UK Horse Racing Tips: Ffos Las

Innisfree Lass was a facile winner on her latest outing over 3m at Southwell last time and she makes appeal on her first chase start, but slight preference is for ALFIE'S PRINCESS. Sam Thomas' charge runs off the same mark as when second over timber at Newbury in March and on her first start over the larger obstacles, she can go one better. Smiling Getaway is next best.
Prediction : 1st Alfies Princess 2nd Innisfree Lass 3rd Smiling Getaway

WICKED THOUGHTS has shown plenty of ability in his three starts under Rules to date and he can get off the mark at the first time of asking over obstacles on his seasonal reappearance. Plenty of improvement can be expected from Paul Nicholls' runner and he makes most appeal. Rosscahill appears to be an interesting recruit for the Nigel Twiston-Davies team after his point-to-point success last year and he is considered, while Neo King is fancied to follow them home.
Prediction : 1st Wicked Thoughts 2nd Rosscahill 3rd Neo King

MOVEIT LIKE MINNIE got off the mark at the first attempt over larger obstacles when scoring at Stratford last month and he can put that experience to good use. Asta La Pasta had been progressing nicely last season over hurdles before struggling to land a blow in Grade 3 company, and he makes plenty of appeal, while Ito Ditto heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Moveit Like Minnie 2nd Asta La Pasta 3rd Ito Ditto

Sam Thomas has two interesting representatives in the Dovecote winner Lump Sum and STEEL ALLY, with preference for the latter. The six-year-old posted a solid third in the Novices' Championship Final at Sandown in April and he looks just the type to keep improving. Pembroke's novice chase campaign last season didn't end up as forecast, but he shouldn't be underestimated operating off a lower mark over hurdles.
Prediction : 1st Steel Ally 2nd Lump Sum 3rd Pembroke

At first glance a 10lb hike appears to be on the harsh side for I'M ON MY WAY following her narrow victory at Southwell in March but, with the second and third undefeated in three subsequent outings, Neil Mulholland's mare looks capable of following up. The selection's stablemate Abbeyhill was also on an upward trajectory last season and it will be interesting to see how the seven-year-old compares in the market. Lady Harriett and Shesupincourt are also noted.
Prediction : 1st Im On My Way 2nd Abbeyhill 3rd Lady Harriett

JOHNNY MAC is a chaser on the upgrade having won all three starts since joining Matt Sheppard's yard. He defied a 10lb rise when beating a subsequent dual winner at Leicester in January and the nine-year-old can continue winning ways having gone well fresh in the past. Supposedtobe produced a late rally to take third at Fontwell last month and has a shout off the same mark in this lower grade, while Hokelami is worth a second glance on his reappearance.
Prediction : 1st Johnny Mac 2nd Supposedtobe 3rd Hokelami

TAMARIND BAY showed enough to suggest he can win a bumper at this level when finishing runner-up at Kempton on his racecourse debut. The four-year-old has switched yards since disappointing at the same track in March and a bold bid is anticipated. Desert Halo is another likely improver based on last year's second at Ballinrobe, while Kate Of The Lodge won an Irish point-to-point in good style and debuts under Rules with a shout.
Prediction : 1st Tamarind Bay 2nd Desert Halo 3rd Kate Of The Lodge
