Friday and Saturday saw winners at 13/8, 2/1, 4/1, 5/1 and 16/1, although three selections beaten in photos on the final day prevented what could have been an outstanding end to what has been a memorable week for the sport.

Alan Kelly's Tips - Tuesday, 23 June
We head to the meetings at Beverley and Newbury for Tuesday’s horse racing selections, the ground at both courses expected to ride on the firm side of good.
4:17pm Beverley - Qitaal
For a stable with such a good record at the East Yorkshire racecourse, it’s surprising that the Charlie Johnston-trained seven-year-old QITAAL will be paying his first visit to the track on his 37th career start. While all three of Qitaal’s victories to date have come on left-handed courses, the Iffraaj gelding has performed with credit in races at Leicester, Hamilton and most recently Ripon (all right-handed) where Connor Beasley’s mount lost out by a head in a 1m 2f handicap last week.
A creditable fourth in a Class 3 handicap at Chester last summer off a mark of 83, Qitaal has now dropped to a career-low rating of just 75. Now on a losing run of 19, this looks to be the selection’s best chance of getting his head in front for some time. Ivan Furtado's four-year-old filly Helmsley looks the main danger to Qitaal, Jason Hart’s mount a decent 6th behind Master Builder at York’s Dante meeting prior to finishing a close second at Chester 10 days ago.
Recommendation: Qitaal - 6/4 with bet365
4:52pm Beverley - Wadacre Geisha (Nap)
Yet to finish any better than fifth on her last five starts, the Michael & David Easterby-trained filly Resdev Time has been running well enough in defeat to suggest the daughter of Time Test is capable of winning a race of this nature off a mark of 52. While I expect Joanna Mason’s mount to make the frame on her first attempt at this mile and a quarter trip, I fancy the Charlie Johnston stable to have a good day at Beverley, on this occasion courtesy of the Study Of Man filly WADACRE GEISHA (Nap), the mount of Connor Beasley who has a strong book of rides for the stable this afternoon.
After three runs at big prices in novice company, the three-year-old ran a cracker on her handicap debut over today’s course and distance last month when beaten just over a length in second place behind Richard & Peter Fahey’s Ciao Capo, now rated 10lb higher after winning again at Wetherby earlier this month.
While last of four on her next start, again on this course just over three weeks ago, the selection was only beaten a little over two lengths by the in-form pair of Vietnorm and Bradbury, who have since advertised the form, the winner and second unbeaten between them on their last five starts, while the third horse, Clear Above, went on to be beaten half a length by Bradbury at Wetherby last week.
The form of Wadacre Geisha’s two runs in handicaps looks much stronger than anything achieved by her seven rivals, although any market mov
Recommendation: Wadacre Geisha (Nap) - 5/2 with bet365
7:35pm Newbury - Escape Plan & Laughterintherain
My two against the field for this 14-runner sprint handicap are the Tom Ward-trained ESCAPE PLAN and LAUGHTERINTHERAIN from the Ed Walker stable. The former was sent off favourite for a handicap at Bath last month, the Ardad gelding just getting into contention from the rear when suffering serious interference and almost falling going inside the closing stages.
Running off the same mark of 70, Alec Voikhansky’s mount is worth another chance based on previous efforts when winning on Kempton Park’s all-weather surface before returning to turf with a creditable effort at Windsor last month.
Runner-up over 7f at Lingfield back in December, Laughterintherain’s two outings this year have come over Nottingham’s extended one mile trip. Weakening into 7th place as a well-fancied 4/1 chance on her most recent start earlier in the month, Kieran Shoemark’s mount is worth a try over sprint distances off today’s mark of just 65.
Recommendations: Escape Plan - 10/1 with bet365 & Laughterintherain - 9/1 with bet365
