Racing Post · third-partyShimmering Sands is the stand-out on our figures for this Class 5 contest at Beverley, rated several pounds clear of this field after winning his last two starts. Enamorus, Ziata and Kitsune Power all have solid placed form and are the chief dangers, though none matches Shimmering Sands on our figures. Mwafaq has a strong recent winning record that isn't reflected in our rating of him here. Shimmering Sands is a confident selection on the balance of form.
