The KTB Fit ranking

1. 1Kigali KTB Selection58/100

   Form 67992 · Ollie Sangster · Daniel Tudhope

   Kigali is a modest performer who has shown his best form when finishing second at this track last time out. He steps up to 1m for the first time today, which asks a fresh question, though the selection has the benefit of a decent draw in stall five. Ollie Sangster continues in excellent form at Beverley with a 46% strike rate from 13 runs, and Daniel Tudhope takes the ride with an 18% strike rate at the track from 559 rides. The yard's trainer and jockey record stands at 4/16 (25%) with an A/E of 1.04. Usually held up and producing his effort late, Kigali will be looking to come from off the pace in a race where the leader may get an easy time out front.

2. 2Prince Kameo54/100

   Form 480511 · Sir Mark Prescott Bt · Luke Morris

   Prince Kameo is a modest performer on the balance of his six runs but has improved sharply since switched to handicaps, winning both starts at this trip. Drawn in stall one at a track where Sir Mark Prescott has a solid 19% strike rate from 196 runs, he is perfectly placed to make the running given his front-running style. The trainer and jockey record is 481/2601 (18%) with an A/E of 0.90, and Luke Morris has a 12% strike rate at Beverley from 155 rides. The trip clearly suits and his recent form gives him a good chance of being competitive again, though he has shown no win or place from one run on good ground. He is likely to set the pace in what looks an uncontested lead.

3. 3Court Legend52/100

   Form 05021 · Michael & David Easterby · Joanna Mason

   Court Legend is a modest performer who has already won once in two runs at Beverley. The yard posts a solid 14% strike rate here from 240 runs and the horse arrives in decent form after a win last time out. Stepping up in class as well as to this trip for the first time asks fresh questions, while the going remains an unknown on the back of only five career runs and two starts on good ground with no win or place. Joanna Mason takes the ride with a 14% strike rate at Beverley from 253 rides, and the trainer and jockey record stands at 112/1062 (11%) with an A/E of 0.83. A held-up performer with high confidence in that assessment, he will be looking to come from off the pace.

4. 4Emerald Bay51/100

   Form 761132 · George Scott · P. J. McDonald

   Emerald Bay is a modest performer who has won once and placed once from two starts at this trip. He has already won here from one run at Beverley and the yard posts a solid 19% strike rate at the track from 37 runs. First-time headgear is now added after a string of three placed efforts from his last four starts, including a placed effort from one run on good ground. Dropping in class, he has the benefit of a placed run at today's distance and should be suited by the step up in trip. P. J. McDonald rides with a 12% strike rate at Beverley from 547 rides, and the trainer and jockey record is 3/16 (19%) with an A/E of 1.22. Usually held up with high confidence, he will need to bridge any gap to the leader.

5. 5High Calibre47/100

   Form 5662 · Richard Hannon · Alec Voikhansky

   High Calibre is a modest performer who has shown some consistency, finishing second on his most recent start over this trip. He has the benefit of a placed effort at today's distance from his one attempt, though the small sample means his effectiveness on good ground remains untested. The trainer holds a solid 19% strike rate at Beverley from 42 runs, though the jockey has a 0% strike rate at the track from six rides.

6. 6Northern Viola38/100

   Form 5574 · John & Sean Quinn · James Sullivan

   Northern Viola has shown only limited ability in four starts and was well held when seventh on her only visit to Beverley. The yard posts a respectable 14% strike rate here from 44 runs yet she has failed to place in three of her last four efforts and looks up against it again from stall 2. Trip and ground both remain unproven questions with such a light record.
