Beverley Race 1 - Happy Birthday Joe McCabe Claiming Stakes
PENNY ARCADE (1) finished last of four on debut attempting a Musselburgh novice race then improved next time out when runner-up in a maiden at Thirsk eleven days ago. May go one better. TRICKY JENNY (2) failed to make the frame on two most recent appearances. Managed fifth contesting a maiden at Musselburgh but failed to progress when sixth in a novice race at Ripon subsequently. Improvement expected. LAIRY MARY (6) placed third in a course and distance maiden two starts back running sixth in a Thirsk maiden eleven days ago. Might bounce back. TREE WIZARD (5) will come on from a ninth making first career outing at Bath.
