YALTA is on the radar of many people with Royal Ascot in mind and if those aspirations are to come to fruition, the EBF Stallions Youngsters Conditions Stakes at Pontefract this evening really should be his for the taking.

The Coventry Stakes was mentioned as a likely port of call for the son of Exceed And Excel after he had made a perfect start for Mark Johnston at Goodwood last week.

His claims had not gone unnoticed by punters that day and he was sent off second-favourite behind a Hugo Palmer-trained odds-on shot – but none of the others really got a look in as he made every yard.

Repton tried to challenge but Yalta just had to extend himself a little to win by two lengths and he looks a really smart type.

Obviously Royal Ascot would be another leap up the ladder but this six-furlong event, with William Buick taking the reins, could prove a perfect stepping stone for today's nap selection.

TRAINNAH made a decent start to her career earlier this month and she can build on that in the ApolloBet Home of Cashback Specials Fillies' Maiden Stakes at Haydock.

The daughter of Pivotal bumped into a hot favourite from the John Gosden team at Nottingham and, while she stood no chance against that one, she proved notably smarter than the remainder of the field.

Out the back for much of the extended mile trip, she finished with a real flourish to be beaten two and a half lengths and defy her starting price of 20-1.

Trainnah looked a certain future winner and can confirm that impression with Frankie Dettori on board.

Cunco, Frankel's first progeny to make the track, ensured a winning start at Newbury earlier this month and MAJORIS can maintain that perfect record in the second division of the British Stallion Studs EBF Novice Stakes.

His dam, Drops, did not show much in four starts for Aidan O'Brien but, as a daughter of Oaks winner Alexandrova, she is certainly holding her own on the pedigree side.

Majoris is certainly bred to excel over further than this six furlongs and it will be interesting to see how she goes as Buick looks for another winner.

SPEED FREAK should have learnt plenty for her debut run and is the choice in the Sanctus Ltd/British Stallion Studs EBF Novice Fillies' Stakes at Bath.

Fourth at Windsor earlier this month, Ralph Beckett's charge was hardly put under pressure when her winning chance had gone, with her rider employing just hands and heels as part of her racecourse education.

She is bred to make a pretty decent sprinter and can start to show her worth. Oisin Murphy rides this one.

MAWAANY has shown glimpses of ability and a starting mark of 77 looks workable in the Bristol Airport Handicap.

Second in each of his two starts so far this year, Sir Michael Stoute's charge only just failed by a neck to claim a first success at this track last month.

Moving out of maiden company for the first time and with Stevie Donohoe up top, Mawaany is worth supporting.

POUR LA VICTOIRE should be on the premises in the Cabins UK Handicap at Brighton, while EL ASTRONAUTE can take a starring role in the Belmont Wallyford Handicap at Musselburgh's evening meeting.

Worcester stages the day's jumping fare and GONE TOO FAR should be supported in the Bet On The Champions League With Ladbrokes Handicap Chase.
