UK Horse Racing Tips: Ffos Las

It might pay to side with the veteran of the pack, CRUISING BYE, who has been threatening to strike since returning to action in late April and he does have course-winning form under his belt. He is officially 4lb well-in while Butlergrove King, who wears the tongue-tie/cheekpieces combination for the first time and arrives on the back of solid win and placed efforts, is 2lb well-in. Gentleman Moore and A Tail Of Intrigue are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Cruising Bye 2nd Butlergrove King 3rd Gentleman Moore

FIRST FIGARO was rated 127 over hurdles in the not-too-distant past and has to be respected switching to fences off a mark of 114. Broughtons Rhythm makes some appeal on his Southwell second off 3lb higher in March and is considered the principal threat, while it would come as no surprise to see Schnabel bounce back to winning form as he's dropped 5lb lower than when successful over a similar trip over hurdles at Wincanton 13 months ago.
Prediction : 1st First Figaro 2nd Broughtons Rhythm 3rd Schnabel

All four declared runners have a definite chance but preference is for CESAR ET ROSALIE, who produced a career-best performance when landing the Staffordshire Plate at Uttoxeter last time. He is 6lb higher in the ratings on this occasion but drops in class, which could prove key as he looks to see off other last-start scorers Stockburn and Marble Moon, and Colin Tizzard's veteran Bally Longford, who only found subsequent winner Darcy Ward too good at Exeter latest.
Prediction : 1st Cesar Et Rosalie 2nd Stockburn 3rd Bally Longford

BAISER INTERDIT made a winning start to her career in the UK at Sedgefield and the drop to 2m appears in her favour having raced keenly throughout that contest. Ena Baie hasn't lived up to her French Grade 3 bumper success in two outings for Harry Fry but she remains open to progression and may benefit from the application of a hood, while Cuillin makes some appeal on her debut for Noel Williams after ending her Flat career for James Fanshawe with a handful of consistent efforts in defeat.
Prediction : 1st Baiser Interdit 2nd Ena Baie 3rd Cuillin

VICTARION was inconvenienced by the slow early gallop before staying on well to finish second at Warwick last month. The extra furlong on a more galloping track will play to the strengths of Philip Hobbs' gelding and he can get the better of Tsundoku, second at Fakenham on his most recent start, and Mead Vale, who can improve on his second outing after a break.
Prediction : 1st Victarion 2nd Tsundoku 3rd Mead Vale

ALLTIMEGOLD has won three of his five outings since returning in April and Tim Vaughan's six-year-old is back at the scene of his impressive 14-length victory last month. All of those triumphs came over fences, but he now reverts to hurdles off a mark 13lb lower than his current chase figure and can get back on track having had to settle for a silver medal at Worcester at the weekend. Lady Marwah is still in the early stages of life in the handicap ranks and is respected despite struggling last time, while Sin Sin made an encouraging reappearance over track and trip last month and could build on that off just a 2lb higher mark.
Prediction : 1st Alltimegold 2nd Sin Sin 3rd Lady Marwah

Evan Williams won this last year and he may take the spoils once again with his course winner MARKET ROAD, who has his optimum trip here and the nine-year-old has dropped to a mark 2lb lower than his last winning rating. Fellow course scorer Flanagans Field has been in useful form and could be capable of playing a part, while Codeshare looks the pick of Peter Bowen's pair following his Ludlow fourth and competes off the same mark.
Prediction : 1st Market Road 2nd Codeshare 3rd Flanagans Field
