14:10 Beverley Handicap (Class 6) 5f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (4/1 +38%) Imperial Khan	4 4/1(+38%)	(6) Imperial Khan 4/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Cheekpieces on first time, creditable fifth of 13 in handicap (16/1) at Catterick (5f, good) 16 days ago. Better than the result when 5th at Catterick latest; dropped 1lb; each-way squeak.
2	2 2nd (2) (4.5/1 +0%) Emeralds Pride	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(2) Emeralds Pride 4.5/1, 12/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) on reappearance 23 days ago but should be sharper for the outing and she's well treated on the pick of last year's turf form. Didn't progress last year; pulled hard on return; down in trip/grade but not without risk.
3	9 3rd (9) (9/1 -50%) Sharrabang	9 9/1(-50%)	(9) Sharrabang 9/1, Twenty one runs since last win in 2021. Very good second of 8 in handicap (18/1) at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Can give a good account. On losing run but he went close at Hamilton 12 days ago; in the mix with a repeat.
4	11 4th (11) (22/1 +0%) Golden Prosperity	22 22/1(+0%)	(11) Golden Prosperity 22/1, Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. Below form thirteenth of 20 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good, 50/1) 11 days ago. Exposed maiden who flattered to deceive a few times over the winter; well beaten latest.
5th	8 5th (8) (22/1 -10%) Howyadoin	22 22/1(-10%)	(8) Howyadoin 22/1, Modest maiden. Shaped as if needing run when fifth of 7 in handicap at Catterick (5f, good to soft, 22/1) on reappearance 35 days ago. May fare better this time. 0-11 but there was promise last summer and he can leave his reappearance behind him today.
6th	3 6th (3) (4/1 +20%) Van Gerwen	4 4/1(+20%)	(3) Van Gerwen 4/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 12/1, close second of 9 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good to firm) 10 days ago. One to consider. Narrowly failed at Ripon ten days ago; same mark; has won over C&D; one to take seriously.
7th	7 7th (7) (9/1 +25%) Snow Berry	9 9/1(+25%)	(7) Snow Berry 9/1, Notched 3 turf wins in 2021 but has drawn a blank since. Her mark has come down as a result, though, and she wasn't beaten far when last of 7 at Southwell 23 days ago. Back on turf for the first time this year. Better on turf than AW and returns to grass on a competitive mark; one to take seriously.
8th	5 8th (5) (25/1 -25%) Roman Blaze	25 25/1(-25%)	(5) Roman Blaze 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Best run when fifth of 12 in handicap (66/1) at Ayr (6f, good) 23 days ago. Needs to build on that now. Recent h'cap debut (6f, good) was better but not sure to benefit from another drop in trip.
9th	1 9th (1) (2.25/1 +55%) High Security	2.25 2.25/1(+55%)	(1) High Security 2.25/1, C&D winner. Creditable fourth of 8 over C&D (good, 17/2) 15 days ago. Can play a part if a wide draw isn't too big an inconvenience. C&D winner; ran well in a Class 5 here two weeks ago; widest draw to contend with.
10th	12 10th (12) (40/1 -150%) Star Of Havana	40 40/1(-150%)	(12) Star Of Havana 40/1, Well held in 3 outings over 6f last autumn but more realistic chance now handicapping at a modest level on reappearance. One to note in the betting. Poor form in three 6f runs last year; bred to do better; betting instructive on return.
11th	10 11th (10) (80/1 -142%) Sir Arthur's Boy	80 80/1(-142%)	(10) Sir Arthur's Boy 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6f, 40/1) on reappearance 20 days ago. Makes turf debut. Cheekpieces on first time. Beaten one home in 4 starts; tailed off on recent h'cap debut; down in trip & headgear now.

LTO Selection:

14:10 Beverley Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Van Gerwen was denied by the narrowest of margins at Ripon earlier this month and he should not be dismissed off the same mark, but HARRY WITH STYLE made a pleasing switch to turf when scoring at Bath last time out and shades the vote. He has gone up 10lb for that success, but Adam Tracey negates half of that rise with his 5lb claim, so the gelded son of Dutch Art would be foolish to dismiss. Sharrabang and High Security are others worthy of consideration.

