UK Horse Racing Tips: Ffos Las

ASTRA VIA has a decent amount of chasing experience and although she's not the most consistent, she should prove tough to beat if anywhere near her best. Runasimi River looks the biggest danger, but she doesn't have the best record fresh, so this might not be the best time to catch her. Howdilyoudo has disappointed since making a winning chase debut at Stratford in May, but he'd be a danger to all if bouncing back to form.
Prediction : 1st Astra Via 2nd Runasimi River 3rd Howdilyoudo

The market is likely to be the best guide as to what's expected of these unraced juveniles, but ZOEMAN might be the most interesting. He hails from the Tom George yard and looks like the type capable of making a winning start, especially if he's strong in the betting. Fergal O'Brien's runners must always be respected in races like this, so Tintintin is one to take very seriously, while Despereaux has plenty of speed in his pedigree and he's another to note.
Prediction : 1st Zoeman 2nd Tintintin 3rd Despereaux

Despite the small field, this looks an extremely tricky contest, but HONNEUR D'AJONC was hugely progressive in handicaps last year and he didn't acquit himself too badly in Grade 2 company at Kelso in March, so Jane Williams' five-year-old looks the one to side with. Things didn't quite go to plan for Boothill last season, but he looks well handicapped on the best of his form, while Super Six looks open to any amount of improvement for the Twiston-Davies team.
Prediction : 1st Honneur DAjonc 2nd Boothill 3rd Super Six

GIN COCO looked a handicapper to follow when second in a big-field at Punchestown in April and his win in a maiden hurdle at Fontwell came after an absence, so if able to show his best after a break, then he looks one to take very seriously in receipt of plenty of weight. Providing the ground isn't too testing, Milkwood is always one to consider in races like this, but Glory And Fortune rates as the biggest danger now returned to a handicap.
Prediction : 1st Gin Coco 2nd Glory And Fortune 3rd Milkwood

Farceur De Maulne arrives after a lengthy absence following a career-best effort when landing the spoils in convincing style at Worcester in May. The seven-year-old rates a big player, but it may pay dividends to side with CAMEMBERT ELECTRIC on his first attempt at this distance. Although he failed to fire when sixth at Southwell last time out, he is bred to appreciate this step up in trip and can mount a bold bid. Navegaon Gate is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Camembert Electric 2nd Farceur De Maulne 3rd Navegaon Gate

OBEY THE RULES has been knocking on the door on his last two outings and the consistent seven-year-old can add a fourth career win to his tally in this contest. Despite a lacklustre round of jumping at Bangor-on-Dee last time out, he gave a good account to pull 17 lengths clear of third and he rates the one to beat off an unchanged mark. Court Royale has been edging in the right direction and warrants respect, while Shortcross Storm completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Obey The Rules 2nd Court Royale 3rd Shortcross Storm

NOT LONG LEFT gave a good account when second on his sole start in a point-to-point and, considering the son of Presenting was bought for 200,000 pounds as a three-year-old, it would be no surprise to see him shed the maiden tag at the first time of asking. Rock On Harry has shown plenty of promise and must be respected on his first start under Rules, while Kioto Sun is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Not Long Left 2nd Rock On Harry 3rd Kioto Sun
