Sounds Of Spring

3/1(+54%)
(8) Sounds Of Spring 3/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Seventh of 11 in handicap (6/1) at Thirsk (6f, good) 58 days ago. Tongue strap back on but drying ground probably not in his favour.
Thirsk run was more encouraging and he's likely to come good again sooner or later.

(2) Diamondsinthesand 6/4, Certainly wasn't winning out of turn when landing 7-runner handicap at this course (7.4f, heavy) 7 days ago, despite being slowly away. Carries penalty and that may prevent the follow up.
Travelled best and got the job done over the extended 7f here last week on heavy ground.

No win in two years and well beaten in both runs since returning from an absence.

(6) Revolucion 40/1, Fourteen runs since sole win in 2023. 40/1, sixth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 14 days ago. That was a bit more like it from his falling mark but he's no banker to build on that.
1-31 overall (0-6 on turf); hard to win with and unraced on heavy ground.

13/2(-63%)
(4) Autumn Angel 13/2, Southwell winner in January who returned to form when third of 10 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good to firm) despite a poor start 19 days ago. Needs considering.
Handles soft ground (unraced on heavy) and her Leicester third came after 97 days away.

Sisters In The Sky

16/1(-357%)
(5) Sisters In The Sky 16/1, Latest win at Bath in July. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good to firm, 11/2) 13 days ago, racing off the pace in what was a modestly-run race. Of serious interest with Billy Loughnane taking over.
Only sixth at Bath last time but he wasn't far away after again missing the break.

13:25 Ffos Las Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

In what looks a winnable affair, DIAMONDSINTHESAND gets the vote. Adrian Wintle's charge put the race to bed in a matter of strides when scoring comfortably over an extended 7f here last week and, eased in trip under a 4lb penalty, he should be tough to stop provided he arrives in similar form. Bama Lama probably did too much early on when fading into fourth over this trip at Chepstow latest and she must enter calculations off a 1lb lower mark. Endowed is also noteworthy.

The Bath race SISTERS IN THE SKY finished a respectable sixth in has thrown up a couple of next-time-out winners and in the hope he gets a better pace to aim at this time, he could be the answer. Bama Lama drops in grade so commands respect, along with Autumn Angel.

A winner here last week over further, DIAMONDSINTHESAND faces similar conditions and he can defy the penalty.

King's Vanity

7
7/1(-40%)
(3) King's Vanity 7/1, Hard puller and a hood failed to improve matters when thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 16 days ago. That was in a higher band of handicap.
Only effort of real note in six handicaps was his 2l fourth at Southwell two runs back.

Fleurir

6/1(-220%)
(1) Fleurir 6/1, Didn't need to improve to land the odds in maiden company at Pontefract last summer. Last of 8 in handicap at Bath (8f, heavy) on return in May but she was badly hampered so can be forgiven that. This will reveal more.
Only 1-7 and was poor on her soft-ground reappearance; had another break.

Raimunda

(5) Raimunda 2/1, Merely matched reappearance run when respectable sixth of 12 in handicap (14/1) at Sandown (8f, good) 22 days ago. Eased further 2 lb and represents in-form yard.
Heavy-ground novice winner; Sandown last time was more competitive than this.

City Cyclone

16/1(+20%)
(6) City Cyclone 16/1, AW winner in January but well held when thirteenth of 15 in handicap at Newbury (7f, good to firm, 66/1) 14 days ago after a break, Needs to leave that run well behind.
7f AW winner; could have run better last time but probably acts on heavy.

Hodler

1.375
11/8(+54%)
(2) Hodler 11/8, Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. Respectable seventh of 14 in handicap at Epsom (7f, good, 14/1) 4 days ago, never nearer. Eases slightly in grade.
Running just okay but he takes a drop in grade and heavy ground doesn't bother him.

13:55 Ffos Las Handicap (Class 5) 7f  Race Class Flow

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

FLEURIR blotted her copybook with a tame effort on her reappearance when last of eight over a mile at Bath in May, but she had previously shown enough to suggest that there are races in her off this mark, most notably when bolting up in a Pontefract maiden on her penultimate start. With that in mind, the daughter of Justify gets the vote to bounce back. Raimunda was probably too keen for her own good when fifth over a mile at Sandown recently and, subsequently eased 2lb, she is respected provided she puts in a more professional display. King's Vanity is another to consider.

FLEURIR's reappearance run is easy to forgive and given she lurks on a good mark on the pick of her 3-y-o form, she's taken to get it right this time. Hodler usually runs in better handicaps than this so he needs considering, along with Raimunda.

This can go to RAIMUNDA who has no questions to answer on heavy ground and this looks easier than at Sandown last time.

20/1(-150%)
(6) Native Souvenir 20/1, Invincible Spirit filly. Closely related to useful 6f-8.3f winner Imrahor and 1m-1¼m winner Dukeman. Makes plenty of appeal on paper.
Closely related to useful winner Imrahor (6.5f/1m; RPR 101); needs a market check.

