14:10 – QuinnBet Second To The Favourite “Hands And Heels” Apprentice Handicap (Part Of Racing Excellence)

Race Details: 7f | Class 6 | Going: 5.1) (Soft (goingstick) | | flat

This has thinned out into a small but still quite competitive 7f handicap after the non-runners, and it doesn’t look a deep Class 6 by Yarmouth standards. Heretic heads the market and is easy enough to see why after shaping well in third last time, while Rusheen Boy brings a recent win and generally solid profile to the table. Divine Wish has become a bit frustrating but is well drawn and not without hope if the race falls right. Sedgemoor is the other one with a realistic shout if forgiven a lesser effort last time. In truth, this looks the sort of race where attitude on soft ground and tactical positioning will matter as much as raw ability, and that makes it slightly trickier than the bare ratings suggest.

Top Selections

1. Heretic – 7/4 with Bet365

Jockey: Jake Dickson | Trainer: Michael Herrington | Form: 043873 | Rating: 73 | Topspeed: 53

Heretic is hardly bombproof, but he does look the most solid option in a race lacking depth. He’s the highest-rated runner in the field and that latest third suggests he’s still capable of making his mark from this sort of mark. The form figures don’t scream reliability, yet he has been knocking on the door often enough and this is not a race packed with unexposed improvers. Jake Dickson takes over for the Herrington yard and, in an apprentice event, a horse with proven toughness and a workable rating counts for plenty. At 7/4 he’s no giveaway, but he does hold the strongest claims if reproducing his latest effort.

Bet: WIN

2. Sedgemoor – 6/1 with Paddy Power

Jockey: Charlie Tucker | Trainer: John Ryan | Form: 141030 | Rating: 69 | Topspeed: 25

Sedgemoor appeals as the value angle if you want something against the favourite. His recent form is a bit mixed, but there are two wins not too far back in the profile and that tells you he can capitalise when things drop right at this level. The latest duck egg needs forgiving, though this is a weaker contest and he’s not badly treated on a mark of 69. Charlie Tucker is on board for John Ryan and, if this one gets into a decent rhythm, he’s more than capable of getting involved late. Available at 6/1, he makes plenty of each-way appeal in a race where a few have questions to answer.

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Heretic is the percentage call and the one to side with for the win, especially with the field lacking much depth. For an each-way punt, Sedgemoor looks the play at 6/1 given his past winning form in this grade. Rusheen Boy is the obvious danger if building on his recent consistency, while Divine Wish is not dismissed from a good draw.

14:45 – Paul Corrigan Memorial Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Race Details: 6f | Class 4 | Going: 5.1) (Soft (goingstick) | | flat

This looks a fair novice rather than a deep one, and the market has probably latched onto the right trio. Upper Hendersyde sets the standard on his debut second and is the obvious one to beat, while Nevasca Cinza brings the strongest body of form after four runs without quite getting his head in front. Anyasi is less exposed than most and shaped with promise on debut for Roger Varian, so he adds a bit of intrigue to the race. The softer ground is an angle worth keeping in mind over 6f at Yarmouth, especially with a few of these either unraced or still learning. Court Alert has the raw figures to feature but arrives off a disappointing reappearance, while several others need big improvement. Not impossible, but it does look fairly straightforward at first glance.

Top Selections

1. Upper Hendersyde – 7/4 with Paddy Power

Jockey: Zac Lloyd | Trainer: Jane Chapple-Hyam | Form: 2 | Rating: 89 | Topspeed: 47

He is hard to oppose on what we’ve seen. A debut second that earned an 89 rating is comfortably the standout single piece of form in the field, and in a novice like this that often proves enough. Jane Chapple-Hyam’s colt should know plenty more now, and the inside draw is no bad thing if Zac Lloyd can hold a handy position and keep him out of trouble. The fact he’s been well found in the market is no surprise, but even at 7/4 he still makes plenty of appeal because the main dangers have either had more chances or still need to prove themselves on this surface. He holds the clearest winning claims.

