Beverly and Kempton

Today´s other two flat fixtures are very modest by comparison with Newmarket. Easily the best race at Beverly is the 5 furlongs handicap at 16.10 CET. We should know by the time the race is run how the effect of the draw will be, but normally high numbers have a huge advantage here, especially in large fields over this trip. In this case, punters should be wary of backing any runner drawn lower than 10. David Nicholls has 4 runners here, of whom Manzila (Andrew Mullen, drawn 12) could prove best, while the bottom-weights Bo McGinty (Richard Fahey/ Paul Hanagan, drawn 14) and Timber Treasure (Paul Green/ Frannie Norton, drawn 17 of 17) are both well-drawn CD winners who should go well.

Betting forecast Beverley:
1. Race: Jack My Boy - Sharp Eclipse - Strange Fiction
2. Race: Herbert Crescent - Prince Noel - Bajan Pride
3. Race: Mr Smithson - Tom Folan - Masked Dance
4. Race: Obe Gold - Supermassive Muse - Whiskey Creek
5. Race: Sirvino - New Beginning - Snow Dancer
6. Race: Gaily Noble - Diamond Twister - Dubai Crest
7. Race: Labisa - Special Cuvee - Embsay Crag
8. Race: Good Buy Dubai - Dispol Diva - Troubletimestwo



At Kempton´s evening all-weather meeting, the mile handicap for 3yo´s at 20.20 looks to lie between the two top-weights Set the Trend (Andrew Balding/ Liam Keniry) and Antinori (Walter Swinburn/ Adam Kirby). Dancer in Demand (Sir Michael Stoute/ Ryan Moore) should win the 1 1/2 maiden race an hour later; his dam Sought Out won Baden-Baden´s Betty Barclay-Rennen, so stamina should not be a problem, while half-brother North Light won the Derby.

Betting forecast Kempton:
1. Race: Scartozz - Fremen - Tous Les Deux
2. Race: Set The Trend - Antinori - Herschel
3. Race: Compton Classic - Cape Of Storms - Garstang
4. Race: Dancer In Demand - Favours Brave - Khan Tengri
5. Race: Prince Charlemagne - Rose Row - Murcar
6. Race: Taqdeyr - Kilburn - Woodcote Place
