Beverley, Salisbury and Yarmouth

Some exotic visitors in the U.K. today. Pride of place goes to French champion trainer André Fabre, who is a regular at such meetings as Royal Ascot, but rarely ventures to British provincial meetings. Today he has for the first time ever a runner at Salisbury, in the listed 10 furlongs race for fillies at 17.05 CET. His entry In the Light (Ryan Moore) is very consistent, having won twice and placed 9 rimes from 12 career starts in France, inckuding an easy win at Longchamp last time out, bvut she has never yet scored at listed level and faces some tough opponents today. Marco Botti´s Nolas Lolly (John Egan) has rn two gopd races in Germany this year and was last time out third to Peace Royale in a mile Group Three at Hamburg. This trip is probably ideal and she must have a fair chance, but so do the 3yo´s Basque Beauty (William Haggas/ Liam Jones), who won an Ascot maiden by 6 lengths on her only 2008 startr, Kotsi (Eddie Vaughan/ Richard Mullen), in front of the last-named last year, Ico Project (Brian Meehan/ Martin Dwyer) and especially Cape Amber (PeterChapple-Hyam/ Alan Munro), dropping in grade after making no show in the Oaks and at Royal Ascot, but from a stable now back in form. It is equally to find Irish trainer Kevin Prendergast with a runner in a 2yo maiden at Beverley, so his debutant Roof Fiddle (Paul Hanagan) must be taken seriously in the 5 furlongs race there at 17.50. Geoffrey (Alan McCabe/ Andrew Elliott), who has been in the money all 3 starts, looks the one to beat. At Yarmouth, the class 5 handicap for 3yo fillies at 16.25 looks the best race on a weak card. Top-weight Whiteoak Lady (Jon Spearing/ Jack Dean), Artistic License (Mick Channon/ Tadge O´Shea) and Hurricane Harriet (Robert Cowell/ Oscar Urbina) all won last Thursday, at three different meetings, and one of them is likely to win again here.
