Day one of the Eastern Festival at Yarmouth begins on Tuesday, featuring some exciting novices, plus action from Uttoxeter and Wolverhampton all live on Sky Sports Racing. Successful US owner Mike Repole, who has tasted success at the highest level with the likes of Uncle Mo and Fierceness, will hope his first British runner Watch Party can get off the mark at the second attempt. The 300,000gns yearling debuted at Newmarket last month for Roger Varian and ran creditably, with the winner Lex Victoria since following up again at Kempton.
She takes on 10 rivals, including William Haggas' intriguing debutant Sea La Roma, a daughter of Sea The Stars who is a full sister to two smart types. Fellow debutants You're Sensational (John & Thady Gosden) and Speaking Tree (Ed Walker) are worth a market watch, while Ambience - in the Amo Racing colours - needs to step forward from her debut effort when sixth at Newmarket. In the following race (3.17), Flick Of An Eye could well set the standard on second career start for the Simon and Ed Crisford team.
He takes on an open-looking field, featuring Kempton runner-up I Am Royal and Richard Spencer's debutant Bad Dreams.

His main challenge looks to come from Mickey Bowen's Axel Bleue, runner-up to the aforementioned My Fuji Park back in July.
Earlier on the card, Dan Skelton hands a first start to former Irish-trained mare Time In A Bottle (2.30). Related to the smart Embassy Gardens, she won a point-to-point on her last outing. The Skelton team look to have a great chance in the following race (3.00) with Ice Jet, who was beaten a short head here back in early July.
Oisin Murphy could do with a big night at Wolverhampton if he is to mount a serious challenge to leader Billy Loughnane in the race to be crowned 2026 Champion Jockey. The defending champion has seven good chances on the card, the pick of which could well be Not That Guy (6.00) for Hugo Palmer. He takes on debutant Inkberrow for the Crisford team, with Harry Davies in the saddle.
