How competitive is the Beverley Silver Cup market? When looking at the over-rounds for the last 20 renewals, the most competitive market was in 2024, when the race had an over-round of 107%. The race in 2010 was a race that was most in the bookie's favour with an over-round of 128%, whilst on average over the last 20 renewals of the Beverley Silver Cup, the over-round has been 116%, which means the bookie expects to pay out £100 for every £116 which is bet.

Below you will find the 2026 Beverley Silver Cup Trends. See which patterns have occurred over the recent renewals that you may be able to use for the next renewal. We also have a section that looks at the Beverley Silver Cup Trend Analysis.

These are the top three quickest-run Beverley Silver Cup races over the last 20 renewals:

  1. Eastern Aria (2:01.00) in 2009
  2. London Citizen (2:01.84) in 2013
  3. Teslin (2:02.24) in 2007

Looking at the future form, is the winner worth following next time out? Over the past 20 renewals, if you had followed the winner of the Beverley Silver Cup next time out, then you would have backed a total of 4 winners. Backing all 19 runners who have been out since their win at SP next time out would have returned an LSP of +7.25. Remember to bookmark the racing tips page to access the OLBG racing picks easily daily.

The runner that holds the record over the past 20 renewals for the slowest time in the race was set in the 2023 renewal when Aimeric from Roger Varian under the guidance of Jack Mitchell, won in a time of 2:36.21, whilst at the other end of the spectrum, Eastern Aria, trained by Mark Johnston and ridden by Silvestre De Sousa set the quickest time of 2:01.00 in the 2009 renewal.

What the expert says...
Form certainly looks key; seven of the last sixteen winners won last time out, and ten finished top two last time out, including five of the last six.
