Beverley

The market favourite at 3.05, but punters should note this horse has never won on the kind of dry ground on offer today — zero wins from five races on standard ground and blanks on good-to-soft and good-to-firm too. There is also a worrying pattern on left-handed tracks: zero wins from 12 attempts, and Beverley is left-handed. The recent form shows a third here 34 days ago, which is at least encouraging.

The least experienced horse in the field with just four races to her name and no wins or placed finishes from any of them. She does carry the lowest weight in the race, which gives her a small physical advantage over her rivals, and a fourth at Beverley 27 days ago is her best result to date. At three years old there is still time to develop, but right now the data is thin and the form gives little to go on.

Fifty races into her career and still searching for a win at Beverley after 11 attempts here — that is a persistent blank at this particular track that is hard to ignore. She ran third here 34 days ago, so she is capable of running her race, but today's dry conditions are a concern given she has zero wins from nine races on good ground.

Zero wins from 19 races, and back out just six days after finishing ninth here at Beverley. The one bright spot is a second place at this track 34 days ago, but that was sandwiched between a ninth and an eleventh, making it hard to know which version shows up today. At 34/1, the market is not expecting much.
