Tuesday 27 June’s UK racing tips come your way from meetings at Beverley and Brighton on 27 June 2023.
BEVERLEY
Race 2 – SHADAN JOY 2/5
The stiff finish at Beverley should suit Charlie Johnston’s SHADAN JOY, who finished a promising second on debut.
The daughter of Kitten’s Joy is out of a French Listed winner over middle distances, so in time she will likely want further than the extended seven furlongs she gets in this maiden fillies’ stakes.
But her first run should have sharpened her up and she made a Godolphin odds-on shot pull out all the stops at Lingfield, pulling over three lengths clear of the third.
Race 6 – WESTERNESSE 7/4
WESTERNESSE let down his supporters at York last time out, but those who keep the faith in this handicap can be rewarded.
He already looks another shrewd purchase by his connections, but on his first try over an extended 10 furlongs on the Knavesmire, he got going too late.
Ridden to get the trip by his apprentice jockey, by the time he got to top speed he had too much ground to make up. Expect him to be wound up earlier on this occasion.
BRIGHTON
Race 3 – LET HER LOOSE 7/4
LET HER LOOSE looks sure to go well in the Roy Rocket Amateur Jockeys’ Handicap at Brighton.
For all that John Berry would love nothing more to win the race named after his stable stalwart with HIDDEN PEARL, she was second last time out in a similar event.
Trained by Archie Watson and ridden by his wife Brodie Hampson, they are a force to be reckoned with in such races.
