UK Horse Racing Tips: Ffos Las

Several of these arrive in good form, last-time-out winners Moveit Like Minnie and Karakoram could remain competitive after small rises in the handicap. There should be more to come from Walkinthewoods and the Evan Williams charge cannot be ruled out if brushing up on his jumping. However, a chance is taken on ARDENAY, who is making his handicap debut off what could prove a lenient mark. The five-year-old shaped with promise in a novice hurdle last month at Warwick and he should prove more competitive at this level.
Prediction : 1st Ardenay 2nd Walkinthewoods 3rd Moveit Like Minnie

DEERE MARK was highly tried in the Grade 2 Supreme Trial at Cheltenham last month, but he wasn't quite ready for that level. However, this rates a good opportunity for the Sam Thomas-trained inmate to gain a breakthrough success over hurdles. Jet Marshall hasn't been disgraced in two appearances over the smaller obstacles and may give the selection most to think about. Imperial Admiral warrants close inspection in the betting on debut, with Kim Bailey boasting a healthy strike-rate with his hurdlers at this course.
Prediction : 1st Deere Mark 2nd Jet Marshall 3rd Imperial Admiral

Manintheshadows should not be taken lightly in his attempt to land a third-consecutive victory, but does need to prove his aptitude for fences after jumping poorly on his chase debut last December. BRING THE ACTION may put his experience over the larger obstacles to good use and gain a second win under Rules. The Nigel Hawke-trained gelding drew well clear with the winner when second on his seasonal reappearance at Doncaster 19 days ago, and compensation could await here. Hey Bud ran a fine second here on his first start for Ella Pickard last month and is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Bring The Action 2nd Hey Bud 3rd Manintheshadows

Jamie Snowden won this race last year and looks to hold strong claims this time around with the recent Uttoxeter runner-up SPITFIRE GIRL. She is 6lb well in today following that narrow defeat and has also had a wind operation in the meantime. This step back up in trip is sure to suit Flying Nun, who has ran respectably on both starts this season but will appreciate this test of stamina. Getaweapon was a shade disappointing when attempting to make all at Warwick last month and is upped to this trip for the first time.
Prediction : 1st Spitfire Girl 2nd Flying Nun 3rd Getaweapon

MAHON POINT made a pleasing start to the season when runner-up at Ludlow last month and looks primed for a big effort on his chasing debut. Rock Of Star was still in with a chance when falling two out at Chepstow on his first start over the larger obstacles and is respected along with Caswell Bay, who is likely to strip fitter from his seasonal return here.
Prediction : 1st Mahon Point 2nd Rock Of Star 3rd Caswell Bay

A return to this track can see SPRING MEADOW bounce back to winning ways, having won so easily over C&D in October before disappointing at Warwick last time out. Finn Lambert's 5lb claim is another plus and he can see off Morning Line, who is entitled to improve on a respectable bumper effort at Worcester. Propelled was runner-up to a subsequent Grade One-placed rival at Huntingdon in March and is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Spring Meadow 2nd Morning Line 3rd Propelled

In an open event the market will be a key guide but slight preference is for the well-bred LA PAGERIE, who is a half-sister to the dual Grade 1 winner Whisper. Norman Fletcher could be the chief threat being closely related to the smart Super Six, while Quality is another to note for a stable that can ready one first time out.
Prediction : 1st La Pagerie 2nd Norman Fletcher 3rd Quality
