Yarmouth Listed John Musker Fillies' Stakes Guide 2023

George Wood takes the ride on Harry Eustace-trained Belhaven at Yarmouth on Wednesday.

The four-year-old was last seen finishing fourth of ten over an extended mile and two at Chester, finishing just under three lengths behind Box To Box. She has struggled for form throughout the season, and has plenty to find on the ratings.

Persist represents the William Haggas yard this weekend, and Cieren Fallon takes the ride. The four-year-old will likely be hoping for some rain after finishing a very respectable second to There’s The Door in the Fillies’ Handicap at Goodwood at the start of last month.

However, she has form on good ground after winning over a mile and two at Haydock last year.

Fall In love is the runner for Roger Varian this week, and she will be ride of Kyle Strydom. The four-year-old has won just once from nine career starts on the turf, with her only victory coming on her second start in France in 2021.

However, she returned from a 158-day break in July, finishing last of nine in the Pipalong Stakes at Pontefract.

Hayley Turner takes the ride on Makinmedoit for trainer Harry Eustace this week. The four-year-old has ran with credit over a mile and two this season, most recently finishing third of 13 in the Upavon Fillies’ Stakes at Salisbury.

She drops back in trip this week after finishing a distant tenth over a mile and four at York at the end of August.

Robert Havlin will take the ride on Morning Poem for John & Thady Gosden on Wednesday. The four-year-old is a very lightly-raced contender, having won just once from four career starts on turf.

She won over the distance at Newmarket in June, but was last seen finishing two lengths behind Rousay when fifth in the Upavon Fillies’ Stakes.

Mukaddamah is a runner for Roger Varian this week. Jack Mitchell takes the ride on the four-year-old, who steps back up to a mile and two after finishing over seven lengths behind Heredia when seventh in the Dick Hern Stakes over a mile.

However, she remains a runner of interest based on her effort over an extended mile and two when second behind Midnight Mile in the Lyric Fillies’ Stakes.

Neil Callan takes the ride on Queen Of The Skies for trainer Jane Chapple-Hymas this week. The four-year-old was well beaten on her previous start, as she finished tenth of 13 over a mile and two in the Upavon Fillies’ Stakes at Salisbury.

But, she did post a career-best rating earlier in the season over an extended mile and two when fourth behind Midnight Mile in the Lyric Fillies’ Stakes.

Sparkling Beauty is a runner from the Dominic Ffrench Davis yard this week. Rowan Scott takes the ride on the three-year-old, who is winless from four efforts in stakes company.

She was last seen finishing fifth of 13 in the Upavon Fillies’ Stakes. She looked better suited to shorter trips last season.

Cite d’Or is a runner from the Harry Eustace stable this week, and will be the ride of Pierre-Louis Jamin. The three-year-old has won just twice from eleven starts on the turf, and is without a victory in six efforts in stakes company.

She was last seen finishing 13th, and 52 lengths behind Torito over a mile and two in the Lester Piggott Handicap.

Saffie Osbourne takes the ride on the Ed Walker-trainer Khinjani this week. The three-year-old has plenty to find on ratings, but she is a recent winner over an extended mile and two at Haydock.

She was a decent second on her latest start at Newbury behind Unlimited. This is a step up, but she could be an each-way play.

Infinite Cosmos is a runner for Sir Michael Stoute on Wednesday, and Richard Kingscote takes the ride. The three-year-old is among the highest-rated runners in the field, and was a solid winner at Newmarket over a mile and two in May.

That was followed by an encouraging third behind Soul Sister in the G3 Musidora in May. She’s been off the track for a long time, and that’s a concern.

Hector Crouch will take the ride on La Isla Mujeres this week for trainer Ralph Beckett. The three-year-old has won once from three starts on the turf, but was an excellent winner over course and distance in July in handicap company.

She is among the only runners with previous track experience, and that could count for a lot on Wednesday.

William Buick and Charlie Appleby join forces at Yarmouth with Sapphire Seas on Wednesday. The three-year-old has won on each of her previous three starts, with the most recent victory coming on the turf over a mile and two.

She should be a strong contender based on that previous effort, which saw her beat Veil of Shadows by over two lengths at Haydock.

Jim Crowley takes the ride on the highly-fancied Al Asifah this week for John & Thady Gosden. The three-year-old is clear on ratings after winning over a mile and two in commanding fashion at Haydock and Goodwood earlier this year.

She drops back in trip after finishing sixth in the G2 Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot over a mile and four. Could be hard to beat.