The handicapper might have taken a bit of a chance dropping EMERALDS PRIDE for a reappearance run which she may simply have needed and she's on a good mark based on her 2022 exploits. Van Gerwen is getting on a bit now but showed he can still make an impact from his reduced mark when narrowly denied at Ripon recently. The shortlist is completed by Stella Barclay's Sharrabang.

Plenty of possibles but SNOW BERRY should appreciate the return to turf and she can capitalise on her reduced mark.

14:10 Beverley Handicap (Class 6) 5f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:40 Beverley Claimer (Class 6) 5f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	9 1st (9) (1.2/1 +52%) Travel Candy	1.2 1.2/1(+52%)	(9) Travel Candy 1.2/1, Twice-raced maiden. 125/1, sixth of 9 in maiden at Naas (5f, good) 25 days ago. Will find this much less demanding and she's an interesting runner from handy draw. Latest Naas run came in a good maiden and she shaped okay; big chance dropped in grade.
2	7 2nd (7) (3/1 +14%) Patasola	3 3/1(+14%)	(7) Patasola 3/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1, eighth of 11 in maiden at Haydock (6f, good) 5 days ago, weakening under 2f out. Still, not ruled out for each-way purposes. First two runs both offer hope now dropping into this grade; drawn 1; key player.
3	4 3rd (4) (50/1 -257%) Naval Flight	50 50/1(-257%)	(4) Naval Flight 50/1, Twice-raced maiden. 125/1, tenth of 11 in maiden at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 16 days ago. Needs to step up to figure even at this level. She has achieved little in her two starts and the drop in class isn't enough to tempt.
4	6 4th (6) (5/1 +9%) Lady Of The Garr	5 5/1(+9%)	(6) Lady Of The Garr 5/1, Foaled March 7. €40,000 foal, Mehmas filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful winner up to 6f Wasntexpectingthat and 1m winner Itsakindamagic. Dam unraced. Wouldn't need to be anything out the ordinary to figure on debut. 40,000euros foal; half-sister to five winners; starts out at a low level; betting to guide.
5th	1 5th (1) (11/1 -69%) Mist Of Lir	11 11/1(-69%)	(1) Mist Of Lir 11/1, Modest colt. 10/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, eighth of 9 in maiden at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Claims of hitting the frame if blinkers have positive effect now. One run that offers hope but looks vulnerable despite new headgear and a drop in grade.
6th	3 6th (3) (25/1 -108%) Bellestarr	25 25/1(-108%)	(3) Bellestarr 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 28/1, sixth of 9 in maiden at Redcar (6f, good to soft) 9 days ago, weakening from halfway. More needed. Poor form in three runs this spring; down in class with enough to prove.
7th	5 7th (5) (14/1 +0%) Bargain Basement	14 14/1(+0%)	(5) Bargain Basement 14/1, Twice-raced maiden. Seventh of 10 in maiden at Redcar (6f, good to soft, 50/1) 9 days ago, diving right leaving stalls and never involved. Recorded an RPR of just 39 in his two runs this month; down in grade; likely best watched.
8th	2 8th (2) (14/1 -56%) Lastingham	14 14/1(-56%)	(2) Lastingham 14/1, Foaled April 11. Pastoral Pursuits colt. Dam 5.7-6f winner. Last of 6 in maiden at Doncaster (5f, heavy, 33/1) on debut 25 days ago, ridden halfway and soon beaten. This should reveal more. Last of six on debut but behind a smart sort and shaped okay; capable of a fair bit better.
9th	8 9th (8) (66/1 -164%) Chicabiddy	66 66/1(-164%)	(8) Chicabiddy 66/1, Once-raced maiden. 40/1, eighth of 9 in minor event at this C&D (good to soft) on debut 42 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time. Offered little over C&D on debut six weeks ago; blinkers added; yard runs two.

LTO Selection:

14:40 Beverley Claimer (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

In a contest lacking depth, a tentative vote is given to PATASOLA, who has proven to be capable of better than her most recent outing at Haydock suggests. She drops considerably in class from that run and looks the one to side with. Any market support would be significant for the unraced Lady Of The Garr, while Lastingham is another to bear in mind.

Irish raider TRAVEL CANDY will find this much less demanding than her assignment in a Naas maiden 25 days ago and, from a handy draw, gets the nod to capitalise on the marked drop in grade. Newcomer Lady of The Garr wouldn't need to be anything out of the ordinary to figure and she's worth monitoring in the betting. Patasola completes the shortlist.

