Not Me²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: S De Sousa| T: I Furtado| OR: 70

8/1

Reached the frame in 2 all-weather handicaps for James Ferguson but hasn't shaped with masses of promise in 4 starts for Ivan Furtado. De Sousa is a positive booking down slightly in class, though.

Form: 3599-55

Donna Nook^v⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 70

10/3

Seventeen runs since sole win in 2024. Another sound effort when second of 7 in handicap at Ayr (1m, good to firm, 11/2) 7 days ago, albeit having the run of the race. Merits consideration.

Form: 834332

Superfortress¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 68| BF

12/1

Runner-up at long odds starting out at Newcastle in October. Well-backed 11/4 but failed to improve when seventh of 10 on handicap debut at Southwell (1m) 17 days ago.

Form: 24-27

(12)

Hopeful Joy²⁸⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: J Garritty| T: M Walford| OR: 68

40/1

Similar form in a trio of qualifying runs in July, third of 7 in novice at Ripon (1m, good to firm). Off since and opening mark asks for more but she's unexposed.

Form: 423-

(9)

Amidst The Chaos¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Rowan Scott| T: N Tinkler| OR: 67| D

13/2

Much improved when back-to-back winner in handicaps last summer at up to 9f. Best effort since when third of 10 at Ripon 17 days ago, better than result too having been slowly away and also denied a clear run. Eased further 1 lb so has to be of serious interest.

Form: 1157-93

(6)

Princess Niyla^v¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: D Nolan| T: A D Brown| OR: 65| C| D

15/2

Stepped up markedly on reappearance when third of 10 in a C&D handicap last month. Found out in a much better race at Musselburgh 16 days ago and better expected here back in her pay grade returned to Beverley. Visor replaces cheekpieces.

Form: 425-936

Dr Rio¹⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 9-3| J: Zak Wheatley⁽³⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 64| C| D

16/1

A 6-time course winner over a variety of trips and stepped up on reappearance returned to this venue when fourth of 7 (1½m, good to firm) 19 days ago, slowly away.

Form: 6615-54

Coolree^t,p⁸^{(ex 4)}

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: O J Orr| T: S England| OR: 60| CD

9/2

Didn't need to improve to gain third C&D win in 14-runner handicap 8 days ago, always holding on. Carries penalty but can make presence felt given he retains scope on old form.

Form: 668-731

(11)

Tees George^p¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Jack Nicholls⁽⁵⁾| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 63| CD

11/2

Enhanced excellent record here and better than ever when winning 9-runner handicap over C&D (good to firm) 19 days ago, well on top finish. Tanked through that race so 4 lb higher mark could be within range.

Form: 527-341

(13)

Blufferonthebus¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: S H James| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 63| C| D

25/1

Back-to-back winner in November and stepped up on reappearance when creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (7f,) 11 days ago, nearest finish. Back up in trip and down in grade.

Form: 4110-94

(7)

Sunny Orange^p¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 62| CD

12/1

Four-time course winner, most recently on penultimate start. 8/1, respectable third of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (1m, good) 10 days ago but now looks summed up by his mark.

Form: 839-613

(5)

Betty Bassett^p¹⁶⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: P Mulrennan| T: C N Kellett| OR: 62

80/1

Made winning handicap debut a year ago. Backward step when sixth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford (1¼m) on final start for Ian Williams in November. Off since.

Form: 557246-

Sir David¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Hollie Doyle| T: N Tinkler| OR: 62

22/1

Scored at Carlisle (7f) in August for Stella Barclay. Low-key start for this yard in recent weeks.

Form: 6149-00

Forecasts

Donna Nook (10/3), Coolree (9/2), Tees George (11/2), Amidst The Chaos (13/2), Princess Niyla (15/2), Not Me (8/1), Superfortress (12/1), Sunny Orange (12/1), Dr Rio (16/1), Sir David (22/1), Blufferonthebus (25/1), Hopeful Joy (40/1), Betty Bassett (80/1)

TEES GEORGE can boast a very good Beverley record and the way he went about things here 3 weeks ago suggests further success may well be forthcoming. This is a reasonable race for the grade, though, with Amidst The Chaos and Coolree in-form opponents.