Bet: WIN

2. Anyasi – 11/2 with Paddy Power

Jockey: Jack Mitchell | Trainer: Roger Varian | Form: 3- | Rating: 77 | Topspeed: 62

Anyasi looks the value alternative if you want to play against the favourite each-way. He made a perfectly respectable start when finishing third on his only run, and that was the sort of debut effort that hinted there should be a fair bit more to come with experience under his belt. Roger Varian’s horses usually improve for a first outing, and Jack Mitchell is a solid booking for a race where track position may matter. He does need to bridge the gap on the bare ratings, but he is one of the few in here with genuine scope. At 11/2, he’s the each-way punt if Upper Hendersyde proves as good as expected but not bombproof.

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Keep it simple: Upper Hendersyde is the win bet and looks the most likely scorer if building on that debut second. Anyasi is the each-way play at a more workable price, especially in a 10-runner race with three places on offer. Nevasca Cinza is the obvious danger, while Court Alert has figures that give him a squeak if bouncing back.

15:20 – Winning Experience With Moulton Racing Handicap

Race Details: 5f | Class 5 | Going: 5.1) (Soft (goingstick) | | flat

This is a compact but rather trappy five-runner sprint, with very little between the principals on official figures and recent form. Neyva’s Angel and Thunder Star sit joint-top on 87, while Al Barez has been knocking loudly on the door with three straight thirds and looks sure to be involved again. Existent is the veteran of the party and has the inside draw, but his recent efforts leave him with a bit to prove, while Travel Agent arrives in decent nick and is not easily dismissed despite a wide stall in a small field. In a race lacking a standout progressive type, it may come down to who handles the softest conditions best and who gets the run of things at the right moment. Not a deep race, but certainly not a gimme either.

Top Selections

1. Al Barez – 7/2 with Paddy Power

Jockey: Jack Mitchell | Trainer: Tom Clover | Form: -48333 | Rating: 86 | Topspeed: 66

Al Barez is the one I want on side in a race where consistency may count for plenty. Those last three runs all resulting in thirds do not scream winner at first glance, but they do paint the picture of a horse holding his form really well in similar company. From stall 2 he should get a handy sit, and Jack Mitchell is exactly the sort you want in a tactical five-runner sprint where timing matters more than theatrics. He is only 1lb below the joint-highest-rated pair and does not have much to find on the figures. Available at 7/2, he looks the percentage call against rivals who all come with at least one nagging question. Bet: WIN

Bet: WIN

Betting Strategy

With only five runners, this is a straight win-only play and Al Barez gets the vote at the prices. He looks solid, straightforward and likely to be thereabouts again. There is no each-way angle in a field this small. Thunder Star is the obvious danger on ratings and recent form, while Neyva’s Angel also has claims if reproducing the better parts of recent efforts.

15:53 – QuinnBet Best Odds Guaranteed Handicap

Race Details: 6f | Class 6 | Going: 5.1) (Soft (goingstick) | | flat

This is not a deep Class 6 by any stretch, but it is the sort of sprint where the ground and track position will matter more than flashy profiles. Walking On Clouds arrives off a win and is the obvious starting point, though he is short enough now in a race featuring a few old hands who are well used to these low-grade scraps. Court Of Session and Chasing Gold both have bits of form that make them interesting if handling conditions, while Prefer The Sister looks the type to keep finding without always getting his head in front. There is not much between several of them on official figures, so this feels more a race for picking the right setup than trusting the market blindly.

Top Selections

1. Walking On Clouds – 13/8 with Bet365

Jockey: Joey Haynes | Trainer: Chelsea Banham | Form: 779531 | Rating: 67 | Topspeed:

He is hardly unexposed as a 7yo, but he comes here in the one bit of solid winning form in the line-up and that counts for plenty in a race like this. The latest success suggests he has dropped to a workable mark, and an official rating of 67 leaves him just 1lb higher than several of these while still looking the horse with the clearest recent momentum. Joey Haynes knows how to ride these sprinters positively, and if Walking On Clouds breaks on terms he should be bang there throughout. At 13/8 he is no giveaway, but he is still the one they all have to beat. Bet: WIN

Bet: WIN

2. Chasing Gold – 15/2 with Bet365

Jockey: Taylor Fisher | Trainer: Michael Keady | Form: 6433-U | Rating: 66 | Topspeed: 60

