Thursday racing tips: A Thursday longshot to fill your pockets at Beverley from Jack Keene

I'M confident of hitting the bulls-eye at Beverley on Thursday.

Les Eyre's VAN GERWEN (2.50 Beverley) can make a dart for glory in a cracking 5f handicap at the East Yorkshire track.

The speedster was out with the washing on the all-weather at Wolves last time, but he is a stone better on turf.

He returns to the green stuff off a dangerous mark having won a course and distance handicap off his current rating in September.

He has fared well with the draw in stall five and he boasts a formidable record in Class 5 handicaps on grass, with form figures at this level of 412151.

The son of Bahamian Bounty appreciates cut in the ground, so the forecast rainfall is definitely welcome.
