Today on Sky Sports Racing: Fontwell and Yarmouth

We have a busy day's racing on Wednesday with action from Fontwell and Yarmouth, live on Your Site Racing...

A fascinating QuinnBet Maiden Fillies' Stakes opens the card at Yarmouth with Quadrillion and Shushu sure to be popular.

Shushu made a solid debut when runner-up at Haydock last month and given the way she shaped, you would be hoping she can improve with racing and extra yardage.

Harry Charlton's Quadrillon has been well-supported on both her starts and showed ability when third at Newmarket first time. Second to the classy Alparslan at Leicester on her next outing, she makes appeal on this seasonal return under Lewis Edmunds.

Starlight Lass has a lovely pedigree and must be monitored in the market, while Yimmna cost 650,000 euros as a yearling and is another to note.

Granny Hawkins bids for another success in this Celebrating The Life Of Trevor Schooley Handicap Hurdle at Fontwell.

The Alan King-trained seven-year-old arrives in red-hot form having scored on her last three outings, including when justifying favouritism at Stratford in April. Up six pounds and reappearing after a break, she sets the standard under Tom Bellamy.

Faye Brambley's Almuhit ran a cracker when fourth at the Punchestown festival in April and, having had a spin on the flat, he should be fit enough to go close in this grade.

Sun Joy made an encouraging start to last season when winning at Ludlow but will need to build on his recent effort at this track last month.

Sprightly Dance headlines a field of 11 for this Royal Ascot On Your Site Racing Handicap at Yarmouth.

Roger Varian's charge scored comfortably on her second outing at Wolverhampton in October and was sent off a warm favourite when only fourth at Chelmsford the follow month. She makes her handicap debut as she drops back to a mile and better will be expected under Jack Mitchell.

James Ferguson saddles Cavolo Nero, who is a consistent type and sports first-time blinkers as he bids to enhance his form back to a mile.

Others to consider include Padua, who impressed when winning off four pound lower at Haydock and has undergone a gelding operation since last seen in August.

Competitive action from Happy Valley

4.00 Fontwell - Special John among four runners for this Class Four contest.

2.30 Fontwell - Viscountess Nelson fancied for Nicky Henderson and James Bowen.