A weak race but Patasola and TRAVEL CANDY have shown clear promise against useful opposition and look the two to focus on.

15:10 Beverley Handicap (Class 5) 7f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (22/1 -100%) Cliffcake	22 22/1(-100%)	(7) Cliffcake 22/1, Built up a good strike rate for this yard but seemingly been working his way back to full fitness so far this term, weakening final 1f when tenth in 12-runner Thirsk handicap (1m) 11 days ago. Now below last winning mark so not one to write off. Four most recent wins at 7f and conditions should suit back at this trip; not ruled out.
2	10 2nd (10) (3/1 +25%) Ugo Gregory	3 3/1(+25%)	(10) Ugo Gregory 3/1, 3-time C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at this course (8.4f, good, 9/2) 15 days ago. Enters calculations from handy draw with yard hitting form. Three C&D wins; some creditable 1m runs here of late; on the premises back at 7f.
3	2 3rd (2) (4/1 +33%) Beltane	4 4/1(+33%)	(2) Beltane 4/1, Eased in weights and duly capitalised when landing 9-runner handicap on return at Musselburgh (1m) 53 days ago, having run of race. Picked up for 6,000 gns by new yard since and 5 lb higher mark gives him claims again despite a wide draw. Front-running winner at 1m on latest; sold 6,000gns since; interesting for new yard.
4	9 4th (9) (4/1 +20%) Sir Maxi	4 4/1(+20%)	(9) Sir Maxi 4/1, Belatedly capitalised on easing mark when getting on top in dying strides over C&D last summer. Operating below best in couple of outings so far this season but bounce back certainly not ruled out from handy draw with Oisin Murphy an eye-catching booking. Modest strike-rate but won only C&D start (good to firm) and O Murphy is 6-10 for yard.
5th	5 5th (5) (12/1 +14%) Culcor	12 12/1(+14%)	(5) Culcor 12/1, 16/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 9 in handicap at Haydock (7f, good) 18 days ago, off the pace halfway and beaten under 2f out. Visor on 1st time. Tough to assess at present. Won 7f maiden at Gowran last summer; well held for both British yards; something to prove.
6th	4 6th (4) (12/1 +40%) Mercurius Power	12 12/1(+40%)	(4) Mercurius Power 12/1, Below form tenth of 16 in handicap at Pontefract (1m, good to soft, 50/1) 37 days ago, give underfoot possibly not suiting ideally. Now operating 2 lb below last winning mark if return to quicker ground has positive effect here. Fair AW run in March; slow surfaces against him on turf since; good to firm suits better.
7th	3 7th (3) (12/1 +14%) Boafo Boy	12 12/1(+14%)	(3) Boafo Boy 12/1, Latest win at Newcastle (7f) in January. Sixth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (1m) 27 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Return to 7f a plus on that evidence but his recent record is a somewhat patchy one. First 2 runs on turf as 2yo, winning on debut; raced on AW since; intriguing back on grass.
8th	11 8th (11) (6.5/1 -18%) Special Mayson	6.5 6.5/1(-18%)	(11) Special Mayson 6.5/1, 5/4, respectable third of 7 in handicap at Catterick (6f, soft) 35 days ago. Return to a faster surface will hold no fears now stepping back up in trip and he's another not out of things. Dual 7f winner; best recent form at 6f and stiff test at this trip may not be ideal.
9th	8 9th (8) (11/1 -29%) Flash The Dash	11 11/1(-29%)	(8) Flash The Dash 11/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 16/1, first run since re-joining present stable when respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 26 days ago. Ease in class rates a plus if he can build on that now. Useful 7f novice form as 2yo; had some disappointments since but these conditions suit.
10th	12 10th (12) (66/1 -136%) Temper Trap	66 66/1(-136%)	(12) Temper Trap 66/1, 12/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Wetherby (8f, good to firm) 15 days ago, racing off the pace and never landing a blow. Must improve. Getting well handicapped again but all wins in the second half of the year.
11th	6 11th (6) (20/1 -167%) Star Zinc	20 20/1(-167%)	(6) Star Zinc 20/1, Remains a maiden and probably has a quirk or two but consistent for Charlie Fellowes and he shaped as if better for the run starting out for new yard when sixth in 9-runner Haydock handicap (7f) 18 days ago. Likely has a bigger effort in his locker if things fall into place. Maiden but has a 7f race in him on 2022 form; stiffer test at the trip is worth a go.
12th	1 12th (1) (200/1 -203%) Park Street	200 200/1(-203%)	(1) Park Street 200/1, 1m winner on AW for John & Thady Gosden but offered little in handful of starts on Flat/over hurdles for present yard last year and similarly no upturn back from 6 months off when last of 15 in handicap at Thirsk 11 days ago. Can only be watched. AW winner on final run for Gosdens; form for new yard suggests he needs weight off back.

