Beverley Race 8 - Racing Again On Bank Holiday Monday Handicap
SMOKER BELLAMY (11) appeals most after a strong 2nd at Wolverhampton last start, showing improved form in this grade. VON DUTCH (2) has been competitive in recent runs, including a placing at Wolverhampton two starts ago, and looks a key threat. HENGIST POD (5) and CONTEMPLATION (9) have both been holding their form with consistent midfield finishes and can be included among the main hopes.
