UK Horse Racing Tips: Beverley

CLOUD FREE makes a fair amount of appeal on his debut, being a full-brother to a Group 2 winner in Italy, and the 55,000gns purchase gets the vote to make a winning start to his career. Catena wasn't disgraced when fifth here on her first outing and she is entitled to progress from that display, while Sahara Kitten and Mister Daydream appeal most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Cloud Free 2nd Catena 3rd Sahara Kitten

SUB ROSA stepped forward from her return at Haydock when beaten a short-head in second at Lingfield earlier in the month. Roger Varian's filly had run with promise on her sole juvenile outing, when fourth to subsequent Nell Gwyn heroine Mammas Girl at Newmarket, and this appears to be a suitable opportunity for her to shed the maiden tag. Cori Glory may well be suited by a return to a right-handed track following her recent third at Thirsk and she is likely to be the main threat. Queen Of Sparta completes the shortlist having shaped with some encouragement on debut at Wolverhampton.
Prediction : 1st Sub Rosa 2nd Cori Glory 3rd Queen Of Sparta

HOW BIZARRE is 3lb higher than for his success at Musselburgh earlier last month, but he had produced some solid efforts in defeat until finishing last in a Catterick claimer on his latest star and he is given a chance to bounce back here in a contest where the majority of his rivals have something to prove. Na Scoitear is expected to be in the mix after finishing third at Wetherby last week, with Cheese The One and Krystal Maze others worth considering.
Prediction : 1st How Bizarre 2nd Na Scoitear 3rd Cheese The One

SPRING IS SPRUNG has posted a couple of decent efforts since returning to the minimum trip. The latest of those, which came from a 1lb higher mark in a warm 0-105 at York last month, would suggest he can mount a serious challenge in these calmer waters. Hiya Maite continues to run well and he appeals as a likely candidate once again, while Embour has dropped to a workable mark and must be considered on the back of a short break.
Prediction : 1st Spring Is Sprung 2nd Hiya Maite 3rd Embour

Only narrowly denied on both of his starts for Michael Appleby, Beltane should go close once again, while Crown Princess, who hit the woodwork over C&D 20 days ago, appeals as a likely player from an unchanged mark. A chance, however, can be taken on BUNGLEY, who has yet to run a poor race around here from three efforts. Tim Easterby's filly is now 2lb lower than when successful at Thirsk in August and the daughter of Bungle Inthejungle could make the most of her low draw.
Prediction : 1st Bungley 2nd Beltane 3rd Crown Princess

In this competitive contest marginal preference goes to URBAN ROAD, who landed a first victory on turf over C&D last time out. Despite hanging right in the closing stages, the four-year-old kept on well and gets the nod to defy a 3lb rise. Clotherholme gave a good account when third over seven furlongs last time out at Catterick and he can go close stepping back up in trip, while Galton is capable on his day and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Urban Road 2nd Clotherholme 3rd Galton

SUN FESTIVAL justified favouritism in decisive style last time out at Brighton, putting two lengths between himself and his next best rival. The five-year-old gelding has only been handed a 1lb rise for that win and gets the nod to repeat that feat. Irv found plenty of trouble last time out at Ripon and may be able to take a step forward with a clear passage. Dandy's Angel landed the spoils over course and distance on her latest outing and she completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Sun Festival 2nd Irv 3rd Dandys Angel
