UK Horse Racing Tips: Ffos Las

Now that the penny has dropped for WONDERWEASLE after a taking success over C&D last month, there should be more improvement forthcoming and she can follow up off a 3lb higher mark. A consistent sort up until a disappointing performance at Chepstow when upped in grade last time, Followango is capable of being in the shake-up, along with Bert Wilson, who is just 1lb above his last winning mark and fell when still in contention on his latest outing.
Prediction : 1st Wonderweasle 2nd Followango 3rd Bert Wilson

Twice a winner here over hurdles, it is difficult to oppose PILGRIMS KING, who has made a strong start to racing back over fences and did well when rallying late for second in a higher grade at Haydock last month. Peter Bowen's charge is preferred to Out Of Focus, who was an eye-catcher on his chase debut at Hereford when keeping on late for fourth over 2m. Kap Chidley hasn't shown much since finishing second at Uttoxeter last October, though dropping in trip could aid his cause.
Prediction : 1st Pilgrims King 2nd Out Of Focus 3rd Kap Chidley

WIDE TO WEST was one of only two to finish in a gruelling contest at Southwell last month and, as long as he is over those exertions, this looks like an ideal opportunity for the seven-year-old to get off the mark. Grizzly James is one to be interested in despite the recent form of his stable, while Frankie Faulkner cannot be ruled out either if bouncing back to the form that saw him finish an encouraging third at Musselburgh on his penultimate start.
Prediction : 1st Wide To West 2nd Frankie Faulkner 3rd Grizzly James

DENEMETHY impressed when scoring with consummate ease over 1m7f at Wincanton on his first start after wind surgery last month, and it would be no surprise if Fergal O'Brien's charge were to bring up the double. If Panjari returns to the sort of form which saw him run out a comfortable winner over 2m at Musselburgh on his penultimate start, he may emerge as the main danger, but inconsistency continues to be the main concern with him. Dartmoor Pirate completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Denemethy 2nd Panjari 3rd Dartmoor Pirate

MAHLAND has hit the crossbar on his last couple of starts, and he gets the vote to gain a well-deserved victory. Mel Rowley's charge found himself tapped for toe at a crucial stage before staying on into second over an extended 2m5f at Exeter last month and, nudged up 3lb back up to 3m, he edges preference. Better can be expected from Thunderclap, who finished down the field over 2m5f at Kempton in a stronger race than this most recently, while the reapplication of cheekpieces can help Longshanks.
Prediction : 1st Mahland 2nd Thunderclap 3rd Longshanks

Point-to-point winner MULINAS was sent off a warm order when finishing second on his Rules debut at Chepstow and the suspicion is Paul Nicholls' charge wasn't seen to best effect in that tactically-run affair. He gets the vote to go one place better this time around. As Legends Have It should strip fitter for his second in a Stratford bumper last month and can give the selection most to think about for the in-form Ben Pauling team. 37,000-euro purchase Johnny Boy also warrants respect.
Prediction : 1st Mulinas 2nd As Legends Have It 3rd Johnny Boy
