Today on Sky Sports Racing: Lingfield, Southwell and Yarmouth feature live on Thursday

We have a busy day's racing on Thursday with Flat action from Lingfield, Southwell and Yarmouth, live on Your Site Racing.

A field of eight will contest the penultimate race at Yarmouth on Thursday in the Your Site Virgin 519 Fillies' Handicap over seven furlongs.

George Boughey saddles Zighy here who got off the mark at the fifth attempt. The 3-year-old followed that up with another all-weather success 15 days ago when impressively scoring at Southwell. The hat-trick seeking filly was purchased for 400,000gns (ÂŁ42,000) as a yearling and returns to the turf here with Billy Loughnane booked for the ride.

You'll Think Of Me is the mount of David Egan who justified skinny odds to get off the mark on stable debut in December. The 500,000gns (ÂŁ52,00) yearling was previously trained by Donnacha O'Brien but couldn't manage better than second in four runs for the yard. She now returns to the turf on her first start for 150 days and will be looking to continue her unbeaten record for the Kevin Philippart De Foy stable.

Ed Walker and James Doyle team up with Moonshine who's yet to finish outside the top three in four career starts to date. The daughter of Starman ran a career best last month when breaking her duck and now steps back up to the seven-furlong trip here.

Brisky Symphony for Jonathan Portman and Here I Bow for Oli Rix are others to note.

The penultimate race at Lingfield on Thursday sees a field of 10 go to post in the Your Site Racing Virgin 512 Handicap over seven furlongs.

John Butler and Luke Morris team up here with Havana Touch who ran his best race this year when scoring for the third time at Kempton at the start of the month and drops back to the seven-furlong trip for the first time since winning at Kempton in May last year.

Bella Bisbee is another last-time-out winner having won over course and distance 16 days ago for Scott Dixon and Kieran O'Neill and will be looking to record a fourth career win over the seven-furlong trip.

Craig Benton's Bold Suitor finished a length second to Bella Bisbee last time out under Georgia Dobie but is three-pounds better off at the weights today on this return to Lingfield.

Jim Boyle's Daisy Roots, Spirit Lead Me for Richard Hughes and Virtue Patience in first time cheekpieces are others to note in this field of ten.

Eight go to post in the Free Race Replays On attheraces.com Handicap over six furlongs at Southwell on Thursday where Roberto Caro and Station X both feature.

Adrian Keatley saddles Roberto Caro who is seeking a first win since scoring in the Racing League at Chepstow in August. The five-year-old hung on well to win by a neck that day but is yet to taste success since.

Station X has been in consistent form recently with four placed efforts in a row, one of which included beating Roberto Caro by almost two lengths at Southwell over course and distance, however Roberto Caro is two-pounds better off at the weights here.

Stanely Spencer is another runner to note for James Tate who has put up a number of encouraging efforts since his last win in September and will be looking for a fifth career win here with Clifford Lee a notable jockey booking.

Alondra for Scott Dixon and Tough Enough for Antony Brittain are others to keep an eye on in this field of eight.

2.20 Lingfield - Well backed in the Brocklesby, Seathegulls features for Gary and Josh Moore.

2.40 Yarmouth - Expensive purchases Night Shining and Venetian Sky headline Novice Stakes.

3.03 ParisLongchamp - A number of these entered in the Prix du Jockey Club including Shalazi for the Aga Khan.

3.15 Yarmouth - Adamlyi, Alpine Culture and Fahidi feature in this Maiden.

3.38 ParisLongchamp - A Maiden including Regal Chime, Place de l'Opera who's entered in the French 1,000 Guineas and Soda Zabeel who's entered in Prix de Diane.
