UK Horse Racing Tips: Beverley

PAPA COCKTAIL completed a hat-trick at Carlisle over 6f last month and Stella Barclay's strong traveller could have enough speed to gain a first success over 5f here, despite a further 3lb rise. Le Beau Garcon returned to form when staying on into third at Catterick last Friday and this C&D winner is feared most, ahead of Majeski Man, who arrives in fine form as he seeks to land a three-timer.
Prediction : 1st Papa Cocktail 2nd Le Beau Garcon 3rd Majeski Man

The market should prove informative in this contest full of newcomers, with a tentative vote going to SPIRITUAL PURSUIT. The daughter of Invincible Spirit is a sister to the progressive Croupier and Archie Watson's two-year-old makes most appeal on paper. Beveragino ticks plenty of boxes on her pedigree and is another to note in the betting, with Modern Verse possibly best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Spiritual Pursuit 2nd Beveragino 3rd Modern Verse

THE PREDICTOR finished a fine fourth in the Chester Plate last month and a similar level of performance may see the Richard Fahey-trained gelding gain a first success of the season. However, there are dangers aplenty, headed by recent scorer World Without Love. The daughter of Ulysses justified strong support when triumphant at Carlisle last Thursday and a 4lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid. Fellow last-time-out winners Geremia and Blow Your Horn also enter calculations.
Prediction : 1st The Predictor 2nd World Without Love 3rd Geremia

DICKIEBURD posted a mighty effort in the 3YO Dash at Epsom eight days ago, finishing third, so Craig Lidster's charge ought to hold every chance from just 1lb higher in the handicap today. This is fiercely competitive, though, with recent winners Another Baar and Quandary likely to make their presence felt. Star Of Lady M has yet to replicate her juvenile form but she's berthed well in stall one and first-time cheekpieces could hold the key to her. Others to note include Desert Games and Thankuappreciate.
Prediction : 1st Dickieburd 2nd Another Baar 3rd Quandary

Dubai Crystal hit the woodwork at Ascot (soft) on her latest outing and the unexposed daughter of Fastnet Rock would be a major player if handling the quicker ground conditions today. Preference, however, is for REACH. Fourth in a warm York handicap at last month's Dante meeting, the five-year-old took full advantage of a drop in class when winning at Nottingham a week ago. The return to deeper waters and a 5lb penalty might not be enough to stop her and she edges the vote. My Little Queens, Leitzel and top-weight Tregony are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Reach 2nd Dubai Crystal 3rd My Little Queens

Assuming the cheekpieces continue to have a positive effect, this highly-competitive handicap could go the way of MAYWAKE, who wasn't beaten far with the new headgear introduced in a similar contest at York last month. The Cookstown Cafu, an old rival of the selection, is another with solid claims on these terms, while recent Epsom scorer Austrian Theory and Autumn Festival, who is already a dual C&D winner, also look live dangers here.
Prediction : 1st Maywake 2nd The Cookstown Cafu 3rd Austrian Theory

Eeetee is versatile and has arguably faced stiffer tests than the one he tackles today, so warrant serious consideration. However, he is yet to race over this far and, off 5lb higher than his recent Redcar success, he could be worth taking on today. With his stamina more assured, the equally in-form THE NU FORM WAY strikes as a more attractive proposition. He is a previous course winner and still has scope, despite creeping up the weights. Tigerten and Fairmac complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st The Nu Form Way 2nd Eeetee 3rd Tigerten
