17:55 Ffos Las Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (2.75/1 +50%) Juggernaut	2.75 2.75/1(+50%)	(6) Juggernaut 2.75/1, Ran to only a modest level when fourth in a bumper and better effort in this sphere came on hurdling debut when fourth at this track in January. Bounce back required after 3 months off.
2	4 2nd (4) (28/1 +60%) Deal Em High	28 28/1(+60%)	(4) Deal Em High 28/1, Modest bumper winner but no show in 3 runs over hurdles.
3	8 3rd (8) (22/1 +45%) Astro Babe	22 22/1(+45%)	(8) Astro Babe 22/1, Half-sister to 3 winners but beat only one home in 2 bumpers last summer and it was a similar story on hurdles bow last month.
4	1 4th (1) (40/1 +50%) Blazing Hartingo	40 40/1(+50%)	(1) Blazing Hartingo 40/1, Runner-up completed start in points but no encouragement to glean from both starts over hurdles this month. Significantly dropped in trip but readily passed over.
5th	2 5th (2) (125/1 +17%) Bright Focus	125 125/1(+17%)	(2) Bright Focus 125/1, Little show in 4 career starts.
6th	5 6th (5) (50/1 +67%) Ruby's Comet	50 50/1(+67%)	(5) Ruby's Comet 50/1, Half-brother to 3 winners but didn't offer much in a couple of bumpers and similar story on hurdles debut earlier this month.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (0.29/1 +57%) Splashing Wave	0.29 0.29/1(+57%)	(9) Splashing Wave 0.29/1, Modest form in bumpers and matched that sent hurdling when a close third in novice at Worcester (16f, good to soft) on 10 days ago, headed run-in having led on bridle home turn. Likely she'll prove hard to beat with a repeat.

LTO Selection:

17:55 Ffos Las Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

There was plenty to like about SPLASHING WAVE's hurdling debut at Worcester last Wednesday and she's taken to build on that third-placed finish to gain a career first success. Moonlit Warrior was a useful sort on the Flat last season and he looks the potential fly in the ointment on his debut for David Pipe. Captain Attridge and Juggernaut may fare better once in handicaps, but they still enters calculations.

It's tough to look beyond SPLASHING WAVE, who shaped with plenty of promise when third on hurdling debut at Worcester 10 days ago and a repeat effort should be enough for Peter Bowen's mare to open her account. Moonlit Warrior is an interesting hurdling debutant on first start for his new yard, so he could be the one to offer most resistance, ahead of Captain Attridge.

Given a lot to do before keeping on well for third at Ludlow last month, CAPTAIN ATTRIDGE can open his account here.

18:25 Ffos Las Handicap Chase (Class 5) 19f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
7	7 (7) (8/1 +0%) Paddy's Return	8 8/1(+0%)	(7) Paddy's Return 8/1, Well beaten in 3 novice hurdles at the start of 2021. Of some interest that connections have persevered but betting is perhaps the best guide to expectations now handicap chasing after over 2 years off. Engaged 5.40 Worcester Friday. Tailed off in three hurdles in 2021 and pulled up at Worcester yesterday evening.
1	4 1st (4) (4/1 +53%) Holerday Ridge	4 4/1(+53%)	(4) Holerday Ridge 4/1, Fair winner over hurdles and made an encouraging start in this sphere when third in handicap at this course (20.9f) in March. Hasn't progressed on both outings since, so percentage call is to look elsewhere. Third here on chasing debut; little since but return to good ground should help.
2	1 2nd (1) (1/1 +39%) Hardy Boy	1 1/1(+39%)	(1) Hardy Boy 1/1, Has been in good form over hurdles and ran close that level first time up over fences when third at Market Rasen (21.4f, good to soft) just over a fortnight ago, finishing with running left. Likely improver, so holds leading claims. Dual hurdle winner; good first chasing effort this month; leading player.
3	5 3rd (5) (4.5/1 +44%) Heronord	4.5 4.5/1(+44%)	(5) Heronord 4.5/1, Remains a maiden following 20 attempts under Rules. A place probably the best he can hope for returning from 7 months off despite a tumbling mark. Absent since October and 0-20 in career; risky for win purposes.
4	3 4th (3) (5.5/1 -175%) Dindin	5.5 5.5/1(-175%)	(3) Dindin 5.5/1, Had a busy season last term and resumed winning ways in a race that panned out well for him at Wincanton (20f) in March. Solid placed efforts subsequently and should give another decent account. Only 2-28 in Britain but in good form and should figure.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (14/1 +30%) Talkingthetalk	14 14/1(+30%)	(6) Talkingthetalk 14/1, Left hurdling debut form behind when third in a Wexford maiden on final run for Leonard Whitmore last summer. Hasn't shown much for present yard, though, and not attentions are switched to the larger obstacles. Has struggled in five hurdle starts for this yard; chasing debut.

