3.45 Yarmouth - Listed John Musker Fillies' Stakes
Al Asifah is the star on a cracking Yarmouth card this afternoon in the Listed EBF Stallions John Musker Fillies' Stakes (3:45) with a Royal Ascot disappointment to put right.

If the Gosden and Shadwell contender disappoints, it could be Infinite Cosmos for Sir Michael Stoute who strikes having finished a good third behind subsequent Oaks winner Soul Sister in the Musidora Stakes.
Charlie Appleby's Sapphire Seas won a Class 3 Handicap at Haydock earlier this month and remains progressive.
3.10 Yarmouth - Stoute team sends out Royal runner
The EBF Future Stayers Maiden Stakes (3:10) tends to throw up a good horse and plenty of big-name trainers have runners on show.
Sir Michael Stoute won it in 2017 with the classy Regal Reality and runs Reaching High for The King and The Queen, having finished a disappointing eighth on debut.
Charlie Appleby runs both Honest Desire and €200,000 purchase Edge Of Blue, an exciting son of Blue Point.
New Bay colt Primo Lara is another to note on debut for Marco Ghiani and Jane Chapple-Hyam.
4.20 Yarmouth - Bertie hoping to set up Cambridgeshire bid
Later on the card, the Moulton Nurseries Handicap (4:20) features Lord Bertie who will be aiming to win and head to the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket later this month.
He was hampered on the hat-trick bid at Chester and should improve further for the William Haggas team.
Godolphin runs two in the race with Return To Dubai looking to follow up after winning at Chelmsford, whilst First Sight looks to make up from a poor run on handicap debut.
