Classy Boy, trained by Karl Burke, is highly favored to continue his impressive form with a victorious return in the Alan McGuinness And Robin Lunness Memorial Handicap at Beverley on Thursday. Despite failing to secure a win as a two-year-old, Classy Boy consistently performed well, finishing in the top three in almost all of his races. After qualifying for a handicap mark of 74 at York in September, he finished a respectable third behind Politico before narrowly missing out on a win at Knavesmire the following month. Castrated during the off-season, Classy Boy is expected to make further progress upon his return, making him a strong contender in the race. The form of the Burke yard is also a positive factor in his chances.
At Chelmsford, Cavalluccio, under the guidance of Alice Haynes, is anticipated to thrive in the Best Odds Guaranteed At bet365 Handicap, a race run over a distance of a mile and a quarter. He has previously triumphed three times at the course and distance and is expected to perform well once again.
