(4) Hello Zabeel 12/1, 33/1, creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 29 days ago, keeping on until last ½f. That was his first start for 7 months and possible he'll be sharper here from further reduced mark. Promising reappearance at Windsor; well treated if that run has brought him on.
3
1st (3) (13/2 -86%) Sarah's Verse
6.5
13/2(-86%)
(3) Sarah's Verse 13/2, Enhanced her good record at Bath over 5.7f in May. Not in quite the same form when fifth at Chepstow next time but quickly back to form returned to first-named venue when third of 8 in 5f handicap 16 days ago. Not discounted. Happiest at Bath; ran well there last time (5f) but not much room for error off this mark.
1
2nd (1) (15/2 -15%) Vince Lombardi
7.5
15/2(-15%)
(1) Vince Lombardi 15/2, 3-time winner at up to 6f who stepped up on his yard debut effort when seventh of 10 in handicap at Haydock (6f, firm) 16 days ago, brief headway under 2f out and never dangerous. Type yard do well with and better showing not ruled out. Poor track position at Haydock latest; on a winning mark and likely to go well.
7
3rd (7) (22/1 -120%) Fahrenheit Seven
22
22/1(-120%)
(7) Fahrenheit Seven 22/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 13/2, third of 5 in maiden at Nottingham (5f, good) 33 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and step up to 6f promises to suit now attentions switch to handicaps. Promise over 5f; cheekpieces added for handicap debut; fast ground would be new.
8
4th (8) (9/2 +40%) Northfield Lake
4.5
9/2(+40%)
(8) Northfield Lake 9/2, Fair form when placed in maiden/novice events and ran up to best when third of 9 on handicap debut at Sandown (7f, good) 9 days ago. Return to sprinting will hold no fears and he's another holding claims. 7f looked to stretch him on h'cap debut 9 days ago; return to sprinting a plus; unexposed.
5
5th (5) (11/1 -69%) Mr Wonderful
11
11/1(-69%)
(5) Mr Wonderful 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 5 in handicap (8/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 19 days ago, short of room final 100 yds and not recover. Reappearance third at Newcastle previously was an encouraging effort and he's one to bear in mind. One promising 2yo run; finishing effort has lacked punch on AW this year; still early days.
6
6th (6) (10/1 -33%) Western
10
10/1(-33%)
(6) Western 10/1, 7/1, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago, ridden 2f out and staying on behind a pair of less exposed sorts. Can give another good account. Didn't run badly at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) last time but more will be needed here.
2
7th (2) (15/8 +32%) Starproof
1.875
15/8(+32%)
(2) Starproof 15/8, C&D winner. Creditable second of 12 in handicap at Newbury (6f, good to firm, 13/2) 10 days ago, headed inside final 100 yds and keeping on. Clearly on a workable mark and sound claims with a repeat. Two good runs this season sandwich a poor run at Bath; one of the likelier types.
9
8th (9) (33/1 -106%) Professor Tickle
33
33/1(-106%)
(9) Professor Tickle 33/1, Latest win at Lingfield (6f, AW) in December. Absent since finishing fifth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) later that month and headgear left off on return to action. Mark demands that bit more. Had plenty of racing at two, winning twice; improvement required to defy this mark.
10
9th (10) (50/1 -25%) Judge Frank
50
50/1(-25%)
(10) Judge Frank 50/1, Fair form when second in Newbury novice (6.5f) on debut last summer but not got near that level since, including making yard debut when eleventh of 12 in handicap at Chester (6.1f, good) 9 days ago. Good deal to prove at present. Low-key stable debut (6f, good; 100-1) nine days ago; best watched.
14:10 Ffos Las Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Starproof bumped into an improver when filling the runner-up spot at Newbury last time and she is an obvious candidate from just 2lb higher, but a chance can be taken on FAHRENHEIT SEVEN. Mark Usher's gelding looks potentially well handicapped from an opening mark of 75, judged on what he achieved in novice/maiden events. Stepped up in trip and with cheekpieces applied for the first time, he can step forward. Western is another to consider.
STARPROOF confirmed she's on a workable mark when runner-up behind a progressive sort at Newbury 10 days ago and, back at the scene of her last success, she looks to hold sound claims if arriving in the same form. Vince Lombardi has seemingly been working his way back to full fitness in a couple of runs this term and he needs factoring in. Mr Wonderful and Northfield Lake are a couple of 3-y-os to consider also.
Hello Zabeel ran well on his return but VINCE LOMBARDI may have his measure this time.
(5) Miami Memories 5/1, Sent off 2/1 but held back by inexperience when sixth of 9 in maiden at Chepstow (5.1f, good to firm) on debut 15 days ago. Open to plenty of improvement for powerful stable. Ran okay without threatening on her Chepstow debut (well backed); can do better.
