How competitive is the Beverley Silver Cup market? When looking at the over-rounds for the last 20 renewals, the most competitive market was in 2024 when the race had an over-round of 107%. The race in 2005 was a race that was most in the bookie's favour with an over-round of 132%, whilst on average over the last 20 renewals of the Beverley Silver Cup, the over-round has been 117%, which means the bookie expects to pay out £100 for every £117 which is bet.

Below you will find the 2025 Beverley Silver Cup Trends. See which patterns have occurred over the recent renewals that you may be able to use for the next renewal. We also have a section that looks at the Beverley Silver Cup Trend Analysis.

These are the top three quickest-run Beverley Silver Cup races over the last 20 renewals:

  1. Eastern Aria (2:01.00) in 2009
  2. London Citizen (2:01.84) in 2013
  3. Teslin (2:02.24) in 2007

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 Silver Cup next time out, then you would have backed a total of 3 winners. Backing all 19 runners who have been out since their win at SP next time out would have returned an LSP of -4.75. Whilst we wait for the 2025 Beverley Silver Cup, remember you can get daily racing predictions from the expert tipsters on the racing predictions page.

Over the last 20 renewals, it was Eastern Aria, trained by Mark Johnston and ridden by Silvestre De Sousa, who set the fastest winning time in the Beverley Silver Cup. That runner won the race in a time of 2:01.00 in 2009. At the other end of the scale, it was the combination of trainer Roger Varian and jockey Jack Mitchell with Aimeric who set the slowest winning time; the race-winning time was 2:36.21 in the 2023 renewal.

What the expert says...
Form certainly looks key, six of the last twenty winners won last time out, and eleven finished top two last time out including four of the last five.
