A winner last time out, with two runner-up efforts either side of a blip in the book, and has raced over today's distance and going before. A below-par sixth two starts back and a 36-day absence since are the checks against progress continuing.

SR 69 suggests ability but 5/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

A winner two starts back and third in our rankings on 72, with today's distance and going both raced over before. The concern is an unplaced run last time out, though a fair 18-day turnaround suggests it's ready to bounce back.

Tops our ratings on 74 and was runner-up last time out, with a win four starts back and a third three starts back too. A modest fifth two starts back and a sixth further back are the dips, but the profile here looks the strongest on offer.

Runner-up last time out, after a win two starts back and a third three starts back, and has raced over today's distance and going before. A below-par eighth further back is the lone blot, but the recent progressive form makes this our selection.

SR 74 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Second in our rankings on 72, with a runner-up five starts back the standout form figure, and she has raced over today's distance and going before. Yet to win in its last five starts, though, with a run of below-par efforts since and a 67-day absence the concerns.

No finish better than fifth in her last five starts, including a below-par eighth four starts back, though she does have experience over today's distance and going. Rated 65 by us, and a 28-day gap since her last run leaves a slight fitness question mark too.

Bottom of our rankings on 57, though a runner-up finish last time out is easily the pick of the form, with the rest reading fifth, unplaced, fourth, sixth and unplaced. Has raced over today's distance before, but there's plenty to find on these figures.

Norcross Brow
Confidence: Medium

Norcross Brow (SR 74, 9/4) is the clear class leader in this field and the only runner with confirmed distance and going fitness (DistFit:+ and GoingFit:+), both essential on a track like Beverley where the uphill finish rewards horses proven at the trip. The form string 468312 shows a progressive 3yo who won last time out and has been placed consistently, while Charlie Clover's 21% strike rate is the best in the field and represents a small but sharp yard. The market has shortened 8% — meaningful support alongside already-favourite pricing — and at 9-6 he carries a 6lb weight advantage over top-weight Carolus Magnus, whose SR of 69 he comfortably eclipses. The class rise (↑1) is the one caveat, but the combination of superior SR, proven going/distance profile, and strong market drift makes him the standout selection. Each-way alternative: Carolus Magnus. Main danger: Carolus Magnus — Carolus Magnus (SR 69, 5/2) is the second-highest rated runner, won last time out (Form: ...261 rightmost = 1), is attracting market support (Mkt:in5%), and Joanna Mason retains the ride — if the class rise (↑1) is absorbed, the topweight burden at 9-12 is the main obstacle to overturning Norcross Brow.