The case for Chasing Gold is that his recent profile before the latest blot was actually pretty consistent for this level, with a string of placed efforts suggesting he is knocking on the door. That last-time-out unseat is an obvious concern, but it is also the sort of thing the market can overreact to, and his Topspeed figure of 60 is one of the better numbers on offer here. Drawn in stall 1, he should be able to save ground if Taylor Fisher can hold a handy pitch, and 15/2 looks fair in a race where plenty have questions to answer. He makes plenty of each-way appeal. Bet: EACH-WAY

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Walking On Clouds is the straightforward win play because he brings the best recent form and looks well enough treated to follow up despite the shorter price. For an each-way punt, Chasing Gold makes more appeal than some of the other exposed types, especially from a low draw with a decent Topspeed figure behind him. Court Of Session is the obvious danger if bouncing back.

16:28 – QuinnBet Handicap (GBBPlus Race)

Race Details: 1m 3f | Class 4 | Going: 5.1) (Soft (goingstick) | | flat

This looks a tight little Class 4 with plenty of the eight arriving in fair order, but not many hiding from the assessor. Yokohama comes here on the back of a win and is an obvious one to focus on from a handy weight, while Patrol and Moonrunner have been knocking on the door and bring solid recent form to the table. Fox Avatar is arguably the class act on peak efforts for Roger Varian, though he will need to leave his reappearance behind on softer ground. Newtown Duke is another with a live chance if building on his latest third. It is competitive rather than deep, and in a race where several are closely matched on official figures, the ability to handle conditions and see out this 1m3f thoroughly may prove decisive.

Top Selections

1. Yokohama – 5/2 with Bet365

Jockey: Silvestre De Sousa | Trainer: John Butler | Form: 47-051 | Rating: 96 | Topspeed: 88

He makes plenty of appeal. That latest win suggests he has hit his stride again, and the combination of a 96 rating and a strong Topspeed figure of 88 gives him a very solid profile for this grade. What really catches the eye is that he carries only 123, which gives him a bit of room against rivals higher up the weights, and Silvestre De Sousa is exactly the sort you want on a prominent racer around here. At 5/2 he is hardly hiding in the market, but he is the one with the fewest excuses and looks the most likely to run his race. He sets the standard.

Bet: WIN

2. Fox Avatar – 9/2 with Bet365

Jockey: Jack Mitchell | Trainer: Roger Varian | Form: 5151-6 | Rating: 97 | Topspeed: 36

He is the each-way play because there is enough substance in his back form to think he can bounce back sharply from that seasonal return. Before finishing sixth on reappearance he had signed off with two wins from his last three starts, and Varian’s horses often come forward for the run. A mark of 97 still gives him strong claims in this company if he handles the soft well enough, and Jack Mitchell is a good booking for a race that may turn tactical. The 9/2 on offer looks fair rather than spectacular, but in an eight-runner field with three places he makes obvious each-way sense.

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Yokohama is the win bet after a recent success and from a very workable weight for this level. Fox Avatar is the each-way alternative, especially if you are banking on Varian’s runner improving for his comeback. Moonrunner and Patrol are the main dangers, both arriving with solid recent placed form, while Newtown Duke is not one to dismiss lightly either.

17:03 – Download The QuinnBet App Classified Stakes

Race Details: 1m 2f | Class 6 | Going: 5.1) (Soft (goingstick) | | flat

This is not a deep race, but it is the sort of low-grade classified where the shape still matters plenty. Rockafeller Skank is the obvious starting point after getting off the mark last time and, as a 3yo receiving weight from exposed older rivals, he makes plenty of appeal despite the short price. Wrist Art is the solid yardstick among the older brigade, while Zafaan has a bit of back class for this level if returning ready from an absence. The softer ground may inconvenience one or two of these, and in races like this attitude can count for almost as much as raw ability. It looks a fairly ordinary contest on paper, but the favourite does at least bring a clearer recent winning line than most.

