Top tipster Dave Nevison takes aim at the action across Beverley and Carlisle on Saturday, both live on Racing TV, with his nap running in the 4.00. For more selections from our experts, click here.
1.30 Carlisle: Opportunity
William Haggas has this four-year-old entered in the JenningsBet Northumberland Plate, so clearly believes he is a stayer, and he definitely shaped as though a step up in trip would suit him last time out.
Opportunity stayed on really well to be third in a good race at Ascot, and this lightly-raced, well-bred son of Frankel will definitely be winning soon, based on that effort.
Given his pedigree, it is possible he has any amount of improvement in him over longer trips, and it is no surprise he is a short-priced favourite for this.

4.00 Beverley: Frankies Dream
Frankies Dream had a busy, and successful, time of things in the first half of 2025, winning six handicaps.
His season finished by the summer, but he improved for his reappearance run in April to finish an excellent third in a competitive 0-90 contest at Thirsk this month.
Jennie Candlish’s gelding looks very much as though he can continue to progress again now, and he might have found an ideal race here.
Frankies Dream is at his best when able to surge through rivals weakening in front of him, and with so much pace in this race, he looks set to be well suited.
He has also run well over this course and distance before, with Paul Mulrennan riding, and will go close in this. He's my nap of the day on Saturday.
4.20 Carlisle: Albaydaa
Albaydaa was beaten by a very useful colt in Colori Forever at Ascot last time out, but showed improved form nonetheless, and has an obvious chance in this Fillies' Handicap.
The William Haggas-trained three-year-old has been raised just a pound for that latest run, so still looks potentially well treated, and can get off the mark in handicaps here.
A stiff 7f at a track like Carlisle looks ideal, too.

5.28 Carlisle: Priapos
Priapos took a while to settle into the Peter Makin yard having been sold from Ralph Beckett’s in the summer, but he was in good form at the end of the year when scoring twice at Newcastle.
He has progressed with each outing this term, and looked as though his turn might be near when a close fourth at Ayr last time out.
It also looked as though a stiffer track may suit him well and, given he ran well off this mark for Beckett, it is definitely possible he can go close.
