The Tuesday card promises a bustling schedule, featuring flat racing from both Ffos Las and Yarmouth, all broadcast live on Sky Sports Racing. Among the highlights is the British Stallion Studs EBF Novice Stakes, where two promising contenders are expected to make an impact. First up is Mithaaly, a filly trained by George Boughey, who caught the attention of punters at Windsor with an impressive finish.
After being forced to make a slight adjustment two furlongs from the line, she rallied and stayed on strongly, demonstrating a turn of foot that suggests she will thrive over the added distance of the Yarmouth race. This year‑old, purchased for 260,000 guineas, appears to have a solid foundation and could well be the first to break her maiden at this meeting. Also featuring is Noble Prince, a newcomer owned by Godolphin and handled by Charlie Appleby. The colt, a son of the legendary Frankel, is making his debut in the same novice contest.
Appleby’s record with two‑year‑olds this season is notable – 13 wins from 29 starts, a 45 % strike‑rate – indicating that Noble Prince will be well‑prepared for his first run. If the trainer’s recent form is any indication, the young Frankel offspring could be a serious threat to the field. Another horse to watch is Majestic Jude, also a debutant.
He carries the distinction of being a half‑brother to Atomic Force, the 2021 Group Two Prix Robert Papin winner. The family connection adds a layer of intrigue, and recent performances from his stablemate Note To Self – a narrow head‑second at Windsor – suggest that Majestic Jude may have the class to challenge for the win. For fans who want to stay up‑to‑date with the latest racing news, interviews and feature pieces, the Sky Sports Racing app offers a convenient way to follow every development from the palm of your hand. Turning to the Dragonbet / Martin Davies Handicap, the in‑form filly Flyta is the one to beat.
She broke her maiden tag just a month ago over the same course and distance, following a promising run at Windsor that hinted at her ability to handle the track. With a clear lead and a reputation for quickening in the final furlongs, Flyta looks poised to repeat her success and add another victory to her résumé. Other entries in the handicap include Sofian, who has shown ability over the same course and distance but suffered a saddle slip in his last outing, and the improving Newbury‑trained Distinct Spirit, who is looking for his first win after a series of consistent performances. Bahraini jockey Ebrahim Nader will be aboard one of the contenders, adding an international flavor to the race.
The Maiden Fillies’ Stakes will feature a small yet selective field. Among them, Summerson – a full‑sister to Noble Style – set a respectable standard by staying on gamely to finish a close second to Sandringham ninth, Crownright. While her pedigree includes a flash of Gimcrack success, the longer trip at Yarmouth may suit her better, especially given her half‑sister Little Dorrit’s proven stamina over twelve furlongs.
This lineage suggests Summerson could improve markedly with the added distance. Seacole, a full‑sister to the useful two‑year‑old Seacruiser, has already shown promise in two starts and appears well‑suited to the twelve‑furlong distance on offer. Her breeding indicates she will stay on strongly, making her a contender for a place, if not the win. Cracking Beauty is another filly bred for endurance.
Although she was caught too far back in a recent Kempton race, she displayed a strong finishing kick and is expected to benefit from a more favorable trip at Yarmouth, where her stamina can be fully exploited. The race card also includes a number of notable runners at specific odds: at 2.35, Educator is looking to return to winning ways after a series of promising runs; at 5.25, Thapa VC heads the field with strong support from bettors; and at 8.00, a competitive nine‑runner handicap at Ffos Las rounds out the day’s action.
Overall, Tuesday’s programme offers a blend of seasoned performers and fresh talent, each with a story to tell. Whether you are tracking the progress of a well‑bred yearling like Mithaaly, hoping to see a Godolphin debutant such as Noble Prince make an impact, or simply enjoying the tactical battles in the handicaps, there is plenty to anticipate.
