UK Horse Racing Tips: Beverley

TANTALUS has hit the crossbar the last twice, with the latest of those efforts coming at Wetherby over an extended 5f. He has been left on the same mark and is fancied to go one place better to shed his maiden tag. Insolente struck in a C&D seller two starts ago and could play a hand in the finish, while Global Effort competes off a career-low mark and would be foolish to dismiss.
Prediction : 1st Tantalus 2nd Insolente 3rd Global Effort

SHADAN JOY showed plenty of promise on debut at Lingfield, only being denied by an odds-on favourite from the Godolphin camp, and she would have learned a great deal from the experience. With improvement forthcoming, Charlie Johnston's filly could prove very tough to beat. The main threat might be Misemerald, who shaped well over 6f at Carlisle, although any market support for newcomers Eminny and Highland Well should be respected.
Prediction : 1st Shadan Joy 2nd Misemerald 3rd Eminny

Gone has been in splendid form this year, winning four of her seven starts, and she warrants plenty of respect off the same mark as when touched off at Hamilton last week. However, TARTAN SKIRT appeals as a type trainer David O'Meara does well with and she could take the necessary step forward on only her second start for the yard. Ey Up Its The Boss is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Tartan Skirt 2nd Gone 3rd Ey Up Its The Boss

KIARAAD offered plenty to work with when second on his debut at Lingfield earlier in the month and any improvement could make the son of Havana Grey tough to beat. Hondo ran with more encouragement when fourth at Thirsk last week and he can't be discounted, while Camusdarach may prove more competitive now returned to maiden company and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Kiaraad 2nd Hondo 3rd Camusdarach

VALLEY OF FLOWERS once again found only one rival too strong at Ripon last Thursday and she looks likely to pick up a race of this nature sooner or later. The five-year-old makes most appeal, ahead of Smart Lass, who has been hitting some form of late and is back down to a dangerous mark. Isle of Wolves reverts to turf and is another who can't be discounted off his current rating.
Prediction : 1st Valley Of Flowers 2nd Smart Lass 3rd Isle of Wolves

Bashful recorded arguably a career-best performance when supplementing a Hamilton triumph at Newcastle last week and he must enter calculations turned out quickly under a penalty. Preference, however, is for Charlie Johnston's lightly-raced BOBBY'S BLESSING, who makes his handicap debut off what looks a workable mark. Westernesse and Shine On Brendan both arrive in fine fettle and also warrant consideration in an open event.
Prediction : 1st Bobbys Blessing 2nd Bashful 3rd Westernesse

Timedtoperfection is worth a second look off this mark, despite her maiden status, with the Fahey yard in decent form. She might appreciate the step up in trip, but may have to settle for a place if RED FORT makes the most of a drop in grade following his encouraging Haydock third off 1lb higher. Cantalupo Bella is also of interest if she can repeat the level of form that carried her into third at Wolverhampton two starts ago.
Prediction : 1st Red Fort 2nd Timedtoperfection 3rd Cantalupo Bella

Little Roman won off this mark at Kempton in January and although beaten twice since, he returns from a three-month break and may do better for it. Future Times and Ski Jump are others for the shortlist, but LINCOLN ROCKSTAR gets the vote. A winner at Redcar in September last year for the Johnstons, she has her first start for David O'Meara now and if a change of scenery brings her back to her best, top weight may not be enough to stop her.
Prediction : 1st Lincoln Rockstar 2nd Little Roman 3rd Future Times
