look Busy from Alan Berry under the guidance of Slade O'Hara, won in a time of 1:04.82, whilst at the other end of the spectrum, Tis Marvellous, trained by Clive Cox and ridden by Paul Hanagan set the quickest time of 59.51 in the 2021 renewal.

What the expert says...
Six of the last nine winners (2016-24) have gone on to run in the World Trophy at Newbury next time out. Take Cover (2017) is the only one of those six that went on to win that race.
