UK Horse Racing Tips: Beverley

Strangerontheshore needs a career best off her new mark, but she has won two of her three starts over this C&D, including last time out off 6lb lower, and still warrants serious consideration. With the David O'Meara string in good form it may be worth chancing HEAD CHEF here after he cruised up to the lead at Ripon before finishing second. He may go one better if he is held up even longer to deliver a decisive challenge, leaving Cosmic Power as an interesting alternative on his second start after wind surgery.
Prediction : 1st Head Chef 2nd Strangerontheshore 3rd Cosmic Power

Bamboo Bay and Cappoquin have raced prominently before and whoever decides to make the running may get an easy time of it, with the majority likely to be held up for a late challenge. CAPTAIN KANE carries a 6lb penalty for an easy win at Yarmouth last week and he might be able to follow up, while the lightly-raced Golden Keeper got off the mark over C&D earlier this month and the son of Pivotal could have more to offer.
Prediction : 1st Captain Kane 2nd Golden Keeper 3rd Bamboo Bay

A low draw is seen as a big bonus here over this trip and that seems to suggest that RUSSET GOLD could be the one they have to beat from the two stall. Weakening on his first two starts over 6f, he was dropped back to this trip at Pontefract to take his maiden very easily and Roger Varian's colt is likely to have more to offer. Beautiful Aisling won over C&D last time and is not to be ignored, while Not For Profit and Greenroad are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Russet Gold 2nd Beautiful Aisling 3rd Not For Profit

SUGAR BABY is in the form of his life at present and the hat-trick looks very much on the cards for the son of Monsieur Bond. The four-year-old can overcome a 4lb rise for a comfortable success at Musselburgh and see off the likes of The Grey Lass, who wasn't beaten far at Ripon, and Tiberio Smile, who has yet to get off the mark in 10 starts. Dapper Man can also have a say in proceedings.
Prediction : 1st Sugar Baby 2nd The Grey Lass 3rd Tiberio Smile

This can go the way of FORESEEABLE FUTURE, who continues to go from strength to strength and looks capable of bringing up the hat-trick for his in-form connections. Hot Scoop arrives with similar claims after a convincing success at Catterick and he must enter calculations along with C&D winner Zoom Star. Excessable (also engaged to run at Thirsk on Friday) may have a long losing streak to overcome, but he is another to note off a dropping handicap mark.
Prediction : 1st Foreseeable Future 2nd Hot Scoop 3rd Zoom Star

Serious Look made a pleasing start to his racing career when securing a good third over this trip at Newcastle and he remains of interest on his turf debut. However, preference is for the Charlie and Mark Johnston-trained DOWALLY, who drops in trip having been outdone on her racecourse bow. She finished a neck behind the winner at Kempton earlier this month and is entitled to improve further in this. Bush Rose boasts an appealing pedigree and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Dowally 2nd Serious Look 3rd Bush Rose

A drop in class could see Bit Of A Quirke improve following a disappointing run at Ripon over 1m4f, but he could struggle off top weight. Therefore, preference is for the Paul Midgley-trained DR RIO, who kept on well for third on his most recent outing over an extended mile here earlier this month. A step up in trip looks set to suit based on that, while Your Love Is King may benefit from the application of first-time cheekpieces.
Prediction : 1st Dr Rio 2nd Bit Of A Quirke 3rd Your Love Is King
