TIE the bookies in knots with TANGLED (1.30) in Beverley’s opening contest on Saturday.
His two wins from four races over this distance at the Yorkshire course show he likes this track.
This will be his first run over 7f since finishing fifth in this race 12 months ago but he is much lower in the weights this time.
There is also likely to be a strong early pace with several proven frontrunners in the field and that will help bring his stamina into play. It will also help him overcome a wide draw. Have 2pts each-way at 10-1. Most bookies are paying out on four places with Sky Bet stretching to five.
The need for speed is key in the William Hill Beverley Bullet.
Luckily, KING OF STARS (2.40) has a stack of it.
He came agonisingly close to landing a red-hot York handicap last week but his high draw just saw him run out of it close home.
His early pace should see him give it another good go as it pays to race towards the front in sprints at this track. Have 1pt to win at 8-1.
The ground is likely to be on the soft side at Goodwood and that will be alien to many of the juvenile fillies in the William Hill Prestige Stakes.
MOTTISFONT (1.50) won well on quick going on her debut but she didn’t appear to be enjoying it when an excellent third behind Lakota Sioux in the Sweet Solera at Newmarket three weeks ago.
She moves like a class filly, has a nice draw and she wouldn’t need to improve much for the softer ground to be a major player. Have 1pt each-way at 9-1.
ASCOT ADVENTURE (2.25) will have also enjoyed the recent rain.
His best efforts have come on soft ground and he ran a fine race on going quicker than ideal at Doncaster earlier this month. Have 1pt each-way at 12-1. Several bookies are paying out on four places with Sky Bet going five.
