SEATTLE TIME is fancied to enjoy a red-letter day with a first career success in the opening Quinnbet Second To The Favourite Apprentice Handicap (2.00) at Yarmouth today.
Jack Jones’s four-year-old daughter of Time Test has yet to hit the target in 10 attempts, of which seven have been on turf.
But she put up a personal best in a first-time hood with a second to Duchess over a mile in Horatio Nelson country last month.
Held up in rear during the early stages, Dylan Hogan’s mount made headway to hit the front inside the final quarter mile.
My selection had no response when the John Berry-saddled winner took over a furlong from the finish, going under by three lengths at the line.

Seattle Time competes from the same British Horseracing Authority rating of 59 here and, with the drop back to seven furlongs unlikely to be an issue - and with the Jones team firing on all cylinders - she can go one better here.
Just over an hour and a half later at Yarmouth, TRIBAL CHIEF has plenty going for him in the Quinnbet 'Confined' Handicap (3.35).
The David Menuisier trainee made a winning start in the sphere with a length-and-a-quarter beating of Hello Cotai at Nottingham 11 days ago and a 6lb penalty may not be enough to prevent the follow-up.