LTO Selection:

18:25 Ffos Las Handicap Chase (Class 5) 19f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

HARDY BOY made an encouraging start to his chasing career when third at Market Rasen recently and he holds leading claims off the same mark in this contest. Dindin's stamina appeared slightly stretched by the extended 2m5f at Taunton last month and the veteran is feared most now returned to this distance. Heronord makes his seasonal debut and any market support is worth noting having dropped to a career-low mark.

HARDY BOY ran close to his hurdles form first time up over fences when third at Market Rasen just over a fortnight ago and, with further improvement on the cards as he gains experience, Ben Pauling's 6-y-o gets the vote to come out on top. Dindin arrives in good order, so he looks the obvious danger to the selection, with Heronord taken to fill out third place.

After an encouraging chasing debut, HARDY BOY (nap) appeals most.

18:55 Ffos Las Handicap Chase (Class 4) 16f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (1.38/1 +69%) Feel The Pinch	1.38 1.38/1(+69%)	(3) Feel The Pinch 1.38/1, Has built up a particularly good record at Bangor, adding to his tally over hurdles in March. Ran creditably when third over C&D 18 days ago and he looks set for another decent run is a contest that may not take much winning. In good form and solid C&D third latest; claims.
2	1 2nd (1) (3/1 +40%) Donnie Azoff	3 3/1(+40%)	(1) Donnie Azoff 3/1, Off the mark at the fifth time of asking over hurdles when seeing off 8 rivals in a 2m Taunton maiden in March. Failed to progress as needed making handicap debut at Hexham (16.2f, good to soft) 3 weeks ago and now attentions are switched to the larger obstacles. Hurdle winner in March; chasing debut and possibilities if taking to it.
3	5 3rd (5) (2.75/1 -10%) Abaya Du Mathan	2.75 2.75/1(-10%)	(5) Abaya Du Mathan 2.75/1, Veteran who has been kept very busy and ended long losing run to land course handicap chase (19.4f) for second successive season last month. Again ran well when runner-up at Fakenham (21.2f, good) 18 days ago and fancied to go well once again. This trip might be on the sharp side but he's in good form and has won twice here.
4	4 4th (4) (6.5/1 +54%) Glajou	6.5 6.5/1(+54%)	(4) Glajou 6.5/1, Fair chaser but he's not the most straightforward. Cashed in on a reduced mark at Worcester last summer but not scaled same heights on 3 of his 4 starts since, folding tamely at Worcester (16.5f, soft) 19 days ago. Remains easy to oppose. Worcester winner last August but well held since and not one to rely on too heavily.

LTO Selection:

18:55 Ffos Las Handicap Chase (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Abaya Du Mathan appeared harshly treated by a 9lb rise for his success here last month, but he subsequently ran well enough when runner-up at Fakenham to believe another bold bid could be on the cards. A chance, however, is taken on DONNIE AZOFF, who wasn't disgraced on his first start in handicaps last time at Hexham and looks the type to excel over fences. Feel The Pinch wasn't beaten far over C&D earlier this month and completes the shortlist.

FEEL THE PINCH ran creditably when third over C&D earlier this month and in a contest that is unlikely to take much winning, Robbie Llewellyn's charge is fancied to notch a second success over the larger obstacles. Abaya du Mathan is holding his form well, so he can follow the selection home, ahead of chasing debutant Donnie Azoff.

A repeat of his recent C&D third might suffice for FEEL THE PINCH.

