Good Value
TrackLab Insight
The race favourite and the editorial team's top pick, drawn in stall one which is the best position at this course and distance — low draws win at nearly twice the rate of high draws here at Beverley over 5f. She won at Wetherby 16 days ago, but her record on good, dry ground is zero wins from eight attempts, which is the one nagging concern about her prospects today.
Market favourite (5.0)
Good Value
TrackLab Insight
Has the best career win rate in the field — winning roughly 1 in every 6 races — and is also the horse with the strongest record at today's 5f trip, winning twice from eight attempts at this distance. The worry is a clean record of no wins from five races on good, dry ground, which is exactly what she faces today.
Best record at this trip (2 from 8)
Best career win rate in field (1 in 6)
TrackLab Insight
Arrives here in the hottest form in the field — a win followed by a second-place finish in his last two races — and his jockey Jason Hart has been riding well too, landing 2 from 10 in the past two weeks, the best recent record among jockeys in this race. The drawback is a high draw in stall 11, the worst part of the track at this distance, and no wins from five races on good dry ground.
Jockey in best form (2 from 10 last 2wk)
Good Value
TrackLab Insight
One of only a handful of course winners in this field, which matters at Beverley where knowing the track helps. Ran a solid third last time out, beaten just half a length, and the editorial team have picked this as their second choice — though 60 days off the track means we need it to hit the ground running.
One of few course winners (1 wins here)
Trainer Quotes
Aug 2025
"He hit the ground running and showed loads of speed over 6f at Thirsk, so the natural progression was to bring him back to 5f and he was very genuine when he won at Beverley. He ran a solid second at Pontefract but may have banged his head on the stalls next time - he missed the start completely and it took him quite a while to get over that. He's better than how he ran at Beverley last time. 14-08-25"
TrackLab Insight
The standout fact here is remarkable: two wins from just four races at Beverley, making this horse the most effective course specialist in the entire field. The concern is that both those wins came on soft, wet ground, and she has never won on good, dry conditions across six attempts — today's dry surface puts that record firmly in the spotlight.
Course specialist (2 wins from 4 here)
TrackLab Insight
Only one win from 23 races makes this one of the more lightly decorated horses in the field, but a close second at Thirsk just 24 days ago shows he is in decent shape. His record at this 5f to 6.5f range is the strongest part of his profile, yet he has never won on good or fast dry ground, which counts against him today.
Among the fancied runners (7.8)
TrackLab Insight
The most experienced horse in the race with 50 career outings, and crucially has the best record in the field on today's dry ground, winning 2 from 9 on similar conditions. The result of his most recent run at Pontefract 13 days ago is unknown from the data, which makes it hard to read his current form with confidence.
Best record on this ground (2 from 9)
TrackLab Insight
Five career wins from 48 races tells you this is a well-travelled horse, but he has never won in five visits to Beverley and has a poor record on tracks of this type. Drifted out to 17-1 in the market, and recent finishes of seventh and fifth do not suggest a win is imminent.
One of the more successful in the field (5 career wins)
TrackLab Insight
Has been placed in two of its last three races, including a near-miss at Pontefract beaten less than a length, so the form is ticking along. The big concern is that both career wins came on soft or wet ground, and today's dry conditions have beaten this horse in eight attempts without a win — that is a significant red flag at this track.
Placed in 2 of last 3 races
TrackLab Insight
Arrives here as one of the field's course winners and is the most recently winning horse in the race, scoring at Nottingham just 24 days ago. However, that win came after two badly beaten efforts, and her record on fast, dry ground at right-handed sharp tracks like Beverley gives cause for pause.
One of few course winners (1 wins here)
TrackLab Insight
Carries the lowest weight in the field and is rated 6lbs below the field average, which in a race like this means the handicapper has given it every chance on paper. However, four consecutive fourth-place or worse finishes, a poor record on dry ground, and a big price of 25-1 suggest the market does not see this as a winning opportunity.

How do odds work?
The first number is what you win, the second is what you bet. So 5/2 means you win £5 for every £2. 4/1 means you win £4 for every £1. The bigger the first number, the less likely bookmakers think the horse will win — but the more you'd win if it does.
