UK Horse Racing Tips: Ffos Las

SHAUGHNESSY is expected to build on his Exeter fourth in December now sporting first-time cheekpieces and also dropping back in trip. Cottonvale makes some appeal on his 2m6f course second in January and is unlikely to be far away, while others to consider are Gone Platinum, who returns from a spell chasing, and the unexposed Sign Of War, who makes his handicap debut.
Prediction : 1st Shaughnessy 2nd Gone Platinum 3rd Sign Of War

GOOD BOY BOBBY annihilated his rivals over 2m in a novice contest at Southwell last month and is expected to give a good account now running under a penalty. Quoi De Neuf was far from disgraced when fourth in Grade 2 company at Sandown in December and could feasibly take a hand on these terms. Mind Your Back is open to further improvement over this trip and is no forlorn hope for a place.
Prediction : 1st Good Boy Bobby 2nd Quoi De Neuf 3rd Mind Your Back

Flight To Milan fell at Taunton last time and has viable claims if bouncing back to his best, though of more interest is VICENZO MIO, who returned to form when second over the extended 2m3f at Plumpton last time and could show up well here off a 1lb lower perch. Chozen is rated 9lb higher than when scoring at Southwell in October and has place possibilities, likewise Alf 'n' Dor, who is 5lb higher than when striking at Plumpton in January.
Prediction : 1st Vicenzo Mio 2nd Flight To Milan 3rd Chozen

SHANROE SANTOS has struggled in better races at Newbury and Sandown the last twice but his sights are lowered and you only have to go back three starts for when he finished a very creditable second behind subsequent Cheltenham Festival scorer Beware The Bear at Prestbury Park. On that form he's a big player off 133 and gets the nod ahead of Milansbar and Lord Bryan.
Prediction : 1st Shanroe Santos 2nd Milansbar 3rd Lord Bryan

A competitive handicap in which what can only be described as a tentative vote is for NEWTIDE. An unexposed hurdler, he is entitled to have improved for his latest Warwick spin and the drop in distance won't do him any harm either if his Ascot third in December is anything to go by. Jabulani won at Newbury last month and the course scorer will no doubt prove popular, while Royal Claret is well weighted and another to note.
Prediction : 1st Newtide 2nd Jabulani 3rd Royal Claret
