The EBF Stallions John Musker Fillies' Stakes at Yarmouth, the feature race on the card, has attracted a strong field of twelve runners, including Technique, who heads the betting on the back of three creditable efforts. However, I am very attracted to the double-figure price generally available about CHIASMA (best price 14-1), who is Frankie’s only ride on the card and makes plenty of each-way appeal with most firms offering a generous four places.

Frankie Dettori, who by my reckoning, will only deal his cards on a rare basis during the week, must feel as though he has some sort of a chance here, as he makes the long journey to the Norfolk venue for his only ride of the day. As a matter of fact, his strike-rate around this venue is quite remarkable operating at an outstanding 47% with nine winners from just nineteen rides. He’s also riding ever so well of late, too, at 38% with six winners from his last eighteen. This filly by Galileo was comfortably held in a listed event when last spotted but I came down to the assumption that she didn’t stay the trip given how well she travelled before until fading out of contention inside the final furlong. This will require a career-best but this contest looks like it may have been the plan for a while and I can see her running a big race.

Just the six runners on show here but ROPEY GUEST (best price 10-1), shaped better than the beaten margin indicated last time and, despite being hard to win with, he has loads of good form to his name and remains interesting from a workable mark with conditions to suit.

He had continued to run well without posing too much of a threat in big-field handicaps this season, including at Royal Ascot twice this year. He has, surprisingly, only tasted victory once in his career but offered a lot more when fifth in a smaller-field scenario last time, where he travelled noticeably strongly. He’s thrice placed in pattern-class company in the past so he certainly has the ability to win a race if this nature and is worth one more go in the hope that Marie’s Diamond sets a strong gallop which will favour this four-year-old, who has the addition of the returning cheek-pieces which could help him get back to something near his best. 

Mostahdaf may have finished a lot closer in the St James’s Palace at Royal Ascot with a clear passage but, even so, I think the bookmakers have the front two in the market in the wrong order as SIR BUSKER (best price 3-1) (NAP) is rated six-pound higher than the former and unquestionably has the strongest form on display with Oisin Murphy reunited in the saddle. 

The five-year-old was a big improver last term and proved he handled dig in the ground when fourth in the Group 1 QEII on soft going over this trip, where he was only half-a-length behind Palace Pier at the end. He had his excuses for his first two starts this term but looked on good terms with himself when producing a career-best to finish third in the Queen Anne last month and put behind him a rare-below par effort in the Summer Mile when second in the Group 3 Sovereign Stakes which has worked out strongly as the fourth, Solid Stone and fourth, King Vega, have won since and he then turned in an excellent fourth in the Group 3 City Of York Stakes behind Space Blues. There are dangers everywhere you turn but he’s the clear top-rated in the field, handles the ground and with all of those contributing factors taken into account, William Knight’s charge should go close to winning the Chasemore Farm Fortune Stakes and is the day’s NAP.
