UK Horse Racing Tips: Ffos Las

ETON COLLEGE had the beating of subsequent Chepstow scorer Obama Army (second) when the pair met at Nottingham two starts ago. He failed to make an impact when upped to 10 furlongs at Newmarket last time, but Jamie Osborne's gelding could bounce back to confirm that form back at a mile. Lunanera showed signs of ability when trained in France and the market can guide on his first start for Archie Watson.
Prediction : 1st Eton College 2nd Obama Army 3rd Lunanera

Ollie Sangster was glowing in his post-race assessment of PER CONTRA, who trounced his rivals, including a subsequent winner, despite doing plenty wrong at Chepstow on debut. This is more demanding under a penalty, but he is clearly held in high regard, evidenced by his entry in the Champagne Stakes at Doncaster. Duely Spiced was no match for a ready winner at Lingfield last time out but she is likely to be thereabouts, while Tomorrow Day is noted too.
Prediction : 1st Per Contra 2nd Duely Spiced 3rd Tomorrow Day

Just half a length separated OVERNIGHT OATS (winner) and Ben Hamrash (second) when the pair met at Sandown three weeks ago. The former is 1lb worse off this time, but his pedigree would suggest forecast ground conditions will be no problem and that could make all the difference. Ithra, who sports first-time cheekpieces, should not be underestimated on her handicap bow.
Prediction : 1st Overnight Oats 2nd Ben Hamrash 3rd Ithra

VIOLETS STAR run a debut full of promise at huge odds at Thirsk over 7f and she was highly tried on only her second start in Listed company at Deauville. She was well beaten that day but drops into a maiden now and can take full advantage. Many A Year was free to post last time at Salisbury when an encouraging second, so that performance can be upgraded, while Monty Be Quick could put his best foot forward back on turf after disappointing at Kempton.
Prediction : 1st Violets Star 2nd Many A Year 3rd Monty Be Quick

STARPROOF did it very nicely at Lingfield on her penultimate start when going in by over three lengths, but she followed that up with a very disappointing effort next time. However, she is well worth another chance while that impressive display two starts ago remains fresh in the memory. Margaret's Fuchsia shed her maiden tag here last time over an extended 7f and looks an interesting contender back at this distance. Stryder warrants a market check too.
Prediction : 1st Starproof 2nd Margarets Fuchsia 3rd Stryder

NATACATA attempted to make all at Lingfield, but she was just denied by a neck. That was her best performance to date, though, and she is fancied despite getting a 3lb rise for that display. Duke Of Vienna makes his first start for the Alexandra Dunn stable and, if the market speaks in his favour, he would be of interest. Buxlow Boy can beat Nusra home for third.
Prediction : 1st Natacata 2nd Duke Of Vienna 3rd Buxlow Boy
