Beverley 1:40 Result

Theoryofeverything is the top-rated horse in the field on official ratings (90) and has been building nicely through the summer - his form string 054581 shows a clear improving trajectory culminating in a recent win. He races off a fair mark for O'Meara, a trainer who campaigns his stock shrewdly for handicaps like this, and Jason Hart takes over the ride. The step up to 1m2f on testing heavy ground shouldn't be an issue given his pedigree (Frankel/Dark Angel damsire line typically handles a test) and his recent win suggests he's fit and firing. Only 22 days since his last run keeps him fresh and sharp. The head gear (tongue tie) addition may have helped sharpen him for that recent success. Compared to the field, several rivals are stepping up in trip or unproven on heavy ground (Bay Of Myths, Oratorical both facing big layoffs), while others like Wahdan and Per Contra look to be treading water on recent form. Impartiality and Fox Avatar are respectable but lack the identical upward curve. Theoryofeverything looks the most solid, in-form, correctly-weighted runner with course experience and looks slightly overpriced given he's clearly working through the ranks with a recent victory fresh in the memory.