3
(3) (22/1 -83%) Jagetme
22
22/1(-83%)
(3) Jagetme 22/1, Foaled February 17. €26,000 foal, 25,000 gns yearling, €62,000 2-y-o, Soldier's Call filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 1¼m winner Sir Zelmer and 2-y-o 9.5f winner Sol Cayo. Dam 10.5f-1½m winner. Likely to need further. 62,000euros breeze-up 2yo; half-sister to seven winners; bred to need further than this.
1
1st (1) (2/5 +50%) Cayman Tai
0.4
2/5(+50%)
(1) Cayman Tai 2/5, Runner-up all 3 starts, latest in a novice event at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Sets a solid standard back over 5f. Runner-up all three starts; his 6f form sets the standard; major player back at 5f.
4
2nd (4) (3/1 +0%) Hettie Jack
3
3/1(+0%)
(4) Hettie Jack 3/1, Very green on debut and still looked a work-in-progress when winning 8-runner seller at Goodwood (5f, good to firm, 7/2) 14 days ago, driven out. Hung both ways but still won a Goodwood seller decisively last time; no penalty; e-w shout.
2
3rd (2) (80/1 -300%) Roysdelight
80
80/1(-300%)
(2) Roysdelight 80/1, Minor promise so far, 4¼ lengths sixth of 8 to Hettie Jack in seller at Goodwood (5f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Visor on first time and more needed in this company. Has shown promise but over 4l behind Hettie Jack in a Goodwood seller latest; now visored.
14:40 Ffos Las Stakes (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
CAYMAN TAI has filled the runner-up spot on all three starts to date and this looks an excellent opportunity for him to go one better. Richard Hannon's colt showed plenty of promise to be beaten just a length after a poor start over 6f at Salisbury last time and his turn looks very near. Hettie Jack, who landed a seller at Goodwood a fortnight ago, looks the main threat, ahead of Miami Memories.
CAYMAN TAI hasn't done a lot wrong despite finishing second all 3 starts and is taken to put that experience to the best possible use. Nala Star is bred to be sharp and showed plenty of pace when runner-up at Lingfield recently so she could be the main danger.
Cayman Tai is respected but HETTIE JACK, unpenalised for her win in a seller, can follow up.
(2) Darkened Edge 22/1, Heavy defeats both starts this season, last of 6 in handicap at Chepstow (5.1f, good to firm, 28/1) 15 days ago. Modest form in two handicaps this year; down in grade and still has time to do better.
1
1st (1) (8/1 -14%) Brandy Station
8
8/1(-14%)
(1) Brandy Station 8/1, C&D winner. 22/1, below form fifth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (5f). Off 8 months and he's entitled to need this. C&D win in 2019; not at best when last seen and absent for 257 days; opposable.
3
2nd (3) (14/1 -645%) Red Walls
14
14/1(-645%)
(3) Red Walls 14/1, Modest gelding. 3 wins from 13 runs this year, latest of them at Wolverhampton in April. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Chester (7.6f, good, 40/1) 9 days ago. Return to 5f no issue and this is a drop in class. 0-21 on turf but has run well over C&D; good effort over 7.5f latest; major player.
4
3rd (4) (20/1 -789%) We're Reunited
20
20/1(-789%)
(4) We're Reunited 20/1, Modest gelding. 7/2, creditable second of 10 in minor event at Bath (5.7f, good) 16 days ago. Repeat of that will put him bang there again. Front-runner; solid placed efforts at Bath the last twice; more appealing than many.
5
4th (5) (50/1 -2122%) Ten O'clock
50
50/1(-2122%)
(5) Ten O'clock 50/1, Best effort yet when second of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Not as exposed as these so has to be considered. Went close at Lingfield last time but had the rail to help; needs more to break his duck.
15:10 Ffos Las Stakes (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
TEN O'CLOCK went agonisingly close to breaking her duck at Lingfield last month, but the three-year-old drops into classified company for the first time and she can go one better. We're Reunited, who also filled the runner-up spot last time out, can give the selection plenty to think about. Brandy Station hasn't been seen since October, but he has gone well fresh in the past and should not be underestimated.
This is much more suitable for RED WALLS down in trip and class and he knows how to get the job done at this level. We're Reunited and Ten O'Clock look the dangers.
We're Reunited comes here in good form but RED WALLS ran surprisingly well over 7.5f last time and can gain a first turf success.
(4) Clan Chieftain 11/4, Low-mileage 4-y-o. Creditable second of 8 in handicap (11/4) at Salisbury (1¾m, good) 29 days ago. Claims if he can build on that now stepping up in trip again. Promising 2nd at Salisbury (1m6f, good) last month; 2m could suit; not fully exposed.