Top Selections

1. Rockafeller Skank – 5/4 with Bet365

Jockey: George Wood | Trainer: Richard Spencer | Form: 700-1 | Rating: 23 | Topspeed: 20

You do not need to overcomplicate this. Rockafeller Skank was poor in three qualifying runs, but that is often how these classified types are campaigned, and he took a marked step forward when winning last time. He is still very lightly raced compared to most of these, gets a handy age allowance with just 128lb, and meets a field packed with exposed, moderate older horses who have had plenty of chances. George Wood is a positive booking and the Spencer yard knows the score in races of this nature. At 5/4 he is no giveaway, but he is the one with the most obvious upside and is hard to oppose. Bet type tag: WIN

Bet: WIN

2. Zafaan – 13/2 with Bet365

Jockey: Sean D Bowen | Trainer: Charlie Clover | Form: 81555- | Rating: 61 | Topspeed: 57

If you want to play against the favourite for a place, Zafaan makes more appeal than most. His mark of 61 and Topspeed figure of 57 stack up well in this company, and he was running consistently last season without quite getting his head in front after that win. The obvious question is fitness after the layoff, but Charlie Clover also runs Sapphire Dream, so the yard has a strong hand in the race. Zafaan is drawn a little wider than ideal in 10, though that is less of a concern over this trip at Yarmouth than it would be elsewhere. At 13/2, he looks the sensible each-way punt in a weak race. Bet type tag: EACH-WAY

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Keep it straightforward: Rockafeller Skank is the win bet because he is the only runner arriving off a recent success and still has scope to do better. For an each-way alternative, Zafaan looks the value against exposed rivals. Wrist Art is the obvious danger if reproducing his better recent efforts, while Sapphire Dream is not without place possibilities for the same yard as Zafaan.

17:35 – quinnbet.com Handicap

Race Details: 1m 3f | Class 6 | Going: 5.1) (Soft (goingstick) | | flat

This looks a modest three-year-old handicap to close the card, but it is not without interest. Darkest Red brings the clearest recent form after a pair of runner-up efforts and sets the standard on both rating and Topspeed, while Home Secretary is the intriguing one for the Prescott yard now stepping up in trip on handicap debut territory after a break. There are a few with bits and pieces to recommend them, notably Queen Of Astolat and the low-weighted Cospicua, but plenty also have something to prove on soft ground or over this sort of test. In truth, it is not a deep race, and that usually makes solid, recent handicap form count for plenty around Yarmouth.

Top Selections

1. Darkest Red – 9/4 with Bet365

Jockey: Pat Cosgrave | Trainer: Jim Boyle | Form: 77-622 | Rating: 73 | Topspeed: 66

Darkest Red is the one with the fewest holes in his profile. He has hit the frame on his last two starts, arrives here with the best recent form in the field, and his figures stack up properly for a race of this nature. An opening mark in the low 70s has not looked beyond him, and that Topspeed mark of 66 is comfortably the strongest piece of evidence on offer here. Jim Boyle also runs Bennyworth, but Pat Cosgrave’s mount is plainly the stable first string on form. At 9/4 he is not wildly generous, but in a weak Class 6 he looks the likeliest winner and hard to oppose. Bet type: WIN

Bet: WIN

2. Queen Of Astolat – 13/2 with Bet365

Jockey: Paddy Bradley | Trainer: Charlie Fellowes | Form: 578-6 | Rating: 69 | Topspeed: 58

Queen Of Astolat makes more each-way appeal than most in a race where several of these are still trying to prove they stay and handle a bit of cut. Her reappearance sixth was not spectacular, but it should have brought her forward, and she has enough ability on last year’s efforts to think this mark is workable. The move into a low-grade 1m3f handicap could be the right play, especially with Paddy Bradley booked to keep things simple. At 13/2 she looks a fair each-way punt against a couple of shorter-priced rivals who are asked to improve rather than merely repeat. She is not bombproof, but she does not need to be at the price. Bet type: EACH-WAY

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Darkest Red is the straightforward win bet on the strength of his recent runner-up efforts and superior figures. For an each-way alternative, Queen Of Astolat appeals at a playable price in a race lacking depth. Home Secretary is the obvious danger if the Prescott stepping-up-in-trip angle works straight away, while Cospicua is not entirely dismissed off a light weight.
