UK Horse Racing Tips: Beverley

PYTHAGORAS ran a big race on debut when only beaten a neck at Ayr and the Zoffany colt pushed a more experienced winner all the way to the line on that occasion. There could be more to come from Richard Fahey's youngster at a course the handler does well with his two-year-olds. Saeed Bin Suroor has a strong hand in opposition with both the eye-catching newcomer Final Thought and potential improver Last Light. Full Marks is also noted following a pleasing run to finish third at Lingfield last time.
Prediction : 1st Pythagoras 2nd Final Thought 3rd Full Marks

JAMAIS ASSEZ was only beaten a neck over this trip at Ayr when last seen and providing he handles the much faster conditions forecast here, could be a factor at the finish off a 3lb higher mark. Course-and-distance winner Proud Archi appears the pick of Michael Dods' pair, while Rousayan was second here on his penultimate outing and Roger Fell's track-and-trip scorer is always dangerous at this venue.
Prediction : 1st Jamais Assez 2nd Rousayan 3rd Proud Archi

SOUND OF DUBAI rattled the crossbar over course and distance on debut last week and it might not take much improvement to see Karl Burke's Estidhkaar colt get off the mark at the second attempt. Billian wasn't far behind in third on that occasion and is unlikely to be far away, while Ey Up It's Maggie outran her odds of 66/1 when third in a competitive York event on her introduction and can't be discounted. Tatsthewaytodoit is worthy of a market check, along with First Company, who appears the pick of the newcomers.
Prediction : 1st Sound Of Dubai 2nd Ey Up Its Maggie 3rd Billian

INVINCIBLE BERTIE finished third on his first run of the year at Ripon last month and Nigel Tinkler's gelding could step forward from that effort despite having a wider draw than ideal. Independence Day wasn't at his best when a beaten favourite at Wolverhampton last week but the return to a classified event is likely to aid her cause, while Newgate Angel and Chillon Castle appeal most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Invincible Bertie 2nd Independence Day 3rd Newgate Angel

SHEPHERDS WAY bounced back to form when scoring in decent fashion on her return to turf at Haydock last month and a 7lb rise from the handicapper might not be enough to stop her from progressing again. Ginger Jam is unbeaten in four C&D appearances so warrants the utmost respect having been dropped 2lb since his latest start, while Line Of Reason is still capable of being in the mix despite his advancing years.
Prediction : 1st Shepherds Way 2nd Ginger Jam 3rd Line Of Reason

UNION SPIRIT (was also engaged to run at Haydock on Tuesday) made it two wins on the bounce when scoring over C&D last month as he benefited plenty from the change to front-running tactics and the step up in trip. He received an 8lb hike for his latest victory but there is every chance the gelding could have further progression to come and gets the nod to go in again. Al Khabeer didn't appear to quite see out 1m4f at Pontefract on handicap debut so the drop in distance is likely to suit, while Jaaizah looks capable of taking a step forward based on what he has achieved in three starts to date.
Prediction : 1st Union Spirit 2nd Al Khabeer 3rd Jaaizah

PHOENIX APPROACH and Puckle both arrive on the back of course-and-distance victories and they could fight it out for the gold medal, with slight preference for the former, who won with enough in hand to suggest that he can defy a 6lb penalty. Mark Johnston's charge was made to work harder for her success but should also go well under a 6lb penalty, while the dropped-in-trip Luck On Sunday might prove best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Phoenix Approach 2nd Puckle 3rd Luck On Sunday

There was certainly no fluke about HUA MULAN's 16/1 victory over course and distance last time and a 6lb penalty probably won't be enough to anchor her if arriving in the same mood. Top Attraction looks to be improving all the time and warrants respect on his first start beyond 1m, while Araka Li and Vampish also have place credentials.
Prediction : 1st Hua Mulan 2nd Top Attraction 3rd Araka Li

Haida Gwaii represents last year's winning stable and makes plenty of appeal on her handicap debut, but KESARINA gets the vote hailing from a yard that boast an impressive 25 per cent strike-rate with their past runners at this venue. The Medicean filly looks to be improving all the time and this step up in trip could potentially unlock another gear. Let Her Loose completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Kesarina 2nd Haida Gwaii 3rd Let Her Loose
