18:30 – Racing TV EBF Restricted Maiden Stakes (Bands B-D) (EBF Restricted Qual’) (GBB/IRE Incentive Race)
Race Details: 5f | Class 5 | Going: 7.0) (watering) (rail movements (Good to firm, good in places (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a fairly informative restricted maiden for the grade, even if the market rather revolves around one. Kentucky Rain sets the standard on the bare figures by a long way after showing useful form before a flop last time, and in a race lacking depth that gives him obvious authority. Isca Bay has already shown enough in two starts to think a race like this is within reach, while Concert Pitch brings the most solid exposed profile after a string of honest efforts. There are a few interesting newcomers in Perryston and Unbeatable Fame, but this sharp Beverley 5f can find them out if they are green. It is not the deepest maiden you’ll see, but it is not a complete penalty kick either.
Top Selections
1. Kentucky Rain – 4/7 with Bet365
Jockey: Rowan Scott | Trainer: Lemos De Souza | Form: 20 | Rating: 99 | Topspeed: 97
On the numbers, he should take a lot of beating. That opening second reads very well in the context of a race like this and, while the duck egg last time leaves a small question to answer, he is dropping into a restricted maiden where his rating of 99 and topspeed mark of 97 tower over these. He also gets in here with just 125, which certainly does not hurt around Beverley over the minimum trip. At 4/7 he is no secret, but sometimes the obvious one is simply the right one, and this looks one of those cases if he bounces back to his debut promise. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Concert Pitch – 8/1 with William Hill
Jockey: Ben Robinson | Trainer: Brian Ellison | Form: 32662 | Rating: 81 | Topspeed: 67
If you want to play against the short one from an each-way angle, Concert Pitch makes plenty of appeal. He has been busy, which is no bad thing in these juvenile sprints, and his form figures show a colt who keeps knocking on the door without quite landing the blow. The latest second says he is holding his level, and his 81 rating puts him right among the best of the rest behind the favourite. Drawn widest in 11 is not ideal, but he has the streetwise edge over most of these and 8/1 looks a fair each-way punt in a race where experience could count for plenty. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Kentucky Rain is the win bet because his best form simply dwarfs this field and this is a clear class drop in practical terms. For an each-way alternative, Concert Pitch looks the value play given his consistent profile and race fitness. Isca Bay is the obvious danger if progressing again, while Perryston is the newcomer to note if the market speaks positively.

19:00 – Happy Birthday Katie Exon Handicap
Race Details: 5f | Class 6 | Going: 7.0) (watering) (rail movements (Good to firm, good in places (goingstick) | | flat
This is a tight little sprint for the grade and not one where you can get away with a lazy shortlist. Plenty arrive with bits of recent form, headed by last-time-out winners Great, Beerwah, Toptime and Bibendum, while Level Up has been knocking loudly on the door without getting his head in front. Beverley’s sharp 5f can turn into a track-position scrap, so the draw and early pace will matter, but this also looks a race where current well-being could trump everything. Dream Deal is respected if bouncing back from a below-par seventh, and Dc Cogent has the raw speed figures to get involved, yet there are enough in-form rivals to make this a proper Class 6 puzzle rather than a gimme.
Top Selections
1. Level Up – 11/2 with Bet365
Jockey: P J McDonald | Trainer: David Evans | Form: 233522 | Rating: 78 | Topspeed: 62
He’s not hiding much from the handicapper, but this veteran is running well enough to suggest a race like this is within reach. Those recent figures of 233522 tell their own story: he keeps turning up, keeps travelling, and keeps giving himself a chance. In a race full of runners coming off isolated pops, there is something to be said for solid, repeatable form. P J McDonald is a positive booking around Beverley, and Level Up’s mark of 78 leaves him right in the thick of it on the figures. At 11/2 he looks a fair win play in a race where reliability counts for plenty.
Bet: WIN
2. Toptime – 9/1 with Bet365
Jockey: George Wood | Trainer: Roy Bowring | Form: 104-31 | Rating: 77 | Topspeed: 66
Toptime makes plenty of each-way appeal after returning from a break in good order and then building on that with a win last time. For an 8yo, he is clearly retaining enthusiasm, and that topspeed figure of 66 is one of the more persuasive numbers in this line-up. Drawn in 3, he should be able to get into a handy rhythm, which is no bad thing over the minimum trip here. He does not have the sexy profile of an improver, but this is Class 6 company and experienced sprinters often dominate these races when they hit a vein of form. Available at 9/1, he looks the value each-way punt.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Danger: Great is the obvious threat after winning last time and is entitled to plenty of respect at the head of the market.
Betting Strategy
Level Up is the main win bet because he brings the most convincing body of recent sprint form into the race. Toptime is the each-way alternative at a more attractive price, especially with three places on offer in a 10-runner field. Great is the one to fear most, while Dream Deal and Bibendum are others worth keeping onside in wider permutations.