19:25 Ffos Las Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (1/1 +28%) Gavin	1 1/1(+28%)	(4) Gavin 1/1, Resumed winning ways in 5-runner handicap hurdle at Fakenham (16f, good) 18 days ago on his final run for Joe Ponting. Up 6 lb but still not taken lightly for his new yard. Easy winner of seller this month; 6lb higher but lively candidate on stable debut.
2	2 2nd (2) (8.5/1 -21%) Just The Man	8.5 8.5/1(-21%)	(2) Just The Man 8.5/1, In process of running well when falling 3 out at Leicester (15.5f) in November. Probably needed the run after 6 months off when last of 6 in handicap hurdle at Bangor (16.7f) 7 days ago. Can take a step forward now. Well beaten last week on return from a break; best form has come at Ludlow.
3	1 3rd (1) (3.5/1 -100%) Horn Cape	3.5 3.5/1(-100%)	(1) Horn Cape 3.5/1, French bumper winner who got back on track for his new yard when winning handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (16.8f) in March. Defied a penalty at Hexham a week later and he could still have more to offer. Big shout. Two wins at the end of March; hat-trick more than possible but good ground a concern.
4	3 4th (3) (3/1 +57%) Cornicello	3 3/1(+57%)	(3) Cornicello 3/1, Fair Flat performer in Germany and easily gained second hurdles win at Wincanton in November. Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Taunton (16.5f, soft) 30 days ago though so needs to bounce back. Pulled up on return from a break but ought to do much better back on good ground.

LTO Selection:

19:25 Ffos Las Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Gavin was impressive when winning a selling handicap hurdle at Fakenham recently, nevertheless, he didn't need to improve to triumph on that occasion and a 6lb rise may leave him vulnerable to the hat-trick seeking HORN CAPE. Ben Haslam's charge capped off last season with two victories and a latest 5lb rise may not prevent him from going in again. Cornicello makes more appeal than Just The Man.

A case can be made for all of these but HORN CAPE still looked to have more to offer when scoring at Hexham so gets the vote at the chief expense of Fakenham winner Gavin. Just The Man is also weighted to have a say if, as expected, building on his Bangor run after an absence.

Recent selling winner GAVIN can make a successful debut for his new yard.

19:55 Ffos Las Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (8/1 +56%) Rock The House	8 8/1(+56%)	(5) Rock The House 8/1, Unreliable type. Eleven runs since last win in 2021 and ran poorly after 6 months off at Uttoxeter last week. Not out of the question he could return to form but percentage call to look elsewhere. Good second on stable debut last October but hasn't repeated it; pulled up last week.
2	7 2nd (7) (7.5/1 +12%) Loved Out	7.5 7.5/1(+12%)	(7) Loved Out 7.5/1, Course winner in June and backed that up with a good second at Newton Abbot in August. However, ran one of his lesser races here last time and needs to hit the ground running after 7 months off. Course winner a year ago but didn't really build on it; absent since October.
3	1 3rd (1) (7.5/1 -125%) Tulin	7.5 7.5/1(-125%)	(1) Tulin 7.5/1, Fairly useful hurdler at best but became disappointing for Paul Nicholls, finishing last in 6-runner handicap at Fontwell on final outing in October. Given a chance by the assessor on first start for new yard but is risky. Lost his way for Paul Nicholls last year; stable debut after eight months off.
4	4 4th (4) (6.5/1 -30%) Clapton Hill	6.5 6.5/1(-30%)	(4) Clapton Hill 6.5/1, Shaped well in sole bumper and reached the frame in 19f maiden/novice hurdles in the autumn. Backed out of things quickly on Huntingdon handicap bow in January but worth another chance to do better after a break. Ability in novices but was pulled up on handicap debut when last seen in January.
5th	3 5th (3) (3.5/1 +13%) Dr Sanderson	3.5 3.5/1(+13%)	(3) Dr Sanderson 3.5/1, Course winner/one-time useful hurdler who slipped up towards the end of the back straight in handicap hurdle at Worcester (20f, soft, 9/1) 19 days ago. Yard amongst the winners and would have to enter calculations if backed. Four years since he won over hurdles but was on the premises when suffering mishap latest.
6th	6 6th (6) (2.25/1 +32%) Nikhi	2.25 2.25/1(+32%)	(6) Nikhi 2.25/1, Fairly useful 2m Flat winner for Jedd O'Keeffe. Changed hands for 78,000 gns and shaped promisingly when third on hurdles debut here over 2m. Held back by her jumping since but it's still early days and she remains with some potential based on Flat form. Yet to make her mark over hurdles; beaten favourite latest; quicker ground could help.
7th	2 7th (2) (6.5/1 +7%) Platinumcard	6.5 6.5/1(+7%)	(2) Platinumcard 6.5/1, Ayr winner (16f) starting out for Gordon Elliott but more miss than hit for that yard after and has offered little both starts for new yard 5 months apart. Well beaten in two starts for this yard and under something of a cloud for now.

