Ut Majeur Aulmes NAP 3/1 BetVictor/WH
Trainer Victor Dartnall does well when he travels up here to Perth and we should be surprised if this one has been laid out for this contest. The 9yo has cheek pieces on for the first time and this is his second run after a break, he ran as if needing it at Newbury last time.

3:05 Perth Sweet Holly @ 8/1 William Hill e/w Thanks

Sweet Holly.....from Malcolm Jefferson yard the 6yo is a 11 race maiden with 10 runs coming for Lucinda Russell yard who saw her leave to new yard at start of this month and 6 days later they ran her at Kelso 2m 2f handicap hurdle when she finished 6th of 13 runners

She had three 3rd place finishes for Lucinda and new yard bring her back here where those three place finishes were gained twice over todays distance 2m and once over 2m4f , the new yard have had 17 days to work on her and bring back Brian Hughes who was a regular on horse for Lucinda so knows the horse well ,

1.40 Beverley: Class 5 Handicap, 5f

If it wouldn't be for apprentice Patrick Vaughan on board I'd say Lawless Louis is a penalty kick in this race. The young jockey's record on turf is atrocious and even on the All-Weather he's having a hard time this year so far.

On the other hand he's got some decent rides for the O'Meara yard over the last couple of seasons and is quite an experienced rider for his seven pound claim, so this allowance might come handy here, actually.

Lawless Louis makes his seasonal reappearance here at Beverley where his trainer has quite a fine record over the years and given he can race off what could easily be a lenient mark I assume he's ready to go fresh.

He finished a fine sixth in the Listed 2yo Trophy when last season in 2016, which was an excellent performance and in line with some other decent performances where he wasn't all that far beaten and the form has stand the test of time.

Now as a three year old dropping to 5f again and taking a massive drop in class I feel he has a bit of potential to win one or two races. Certainly the handicapper gives him every chance, and while it is no easy feat as a younger horses against older, seasoned handicappers at this point in the season, I feel he has a prime chance in this particular race.

It's also noteworthy that Lawless Louis is a full-brother to the decent filly Lydia's Place who herself was a 89 rated individual at some point in her career.

Selection:
 Lawless Louis @ 5/1 Bet365

SWEET HOLLY @ 13/2 Skybet


First run for Jefferson last time when running ok in a better race than this, there was market support that day and the same applies today. Trainer will know more about her now and has dropped her down to the 2m trip where she has twice been placed. Stronger handling today and a further 2lb drop should see her perform better in what looks a poor affair. The stable had a winner at the track yesterday and historically do well in April.
