Beylerbeyi⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: P Mathers| T: Ian Williams| OR: 63| D

14/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Tenth of 11 in handicap (13/2) at Newcastle (5f) 41 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Step back up to 6f is a positive but possible he's better over further still and never the easiest of rides, so others preferred.

Form: 55-2720

Forecasts

Westmorian (3/1), Whenthedealinsdone (7/2), Airshow (5/1), Gulliver (11/2), Blackjack (7/1), Sacred Falls (12/1), Beylerbeyi (14/1), Kandy King (16/1), Many A Star (18/1)

AIRSHOW scored under an attacking ride at Chelmsford in March and was collared only late over C&D 11 days ago, so is fancied to continue his strong run of form. Whenthedealinsdone has slipped in the weights and showed plenty to be encouraged by at Lingfield last month and rates as a potential lurker, with Westmorian also capable of extending his good spell.
