Last year, on my first visit to the Westwood in a great many years, I saw Tis Marvellous run out a decisive winner of this race.
I was particularly glad to be there because it was not only a track record, but the first time any racehorse had covered Beverley’s stiff dog-leg 5f in under a minute.
This seemed to escape the racecourse on the day, but I was happy to set them straight about it on social media.
Tis Marvellous has been put in at 5/1 to win it again.
He’s not shown a great deal in two outings this year, and he’s an 8yo now, but he drops from Group 1 to Listed company for this and only a big field and a very high (wide) draw can stop him making another bold bid in my view.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"Existent @ 14/1 + for me, very capable on a going day, should get taken along will be held
Onto, hopefully get the gaps,Nice betting race atleast
Existent definitely entitled to be on the premises in a Listed contest where ten of the entries have OR of 109-101.
As usual in tight races with decent-sized fields over 5f at Beverley, a low draw will be a significant edge on ground which is Good or quicker.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"Sticking with Ainsdale here, and I’m sure he’s got a prize like this in him. Thought he ran a really decent race in The Chipchase, and they were happy to declare him for The Nunthorpe.
I made a mess of him in The Chipchase, missing the EW when he was a crazy price, and having stupidly missed the 20’s Antepost, I was also missed the opening 16’s. Managed to nick 12’s though, and hopeful of a big run.
Ainsdale 12’s
The 5/1 Tis Marvellous is long gone and I still think he has a favourite’s chance in this.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"Plumped for Existent; arguably down a level or two from previous races, a good draw as well.
Best of luck to all
Bollocks thought I had it there for a sec , he,s a bloody hard horse to win with
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
“The 5/1 Tis Marvellous is long gone and I still think he has a favourite’s chance in this.”
What a marvellous horse Tis Marvellous is.
Away smartly as when I was there last year, but stays a stiff 5f so well and none stiffer than Beverley’s.
The Westwood five found out Arecibo close home, but not him.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"Forgot to post in here but did put the winner up in my Daily lays and plays thread last night
Was a little worried about the horse on his outside until I realised it was arecibo who finds little to nothing in a battle
Tis marvelous Would be a great horse to own
Ian I hope they look at the Ayr gold cup for Arecibo , he was 7th a few years back , first of the high drawn horses that year when you wanted to be low , I could see him running well again if got the right draw
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
Arecibo is an interesting horse.
He won at 6f and even 6f110yds in France, but he doesn’t find much under pressure and it looked to me like Tis Marvellous just outstayed him – or wanted it more – over Beverley’s stiff 5f today.
He would have been getting 7lb off the length and a quarter winner in a handicap and that suggests to me he is, at best, only a pound or two ahead of his current OR.
In any event, I cannot see him among the Ayr Gold Cup entries.
