Tiriac is preferred here on the strength of a progressive profile that suggests there may be more to come, even if the ratings place him narrowly behind Ventura Express, Military Girl and Empress Olivia at the head of affairs. Ventura Express holds the highest rating in the field and represents the chief danger, with Military Girl and Empress Olivia also holding clear claims on figures alone in what looks a competitive Class 5 dash over five furlongs on soft ground at Beverley. The confidence level is modest given the slim margins involved, but a horse on the upgrade can outrun his rating, and that is the case being made for our selection. Tiriac is the pick.
