Wednesday racing: Five runners at Beverley's first meeting of 2026


Posted: 14.12 • 13 Apr 2026 • Racing


Beverley host this first meeting of the 2026 season on Wednesday and we send five horses to the Westwood.

First up is Yorkies Dream who has her third racecourse outing in the Beverley Easter Maiden Fillies' Stakes. Third on her debut at Redcar in October she was disappointing at Bath when finishing last on her final appearance of 2025 and we hope she'll show her debut form as she has her first racecourse outing of the year.

Acrisius is a dual winner and last tasted success at Chester last July. He lines up for the Beverley Beaker Handicap where he's six pounds above his latest winning mark. He signed off his 2025 season at Doncaster in October where he was a little short of room in the latter stages and the ground may have been too soft. He's had a winter break and will be partnered again by Joanna Mason who rode him to his latest win at Chester.

Top Lad


Top Lad has placed twice from five starts and he'll be looking for his first career success in the Diony Dash Handicap over seven and a half furlongs. He's two pounds below his opening handicap mark and now races off a BHA rating of 67. Amo Racing's Stay Salty may be the one they all have to beat here and he has the benefit of a run under his belt earlier this year.

We are dual handed in the penultimate race at 5.10 as Catton Lady and Glorious Kitty go to post for the Spillers Powering Your Winners Fillies' Handicap. Catton Lady likes a stiff finish and her two career successes have come at Carlisle. Glorious Kitty has shown improved form when stepped up in trip and her best form to date came when beaten a neck at Nottingham in October over today's trip. Lewis Chalkley takes the ride and claims a useful seven pounds.
