In depth

Verdict

Flashy Max is selected in the finale, wile Titfer and Autumn Charm are others to bear in mind. The last named has been very lightly raced since winning on the all weather in January. She may have been in need of the run when she finished fifth here last time out and it would come as no surprise to see a much better effort from her today. Titfer landed an apprentice handicap at Warwick last month but was then well held back in a handicap 19 days ago. He is capable of going close at this level but does appear to be weighted to the hilt. Therefore, it can pay to take a chance with Flashy Max, who has held his own against slightly stronger opponents and, having gone well here on his only previous visit, the return to Beverley can be a profitable one for Jedd O¿Keeffe¿s charge.
