Beverley Beaker Handicap

(3)

Corolla Point¹⁹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: E Bethell| OR: 94| D

11/8

Promising son of Blue Point made a fine start for new yard (formerly with Charlie Appleby) last September when bagging a pair of 5f handicaps at Haydock and Hamilton. Up 6 lb but he has more to offer so merits serious consideration on his return.

Form: 1/4811-

Smart Vision^p¹⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 90| CD

9/2

A three-time winner in 2025, including over C&D in August and at Doncaster in October. Has won off a break so needs considering on his reappearance.

Form: 123118-

Air Force One^v⁶⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: P J McDonald| T: G R Oldroyd| OR: 88| D

Squealer¹⁸⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Rowan Scott| T: N Tinkler| OR: 86| CD

10/1

C&D winner but he ended 2025 below par, sixteenth of 18 in 5f handicap at York 6 months ago. Has gone well fresh in the past though.

Winless since May but largely in good nick after in 2025, making the frame on several occasion. Possibilities.

Sports Coach¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 82| D

14/1

Readily landing 5f handicap at Southwell in March and not discredited off a 4 lb higher mark when fifth of 12 in 5f Newcastle handicap 19 days ago.

Form: 503-215

(4)

Tiriac^p¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: Barry McHugh| T: P T Midgley| OR: 78| D

14/1

Ended 2025 with a pair of 5f handicap wins at Newcastle. Give a considerate return when ninth of 12 in 5f handicap there 19 days ago. Can take a step forward.

Form: 04131-9

Age: 4| Weight: 8-6| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 77| D

28/1

Got back on the up when scoring at Musselburgh (5f) in September. Found himself poorly placed when behind in 5f handicaps at Haydock and Catterick subsequently. Not out of things on his return.

Form: 302198-

Acrisius²¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-6| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 77| D

22/1

Resumed winning ways at Chester in July but not seen out after coming in only thirteenth of 16 in 5f handicap at Doncaster in September.

Forecasts

Corolla Point (11/4), Sports Coach (9/2), Air Force One (6/1), Smart Vision (8/1), Venture Capital (8/1), Tiriac (10/1), Duran (12/1), Squealer (12/1), Acrisius (12/1), I'm Next (14/1)

COROLLA POINT impressed when going 2-2 for Ed Bethell last autumn and can defy another rise in the weights to return in style here. C&D scorer Smart Vision could emerge as the main danger given he has gone well fresh, while I'm Next and Squealer also need factoring in.
