UK Horse Racing Tips: Beverley

Despite failing to justify odds-on favouritism, BRUCE BANNER still ran with lots of credit when only finding one too good over C&D recently. He has been raised 1lb to 56 for that effort, but is able to compete here from just 54 and he could take full advantage. Havachoc remains on a competitive mark and is a player based on his second at Newcastle two starts ago, while C&D winner Sisterandbrother is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Bruce Banner 2nd Havachoc 3rd Sisterandbrother

FAST TRACK wasn't able to land a blow when well beaten in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot, but she now drops back into novice company and sets the standard with an official rating of 86. Viking Barbie has progressed with each of her three starts, most recently filling the runner-up spot at Sandown, and she has to be taken seriously. Nightbloom cost a pretty penny and will be of interest if the market speaks in her favour.
Prediction : 1st Fast Track 2nd Viking Barbie 3rd Nightbloom

Emperor Spirit took the silver medal home at Ascot prior to being well beaten in the Dash at Epsom, but it would be no surprise to see him bounce straight back under Silvestre De Sousa. Even so, MON NA SLIEVE looks the way to go. Kevin Ryan's charge showed more when finishing a close third at Hamilton last week and can build on that. Recent Redcar victor I'm Next isn't ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Mon Na Slieve 2nd Emperor Spirit 3rd Im Next

This ought to concern NEPAL and Midnight Strike, with the former looking the safer option. Ivan Furtado's new recruit won a handicap out in Bahrain in January before coming up short at Listed level and has less to prove than Midnight Strike, who will need the combination of a tongue-tie and cheekpieces to prompt something of a revival. Catton Lady and Blufferonthebus have plenty to find on official ratings and might only be playing for third.
Prediction : 1st Nepal 2nd Midnight Strike 3rd Catton Lady

Amber Hamur has posted a couple of relatively encouraging efforts in handicaps on the all-weather, but her pedigree suggests she'll come into her own on the grass so she is worth a second look ahead of her first start for Ed Bethell. Mali Star's latest Bath effort can be excused as he failed to see out 10 furlongs, but HATAMOTO can break his duck. Tim Easterby's gelding was only reeled in late when attempting to make all at Ripon and it's possible he'll be able to dictate again so compensation might be on the cards.
Prediction : 1st Hatamoto 2nd Amber Hamur 3rd Mali Star

Travis had Reginald Charles (second) and JESMOND DAWN (third) in arrears at Redcar, although the last-named probably didn't have the best track position given that the others pulled clear on the far side. He does have a bit to find with the pair, but this stiff finish should be right up his street and Oli Stammers knows him very well. Last year's winner Sunny Orange is no forlorn hope either.
Prediction : 1st Jesmond Dawn 2nd Travis 3rd Reginald Charles
