On the East Anglian seaside stage, Great Yarmouth Racecourse will stage a six-race evening programme on Wednesday, 20 May, featuring juvenile novice contests alongside a sequence of handicap events across sprint, middle-distance and staying divisions. The fixture will include races ranging from 5f 42y to 1m 6f 17y and will provide opportunities for both emerging two-year-old talent and experienced campaigners across a varied schedule.

Run over 5f 42y, the contest will offer £11,000 in prize money and will be restricted to two-year-old fillies. The opening event will feature 11 runners, including Alpaca’s Bullet, Halliwell Stream, Harlequin Sky, Havana Grey Star, Havana Lightning, Havana Sprite and Minnie Bear.
