Pair of wins at Chelmsford over the winter at this trip and 2m were achieved when coming from off the pace with late run, so can benefit if there's pace on here. Still 5lb clear of previous win-mark.

Toiling on most recent starts on the level last year and when last sighted over hurdles in November; handicap mark continues to slide and has gone well fresh in the past so any market confidence would be noted.

Frankel filly was consistent though hardly progressive for Sir Michael Stoute, took a Lingfield novice over 1m2f on the AW when last sighted in December. Interesting debuting for new connections.

Some promise in handicaps last year, including when second over 2m at Kempton on final start in August (flattered by proximity to the winner). Needs to have improved over the winter break.

Racked up a five-timer in 2018 after arriving from France to this yard, albeit in low-grade staying handicaps. Remains 7lb clear of previous win-mark and wasn't noted for consistency last year.

September's runner-up effort at Salisbury (1m6f, good to firm; 3-1) would give her some claims but she endured a disappointing winter campaign over jumps/on AW and has something to prove as a result.

Loves it here, finishing out of the first two just once in seven visits (three wins). First visit here since 2018 but was a Bath winner four starts ago and Silvestre De Sousa has an excellent record on the mare.

Won three times over 2m+ back in the autumn, capable of having a say from current mark but will need this to be a thorough stamina test to be at home.

Four-time course winner at up to 1m3½f, including a hat-trick in the summer of 2018. Just a second appearance for this trainer when readily scoring over this trip at Chelmsford in March and needs considering despite being 5lb higher now.

Opened his account with 1m6f Southwell success in October (raced prominently); however, he let favourite backers down back there over 2m soon after and needs to prove himself on turf.

13:20 Yarmouth - 3 June 2020 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

The booking of Silvestre De Sousa catches the eye on Yarmouth specialist HOPE IS HIGH as she returns here for the first since 2018. The former champion jockey gets on very well with the mare, who has been out of the first two just once in seven visits. She's 2lb lower than when last scoring over C&D and gets the nod despite concerns about the break. Bartholomew J also relishes this place and, having scored readily on the AW in March on second run for this yard, he is respected. Dubious Affair should be in the mix while Johnny Kidd is a possible improver.
