14:15 – Moss And Co Hospitality Nursery Handicap
Race Details: 1m | Class 6 | Going: GOOD TO SOFT, Good in places (GoingStick 4.9) | | flat
This looks a fairly ordinary 2yo nursery rather than a deep one, and that usually means the race can turn on who handles the mile and the ground best rather than any standout piece of form. Ariane Sky arrives after a win and a solid third, so she sets a sensible standard from a handy low draw, while Whiskey Galore shaped like this trip would suit when runner-up last time and is another obvious player. Casablanca Dream is interesting now handicapping off 67 for a yard that can do well with this type, and Theft has a fair bit of appeal on the figures if putting things together at the right time. Tricky enough, yes, but not impossible — there are a few with chances and a few who look badly exposed already.
Top Selections
1. Ariane Sky – 3/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Rossa Ryan | Trainer: James Owen | Form: 55413 | Rating: 71 | Topspeed: 60
Ariane Sky is the one I want on side because she comes here with the most persuasive recent profile. She got off the mark two starts ago and backed that up with a perfectly respectable third off this mark, which suggests the assessor hasn’t got on top of her yet. A rating of 71 is workable in a race of this standard, and stall 1 around Yarmouth over a mile should suit if Rossa Ryan can hold a position early. She looks straightforward, arrives in form and has already shown she can be competitive in nurseries. At 3/1, she is hardly hidden, but she still makes most appeal.
Bet: WIN
2. Theft – 9/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Darragh Keenan | Trainer: George Scott | Form: 756 | Rating: 69 | Topspeed: 64
Theft looks the each-way angle at the prices. He hasn’t done enough yet to be called solid, but that Topspeed figure of 64 is the best in the field and catches the eye in a race where plenty of these are still muddling through their education. He drops in with just 124lb, which is no bad thing on easing ground for a 2yo, and George Scott’s juveniles can step forward once entering handicaps. The bare form figures don’t scream confidence, but this is a weak enough nursery for a bit of latent ability to go a long way. At 9/1, he’s the value each-way punt.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Ariane Sky is the win play because she brings the strongest current form into a modest contest and looks reliable enough to deliver. Theft is the each-way alternative, with his Topspeed figure giving him a better chance than the market might suggest. The obvious dangers are Whiskey Galore, who should stay the mile, and Casablanca Dream, who could improve now switched into nursery company.

14:45 – Infobond EBF Restricted Maiden Stakes (Bands B, C & D) (EBF Restricted Qualifier) (GBB/GBBPlus Race)
Race Details: 1m 1f | Class 4 | Going: GOOD TO SOFT, Good in places (GoingStick 4.9) | | flat
This looks a fairly informative restricted maiden rather than a weak one, with the market understandably revolving around Wykehurst Park after a promising debut third and the once-raced newcomer Howluckyweare from the Haggas yard. Crown Ranger has the most established body of form and sets a solid standard on his rating, while Cracking Idea also brings credible placed efforts into the race and gets weight from some of the principals. The step up to 1m1f is a major theme here, especially for the exposed runners, and on this easing ground you want a juvenile who shapes as though stamina will help rather than hinder. It is not impossible to solve, but there are enough unexposed types in the line-up to stop it being a straightforward betting heat.
Top Selections
1. Wykehurst Park – 11/10 with William Hill
Jockey: Oisin Murphy | Trainer: Andrew Balding | Form: 3 | Rating: 85 | Topspeed:
He is the obvious one, but not a flimsy favourite. That debut third reads well in the context of this race and an opening mark of 85 tells its own story in a restricted maiden. Balding’s youngsters often improve plenty from first to second start, and with Oisin Murphy taking over from stall 1 there should be no excuses if he is good enough. The extra furlong looks likely to suit judged on both the rating and the strength of the market behind him. At around even money to 11/10 he is not exactly hidden, but he sets the standard and is hard to oppose. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Cracking Idea – 13/2 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Billy Loughnane | Trainer: Ed Dunlop | Form: 53 | Rating: 77 | Topspeed: 50
If you want to play against the short one for place purposes, Cracking Idea makes some appeal. He has already shown useful promise in two starts, improving from fifth to third, and that rating of 77 gives him a realistic platform in this company. He also gets 3lb from the colts on 133, which is no bad thing in a race where small margins may matter late on. Billy Loughnane is a positive booking and the step up to 1m1f could unlock a bit more. Available at 13/2, she looks the value each-way option if the favourite proves as good as expected. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple: Wykehurst Park is the win bet, as he brings the best single piece of form and has the profile of a colt ready to take a step forward. For an each-way punt, Cracking Idea appeals most at the prices. Crown Ranger is the obvious danger on experience, while Howluckyweare is the interesting unknown if strong in the market.

