UK Horse Racing Tips: Ffos Las

An intriguing contest, with all three tackling fences for the first time. SOARING GLORY had to settle for fifth when trying to defend his Betfair Hurdle crown and could be capable of conceding lumps of weight to his rivals, although Knickerbockerglory is not to be underestimated in his bid to complete a hat-trick after winning at Ludlow and Perth in the spring. Easy As That has a 639-day absence to overcome and now finds himself 16lb higher than when successful at Chepstow.
Prediction : 1st Soaring Glory 2nd Knickerbockerglory 3rd Easy As That

The hurdling form on offer doesn't look particularly strong, with Galante De Romay arguably setting the standard with her well-beaten third at Huntingdon, after which she pulled up at the same venue. MISSED TEE makes most appeal on her Rules debut for the Dan Skelton yard after winning a point-to-point with ease and this looks a good opportunity to get on the board in this sphere. Rath Gaul Hill was narrowly denied on his sole appearance between the flags and may prove the biggest threat.
Prediction : 1st Missed Tee 2nd Rath Gaul Hill 3rd Galante De Romay

Poldark Cross produced some creditable efforts in defeat last season, but he still needs to prove his stamina for this distance under Rules and may be worth taking on. LOOKS LIKE POWER has been given a chance by the handicapper after a 5lb drop for finishing third over C&D in February and the veteran could be ready to strike. Icaque De L'isle and Alminar are both starting off for new stables and warrant close attention in the market.
Prediction : 1st Looks Like Power 2nd Icaque De Lisle 3rd Alminar

Winning pointer TAKE NO CHANCES cost 95,000 pounds at the sales in May, and she's fancied to strike on her hurdling bow. The daughter of Milan is related to plenty of winners so Dan Skelton's filly ought to be more than capable of landing a race of this nature. Gladiatus finished a solid third at Chepstow last month and he could take a step forward from that. Copper Cove is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Take No Chances 2nd Gladiatus 3rd Copper Cove

Evan Williams landed this contest last year with To Be Sure, and he arrives with three chances this time around. The pick of the bunch could be PRIME VENTURE, who rounded off last term by pulling up in the bet365 Gold Cup but can operate from 8lb below his last winning hurdles mark here, and Eleanor Williams' 7lb claim ought to further aid his chances. Phantom Getaway is fancied to follow him home ahead of Colonel Manderson.
Prediction : 1st Prime Venture 2nd Phantom Getaway 3rd Colonel Manderson

This can go the way of FOLLY GATE, who was narrowly denied over C&D on his latest start and can gain compensation here off a 2lb higher mark. Starvoski has yet to put it together over fences but she was an easy winner over the smaller obstacles at Uttoxeter in March, while Master Mikey Dee is another to consider. Less than two lengths separated Ring The Moon (first) and You Say Nothing (second) when they met over C&D in March and both are likely to be thereabouts again.
Prediction : 1st Folly Gate 2nd Starvoski 3rd You Say Nothing

HENRY BOX BROWN must hold every chance if building upon a back-to-form second at Plumpton last month, when staying on over 2m. Evan Williams' representative should appreciate going back up in trip and he is preferred to Roger Rarebit, who must hold strong claims on his penultimate effort at Wetherby. Captain Claude and Inferno Sacree are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
Prediction : 1st Henry Box Brown 2nd Roger Rarebit 3rd Captain Claude
