The KTB Fit ranking

1. 1Court Legend KTB Selection55/100

   Form 0502 · Michael & David Easterby · Joanna Mason

   Court Legend is a modest two-year-old who has shown some ability on his last two starts, most notably when finishing second over this trip at Beverley on his most recent outing. The yard enjoys a 14% strike rate at the track with an A/E of 1.07 from 237 runs, and both trainer and jockey post solid 14% strike rates here. He is held up and usually produces his effort late, so the uncontested lead ahead should suit. First-time headgear is now applied and the trip looks suitable, though the soft ground is an unknown with only four runs on the board. The combination of recent course form, yard record and the applied headgear makes him the KTB Selection.

2. 2Amantha52/100

   Form 123351 · Brian Ellison · Connor Beasley

   Amantha is a modest performer who has contested five races at Beverley without winning but has placed once and shown she handles the track. She has won twice over today's trip from eight attempts and her recent form of 123351 suggests she remains competitive at this level. Dropping in class looks a positive, though both trainer and jockey have below-par records at Beverley. Like most of her rivals she is held up and will be produced late, which fits the expected lone-leader shape. The soft ground remains unproven and she has yet to win at the venue, yet her placed form and trip suitability keep her in the picture.

3. 3Bella Lucia49/100

   Form 3631 · Gemma Tutty · Conor Whiteley(5)

   Bella Lucia is a modest filly who has shown steady progress and landed a similar race over this trip last time out. She has already placed here on soft ground from stall 2, which is a significant plus given that so many opponents are unproven on the surface. Dropping in class again should help and her recent form reads well in this company. She is usually held up, though with limited evidence, and the yard strikes at a modest 7% rate at Beverley from 54 runs. The placed effort on soft and the drop in grade are the main positives.

4. 4Inns And Out49/100

   Form 53691 · Tim Easterby · David Allan

   Inns And Out is a modest performer who has shown steady progress and got his head in front over this trip last time. He has a solid record at Beverley and the yard's 9% strike rate from 2403 runs adds some confidence, while David Allan is a regular rider for the stable. Usually held up, he will be looking to come from off the pace in a race where the leader may get an easy time. The trip looks ideal, but the soft ground is an unknown with only five runs on the clock and he has no previous course form on record.

5. 5Sunrise At Dawn47/100

   Form 5862 · Craig Lidster · Tom Eaves

   Sunrise At Dawn is a limited horse who has shown only modest form in four starts, finishing second in a weak 6f maiden last time but looking stretched by today's extra furlong. He has already run once at Beverley, finishing fifth without threatening. The trainer has a solid 13% strike rate here from 91 runs, yet the jockey is only 7% from a large sample. Usually held up, he will need to find extra if he is to figure prominently. The step back up in trip and the soft ground both look potential negatives.

6. 6Printing Money46/100

   Form 9673 · Dylan Cunha · Sam James

   Printing Money is a modest performer who has shown some ability on his last two starts, finishing third over this trip at this track on his most recent outing. He has a placed effort at today's distance but remains winless after four runs, and his front-running style means he is set to get an uncontested lead according to the pace shape. The trainer holds a 10% strike rate at Beverley from 20 runs.

7. 7Black Fury44/100

   Form 462 · Ollie Pears · Cam Hardie

   Black Fury has shown fair placed form in three starts including a second here over this trip on his penultimate outing. He is limited on what he has achieved so far and remains a work in progress, though he is dropping in class. The trainer has an 8% strike rate from 440 runs at Beverley while the jockey's record is modest.

8. 8Nosey Book41/100

   Form 630 · Tim Easterby · Sean Kirrane

   Nosey Book is a limited sort who has shown only poor form in three runs to date. Dropping back from a mile to 7f raises a fresh question while first-time headgear is now applied. The trainer's modest 9% strike rate at Beverley from a huge sample offers little encouragement.

9. 9Loveulongtime38/100

   Form 7048 · Geoffrey Harker · William Pyle

   Loveulongtime is a limited performer who has shown little in four starts and finished no better than fourth. He has been beaten a long way on both runs at Beverley and carries no obvious positives from the wide draw in stall 12. The trainer's modest 8% strike rate at the track adds little encouragement.

10. 10Be More Ruthless38/100

    Form 005 · Adrian Nicholls · Jack Nicholls(3)

    Be More Ruthless is a limited performer who has shown little in three starts to date. He ran respectably when fifth here on debut but has been well held on both subsequent outings. The trainer has a solid 12% strike rate at Beverley from 69 runs.

11. 11Tiger In The Tree37/100

    Form 969336 · Tim Easterby · Duran Fentiman

    Tiger In The Tree is a limited performer who has shown just one placed effort in six starts, finishing third over this trip and track on his penultimate run. That Beverley effort gives him some sort of hook at the venue, though he has otherwise struggled to make an impact. The trainer has a modest 9% strike rate here from a huge sample.

12. 12Scarlet Dynasty31/100

    Form 887 · Gemma Tutty · Rhys Elliott(5)

    Scarlet Dynasty has shown only modest form in three starts and looks limited at this level. Dropping back from 1m to 7f is an unknown and the lightly-raced profile means the soft ground is also untested. The yard's modest 7% strike-rate at Beverley adds little encouragement.
