Golden Shot

0.73
0.73/1(+27%)
(4) Golden Shot 0.73/1, One win from 2 runs this year. Latest win at Ayr in July. 8/11, creditable second of 10 in handicap at York (16.2f, good) 10 days ago. Still has low mileage and bold show likely, provided he goes on the ground.
Has to prove he can do it on different ground but he's open to improvement; shortlisted.

Russian Rumour

10
10/1(+29%)
(6) Russian Rumour 10/1, Latest win at Bath in June. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Newbury (16f, good to soft, 9/2) 12 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Looks vulnerable from a win point of view.
Fine on any ground and enjoying a consistent season; hard to knock her out of calculations.
1
3rd (1) Captain Kane (6.5/1 -44%)
Captain Kane

6.5
6.5/1(-44%)
(1) Captain Kane 6.5/1, Eight wins from 23 Flat runs. Career best when winning 6-runner handicap (4/1) at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 21 days ago, overcoming pace bias. 3 lb rise shouldn't be an issue but conditions may be a problem, if the ground remains on the slow side.
Conditions would have to be a worry; there's little wiggle room off this mark anyway.
3
4th (3) Monsieur Lambrays (16/1 +11%)
Monsieur Lambrays

16
16/1(+11%)
(3) Monsieur Lambrays 16/1, Temperamental sort. Seventeen runs since last win in 2020. 33/1, last of 7 in handicap at Goodwood (16f, good to firm) 58 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Best to look elsewhere. Yard also saddles Grandmaster Flash.
This is easier than he's used to and the two-month break looks in his favour if anything.
5
5th (5) Black Kalanisi (22/1 -100%)
Black Kalanisi

22
22/1(-100%)
(5) Black Kalanisi 22/1, Good second of 13 in handicap at York (16.2f, good to firm, 4/1). Off 13 months but resumes for new yard on an attractive mark and it'll be interesting to see how he shapes up in the market.
Into the veteran stage, back from 13 months off, and returns looking high in the weights.
7
6th (7) Grandmaster Flash (40/1 -122%)
Grandmaster Flash

40
40/1(-122%)
(7) Grandmaster Flash 40/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. 11/1, last of 8 in handicap at Sandown (14f, good to firm) 52 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Gary Moore. Opposable.
Ground fine but off since said to have stopped quickly on his final run for Gary Moore.

7th (2) Lexington Knight (6.5/1 -30%)
Lexington Knight

6.5
6.5/1(-30%)
(2) Lexington Knight 6.5/1, Latest win at Newcastle in July. 9/2, fourth of 7 in handicap at Salisbury (12f, soft) 24 days ago. Booking of Simon Walker an obvious selling point but, consistent though this 5-y-o is, he is probably a shade too high in the weights at present.
Has never won a handicap off a mark this high; Simon Walker an obvious plus though.
8

Thefastnthecurious

7.5
7.5/1(+53%)
(8) Thefastnthecurious 7.5/1, 11/4, last of 5 in handicap at Chelmsford City (16f) 47 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Richard Spencer and, having slipped back to her last winning mark, she could have a part to play if on-song.
This ground is an unknown for her new yard, having been picked up recently for 2,700gns.
LTO Selection:

14:35 Ffos Las Handicap (Class 4) 14f Race Class Flow

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

GOLDEN SHOT only just found an improving rival too good at York last Saturday and, although a 5lb higher mark in this contest makes life harder, the four-year-old likely has more races in him this season. Captain Kane is only 3lb higher than last month's all-weather success at Lingfield and merits respect on this switch to turf, while any market support for stable/seasonal debutant Black Kalanisi would increase interest in the veteran.

The one with the most compelling claims is GOLDEN SHOT, who went down all guns blazing at York recently and a 5 lb rise for that near-miss looks fair given that he pulled clear of the rest. This drop back in trip may help offset the forecast slower ground but the prospect of a slow surface is worry where Captain Kane is concerned, but for which he would've been very tempting on the back of his Lingfield success 3 weeks ago. Thefastnthecurious makes some each-way appeal.

Russian Rumour (second choice) has less to prove than most but GOLDEN SHOT remains open to improvement.

1st (4) Devil's Point (0.73/1 +51%)
Devil's Point

0.73
0.73/1(+51%)
(4) Devil's Point 0.73/1, Promising type. Fifth of 10 in minor event at Sandown (7f, good, 12/1) on debut 32 days ago. Likely to come on for that and an entry in the Champagne Stakes suggests that he's held in high regard. Big player.
Green when fifth on Sandown debut; he'll have learned from that and sets the standard.