LTO Selection:

19:55 Ffos Las Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

All of these have been struggling for form of late, but a chance can be taken with DR SANDERSON, who is well handicapped in this sphere compared to his mark over fences. Conditions look to be in his favour and he may have too much for the unexposed Nikhi and Tulin, who is of interest on his first start for new connections.

CLAPTON HILL backed out of things pretty tamely on his Huntingdon handicap debut in January but is worth another chance given his earlier promise and lightly-raced profile. Nikhi could do with brushing up on her jumping but retains potential based on her fairly useful Flat form, while Dr Sanderson is another who can't be ruled out from a much-reduced mark, especially with his stable amongst the winners.

A trappy contest could go to NIKHI, now back on a sound surface.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (8/1 -60%) Lady Robinn	8 8/1(-60%)	(5) Lady Robinn 8/1, Well held in novice/maiden hurdles but has undergone a breathing operation ahead of handicap debut and open to improvement. Nothing in three starts but may do better now handicapping after wind surgery.
2	7 2nd (7) (6.5/1 +54%) Saxon Queen	6.5 6.5/1(+54%)	(7) Saxon Queen 6.5/1, Showed more temperament than ability on final 2021 start. Off 19 months. Well beaten all four starts, all in 2021; plenty to prove on return from long absence.
3	6 3rd (6) (2.75/1 -46%) Tre A Peni	2.75 2.75/1(-46%)	(6) Tre A Peni 2.75/1, Ran creditably from 2 lb out of the weights when third in 17-runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (23.3f, soft) 21 days ago. Shortlist material. Fair third at Uttoxeter, after a break; should run well but 0-11 over hurdles.
4	3 4th (3) (6/1 +50%) Dana's Gem	6 6/1(+50%)	(3) Dana's Gem 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden who was well held on handicap debut at Ludlow (21.2f, good to soft) 31 days ago. First-time cheekpieces need to bring about improvement. Well beaten all four starts; cheekpieces fitted; yard in good form.
5th	4 5th (4) (3.2/1 +20%) Cresswell Queen	3.2 3.2/1(+20%)	(4) Cresswell Queen 3.2/1, Made a winning chasing debut here in June and ran at least as well in defeat when second in 4-runner event at Newton Abbot next time. Not quite in same form subsequent chase starts but is lower in the weights over hurdles and player if ready to roll. Chase winner here last June; could run well if ready after more than eight months off.
6th	1 6th (1) (5.5/1 -22%) Miss Pearl	5.5 5.5/1(-22%)	(1) Miss Pearl 5.5/1, Shaped better than previously in a first-time hood/under a change of tactics when fourth of 11 in maiden at Ludlow (21.2f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Into handicaps now and wouldn't need to build on that much to have a big say. Too keen in novices but has ability and can make her presence felt on handicap debut.
7th	2 7th (2) (11/1 +45%) Ballymilan	11 11/1(+45%)	(2) Ballymilan 11/1, Dual 23f chase winner early last summer but she's not the most reliable and has been pulled up all 3 starts since returning from a break, including in first-time cheekpieces last time. Tongue strap now added. On a good mark now but has been pulled up latest three starts; tongue-strap fitted.

LTO Selection:

20:25 Ffos Las Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

TRE A PENI may be a maiden through 13 starts but this looks like as good an opportunity as any to to break the maiden following a solid placed effort at Uttoxeter last time out. Cresswell Queen hasn't shown much in recent outings, though she is a key player on the pick of her form, while Miss Pearl has the potential to improve for going up in trip.

TRE A PENI ran her best race when third in a big-field handicap at Uttoxeter 3 weeks ago and a reproduction of that form could be enough to see her get off the mark. Miss Pearl wouldn't need to build much on her latest effort to have a big say, with Cresswell Queen another to consider despite lacking a recent run.

In the hope that wind surgery will enable her to show improvement, LADY ROBINN is selected.

20:55 Ffos Las NH Flat Race (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

WHATAWIT showed marked improvement from first to second start when easily scoring at Huntingdon last time out and this looks like a penalty kick as he takes on just the one rival. The form of the Sir Mark Prescott stable is another plus and it is difficult to see how Johnthepostman will be able to handle the selection, having been well beaten on each of his first two starts under Rules.

WHATAWIT should get the job done easily in this match.

This should be a doddle for Huntingdon winner WHATAWIT.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