7
(7) (14/1 +0%) Teqany
14
14/1(+0%)
(7) Teqany 14/1, Won 2 staying handicaps on the Flat in summer 2021 but not seen since placing at listed/Grade 2 level over hurdles in the autumn of that year. The betting is perhaps the best guide to expectations after such a long absence. In fine form on Flat and over hurdles when last seen but that was 960 days ago.
1
1st (1) (8/1 -129%) Shagpyle
8
8/1(-129%)
(1) Shagpyle 8/1, Quite useful at around 1½m. Fared as well as could be expected in 1¾m York Group 3 latest. Shapes as if worth a go at this longer trip and respected back in much calmer waters. Highly tried (Group 3) latest and ran creditably; up in the weights as a result; new trip.
3
2nd (3) (5/1 -82%) Zoran
5
5/1(-82%)
(3) Zoran 5/1, 11/10, career best when making all in 7-runner handicap at Kempton (2m) 18 days ago. A 4 lb rise for that looks manageable. Easy front-running win at Kempton 18 days ago (2m); 4lb higher in a stronger race.
8
3rd (8) (8/1 +20%) Cubana Habana
8
8/1(+20%)
(8) Cubana Habana 8/1, 40/1, good second of 9 in handicap at Chepstow (1½m, good) on reappearance 23 days ago, no match for winner. Significantly up in trip. Good second at Chepstow on his return last month (1m4f); new trip worth exploring.
2
4th (2) (20/1 -208%) Oceanline
20
20/1(-208%)
(2) Oceanline 20/1, Won at Ascot last October but below par over hurdles and on the Flat later in 2023. Not seen for 6 months but the booking of Oisin Murphy suggests she could be primed for this comeback run. Received fine ride when winning at Ascot last October; struggled since; risky on return.
5
5th (5) (20/1 -344%) Navarre Express
20
20/1(-344%)
(5) Navarre Express 20/1, Course winner. Good third of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (13f, soft, 7/1) 25 days ago. Up in trip. Not taken lightly. Course winner last September; good run at Hamilton latest; 2m may suit; best form on soft.
6
6th (6) (300/1 -650%) Monsieur Lambrays
300
300/1(-650%)
(6) Monsieur Lambrays 300/1, Temperamental sort. Nineteen runs since last win in 2020. Distant sixth of 7 in C&D handicap last August and off since. Cubana Habana has to be considered the yard first string unless the betting strongly hints otherwise. Ran well on return last year but that was followed by three heavy defeats; long losing run.
15:40 Ffos Las Handicap (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Zoran is proven over this far having landed a lower grade race at Kempton earlier in the month. Navarre Express finished a close-up third over 1m5f at Hamilton, although fast ground is a worry for her, while Clan Chieftain posted an improved effort when upped to 1m6f at Salisbury and should make his presence felt. SHAGPYLE faced a difficult task in Group 3 company at York, but good efforts in handicaps over 1m4f prior to that offer plenty of encouragement and she gets the vote to go close if staying the longer distance.
ZORAN doesn't look overburdened up 4 lb for his recent Kempton success and might be able to go in again. Navarre Express and Shagpyle are 4-y-o fillies who could have more to come now stepping up to 2m for the first time and may provide the main opposition.
Teqany is intriguing back from his mammoth absence but CLAN CHIEFTAIN looks a safer option after a good run at Salisbury
(2) Kalama Sunrise 5/4, Improved when scoring from a basement mark at Chepstow early this month before taking another step forward to follow up over same C&D 6 days, Up on the recently and should be able to defy a penalty. 2-2 in cheekpieces, winning two 1m handicaps at Chepstow this month; leading claims.
4
2nd (4) (4/1 -60%) Dappled Light
4
4/1(-60%)
(4) Dappled Light 4/1, Got back on track returned to less testing conditions when a nose behind Kalama Sunrise in handicap at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm, 13/2) 15 days ago. Remains lower in the weights than when winning in Ireland last season and rates as the main danger. A nose behind Kalama Sunrise last time and 6lb better off today; has to be in the picture.
5
3rd (5) (9/1 -13%) Zambezi Magic
9
9/1(-13%)
(5) Zambezi Magic 9/1, Better than result when sixth at Bath in May but below expectations when filling the same position at Chepstow (10f, good, 11/4) 6 days ago. Probably needs a couple to falter if he's to score. Tumbled down the weights since October but with some justification.
6
4th (6) (18/1 -100%) Signature Blue
18
18/1(-100%)
(6) Signature Blue 18/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 250/1, tenth of 12 in minor event at Kempton (7f) 18 days ago. Capable of better now handicapping. Poor form in three AW novices; makes handicap debut at a low level; check betting.
3
5th (3) (400/1 -1500%) Mykonos St John
400
400/1(-1500%)
(3) Mykonos St John 400/1, Runner up at Lingfield twice in the autumn but little impact this year and looks opposable again. Nearly four year since his sole turf win; not in top form since returning in April.
