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

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

Berthed well in stall two, CATCHING THE MOON is expected to take all the beating. Only bested by Albany runner-up Awaken on her debut at Leicester, that effort sets a clear form standard and improvement should be on the cards. Dark Angel Star shaped with promise at York on her racecourse bow and is perhaps the main danger, while market support for Starman filly Ophelia Grace would be noteworthy.

Dark Angel Star and CATCHING THE MOON both shaped well on debut and the selection could be open to the greater improvement.

14:40 Beverley (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

The vote goes to WOODY Y FERNANDEZ, who is officially 3lb well-in having been beaten a nose at Windsor latest. The extra yardage he encounters ought to suit Jennie Candlish's youngster and, with Warren Fentiman removing a handy 5lb, he is unlikely to be far away. Harswell River was just touched off at Thirsk last week and is entitled to plenty of respect on that evidence. Nursery debutant Lady Britain should not be overlooked either.

A low-grade event can go to WOODY Y FERNANDEZ, who has run well when placed in nurseries on last two starts.

15:12 Beverley (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Nigel Tinkler and Rowan Scott teamed up to land the corresponding event 12 months ago and they could repeat the dose courtesy of TENOR'S INN. A well-held third over 6f on his nursery debut, reverting to the minimum trip could suit the Soldier's Call gelding and, like most in here, he has time to do better. Haberdash holds obvious claims having struck the woodwork at Musselburgh. Others to note include Grey Horizon and Rum Therapy.

Haberdash looks set to go well but DINAMO paid the price for forcing a strong pace last time and can register a second win.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

15:47 Beverley (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Having recorded a C&D double last month, Without Flaw merits respect in her hat-trick bid. However, a 3lb higher rating and rise in class demands more and preference is for SOUTH SHORE. The four-year-old didn't enjoy the best of passages when runner-up at Bath 13 days ago and compensation could be on the cards. Jojo Rabbit and Herakles are others of interest.

Herakles should go well but the in-form filly WITHOUT FLAW (nap) is selected to complete a C&D hat-trick.

16:20 Beverley (Class 6) 16f Race Class Flow

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

RUPERT THE PRINCE relished a step up in distance when landing the spoils over 1m6f at Nottingham. The son of Golden Horn could have even more to come over this extra quarter-mile and a 3lb higher mark looks workable. Sea Master opened his account at Hamilton and may serve the most resistance to the selection, although neither Chillhi or Red Force One can be ruled out in their current heart.

A tricky staying handicap can go to RED FORCE ONE, who ran his best race of the year when winning at Musselburgh last time.

16:55 Beverley (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

PARK STREET was only beaten a length when finishing fourth over an extended 7f here and a belated fourth career victory could be on the cards. The son of New Approach found himself with too much to do after rearing at the start and a drop in class combined with the longer trip may prove fruitful. Mr Heinz has filled the runner-up spot on his last two outings and, off an unchanged mark, is forecast to be involved once more, along with Mrbluesky.

In a race that makes little appeal last year's C&D winner TEES GEORGE is taken to bounce back to form following a short break.

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.
