Beverley Racing Tips: Assertively looks a bright prospect

• A Beverley Nap and Next Best from Timeform

Beverley Nap - 14:15 - Back Assertively

Assertively was strong in the market and duly landed good support when making a winning debut at Ripon last month, showing plenty of speed and displaying a very willing attitude to hold off another promising newcomer.

There should be even more to come from him now and he is expected to defy a penalty before having his sights raised further.

Beverley Next Best - 15:45 - Back Sound Reason

A winner from a 4 lb higher mark over this course and distance last summer, Sound Reason ought to be sharper for his reappearance and debut for this yard at Pontefract three weeks ago where he left the impression he'd come on for the run and, with the headgear refitted, he could well be worth siding with to take a step forward now returned to a likely sounder surface.