1
6th (1) (80/1 -789%) Thewaytothestars
80
80/1(-789%)
(1) Thewaytothestars 80/1, Some encouragement when fourth at Chepstow on penultimate outing but soundly beaten on other 3 starts this season. Has slipped in the weights but others make greater appeal. Not found her best this year, finishing behind Kalama Sunrise the last twice.
16:10 Ffos Las Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
The application of cheekpieces appears to have worked the oracle with KALAMA SUNRISE. Jack Channon's filly has won both starts since being fitted with the headgear and, given the ease of Monday's four-length success at Chepstow, the hat-trick looks a distinct possibility. Dappled Light was narrowly beaten by the selection earlier in the month and may prove the main threat once again on more favourable terms. Mykonos St John slides further down the handicap and could bounce back to form.
KALAMA SUNRISE is going the right way now and can complete the hat-trick, once again at the chief expense of Dappled Light, who finished well from rear in their meeting at Chepstow earlier in the month. Handicap-newcomer Signature Blue may do better in this sphere and completes the 1-2-3.
Dappled Light is weighted to reverse recent Chepstow form with KALAMA SUNRISE (nap) but it may not be that straightforward.
(8) Alabama Anna 11/2, Thrice-raced maiden. 14/1 and hooded for 1st time, sixth of 8 in maiden at Salisbury (6f, good) 29 days ago, hampered. Back up in trip. Booking of Murphy a plus. Makes handicap debut. Uphill task. Top-class pedigree; likely improver now handicapping at a low level.
6
(6) (12/1 -33%) The Cola Kid
12
12/1(-33%)
(6) The Cola Kid 12/1, Course winner. 7/2, seventh of 10 in handicap at Chepstow (6.1f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Back up in trip. Becoming well treated. On last winning mark and this return to a longer trip should suit; one to consider.
3
(3) (14/1 +0%) Airshow
14
14/1(+0%)
(3) Airshow 14/1, Latest win at Chelmsford City in March. Seventh of 9 in handicap (8/1) at Chepstow (6.1f, heavy) 40 days ago. Back up in trip. Others preferred. Beat Conquest Of Power over 7f on AW in March; quiet over shorter since; could revive.
5
1st (5) (10/3 +17%) Rockymountainway
3.333333
10/3(+17%)
(5) Rockymountainway 10/3, Lightly-raced maiden. Very good third of 8 in handicap at Leicester (6f, soft, 15/2) 26 days ago, nearest finish. Back up in trip. Expected to be bang there. Unexposed filly who ran well on last month's h'cap debut (6f, heavy); return to 7f a plus.
7
2nd (7) (8/1 +20%) Yellow Pages
8
8/1(+20%)
(7) Yellow Pages 8/1, 12/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Leicester (6f, good) 8 days ago. Back up in trip. Shaped nicely on previous outing and merits respect. Not progressing in handicaps; stamina for an extended 7f unconvincing thus far.
1
3rd (1) (13/2 -117%) Conquest Of Power
6.5
13/2(-117%)
(1) Conquest Of Power 13/2, 3 wins from 11 runs this year. 16/5, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 45 days ago, kept up to work. Solid claims in the hat-trick bid. 2-2 in the visor and not yet fully exposed at 7f; could probably use some rain though.
9
4th (9) (17/2 -13%) Indication Court
8.5
17/2(-13%)
(9) Indication Court 17/2, Career best when winning 8-runner claimer (40/1) at Leicester (7f, soft) 26 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Craig Lidster. Will find this tougher. Bolted up in heavy-ground claimer last month; new yard; different conditions to deal with.
2
5th (2) (6/4 +50%) King Of Scotia
1.5
6/4(+50%)
(2) King Of Scotia 6/4, Improved on recent efforts to win 8-runner handicap (12/1) at Brighton (8f, good) 5 days ago, readily. Carries penalty. Makes plenty of appeal. Ended losing run for the yard at Brighton on Tuesday; 5lb penalty not insurmountable.
16:40 Ffos Las Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Conquest Of Power recorded a quick double on the Polytrack last month. He's 6lb higher back on turf, while King Of Scotia is penalised 5lb for ending a long losing run at Brighton. ROCKYMOUNTAINWAY finished a creditable third at Leicester on her handicap debut, especially considering it was testing ground. A faster surface should suit Charlie Fellowes' unexposed filly and she's fancied to make a bold bid with further progress likely. Alabama Anna is another with scope for improvement as she goes handicapping for the first time.
ROCKYMOUNTAINWAY shaped like she's ahead of her opening mark when third at Leicester 26 days ago and, with the step back up in trip firmly in her favour, she's the one to side with. Conquest of Power is on a roll and deserves respect in his hat-trick bid, while King of Scotia can't be ruled out.
King Of Scotia can go well under a penalty but unexposed handicap debutante ALABAMA ANNA might be the answer.

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.
