Beverley and Yarmouth

very low level racing this afternoon at Beverley and Yarmouth, and the likelihood of testing ground, especially at the former track, makes finding winners difficult. 8yo Master Nimbus /John Quinn/ Graham Gibbons) has been very consistent over the years both on the fla ad over hurdles and also handles the ground; he seems the safest option in the 1 1/2 mile handicap at 16.05 at Beverley and perhaps his trainer and jockey can follow up in the 5 furlongs handicap for 2yo´s at 16.40 with top-weight Fivefootnumberone. At Yarmouth, jockey Pat Cosgrave could be the man to follow. He has several promising rides, includng two for Luca Cuani - Magaling in the 2yo maiden at 15.20 and easy last-time-out course winner Siren Party in the fillies handicap at 15.55, while Rain Stops Play, for trainer Mick Quinn, although below form all recent starts, has come down a lot in the weights and can spring a surprise in the mile handicap at 16.30
