Beverley 4:10 Result

Supreme Clarets is the clear form pick here - his recent figures (492241) show a horse in career-best form with a recent win and progressive profile, still lightly raced at 3yo with room to improve. He's dropped in class relative to his best runs and the Fahey yard is in good form. Oisin Orr takes over which is a positive booking. Despite carrying a competitive weight, his OR of 70 looks workable given the upward trajectory - horses improving through a race like this often outrun the bare rating. Soft ground and 7f looks fine on his recent evidence. Mudamer and Son carry more weight at the top of the handicap and are older, more exposed types who look to have found their level - Mudamer's -33063 and Son's 734062 both show inconsistency, and neither has the scope for further improvement that Supreme Clarets does. Misunderstood is similarly plateaued with a run of minor-figure finishes (767745). Highland Shah and Shadow Run are workmanlike but their form figures show more one-paced efforts. Zowal (0-6130) is interesting with a recent win but has been running well below that level for most of the campaign and needs more evidence of consistency. Swift Salian's 4-2220 shows he's been knocking on the door but hasn't sealed the deal. Supreme Clarets stands out as the horse on the upgrade, with the right浮 jockey booking and a barely-exposed profile suggesting more to come. He offers a good combination of current form and potential value against more exposed rivals at similar or higher weights.