Spaceport

22/1(-22%)
(7) Spaceport 22/1, Foaled April 26. €35,000 foal, €58,000 yearling, U S Navy Flag colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 1½m Restorer and 1¼m-1½m winner Molinari. Dam 1½m winner. Likely to come on for the run.
Half-brother to a few winners for the yard, notably Restorer; may need time.

Going The Distance

3.33
3.33/1(+17%)
(5) Going The Distance 3.33/1, Foaled March 6. €160,000 yearling, Lope De Vega colt. Dam useful French/US 1m-9.5f winner, won US Grade 3 8.5f event and fourth in American Oaks. Yard no stranger to success with newcomers and he is a likely-looking type.
160,000euros yearling; nothing from the yard can be discounted currently.
2
4th (2) Castle In The Sand (7/1 +22%)
Castle In The Sand

7
7/1(+22%)
(2) Castle In The Sand 7/1, Foaled March 31. New Approach colt. Dam, winner up to 7f (2-y-o 6f winner), half-sister to smart winner up to 8.6f Cicero's Gift. Plenty of appeal on paper and needs a close look in the betting.
Dam won on her 2yo debut for the yard; the market will show what's expected.
6
5th (6) Miami Heat (9/1 +25%)
Miami Heat

9
9/1(+25%)
(6) Miami Heat 9/1, Twice-raced colt. Seventh of 11 in maiden at Ascot (6f, good to soft, 16/1) 10 days ago. Up in trip and will need to raise his game in order to emerge on top here.
Enough in two starts over 6f to suggest he's worth keeping an eye on, maybe in nurseries.

Daring Legend

14
14/1(-180%)
(3) Daring Legend 14/1, Twice-raced colt. 5/2, fourth of 11 in maiden at Kempton (6f) 41 days ago, not clear run. Moving up in trip could help unlock some improvement and he's one to be interested in.
Clearly felt capable of better but has to settle much better upped from 6f on this ground.

Bajan New Moon

(1) Bajan New Moon 125/1, Once-raced gelding. 66/1, twelfth of 13 in minor event at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on debut 22 days ago, slowly away. Up in trip and tongue strap on for 1st time. Readily passed over.
Stiffer test should suit but he was beaten a long way at a big price on his debut.

8th (8) Sub Thirteen (100/1 -52%)
Sub Thirteen

100
100/1(-52%)
(8) Sub Thirteen 100/1, Foaled April 9. 6,000 gns yearling, Territories colt. Half-brother to winner up to 7f Triple Distilled and 2-y-o 6f winner Abstemious. Dam unraced half-sister to smart winner up to 7f Galeota. Yard rarely strikes with newcomers.
6,000gns yearling; yard (also saddle Weston Court) 2-86 with 2yos over the past five years.

(10) Weston Court 200/1, Once-raced gelding. Last of 13 in maiden (66/1) at Leicester (7f, good to firm) on debut 52 days ago. Readily passed over.
Started 66-1 for Leicester debut in June and ran as the market predicted, finishing last.

(11) Woof 40/1, Foaled April 28. €15,000 foal, 9,000 gns yearling, Churchill colt. Dam lightly-raced half-sister to very smart 5f/6f winner Gilt Edge Girl. Probably best watched on debut.
9,000gns yearling; trainer not noted for 2yos but does get the odd successful newcomer.
LTO Selection:

15:05 Ffos Las Maiden (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

There were plenty of positives to be taken from DEVIL'S POINT fifth-placed finish on debut at Sandown last month and the David Menuisier-trained colt could take some stopping with that experience under his belt. Daring Legend appears to be the main threat of those with race experience, but newcomers Going The Distance and Castle In The Sand are potential fly in the ointments. The pair could give the selection most to think about and shouldn't be underestimated.

It looked a strong novice event in which expensive purchase DEVIL'S POINT finished a promising fifth on last month's debut at Sandown and, with improvement on the cards, he earns the vote ahead of likely-looking newcomers Castle In The Sand and Going The Distance. The shortlist is completed by Daring Legend, who was gambled on and duly left his debut form well behind when fourth at Kempton and should have more to offer.

Devil's Point sets the standard but stable form would be a slight worry and maybe GOING THE DISTANCE will be up to the job on debut

Thewaytothestars

5.5
5.5/1(+45%)
(5) Thewaytothestars 5.5/1, Posted best effort for some time when close third of 9 in handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, good to soft, 7/1) 11 days ago, finishing well. Remains on a handy mark and must enter calculations.
Regressive maiden who needs a bit more if she's to make it fifteenth time lucky.

Kynsa

1.38

(3) Kynsa 1.38/1, Lightly-raced maiden who has progressed with each run this term, latest when second of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Races off same mark and holds solid claims.
These conditions should be fine on pedigree and she's surely up to winning off this mark.