(9) Times Edition 3/1, Lightly-raced filly. Respectable second of 9 in maiden (15/8) at Nottingham (8.3f, good) 17 days ago, conceding first run. Likely to give it another good shot.
0-5 but could appreciate this surface and that may count for a lot.

(4) Groovy Baby 9/1, Lightly-raced filly who is being held back by her refusal to settle, 28/1, below form fifth of 9 in novice at Kempton (8f) 23 days ago.
Second here on sole turf run but the balance of her form doesn't look good enough.

Flag Of Love

9/1(-157%)
(3) Flag Of Love 9/1, Low-key debut but much more like it 9 months on when second of 6 in novice at Haydock (8f, soft, 40/1) 41 days ago, slowly away. That puts her right in the mix.
Improved second at Haydock; bare form gives her a bit to find with Heart Of The City.

5th (5) Heart Of The City (2/1 +33%)
Heart Of The City

2
2/1(+33%)
(5) Heart Of The City 2/1, Expensive yearling who produced a promising first effort when second at Newmarket. Disappointing switched to the AW when seventh of 12 in maiden at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 7/2) 46 days ago but she's a danger to all if bouncing back.
Heavy ground an unknown but strong claims on the strength of her debut effort at Newmarket.

Angel Rose

28
28/1(-100%)
(1) Angel Rose 28/1, £105,000 2-y-o by Dark Ange. Sister to several winners, including very smart winner up to 8.5f Sovereign Debt and useful 6f/7f winner Sorelle Delle Rose. Sixth of 9 in novice at Kempton (7f, 18/1) on debut 16 days ago. Lots more needed.
Given pedigree/£105,000 breeze-up buy, it was an underwhelming debut on the Kempton AW.

Bath third nothing special and was then beaten 16l at Newbury.

Closely related to Listed winner (heavy) Sparks Fly for the same connections.

14:30 Ffos Las Maiden (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

The relatively experienced TIMES EDITION looked unsuited by the way the race developed when finishing runner-up behind an all-the-way winner over an extended mile at Nottingham recently, but the way she pulled clear of the third suggested that she is very much a winner in waiting and she edges preference in what looks a trappy affair. Heart Of The City followed her promising debut second over 7f at Newmarket with a low-key effort over the same distance at Wolverhampton, but the daughter of Night Of Thunder is surely capable of better and merits serious respect. Angel Rose may outrun her forecast odds.

FLAG OF LOVE isn't really bred for this far but she stuck to her task really well when second to a pretty useful one at Haydock last month and on that evidence, she's just about the most persuasive option. Heart of The City is a huge threat if casting aside a poor run on the AW, while Native Souvenir is a likely-looking newcomer.

Preference is for TIMES EDITION who has at least proved herself on a soft surface and that could count for plenty.

(4) Pearl Sands 5/2, Modest gelding. 14/1, ninth of 14 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good) 15 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Better than that and capable of making a mark at this level.
Has ability but remains a maiden (0-11) and has more to prove on testing ground than some.

15:05 Ffos Las Stakes (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

DAANY struggled to land a blow here earlier in the month when in handicap company, but the seven-year-old, who scored over C&D in this grade the time before, may well bounce back on this occasion. Pearl Sands is better judged on his second at Thirsk and is likely to enter the reckoning along with Tres Chic, who has the assistance of Billy Loughnane in the saddle.

PEARL SANDS looked on the way back at Thirsk before not seen to best effect at Beverley, so is worth another chance. Tres Chic and Daany are feared most on these terms.

All of these come with risks at the best of times. TRES CHIC struggles with her consistency but today's weights give her every chance.

Debut effort as good as it's got this season; soft ground is a further issue.

15:40 Ffos Las Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

A testing surface seemed to be the key for improvement with last week's C&D heroine DRUSILLA as the daughter of Saxon Warrior gained her first ever success. Despite having a 6lb penalty to overcome, she has similar conditions to aid her cause in what appears to be a winnable contest on paper. Budding is expected to benefit from wind surgery on his first start since the end of May, while Beverley runner-up Solar Bentley completes the shortlist.

DRUSILLA showed much improved form to get off the mark under similar conditions over C&D last week and looks capable of defying a penalty. Solar Bentley made a promising start for this yard when second at Beverley and is feared most.

The well-bred filly DRUSILLA looked very much at home under these conditions when making all last week and she can go in again.

16:10 Ffos Las Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

THREE DONS arrives in tremendous form having made it five wins from his last seven outings over this C&D last Friday. The five-year-old has showcased his versatility on different types of ground and Tony Carroll's gelding may prove a tough nut to crack under a 5lb penalty. Surrey Charm made a winning reappearance at Chepstow last July off a 2lb lower mark and is respected with a first-time tongue-tie applied. Foinix and Sonnet Star appeal most of the remainder.

THREE DONS made it 5 wins from his last 7 starts in good style over C&D last week and can defy a penalty. Sonnet Star is coming back to her best off her reduced mark and is next best.

It's been a common theme on the card to trust those with heavy-ground form and THREE DONS (nap) relished the conditions here last week.

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.