15:15 – Dan Hague, Rails Bookmaker Nursery Handicap
Race Details: 6f | Class 4 | Going: GOOD TO SOFT, Good in places (GoingStick 4.9) | | flat
This looks a proper nursery rather than a weak late-season scramble, with several unexposed 2yos meeting battle-hardened sorts on workable marks. Catching Dreams heads the market after just two starts and is the obvious one to beat for Charlie Appleby, but he is hardly hiding from the assessor off 86 and has to prove himself in the rougher world of handicaps. Eighth Immortal has been knocking hard on the door and brings the standout Topspeed figure, while Soldier Of The Sea and Dubai Charm have form that gives them every chance if the race sets up right. With 11 declared and softening ground at Yarmouth, this is the sort of contest where pace, tractability and value matter just as much as raw ability. Tricky, yes, but not impossible.
Top Selections
1. Eighth Immortal – 9/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Kieran Shoemark | Trainer: Jack Jones | Form: 2332 | Rating: 90 | Topspeed: 90
He has the profile of a colt who has been running into decent races without quite getting his head in front, and that consistency can be underrated in nurseries. The 2332 formline reads well enough, but the really eye-catching piece is that Topspeed mark of 90, which says he has already run to a level that makes him very dangerous in this company. Drawn in 5, he should be able to get a sensible tow into the race, and Shoemark is a strong booking for one who may need delivering late. At 9/1, he looks overpriced against less exposed but shorter rivals. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Soldier Of The Sea – 6/1 with Betfair
Jockey: Tom Marquand | Trainer: William Knight | Form: 124 | Rating: 83 | Topspeed: 72
There is a fair chance this mark of 83 underestimates him a touch. His 124 form suggests a youngster who has already shown he can handle a race properly, and the latest fourth was hardly a backward step in the context of moving into stronger company. Tom Marquand catches the eye here, and William Knight’s juveniles can be tough enough when switched into handicaps. Stall 10 is not ideal if they edge stands’ side only late, but over this sharp 6f at Yarmouth it is no graveyard draw either. Around 6/1, he makes plenty of each-way appeal in a race where some of the shorter ones still have questions to answer. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Eighth Immortal is the win play at a price that looks a bit too big for the horse with the best established speed figure in the field. Soldier Of The Sea is the each-way punt in a race where solid nursery form could easily trump hype. Catching Dreams is the obvious danger on potential, while Dubai Charm also makes the shortlist if bouncing back from his last run.

15:45 – Boodles Handicap
Race Details: 6f | Class 3 | Going: GOOD TO SOFT, Good in places (GoingStick 4.9) | | flat
This has the look of a proper sprint handicap rather than a straightforward punting heat, especially with a couple of non-runners already taking shape out of the race. Midnight Thunder and Pilu head the market for good reason, but neither is bombproof in a field where several arrive with bits of form that make them dangerous. Kodi Lion comes here on the back of a win, Art Lover has been knocking on the door, and Another Abbot is the sort who can bounce back quickly for a yard that targets these races well. The ground will matter at this sharp trip and, at 6f around Yarmouth, getting into a rhythm early is usually half the battle. It is a competitive little Class 3, but not an impossible puzzle if you side with the runners still open to progress.
