UK Horse Racing Tips: Beverley

KHABIB was only beaten a length when second in a similar event at Thirsk recently and the consistent six-year-old merits plenty of respect off the same mark here. Scoops Ahoy also hit the crossbar on his most recent outing and could prove to be the main threat to the selection, although Majeski Man and Rock Of England should not be discounted.
Prediction : 1st Khabib 2nd Scoops Ahoy 3rd Majeski Man

STAY IN THE GAME has improved with each start to date and only found one too good on his most recent outing in a novice event over C&D in April. An opening mark of 80 should be workable and the three-year-old just gets the vote. Glistening Nights scored over this track and trip 11 days ago and has to be of interest off just 3lb higher, while Touch The Moon completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Stay In The Game 2nd Glistening Nights 3rd Touch The Moon

Neoma has to be respected following her encouraging debut effort at Kempton a couple of weeks ago, but marginal preference is for MANDANA. The daughter of Persian King showed plenty of ability when third on her racecourse bow in July and confirmed that promise when second at Haydock last time. Surprised is closely related to plenty of winners and merits a market inspection.
Prediction : 1st Mandana 2nd Neoma 3rd Surprised

In a relatively small field, the draw may not be as important as it can be here and the vote goes to AMERJEET. Archie Watson's gelding looked to have a bit in hand when winning at Lingfield last month and although he's upped in class off a 5lb higher mark, there may be improvement to come. Educating Rita is an obvious danger dropping back to this trip and she won't be too far away, leaving the dropped-in-class Mission Command to chase them home.
Prediction : 1st Amerjeet 2nd Educating Rita 3rd Mission Command

LINCOLN ROCKSTAR seems an obvious pick having won twice over this C&D this year, as well as two wins and two seconds elsewhere since. He was all out to win by a nose last time and may need another career-best effort here, but arrives at the top of his game and is hard to ignore. Monsieur Melee has been running well without success recently and may have to settle for another silver medal, leaving Open Secret and Elemental Eye to battle it out for third.
Prediction : 1st Lincoln Rockstar 2nd Monsieur Melee 3rd Open Secret

Shimmering Sands is already a winner at Beverley, but that was over 1m2f and he may have to settle for a place dropping back in trip. SHALADAR has won off a higher mark in the past and showed signs of a return to form when beaten less then two lengths into fourth at Carlisle last time, so his chance is clear racing off 2lb lower here. Etretat and Assessment are others to consider in a trappy contest.
Prediction : 1st Shaladar 2nd Shimmering Sands 3rd Etretat
