Expect a show of class from Haggas hope

Tips: Patient approach paying off

FORM FANCIES The Prof at Yarmouth Best bet: MARILYN (3.40). Each-way double: MUSHTAQ (4.10) and THE KING’S STEED (5.20).

William Haggas’ patient approach with SEA OF CLASS can continue to pay dividends in Newbury’s Johnnie Lewis Memorial British EBF Stakes.

The Newmarket handler could so easily have thrust this impeccably-bred daughter of Sea The Stars into the Classic maelstrom at Epsom earlier in the month, but instead opted to take a long-term approach with what appears to be a very promising filly indeed.

She will be having just her third start, having been narrowly edged out on her Newmarket maiden bow in April before opening her account in a Listed heat at this track last month.

Sea Of Class impressed with a twolength victory that day, coming from last to first off a bit of a muddling pace, before passing the post with plenty seemingly in hand.

She must shoulder a 3lb penalty for that win as she lines up over the same 10 furlongs, but her Group One entries in the near future demonstrate the regard in which she is held and it will be disappointing if she cannot hit the mark again before stepping up in class.

GLENCADAM MASTER can defy top weight in the Burlington Palm Hotel Of Great Yarmouth Handicap at the seaside venue.

His recent second in first-time blinkers showed little promise, though, and if he can take a more restrained approach through the early stages, he might have enough in reserve.