Top Selections
1. Pilu – 9/2 with William Hill
Jockey: Joe Leavy | Trainer: Roger Teal | Form: -62581 | Rating: 100 | Topspeed: 88
Pilu makes plenty of appeal here as a 3yo who may still have a bit more to offer in sprint handicaps. He got the job done last time and did it in the style of a horse who is learning his trade rather than one who has reached his ceiling. An opening draw is no bad thing if he breaks cleanly, and carrying 131 leaves him well enough treated against older rivals. Roger Teal’s sprinters are often tough and straightforward, and Joe Leavy knows how to deliver one late. At 9/2 he looks a fair win play in a race where some of the better-known older names have less room for manoeuvre. Bet: WIN
2. Art Lover – 7/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Tom Marquand | Trainer: William Haggas | Form: 87-242 | Rating: 99 | Topspeed: 83
Art Lover is shaping like the type to nick one of these before long and he makes plenty of each-way appeal. His recent form figures of 242 tell the story: he has been running well without quite getting his head in front, but there is no disgrace in that and he remains lightly raced enough to think there is more in the tank. Tom Marquand is an eye-catching booking, William Haggas has another runner in Another Abbot, and this one gets in with just 128. The wide draw is the obvious niggle, but at 7/1 he still looks the value option if the race unfolds kindly and he can pounce late. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Pilu is the main bet here; he has the profile of the runner most likely to improve past this mark and can be backed to win. Art Lover is the each-way play at a workable price, especially with his low weight and solid recent efforts. Midnight Thunder is the danger if building on that latest second, while Kodi Lion is not easily dismissed after getting back on track.

16:15 – Goffs Two Million Series Handicap (GBBPlus Race)
Race Details: 1m 6f | Class 4 | Going: GOOD TO SOFT, Good in places (GoingStick 4.9) | | flat
This is a properly competitive staying handicap rather than a race full of obvious weak links, and the market has understandably centred on a few with solid recent profiles. Divine Knight sets the standard on official figures and has been running respectably in stronger company, but he is giving weight away all round and doesn’t look bombproof at a short price. Zachary Hickes arrives in good order after a win and a runner-up effort, while Heroics is the unexposed 3yo with momentum after getting the job done last time. St Mawes is consistent enough to have a say if the race falls right, and Tai Hang Pegasus is another younger horse who could easily outrun his price. It looks a tricky puzzle, with the balance between proven stamina and late-season improvement likely to decide it.
Top Selections
1. Heroics – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Rossa Ryan | Trainer: Alan King | Form: -24151 | Rating: 86 | Topspeed: 60
Heroics is the one I want on side. He is still learning his trade as a 3yo stayer, but the profile is exactly the sort you want in a race like this: lightly raced, progressive and coming here off a win. That latest success suggested he is starting to put things together, and an opening mark in the mid-80s may not have his measure just yet. Rossa Ryan is a notable booking for one with tactical pace from a handy low draw, and the 133lb makes him very interesting against older rivals carrying lumps more. Available at 9/2, he looks the percentage call rather than an adventurous one. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Tai Hang Pegasus – 12/1 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Kaiya Fraser | Trainer: Charlie Fellowes | Form: 762313 | Rating: 80 | Topspeed: 71
Tai Hang Pegasus appeals as the each-way play because he has been quietly knocking on the door in the right sort of races and still looks a workable handicapper. His recent figures read well enough without shouting from the rooftops, and that can be useful in these middle-distance handicaps where the obvious ones are often overbet. He gets in here with just 133lb, has a decent draw in four and his rating of 80 gives him room to be competitive if seeing out the trip strongly. At 12/1 with three places on offer, he looks the value alternative to the shorter-priced principals and the type to keep finding when others have cried enough. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Heroics is the win play, as he has the most persuasive upside in the field and could easily be ahead of his mark. For an each-way punt, Tai Hang Pegasus makes plenty of appeal at double-figure odds with three places on offer. Divine Knight is the obvious danger on class and consistency, while Zachary Hickes is another who must be respected if building on his recent run of form.

16:45 – White Swan Fishermans Fortune Handicap
Race Details: 7f | Class 6 | Going: GOOD TO SOFT, Good in places (GoingStick 4.9) | | flat
This is a proper Yarmouth handicap puzzle rather than a race packed with rock-solid certainties. Plenty arrive with bits and pieces of form that give them a squeak, but not many are obviously ahead of the assessor. Pickering Castle comes here off a win and is entitled to plenty of respect from a handy low draw, while Emery Down and Noble Guest have the sort of profiles that keep them in the argument. Split Elevens is thriving despite his age and Hint Of The Jungle has been knocking loudly on the door before getting back in the winner’s enclosure. The shape of the race suggests track position and a bit of patience over this 7f will matter, especially on easing ground. It looks competitive, but not especially deep, so siding with the right well-treated one could be enough.