19:30 – Skybet Go-Racing-In-Yorkshire Summer Festival Handicap
Race Details: 7f | Class 4 | Going: 7.0) (watering) (rail movements (Good to firm, good in places (goingstick) | | flat
This may be a five-runner handicap, but it is no gimme. All five are rated within a pound of each other, so the weights and how this is run matter plenty more than the bare figures. A War Eagle heads the market after a solid run of placed efforts and is clearly respected, while It Just Takes Time arrives in good heart after back-to-back runner-up and third-place finishes. Glenfinnan appeals as the one with the strongest recent piece of form, having gone very close last time, and he looks well suited by a sharp 7f on quick ground. Tattie Bogle and Coolree are not without hope at the weights, but this looks likely to be decided by which of the principals gets the run of the race rather than any hidden handicap blot. Tricky, yes, but not impossible to unpick.
Top Selections
1. Glenfinnan – 3/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Callum Rodriguez | Trainer: Michael Dods | Form: 771942 | Rating: 96 | Topspeed: 90
Glenfinnan gets the nod in a race where there is precious little between the main players on official figures. He posted a solid second last time and that run reads well in the context of this small-field tactical affair, especially as he now comes here with the joint-best recent Topspeed figure in the line-up. The inside draw could be a real asset around Beverley if Rodriguez is positive early, and Dods’ runner has the look of a horse who can cope with these quick conditions. At 3/1, he is not exactly hiding from the market, but he still makes more appeal than the shorter-priced pair because his profile is just a touch more solid for this setup. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple in a five-runner race: Glenfinnan is the win play and there is no each-way angle worth forcing. A War Eagle and It Just Takes Time are the obvious dangers, with the latter particularly interesting if this turns into more of a test of pace than position. But Glenfinnan looks the percentage call.

20:00 – Napoleons Casino And Restaurant Hull Handicap
Race Details: 7f | Class 6 | Going: 7.0) (watering) (rail movements (Good to firm, good in places (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a very ordinary Class 6, but that does not make it simple. King Sharja sets the standard on recent placed form and is the obvious starting point, though he did disappoint when favourite last time and is not one to trust blindly. African Spirit shaped with a bit more encouragement when third on his latest start and stall 1 could help if he gets a smooth trip around Beverley. Among the 3yo brigade, Walk On Walk On is the interesting one after going close last time, while Alice’s Influence has been knocking on the door without quite getting her head in front. Back From Dubai has bits of form that give him a squeak, but this feels like a race where recent sharpness and track position will count for plenty.
Top Selections
1. Walk On Walk On – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Ryan Sexton | Trainer: Noel Wilson | Form: 064052 | Rating: 64 | Topspeed: 51
He makes plenty of appeal in a race lacking solid, reliable profiles. That latest second suggested he is ready to strike, and a mark of 64 does not look beyond him given he is a 3yo still open to a bit more progress than most of these exposed older handicappers. Ryan Sexton knows how to ride this sort of race positively, and Walk On Walk On has the look of one who should be well suited by a sharp 7f around Beverley. At 9/2, he is not being missed, but he still looks the percentage call against rivals who come with more questions than answers. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. African Spirit – 10/3 with Bet365
Jockey: Cieren Fallon | Trainer: Ian Williams | Form: /8-783 | Rating: 66 | Topspeed: 27
He is hardly bombproof, but there was enough in that latest third to think he can get seriously involved here. Ian Williams does well with these handicappers when they begin to find their level, and African Spirit now drops into a modest enough contest from a mark of 66. The inside draw is a potential asset at Beverley if Cieren Fallon can hold a handy position rather than get shuffled back. He does not have the flashy profile of an improver, but this is not a race packed with depth and his latest effort at least hinted that a return to form is near. At 10/3, he is solid enough for an each-way play in a nine-runner field. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Walk On Walk On is the win play because he arrives on the back of the right sort of run and still has more upside than most. African Spirit is the each-way option, with stall 1 and his latest third giving him every chance of hitting the frame. King Sharja is the obvious danger if bouncing back, while Alice’s Influence is another with place claims in a weak race.

20:30 – Sky Bet For The Fans Classified Stakes
Race Details: 1m | Class 6 | Going: 7.0) (watering) (rail movements (Good to firm, good in places (goingstick) | | flat
This is hardly a deep classified, but it does look a fairly workable little race rather than a complete guessing game. The market is understandably focused on the two 60-rated runners Copper And Five and Inspiring Speeches, and both arrive with bits of recent form that put them right in the mix. Royal Sizzler adds a slightly more interesting angle as the sole 3yo in the line-up, getting weight from his older rivals and coming here off a better effort. Behind those, Elettaria is the one who could nick a place if things fall right, while several of the others look exposed and out of sorts. In a seven-runner race at Beverley, track position and getting the mile strongly are likely to matter plenty.
Top Selections
1. Inspiring Speeches – 13/8 with Bet365
Jockey: Tom Kiely Marshall | Trainer: Sara Ender | Form: 6-9534 | Rating: 60 | Topspeed: 45
He looks the solid one. That recent sequence suggests he has been knocking on the door in races of this nature, and a mark of 60 is enough to make him very competitive in this company. The draw in stall 1 could be a real asset around Beverley if Tom Kiely Marshall can hold a handy pitch, and there is not much in here with any upward momentum. Copper And Five has obvious claims too, but Inspiring Speeches is the one arriving with the more persuasive recent profile. At 13/8 he is no giveaway, yet in a weak Class 6 he still makes plenty of appeal as the likeliest winner. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Royal Sizzler – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Cieren Fallon | Trainer: Michael Dods | Form: 50-04 | Rating: 60 | Topspeed: 49
Royal Sizzler is the one at a slightly bigger price who makes some each-way sense, even in a race with only two places on offer. He gets in off 127lb as the only 3yo in the field, which is a notable edge against older, exposed handicappers in a modest classified like this. His latest fourth was a step back in the right direction after a quiet reappearance, and that Topspeed figure of 49 stacks up well enough here. Cieren Fallon is a positive booking and, if this turns tactical, the weight concession could be telling late on. Available at 9/2, he looks the value alternative to the front pair. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple: Inspiring Speeches is the win play in a race lacking depth, with his recent consistency giving him the strongest platform. Royal Sizzler is the each-way option at the better price, helped by the 3yo allowance and a more encouraging latest run. Copper And Five is the obvious danger and probably the one most likely to spoil the party.

21:00 – Racing Again Next Tuesday Handicap
Race Details: 1m 1f | Class 5 | Going: 7.0) (watering) (rail movements (Good to firm, good in places (goingstick) | | flat
This is a small-field handicap but not a straightforward one, with three last-time-out winners and a couple of unexposed 3yos trying to make their allowance count. Mwafaq arrives seeking the hat-trick and has looked in really good order for the Fahey yard, while Shimmering Sands has also put back-to-back wins together and is clearly thriving despite carrying top weight. Kitsune Power comes here off a win as well, though that effort needs backing up, and the younger pair Enamorus and Ziata both have bits of form that give them a squeak if this turns tactical. In a race lacking depth, it may simply come down to who gets the run of things, but Mwafaq looks the one with the strongest recent profile and the most persuasive upside.
Top Selections
1. Mwafaq – 11/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Ethan Tindall | Trainer: Richard & Peter Fahey | Form: -15211 | Rating: 78 | Topspeed: 67
Mwafaq is hard to oppose on the evidence of his last two starts, arriving here on the back of successive wins and looking like a horse who has hit his stride now. A mark of 78 still looks workable given the way he has been finishing his races, and his Topspeed figure of 67 is the best on offer in this field, which matters in a tight little contest like this. Ethan Tindall knows him, Fahey’s runners often do well in these northern handicaps, and at 11/4 he makes more appeal than some of these older rivals who may now be closer to their ceiling. He looks the solid option rather than a flashy one, but solid may be enough here.
Bet: WIN
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple in a five-runner race: Mwafaq is the win bet. There is no each-way angle worth forcing in a field this small. Shimmering Sands is the obvious danger after his own recent double, while Enamorus is the one who could step forward if the 3yo allowance bites, but the percentage call is to side with the in-form Fahey runner.