LTO Selection:

15:10 Beverley Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

BELTANE has gone up 5lb following a facile success over a mile at Musselburgh last month and he looks the one to beat on his stable debut for Mick Appleby. He does have to shoulder joint-top weight for this run, though, so Special Mayson should not be taken lightly back up in trip following a staying-on third over 6f most recently. Ugo Gregory is another to consider dropping in distance.

A 3-time C&D winner, UGO GREGORY went winless last term but there have been more encouraging signs from his much-reduced mark in recent weeks and he could be ready to strike from a handy draw eased back in trip. Musselburgh scorer Beltane, on debut for Mick Appleby, is a threat, along with Special Mayson. Cliffcake also makes each-way appeal from an easing mark.

Star Zinc has solid claims on his 7f form last summer but SIR MAXI was suited by this C&D when winning here last summer.

15:40 Beverley Maiden (Class 5) 7f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (4/1 +38%) Bobby's Blessing	4 4/1(+38%)	(1) Bobby's Blessing 4/1, Bobby's Kitten colt. Half-brother to useful/untrustworthy 6f winner Atalanta's Boy. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. Makes a somewhat belated debut as a 4-y-o but in very good hands and market support behind him would need to be viewed positively. Out of 5f winner who bred multiple winning sprinter; market can guide on belated debut.
2	5 2nd (5) (6/1 +0%) Leap Day	6 6/1(+0%)	(5) Leap Day 6/1, Thrice-raced gelding. 15/8, sixth of 9 in maiden at Thirsk (6f, heavy) 20 days ago, soon off bridle and weakening over 1f out. Pick of his form gives him claims if he can shrug that effort off here. All races at 6f; useful turf debut (soft); well held since; new conditions/trip today.
3	2 3rd (2) (1.25/1 +23%) Man Of A'An	1.25 1.25/1(+23%)	(2) Man Of A'An 1.25/1, Twice-raced gelding. Much improved from debut when second of 9 in minor event at Redcar (7f, good to soft, 5/1) 27 days ago, finishing well. Likely to progress further and he's in the mix. Came on for debut when only just failing at Redcar (7f); solid chance of going one better.
4	3 4th (3) (6/1 -140%) Sidney's Son	6 6/1(-140%)	(3) Sidney's Son 6/1, Promising sort. 4/1, very good second of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 23 days ago, leading under pressure 2f out and headed last ½f. From a family who progress well with age and big player with likelihood of more to come. Come on a bundle over the winter and has run two good races at 1m/7f on AW; thereabouts.
5th	7 5th (7) (50/1 +0%) Lady Douglas	50 50/1(+0%)	(7) Lady Douglas 50/1, Twice-raced filly. 50/1, ran well below debut form when sixth of 7 in maiden at Nottingham (8.3f) 19 days ago, testing conditions possibly against her. Remains early days but she's best watched until tackling handicaps. Hinted at ability on AW but finished remote on turf debut and handicaps more fruitful.
6th	6 6th (6) (14/1 +13%) Dance Angel	14 14/1(+13%)	(6) Dance Angel 14/1, Twice-raced filly. Second of 6 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 13/2) 19 days ago, ridden over 2f out and one paced. Handicaps entitled to be more her bag on the back of this. Should improve with racing but others have achieved more and this is her first turf run.
7th	4 7th (4) (9/1 +18%) Tipp Town	9 9/1(+18%)	(4) Tipp Town 9/1, Promise when midfield in 14-runner Ayr maiden (7.2f) on debut in September. Well below that level at Redcar the following month but gelded ahead of return to action and he could well get back on track, particularly in handicaps moving forward. Ran green but good late work into 5th on 7f debut; way back next time; off since October.