Top Selections
1. Pickering Castle – 7/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Jack Dace | Trainer: David Simcock | Form: 8-7761 | Rating: 77 | Topspeed: 59
He makes most appeal after getting his head back in front last time, and that form reads well enough for a race of this modest standard. The key point is that he still looks fairly treated despite that success, especially with just 134 to carry, and stall 2 is no bad place to be around here if he can hold a position early. Simcock’s runner has not been the most consistent horse in training, but this is exactly the level where confidence can carry forward. At 7/2 with Bet365, he is no giveaway, though in a race full of doubts he is the one with the clearest recent positive. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Hint Of The Jungle – 12/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Kieran Shoemark | Trainer: Mike Murphy | Form: 152221 | Rating: 71 | Topspeed: 53
He looks the each-way value in a race where plenty of these are exposed and unreliable. That recent string of figures tells its own story: he has been running his race time and again, and the latest win was no fluke after a sequence of near-misses. He’s up against a few rivals with slightly flashier raw numbers, but his consistency counts for plenty in a Class 6 handicap on softening ground. Shoemark is a positive booking and, from a double-figure stall, he should still be able to slot in if they go a sensible clip. Available at 12/1 with Bet365, he makes plenty of each-way appeal with four places on offer. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Pickering Castle is the win play after that recent success and looks the percentage call in a weakish handicap. For an each-way punt, Hint Of The Jungle stands out at the prices given how solid his recent profile is. Emery Down and Split Elevens are the obvious dangers, while Noble Guest has the class edge on figures if bouncing back.

17:15 – LA Continental Cafe Of Great Yarmouth Handicap
Race Details: 1m | Class 5 | Going: GOOD TO SOFT, Good in places (GoingStick 4.9) | | flat
This looks a proper end-of-card handicap: plenty in with some sort of chance, but not many you would want to trust blindly. Timely Affair arrives chasing a four-timer and is the obvious starting point, while Eduardo Calderon, Khuskhas and Mountain Of Light are the unexposed types among the younger brigade. Born A Rebel is more exposed but keeps knocking on the door, and Dashing Dick has the figures to be involved if this doesn’t find him out at the age of eight. With 15 runners over a mile on easy enough ground, a smooth traveller who can hold position should be favoured, and this may come down to which of the progressive 3yos can cope best with the hurly-burly. Tricky, yes, but not impossible.
Top Selections
1. Eduardo Calderon – 7/1 with Betfair
Jockey: Kaiya Fraser | Trainer: Harry Eustace | Form: -24432 | Rating: 76 | Topspeed: 68
He makes plenty of appeal in a race where some of the market principals may be a bit more exposed than their profiles first suggest. Eduardo Calderon has been running well in defeat, with that recent sequence of placed efforts showing a solid level of consistency, and his Topspeed figure of 68 stands up very well in this field. Drawn 3, he should be able to bag a handy position, which matters in a big-field Yarmouth mile. Harry Eustace’s horses usually know their job in these handicaps, and at 7/1 he looks a fair bit more than just a token alternative to the favourite. He holds strong claims. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Khuskhas – 9/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Robert Havlin | Trainer: Tom Clover | Form: -50142 | Rating: 74 | Topspeed: 67
Khuskhas looks the each-way play because he’s still going the right way and his recent form has a dependable look to it. He won earlier in the campaign and backed that up with a fourth and then a runner-up finish, suggesting he’s holding his level nicely rather than bouncing around in and out of form. The mark of 74 is workable enough, and that Topspeed of 67 says he’s got the raw numbers to go close if things drop right. Robert Havlin is a positive booking for this type of patient ride, and 9/1 with four places on offer gives him obvious each-way appeal in an open race. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Eduardo Calderon is the win play at 7/1, as he brings strong recent form, a good draw and one of the better speed figures in the line-up. Khuskhas is the each-way punt at 9/1 with four places paying. Timely Affair is an obvious danger on the four-timer, while Born A Rebel and Mountain Of Light also make the shortlist in a race where cover and track position could be crucial.
