UK Horse Racing Tips: Ffos Las

Although TEDLEY wasn't quite up to class 2 company when fourth at Warwick last month, his previous runner-up effort here in December sets a fair standard. The Sixties Icon gelding rates the one to beat on that evidence, with his main threat looking to be I See The Sea. Despite some less than fluent jumping, the five-year-old has performed with credit in maiden contests at Bangor and Ludlow. Any market support for multiple point-to-point winner Gouazec on his Rules bow could well be worth noting.
Prediction : 1st Tedley 2nd I See The Sea 3rd Gouazec

Sawpit Sienna did well to hold on when all out at Taunton last month after looking to make her move early. A 6lb rise in the ratings shouldn't prevent another bold bid from Samuel Drinkwater's mare, but she's likely to be priced accordingly. With that in mind, it may be worth taking a punt on HEURE DE GLOIRE, who shaped encouragingly when fourth at Uttoxeter on Saturday. Ellis Collier now gets to claim a handy 7lb, which should be a huge help to the seven-year-old. Pageant Material also warrants a second look.
Prediction : 1st Heure De Gloire 2nd Sawpit Sienna 3rd Pageant Material

TUNE IN A BOX had little difficulty in defying a 9lb rise in the ratings at Wetherby recently and a 7lb penalty in this contest is effectively negated by Cameron Iles' claim. Tom Lacey's charge is hard to oppose, with a quick turnaround looking the only potential stumbling block. Balkardy has posted a string of runner-up efforts this season and the seven-year-old may have to play second fiddle once more, with Bobo Mac rated next best.
Prediction : 1st Tune In A Box 2nd Balkardy 3rd Bobo Mac

The unexposed PIMLICO POINT has been nudged up just 3lb after finishing an admirable second on his chasing bow over 3m at Exeter in November and, having his second run since wind surgery, this may be the best time to catch him. Regarde rates the main danger for the in-form Jamie Snowden team. He wasn't disgraced when finishing third at Newcastle most recently and off the same mark, he should be able to make his presence felt. Lubeat Foras finds himself in calmer waters than when finishing sixth at Newbury last time and, dropped 5lb in the ratings, he is taken to fill the frame.
Prediction : 1st Pimlico Point 2nd Regarde 3rd Lubeat Foras

This looks to be a good opportunity for the largely consistent CAST'S TASHA to regain the winning thread. Ben Clarke's charge ran with credit when finishing second over an extended 2m5f at Exeter on New Year's Day over hurdles and, upped just 1lb on her chasing bow, she may take some stopping. Penny Mallow should be a lot happier returning to a left-handed course after jumping left at Hereford on her most recent start and she rates the main danger to the selection. Despite her largely inconsistent profile, Lady Tremaine does have some form that would entitle her to at least hit the frame.
Prediction : 1st Casts Tasha 2nd Penny Mallow 3rd Lady Tremaine

GAMBIE TIEP can be keen in his races, which has sometimes been his undoing. However, the gelding has the ability to lead this lot a merry dance if he is on song and, with the drop in trip in his favour, he is readily suggested as the one to be with. Templier is solid at this sort of level and can make sure the selection doesn't have things all his own way, while Boston Joe is also capable of going close back over this distance.
Prediction : 1st Gambie Tiep 2nd Templier 3rd Boston Joe

MUMBLES impressed when scoring by 16 lengths at Chepstow eight days ago and, with further progression expected, he is hard to oppose under a 7lb penalty. Smart Casual has put two solid efforts together and can make a fist of things for Joe Tickle and Micheal Nolan, while Daany arrives in good heart and he cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Mumbles 2nd Smart Casual 3rd Daany
