UK Horse Racing Tips: Ffos Las

HEARTRATE shed his maiden tag at the eighth time of asking at Tipperary in May and that form is working out very well, with three subsequent winners coming out of the race. The three-year-old now makes his first start for the Mark Loughnane stable and he could be well up to defying his opening mark of 68. Zoukster scored when he was last seen over this trip at Salisbury, and he is three wins from his last five starts. Lord P is best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Heartrate 2nd Zoukster 3rd Lord P

Hedge Fund made all to go in by just under a length at Wolverhampton on his nursery bow, which was a pleasing display, but he will find it tough off a 4lb higher mark. For that reason, the vote goes to NOTTA NOTHER, who was an encouraging fourth at Sandown in a class 4 event and the handicapper has been kind enough to drop him 2lb for that effort. Crooked Crown sports first-time blinkers and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Notta Nother 2nd Hedge Fund 3rd Crooked Crown

MAJOR MAJOR is two from his last two since stepping up in trip, and he did it well when justifying favouritism at Windsor. The three-year-old now has to compete off a 4lb higher rating, which is unlikely to halt his progression. Last-time-out victor Different Tone is unexposed over this distance and has to be considered off a 4lb higher mark, while any market support for Navarre Express on her handicap bow should be noted.
Prediction : 1st Major Major 2nd Different Tone 3rd Navarre Express

CHEQUERS COURT made a pleasing start to his career when running into a modest fourth over 7f at Newbury, and he looks primed to offer a bold bid. Richard Hannon's charge is fancied to make his presence felt in these calmer waters and this looks a good chance to shed the maiden tag. Validated is likely to pose the biggest threat to the selection after successive placed efforts, while Green Sigma is respected on debut.
Prediction : 1st Chequers Court 2nd Validated 3rd Green Sigma

This race seems to revolve around the performance of debutant MARIRAH, who arrives here for the in-form Roger Varian stable and is taken to get off the mark at the first time of asking. This well-bred daughter of Kingman is related to plenty of winners who have succeeded at this trip and she is likely to offer a bold bid. Naturelle rates as the biggest danger after a very pleasing start to her career when second over 7f at Chepstow, while Minka completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Marirah 2nd Naturelle 3rd Minka

FINEST LEADER remains on a large upward curve having been narrowly beaten by another progressive rival at Kempton last week. He's due to go up another 4lb so this looks a solid opportunity to gain a fourth win of the season. Honeymooner is another youngster on the improve and is likely to ask plenty of questions of the selection. The step up in trip may see Heat Of The Moment in a better light too.
Prediction : 1st Finest Leader 2nd Honeymooner 3rd Heat Of The Moment

CEILIDH has been knocking on the door for a while and ran a cracker at Brighton last time. The winner of that race has bolted up again since and he can gain a deserved success. The Cola Kid is another consistent sort and is highly likely to be involved in the finish. Lady Gazelle and Gonzaga have both hinted that there should be more to come and can't be dismissed.
Prediction : 1st Ceilidh 2nd The Cola Kid 3rd Lady Gazelle
