Beverley, 23 June 2026: Tuesday Tips

A seven-race card at Beverley on good to firm ground, and while the fields are small across the board, there are three races worth getting stuck into. The stiff uphill finish here rewards horses who can travel strongly and maintain momentum, so course form matters more than most tracks. D Tudhope leads the jockey stats here at 17% and O J Orr at 20%, so keep an eye on both. On the trainer side, D Loughnane’s A/E of 1.49 is the standout figure at this track, meaning his runners consistently outperform their market prices.

2:15 Here Come The Girls EBF Fillies’ Novice Stakes

Selection: Lady Caroline Lamb (10/11, Boyle Sports / Betfred)

A five-runner field with one non-runner, and the market has this right. Lady Caroline Lamb, trained by Charlie Johnston, is the one to beat. She finished third on debut after being forced to switch at a crucial point, beaten three lengths off horses who were already in a rhythm. That intervention cost her, and the bare form reads better than a third-place finish suggests. Johnston is a 16% trainer at this course and his yard has six winners from 47 runners in the last 14 days. Connor Beasley takes the ride.

The step up to 7.5f on good to firm is exactly what she needs given the pedigree, and a top yard does not send a filly here at odds-on without confidence she will progress. Fern Clyde won a Pontefract maiden under a penalty and now adds first-time headgear, but carrying extra weight at a stiff track while trying to replicate a half-length victory is a different ask. Lady Caroline Lamb gets in off the same weight as the field and has upside the winner may not.

Selection: Roaring Ralph (5/2, Boyle Sports / Betfred)

Roaring Ralph is the standout of the day in this seven-furlong handicap. Five wins from his last six starts. He landed a handicap off this exact same mark last time back on turf, and crucially escapes any penalty here. Suited by six to eight furlongs on a sound surface, good to firm at Beverley is as good as it gets for a horse in this kind of form.

Mike Dods has had a quiet 14 days by numbers but this horse carries his own form into the race. Rhys Elliott rides and the yard is not over-running him. The mark looks the right one, the conditions are right, and backing a horse with five wins from six who avoids a penalty is exactly the kind of bet that pays over time. This is the most straightforward call on the card.

Each-way interest: This Farh Each-Way (4/1, Boyle Sports / Betfred)

D Loughnane’s runner This Farh qualifies as an each-way play at 4/1 in a seven-runner field. The trainer’s A/E of 1.49 at Beverley is the best figure on the card by some distance, and this horse has won here before. First-time blinkers go on and he likes to dominate from the front. Off the same mark as his fourth-place finish here last time, there is a case he ran into a stronger race that day. At 4/1 with two places paid, getting a return if he hits the frame makes sense.

4:17 Humberside Airport Handicap

Selection: Qitaal (11/8, Boyle Sports / Betfred / LiveScore Bet)

Qitaal was beaten a head last time off this exact mark, going well throughout at the right distance and on the right ground. The ratings have him at the head of this market for a reason. Charlie Johnston sends him here, and while the trainer’s 14-day figures are modest, Qitaal’s personal form does the talking. He stays well over a mile and a quarter, acts on good to firm, and has been consistently competitive across his last six runs.

Helmsley is the one who will push him hardest, coming back in form with a tongue-tie applied after a near-miss last time. But Qitaal is the one the ratings say has the most ability in the race, and at 11/8 in a five-runner field there is no need to complicate this. Ryan Sexton’s mount Titian is 4lb below his last winning mark with cheekpieces fitted, but the form leading into this is too patchy to trust at any price.

Connor Beasley takes the ride for Johnston, and the jockey is a reliable 15% at this course. Back the horse that was beaten a head off this exact mark and conditions are unchanged.