Covert Mission

5.5/1(-57%)
(1) Covert Mission 5.5/1, Took advantage of lower turf mark when winning 8-runner handicap (9/2) at Lingfield (7.6f, good to soft) last week. 5 lb penalty may not prevent follow-up here.
Made all last Monday; has more on under a penalty but stable form could barely be better.

(2) My Mate Ted 10/1, 10/3 and visored for 1st time, last of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Needs a couple of these to falter.
Two near-misses to his name in two runs on soft/heavy; capable of better off this mark.

(4) Island Native 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Excellent second of 14 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good to firm, 6/1) 77 days ago, clear of rest. Booking of Murphy a plus.
Better on his handicap debut 11 weeks ago and Oisin Murphy is a positive booking.

(6) Amemri 6.5/1, Latest win at Limerick in June. Respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft, 9/2) 21 days ago. Warrants respect.
Irish raider; been running over further of late but good test at this trip should be fine.

(7) Heerathetrack 40/1, Unreliable individual. Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. 50/1, fifth of 11 in minor event at this course (8f, heavy) 8 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Readily opposed. 1 lb out of the handicap.
One of his better efforts here last time but is a poor, exposed maiden.
LTO Selection:

15:40 Ffos Las Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

COVERT MISSION proved a revelation when given a more aggressive ride to score comfortably at Lingfield last Monday and the five-year-old is hard to oppose in his quest to complete a quick-fire double off 5lb higher. Island Native was far more competitive on his handicap debut when runner-up at Brighton in May and likely has more in the locker this season. Heather Main's charge may emerge as the chief threat, ahead of in-form pair Kynsa and Thewaytothestars.

COVERT MISSION scored in comfortable fashion on easy ground at Leicester last week and a 5 lb penalty doesn't look prohibitive. He can follow up. Kynsa and Thewaytothestars are feared most.

Irish raider Amemri is respected but KYNSA's two placed efforts in handicaps have been well advertised since and she's preferred.

LTO Selection:

16:15 Ffos Las Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

O G BEACHWEAR has not been beaten far on any of her three starts to date and Hugo Palmer's filly has been found an ideal opportunity to get off the mark here. That said, Margaret's Fuchsia was only beaten a head in handicap company last time and should not be underestimated, while Done Decision cannot be discounted on his belated racecourse debut.

O G BEACHWEAR has posted fair form in all 3 outings to date and looks to have been found a good opportunity to get off the mark here. Margaret's Fuchsia is the obvious danger.

It's unlikely that O G BEACHWEAR will ever be found a better opening. The market will help with newcomer Done Decision.

Progressive but needs to settle now upped from 1m on this ground for the first time.

Tends to steer clear of this sort of ground and needs to bounce back from two lesser runs.
LTO Selection:

16:50 Ffos Las Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

A case can be made for all of these but none more so than HITCHED, who has won two of his last three starts. David Simcock's three-year-old is only 2lb higher than the most recent of those victories and that may underestimate the progressive gelding. Night Moon is an interesting Irish raider who put in a career best last time, while City Escape is the pick of the remainder.

Preference is for Irish raider NIGHT MOON, who upped his game when fourth at Killarney last month and remains low mileage. Hitched is chasing his third win of the season and rates the principal danger.

Hitched needs to settle up from 1m but there are no stamina concerns for Irish raider NIGHT MOON (nap), who did better last time.

Hasn't been as good this year but she's uncomplicated and should give her running.

3/1(+40%)
(2) Reve De Magritte 3/1, 8/1, fourth of 9 in minor event at Le Lion-d'Angers (7f, good to soft) 54 days ago. Back down in trip and the market should offer clues with regard to expectations surrounding this French import on debut for new connections.
Ex-French; ground is no concern if she can go the pace on this first crack at 5f.
LTO Selection:

17:20 Ffos Las Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

MOULIN BOOJ got off the mark at the sixth attempt at Wolverhampton last week and a reproduction of that level of form would make him hard to beat here, despite the 6lb penalty. Reve De Magritte was useful when trained in France and a mark of 62 should be workable on her UK debut. Rhubarb and Exquisitely both have claims but the former is just the pick of the pair.

RHUBARB is now 5 lb below her last winning mark and, though 0-9 so far this year, she could be the answer. Richard Price's charge is marginally preferred to Moulin Booj, who did the job well on the all-weather last week and will be a serious threat if able to back that up now returned to turf. Exquisitely has a bit to prove but is on an appealing mark based on her 2-y-o exploits and may be a bigger threat to the aforementioned duo than French import Reve de Magritte.

Conditions are a niggle with MOULIN BOOJ but he's the progressive one and is taken to follow up under the 6lb penalty.

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.
