Ideal Candy (3/1), Archie Perkins (4/1), Ventura Gold (5/1), Placebo Effect (11/2), Billy Roberts (11/2), Bit Of A Quirke (15/2), Indomeneo (12/1), Bollin Joan (14/1), Ad Libitum (16/1), King Of Naples (16/1), Spark Of War (16/1), Near Kettering (50/1)

A very competitive handicap which features a number of horses who could probably find their way around Beverley blindfolded, including the five-time C&D scorer (& 2018 race winner) Bit Of A Quirke. Bollin Joan (3211) also enjoys her visits to East Yorkshire, and racing from her last winning mark has to enter the reckoning on the proviso that the forecast rain doesn't fall in a sustained and prolonged spell. However, in a wide open contest the safest option could be to stick with the admittedly rising in the weights ARCHIE PERKINS who should at least provide punters with a good run for their money.