LTO Selection:

15:40 Beverley Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Narrowly denied over this distance at Redcar last time out, MAN OF A'AN must hold every chance if building on that effort for his in-form connections. He should have too much for Sidney's Son, who has bee runner-up on his last two starts on the all-weather. Dance Angel improved from first to second start when runner-up at Wolverhampton and is another to consider.

MAN OF A'AN took a marked step forward from his debut effort when a strong-finishing second in a Redcar novice 4 weeks ago and with further progress in the offing, he shades the vote to come out on top. Sidney's Son is similarly progressive and in with a big shout. Leap Day completes the shortlist.

Leap Day could be a danger but MAN OF A'AN looks a safer bet after his strong-finishing second at Redcar this month.

16:10 Beverley Handicap (Class 4) 8f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (5.5/1 +8%) Golden Sands	5.5 5.5/1(+8%)	(4) Golden Sands 5.5/1, Latest win at Kempton in February. 28/1, good third of 11 in C&D handicap (good to soft) 34 days ago. Likely to go well. Close, front-running third over C&D when reverting to turf for latest outing.
2	6 2nd (6) (5/1 +9%) Crown Princess	5 5/1(+9%)	(6) Crown Princess 5/1, C&D winner. Creditable seventh of 14 in handicap (12/1) at Hamilton (9.2f, good) 17 days ago. More needed. Not disgraced this term; well handicapped if returning to the form shown last May/June.
3	7 3rd (7) (11/1 +8%) Poet's Dawn	11 11/1(+8%)	(7) Poet's Dawn 11/1, Four-time C&D winner but arrives with something to prove after running poorly on his last 2 outings. 5-19 at Beverley and not seen here since scoring last August; 3lb higher today.
4	3 4th (3) (16/1 +11%) Scotch Mistress	16 16/1(+11%)	(3) Scotch Mistress 16/1, Course winner. Last of 14 in handicap at Hamilton (9f, good) on reappearance 17 days ago. Others more persuasive. E-w chance if she reverts to her best form of 2022 but she is unraced on firmer than good.
5th	2 5th (2) (2.5/1 +29%) Casilli	2.5 2.5/1(+29%)	(2) Casilli 2.5/1, Three-time C&D winner, the latest last July on her final 5-y-o start. Presumably needed the run when tenth of 14 on her Hamilton reappearance 17 days ago. This should reveal more. 5-8 here; probably needs a career best but with the return to Beverley it may be possible.
6th	1 6th (1) (4.5/1 -29%) Shaladar	4.5 4.5/1(-29%)	(1) Shaladar 4.5/1, Second on Redcar reappearance and another sound run when fifth of 13 in a competitive heat at Hamilton since. Major player. Possibly best on good or softer; ran creditably this season but needs to find a bit extra.
7th	9 7th (9) (28/1 -40%) War Defender	28 28/1(-40%)	(9) War Defender 28/1, Running poorly on AW when last seen. His mark has come down as a result but it's hard to know what sort of form he's in. 3-13 on AW (heavy defeats this year); 0-14 on turf but has a much lower mark than in 2022.
8th	8 8th (8) (11/1 +31%) Captain Corelli	11 11/1(+31%)	(8) Captain Corelli 11/1, C&D winner. Tenth of 11 in C&D handicap on reappearance 15 days ago. Behind here on return; much the same happened last year before he won second time out.
9th	5 9th (5) (8/1 -78%) Dandy Maestro	8 8/1(-78%)	(5) Dandy Maestro 8/1, 13/2, creditable second of 6 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 18 days ago. Another who has to enter calculations. Got a lot closer to best 2022 form when second of six at Nottingham on latest start.

LTO Selection:

16:10 Beverley Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

CASILLI didn't show much on her return at Hamilton, but she is likely to improve for it and her record around here speaks for itself, having won five times. The daughter of Cacique gets the vote ahead of Golden Sands, who wasn't beaten far over C&D last month but remains winless on turf. Shaladar has run with credit on both starts this season and must also enter calculations.

SHALADAR has a solid record in handicaps since this time last year and can deservedly get his head back in front now. Golden Sands made a good return to turf when third over C&D last month and is second choice ahead of Richard Spencer's Dandy Maestro.

Casilli and Poet's Dawn have five wins apiece at this track. CAPTAIN CORELLI is another C&D winner to note, though.

