Bequia can prove point at Yarmouth

Daughter of Helmet can make most of switch to handicap level

BEQUIA has a bit to prove now but can step up to the plate in the Weddings & Private Parties At Yarmouth Racecourse Handicap at the seaside venue.

Martyn Meade’s runner looked a useful type when second on quick ground last August at Newmarket, but she was reportedly unsuited by more testing conditions when disappointing at Yarmouth at the back-end of the last campaign.

She returned to the seaside for her seasonal reappearance and again her supporters were left disappointed as she was beaten over three lengths into third as an odds-on shot.

Bequia might have snatched second in another stride or two, but it was a bit of a letdown that she could not take top honours.

Meade switches to handicap level here and the daughter of Helmet can take full advantage. SINGAPORE SLING can make the most of his mark of 73 by winning the

John Kemp 4 X 4 Centre Of Norwich Handicap.

MUSICAL TERMS let down favourite backers at Chester but should be given a chance to redeem himself in the BBC Radio Norfolk Maiden Stakes.

Musical Terms sports the colours of the Queen, as does MERLIN, who looks a good shout in the Lakes Luxury Lodges At Far Grange Handicap at Wetherby.

A mark of 79 might leave Michael Bell with a little something to work with. SELECTIONS:
