There are quite a few interesting races scattered around the programme on Wednesday, including the Listed Rothesay Stakes for fillies and mares up at Ayr, but the seven-furlong handicap at Yarmouth could offer the best bet of the day as Realize (4.30) attempts to record his first win on turf since July 2013.
Realize has made a name for himself as an all-weather performer, and managed to finish sixth of 12 runners in the All-Weather Sprint Championship on Finals day at Lingfield last month. He is undoubtedly better on artificial surfaces than he is on turf, but his handicap mark reflects that – 102 versus 81 – and this afternoon’s race is his first for Dave Simcock after he was sold for 26,000gns earlier this month.
