UK Horse Racing Tips: Beverley

Broctune Red has strong claims on the form of his half-length third over this trip at Newcastle last month and he is able to race off a 5lb lower mark now back on grass. However, his record of just one win from 24 starts on turf tempers enthusiasm and preference is for WESTERN BEAT, who went close off a 1lb higher perch over this C&D on her penultimate outing and she seems to like it here. Star Start got within half a length of landing a 1m2f double at Leicester on his latest outing and should play a leading role again, despite going up 4lb for that effort.
Prediction : 1st Western Beat 2nd Broctune Red 3rd Star Start

MIDDLESEX caught the eye picking up well for third after being outpaced on debut over a similar trip at Wolverhampton and, with that experience under her belt, Charlie Johnston's filly is fancied to improve past Really Darn Hot to score here. The latter was a couple of lengths ahead of the selection in second that day but subsequently failed to land a serious blow at Lingfield and was soundly beaten on her sole turf start, albeit in a much tougher race than this. Nina Rapida has shown signs of ability in two 7f outings and should appreciate this step up in trip.
Prediction : 1st Middlesex 2nd Nina Rapida 3rd Really Darn Hot

Pontefract winner ZIGGY'S CONDOR filled the runner-up berth in a competitive sales race over 6f at York before finishing third over the same C&D 16 days ago, form which has been boosted by the fourth scoring since. This looks easier and he is fancied to make the drop in trip a winning one, possibly at the main expense of Gladly Ever After, who also finished ahead of a subsequent winner when third over a furlong further at Windsor last time. Circus Lion only found one too good at Redcar last Monday and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Ziggys Condor 2nd Gladly Ever After 3rd Circus Lion

Korker (14th) retains ability and holds a reasonable chance of returning to winning ways. However, he also has a habit of fluffing the start and was a long way adrift of Looking For Lynda (eighth) when they clashed at York last month. Nevertheless, this is a drop in class for MARINE WAVE, who was placed in the Arran Stakes at Ayr last week and is hard to oppose with the age and sex allowances boosting her claims.
Prediction : 1st Marine Wave 2nd Looking For Lynda 3rd Korker

Conde sets a respectable standard and, given this is easier than the class 2 nursery he contested at Goodwood last time, he can go well from a handy draw on his first run since being gelded. Scottish Reel is also considered, as he is entitled to be wiser after his introduction at Thirsk 25 days ago. Nevertheless, ARCTIC SUNRISE, a 200,000gns purchase, holds a more appealing pedigree given that her dam is a half-sister to Alexander Goldrun, and she won't need to be out of the ordinary to win this on her racecourse bow.
Prediction : 1st Arctic Sunrise 2nd Conde 3rd Scottish Reel

Autumn Festival took this race last season for David O'Meara and races off 1lb lower in the handicap now. He hasn't been at his best recently but if first-time cheekpieces help, he may go close. UGO GREGORY likes it here with four wins over C&D, one off this mark and one off 2lb higher, and he may make it five after a solid second at Chester last time out. Zozimus arrives in good form and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Ugo Gregory 2nd Autumn Festival 3rd Zozimus

Hostelry has every chance of landing her hat-trick here despite being put up 4lb for her recent Carlisle success, with Christian Howarth claiming 5lb in the saddle. She can go close with a clear run, but a chance is taken on the younger PREMIERSHIP. He kept on well to win at Yarmouth before failing to see out 1m2f when third at Ripon, but may get back to winning ways over this trip. She's Got Bottle and Poet's Dawn both like it here and are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Premiership 2nd Hostelry 3rd Shes Got Bottle