16:40 Beverley Handicap (Class 6) 8f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (11/1 -38%) Urban Road	11 11/1(-38%)	(6) Urban Road 11/1, Winner at Southwell in April. 11/4, last of 6 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 23 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. No surprise to see a better showing here. Did not get the best of runs last time; peak efforts on AW but he has a place chance.
2	9 2nd (9) (5.5/1 +21%) Mr Heinz	5.5 5.5/1(+21%)	(9) Mr Heinz 5.5/1, 11/1, good third of 9 in handicap at Wetherby (8f, good to firm) 15 days ago, sticking to task having been headed 2f out. Not out of things if building on that here. 0-9; close third from the front at Wetherby (1m) two weeks ago in second-time cheekpieces.
3	1 3rd (1) (3/1 +10%) Hostelry	3 3/1(+10%)	(1) Hostelry 3/1, Going through a good spell at present and didn't need to improve to win 8-runner handicap at Ayr (8f, good) 7 days ago, staying on to lead dying strides. Should be competitive again with rider's claim off-setting rise in weights. Last Wednesday saw second win from 34 starts; two seconds and a win from four runs in 2023.
4	4 4th (4) (3.5/1 +53%) Clotherholme	3.5 3.5/1(+53%)	(4) Clotherholme 3.5/1, C&D winner. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good, 11/1) 16 days ago. Back up in trip. Now below last winning mark. C&D win last June off 3lb higher; needs to better this season's efforts; back up from 7f.
5th	2 5th (2) (10/1 -122%) El Royale	10 10/1(-122%)	(2) El Royale 10/1, 11/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, eleventh of 17 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, heavy) 33 days ago, slowly away and always behind. Still to prove himself as effective on turf as AW but the switch to quicker ground could well help and he remains low mileage. 0-7; backward steps when switched to turf for last two outings but they were on soft.
6th	10 6th (10) (16/1 -14%) Krystal Maze	16 16/1(-14%)	(10) Krystal Maze 16/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at this course (7.4f, soft, 18/1) 30 days ago, no extra last ½f. Needs to back that up now. 2-28 overall; just over 2l fifth of 14 last time was the best of her eight runs here.
7th	7 7th (7) (10/1 +0%) Mac Ailey	10 10/1(+0%)	(7) Mac Ailey 10/1, Latest win at Southwell in December. Creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at Wetherby (8f, good to soft, 22/1) 31 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Latest start was a step back in the right direction and he has a chance on the ratings.
8th	5 8th (5) (14/1 -133%) Captain St Lucifer	14 14/1(-133%)	(5) Captain St Lucifer 14/1, One win from 29 Flat runs. Creditable second of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 3/1) 32 days ago, effort on inner early in straight and keeping on. Each-way claims back on turf. 1-29 strike-rate but runner-up in four of his last five starts; more to find on turf.
9th	3 9th (3) (6/1 +63%) Available Angel	6 6/1(+63%)	(3) Available Angel 6/1, Gained reward for some good placed efforts when resuming winning ways in minor event at Yarmouth (1m) in August and ended turf campaign with a good fourth over C&D in September. Below par on AW thereafter and she may strip fitter for this first start for 5 months. Did well on turf last July-September; absence since December is the worry.
10th	11 10th (11) (150/1 -275%) Trulie Good	150 150/1(-275%)	(11) Trulie Good 150/1, Offered little in novice/maiden company during first half of last year, last of 12 in C&D event on final start 12 months ago. Best watched now handicapping on return. Low-level form after eight starts, failing to finish better than 6th; first tongue-tie.
11th	8 11th (8) (40/1 -150%) Lady Ziana	40 40/1(-150%)	(8) Lady Ziana 40/1, Remains a maiden after 28 Flat runs. First run since leaving David Brown when last of 10 in minor event (28/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 76 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Needs a couple of these to falter. Longstanding maiden; some headgear returns and she had some minor honours last term.

LTO Selection:

16:40 Beverley Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

HOSTELRY got up in the shadows of the post over 1m at Ayr last week and with an extra 100 yards to go at on this occasion, she could follow up. Captain St Lucifer continues to run well without winning and it may be a similar story in this contest, while Mr Heinz and Urban Road are others worthy of shortlist inclusion.

