Godolphin duo ones to beat in feature Yarmouth handicap

-

An excellent Yarmouth card with a ?20,000 handicap alongside some Group action from Deauville – featuring Hollie Doyle – headlines an exciting Sunday on Sky Sports Racing.

2:15 Yarmouth – Bin Suroor double-handed in feature

The Moulton Nurseries Handicap (2:15) looks the highlight on the Yarmouth card and has attracted a good field of eight, including top weights Brilliant Light and Marching Army, both from the Saeed bin Suroor yard.

Brilliant Light could well go off favourite, having finished an excellent second in the Chesterfield Cup at Glorious Goodwood, whilst Marching Army makes his second appearance of the season after finishing fourth at York last month.

Of the others, both Protected Guest and Commonsensical finished behind the highly progressive Juan De Montalban at Ascot last time out, with Arqoob for the William Jarvis team is also an interesting contender after a fourth in a big field handicap at Sandown last weekend.

3:30 Deauville – Tempus and Doyle combine in Group Three heat

A weekend rarely goes by without a Hollie Doyle winner and she has a good chance over in France on Sunday in the Group Three Barriere Prix Quincey (3:30) at Deauville with Archie Watson’s Tempus.

The six-year-old won an Ascot handicap two starts ago before landing a Salisbury Group Three last time out and will bid to repeat the trick at the French venue here.

In opposition, Jane Chapple-Hyam goes for another French Group prize with International Angel, whilst In Crowd runs for the home team having taken a Listed prize in fine style earlier this season.
