UK Horse Racing Tips: Beverley

An interesting race to get things underway on the Westwood, in which a chance is taken on CLASSY CLARETS. The son of Cotai Glory might prefer further in time but there are sprinters in his pedigree and, despite a wide berth, he can give Richard Fahey a third win in this novice event in as many years. Chumbaa shaped with promise on his racecourse debut when third at Southwell and is likely to step forward. Others to note include Scoops Ahoy and Macedonian King.
Prediction : 1st Classy Clarets 2nd Chumbaa 3rd Scoops Ahoy

The Charlie Johnston-team has been in terrific form of late, as has stable jockey Joe Fanning, and LADY SHOWCASING could provide the pair with more success. A half-sister to the Listed-placed Union Court, she shouldn't be short of speed and is, perhaps crucially, drawn low. Charged Up outran his odds to finish a good third in the Brocklesby and must be feared. It's not often Newmarket handler Kevin Philippart De Foy sends one to Beverley so Reve D'etoiles has to be given more than a cursory glance.
Prediction : 1st Lady Showcasing 2nd Charged Up 3rd Reve Detoiles

It's been a while since COUNT D'ORSAY managed to get his head in front but having tumbled down the handicap, it might be worth giving him another chance. Tim Easterby's sprinter is berthed well in stall two and is likely to appreciate a strong gallop, so this race could be tailor-made for him if able to rediscover some of his earlier spark. Dandy Dinmont arrives on the back of two seconds at Newcastle and looks set to go well again, along with Night On Earth, who can play a leading role back on the turf. Others to note include Music Society, Mr Beaufort and King Of Tonga.
Prediction : 1st Count DOrsay 2nd Dandy Dinmont 3rd Night On Earth

VETIVER confirmed the promise of her debut Chepstow second when breaking her maiden at the second time of asking over an extended 7f at this track in September, and she can pick up where she left off on her return to the fray. The Andrew Balding-trained filly likely has plenty more in her locker. Samagon and Deferred rate her most serious dangers as they switch to turf, although Mount King showed ability when with Joseph O'Brien in Ireland.
Prediction : 1st Vetiver 2nd Samagon 3rd Deferred

Luna Effect makes his handicap bow following a disappointing run on the all-weather in November, but he has been gelded since and and can improve stepping back up in trip. It could still pay to side with FLASH BARDOT, who makes her turf debut following a game win in a novice contest over this distance at Lingfield last month and she must hold every chance of following up. Duke Of Wybourne was only narrowly denied at Newcastle and is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Flash Bardot 2nd Luna Effect 3rd Duke Of Wybourne

This represents a drop in class for TWO BROTHERS, who finished an encouraging fourth over this trip at Doncaster on his return to action. He retains the mark from that run and is expected to step forward, although Big Cheese remains unexposed and can give him plenty to think about on the back of a promising Pontefract second. Sugarpiehoneybunch has to shoulder a 5lb penalty following a comfortable win at Catterick, but won't give up on the hat-trick without a fight.
Prediction : 1st Two Brothers 2nd Big Cheese 3rd Sugarpiehoneybunch

HALE END was getting the hang of things towards the back end of last season and his most recent effort, when third on his handicap debut at Newmarket, was a sign that there are races to be won with him this year. He has since moved from Richard Hannon to the Michael Dods yard and has been gelded, and is taken to see off handicap debutant Abbadia and Pearl Eye, who didn't get the best of runs at Wolverhampton on his comeback.
Prediction : 1st Hale End 2nd Pearl Eye 3rd Abbadia

This can go the way of SHE'S GOT BOTTLE, who is unbeaten in two starts here and finished last season with a highly creditable second over further at Redcar. Soft ground should be of no inconvenience either and she is narrowly preferred to top-weight Golden Melody, who was a promising third on her return at Doncaster. Glory And Gold and Miss Calculation are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
Prediction : 1st Shes Got Bottle 2nd Golden Melody 3rd Glory And Gold