HOSTELRY is hardly prolific, yet she comes here having doubled her career tally at Ayr 7 days ago and, with her rider's claim more than off-setting her subsequent rise, it would come as no surprise to see her firmly in the mix once more. Clotherholme has yet to hit top form this term but his mark is easing and a better showing is anticipated from his handy draw. El Royale is also worth a look under Oisin Murphy.

Clotherholme has claims now back up in trip but HOSTELRY (nap) is in a good run of form and should deliver another bold show.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	10 1st (10) (1.88/1 +25%) Cloudy Rose	1.88 1.88/1(+25%)	(10) Cloudy Rose 1.88/1, Stepped up on reappearance to win 10-runner handicap at Brighton (1½m, good, 6/1) 29 days ago, driven out. Respected up 3 lb. 20th attempt when off the mark at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) four weeks ago; up 3lb.
2	7 2nd (7) (5/1 +69%) Valley Of Flowers	5 5/1(+69%)	(7) Valley Of Flowers 5/1, Below form on AW when last seen at the end of 2022 but that does mean she's dropped to 1 lb below the mark she defied at Ayr last autumn. Not dismissed. Went quiet last five starts and the market should help in assessing reappearance prospects.
3	2 3rd (2) (14/1 -75%) Three Dragons	14 14/1(-75%)	(2) Three Dragons 14/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in November but off since a below par sixth at Chelmsford the following month. First outing on turf since his 2019 debut. Won the first of two starts back; solitary run on turf was a satisfactory debut in 2019.
4	4 4th (4) (7/1 -8%) Jamih	7 7/1(-8%)	(4) Jamih 7/1, 14/1, creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at Catterick (1½m) on reappearance 16 days ago, fading late on as though possibly just needing the outing. Should be spot on now. Three wins (good to firm) in 34-race career; this month's reappearance was satisfactory.
5th	9 5th (9) (33/1 +0%) Crossbeau	33 33/1(+0%)	(9) Crossbeau 33/1, Poor form for Les Eyre last year, including in 2 handicaps. Not easy to make a case for on return for new trainer. Low-level form, including in two handicaps; not seen since last July and has left Les Eyre.
6th	3 6th (3) (4.5/1 +25%) Bit Of A Quirke	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(3) Bit Of A Quirke 4.5/1, Six-time course winner. 8/1, creditable third of 7 in handicap at Ripon 19 days ago. Back up in trip. Much respected back at his favoured venue. Front-running veteran; 6-24 at Beverley, plus place returns; seen more often over 1m2f.
7th	5 7th (5) (8.5/1 -6%) Tiberio Force	8.5 8.5/1(-6%)	(5) Tiberio Force 8.5/1, Seventh of 10 in handicap (9/2) at Catterick (1½m) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Needs a couple of these to falter. The headgear returns today for the first time this season, making him one to note.
8th	8 8th (8) (5.5/1 -38%) Chief Craftsman	5.5 5.5/1(-38%)	(8) Chief Craftsman 5.5/1, 18 starts since sole win in 2020 but he did shape well when third of 12 in handicap at Carlisle (11f, good) 9 days ago, meeting trouble on a couple of occasions. Shortlist material. Sole win in 2020 but he went close with a strong finish at Carlisle (1m3f) nine days ago.
9th	6 9th (6) (80/1 -142%) Coriano Ridge	80 80/1(-142%)	(6) Coriano Ridge 80/1, Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. Ninth of 12 in novice at Southwell (11f, 250/1). Off 103 days. Makes handicap debut. Improvement will be needed. Low-level form in two bumpers and three runs under Flat rules; first step into handicap.

LTO Selection:

17:12 Beverley Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Cloudy Rose was a game winner at Brighton last time and warrants respect off a 3lb higher mark, with Oisin Murphy an eye-catching jockey booking. Six-time course scorer Bit Of A Quirke has been knocking on the door and should make his presence felt, but CHIEF CRAFTSMAN lines up off the same mark as when a close-up third at Carlisle recently and he shades the verdict.

Although a 1-28 career record is hardly compelling CHIEF CRAFTSMAN did shape well when third at Carlisle last week and is worth a chance to confirm that promise. Course specialist Bit of A Quirke is an obvious threat, while Cloudy Rose is also respected on the back of a last-time-out Brighton success.

Bit Of A Quirke has six Beverley wins. Others have each-way claims but another angle is the return of cheekpieces on TIBERIO FORCE.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
