UK Horse Racing Tips: Ffos Las

I Got Stung is an interesting contender making his hurdles debut for the Kim Bailey yard, but preference goes to NORN IRON. The son of Soldier Of Fortune is likely to take a step forward from his first start over hurdles when not beaten far at Chepstow behind a subsequent winner and he could go close. Polyphonic looks best of the remainder, as he finishing a close-up second at Fontwell latest and sets the standard with that effort.
Prediction : 1st Norn Iron 2nd I Got Stung 3rd Polyphonic

KALPAGA bolted up at Hereford last time over 2m3f and she was put up 11lb for that effort, which might not be enough to prevent the mare from going in once more. With conditions in her favour and the step up in trip a possible source of improvement, she could prove tough to beat. Fay Ce Que Voudras has to be respected, as she takes a drop in class and was dropped 2lb for a respectable effort at Chepstow last time. Phillapa Sue is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Kalpaga 2nd Fay Ce Que Voudras 3rd Phillapa Sue

Viva Lavilla returns from a short break for the in-form Dan Skelton yard and the seven-year-old tries first-time cheekpieces, which could spark some improvement. However, he may have to play second best to JAZZ KING, who hacked up over this trip at Ludlow on his latest outing and was only put up 7lb for that effort. The son of Kapgarde is likely to have loads more to come on only his second chase start and can strike once again. Wewillgowithplanb returns back to this sphere and that could prove a positive move.
Prediction : 1st Jazz King 2nd Viva Lavilla 3rd Wewillgowithplanb

Robyndzone won for the first time in almost three years when beating a subsequent winner at Hereford earlier in the month, but he may be worth taking on now effectively 10lb higher in the handicap with Charlie Deutsch back in the saddle. PRINCE DES FICHAUX was just under three lengths behind on that occasion and holds strong claims in reversing the form now only 1lb higher in the ratings. Premier D'troice arrives in good heart and is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Prince Des Fichaux 2nd Robyndzone 3rd Premier Dtroice

BUMPY JOHNSON returned to form when a neck second at Exeter earlier in the month and a 3lb raise from the handicapper may not be enough to prevent David Pipe's inmate from gaining a second success over C&D. Big Ambitions makes his handicap debut off what looks a fair opening mark and he can't be discounted over this slightly stiffer test. King Of Brazil also makes his first foray into this sphere and enters calculations too.
Prediction : 1st Bumpy Johnson 2nd Big Ambitions 3rd King Of Brazil

WIDEEYEDANDLEGLESS posted creditable efforts in defeat at both Chepstow and Wincanton last month and may have been found a good opportunity to shed his maiden tag under Rules at the fourth time of asking. St Patricks Bridge ran his best race to date when runner-up over 2m3f at Taunton in December and this longer trip of 2m6f could unlock some improvement. Norton Hill was still travelling okay when falling in the back straight at Fontwell on Boxing Day and also warrants consideration now returned to maiden company.
Prediction : 1st Wideeyedandlegless 2nd St Patricks Bridge 3rd Norton Hill

Bolsover Bill recorded a fourth success over fences when winning a small-field affair at Plumpton last month, but a career-best performance will be required today having gone up 5lb in the ratings for that victory. The son of Getaway still demands respect, but a chance is taken on the lightly-raced HAVEANOTHERGOFLO, who makes both his chase and handicap debut on this rare visit to Ffos Las by the Donald McCain team. Abaya Du Mathan arrives in good heart and the veteran is likely to be in mix once more too.
Prediction : 1st Haveanothergoflo 2nd Bolsover Bill 3rd Abaya Du Mathan
