6.20 Yarmouth - Godolphin run two in hot fillies' maiden
The British Stallion Studs EBF Maiden Fillies' Stakes (6:20) at Yarmouth looks right up to scratch with some good debut performers and exciting pedigrees on show.

Charlie Appleby also sends Faithful Springs with James Doyle on board, although the debut fifth at Newmarket will need improving on.
3.10 Bath - Bussento to break duck?
The third meeting of the day is down at Bath, with the Latest Prices On bresbet.com Restricted Maiden Stakes (3:10) surely at the mercy of the 84-rated Bussento.
Eve Johnson Houghton's three-year-old has placed in five of nine starts and having had the gelding operation, will surely never get a better chance to bag a first career success.

Watch Bath, Yarmouth and Brighton on Sky Sports Racing on Wednesday 9 August.
