UK Horse Racing Tips: Ffos Las

A winner of both starts in bumpers earlier this year, HOLLYGROVE CHA CHA was able to maintain her unbeaten record when sent over hurdles for the first time at Ludlow last month. Jamie Snowden's filly wasn't always foot perfect there but she asserted readily at the business end and natural progress can see her defy the penalty. Jasmine D'airy impressed when winning a Tipperary bumper in May and she's an interesting prospect now in the care of Harry Derham. Followango heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Hollygrove Cha Cha 2nd Jasmine Dairy 3rd Followango

JURANCON bumped into a useful sort when filling the runner-up spot at Worcester in October, before defeating a subsequent winner at Chepstow last month. David Pipe's gelding sets the standard with an official rating of 127 and will be hard to beat. Point winner Rosscahill made the perfect start to his career under Rules when on target over 2m6f here in October. Although he appears to be the main threat, hurdling debutant King Of Thieves should not be underestimated.
Prediction : 1st Jurancon 2nd Rosscahill 3rd King Of Thieves

A few of these arrive with something to prove, but that can't be said for Grove Road, who won at Newton Abbot in July before following up on his return at Huntingdon recently. James Owen could hardly be in better form so he merits respect, but the vote goes to NEO KING. A multiple winner in the pointing scene on testing ground, he has shown signs of ability on both of his hurdle starts under Rules. Pitched into handicaps for the first time and stepped up to 3m, he can find the necessary improvement. Lucky So And So is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Neo King 2nd Grove Road 3rd Lucky So And So

From a competitive rating, OPERA KING could get off the mark on just his fourth run in handicap company. Having failed to fire with a visor added in a deeper race last time out, swapping to cheekpieces may be a source of improvement for the son of Australia, who might represent some value in a wide-open contest. Our Dylan is feared most off 2lb higher than last month's narrow defeat at Hereford. John Betjeman has course experience and is also weighted to go well.
Prediction : 1st Opera King 2nd Our Dylan 3rd John Betjeman

The consistent MUMBLES was on the back of a near eight-month break when he finished second over 2m here last month and the Evan Williams-trained gelding could be a different proposition back up in trip with that run under his belt. Chasing debutant Chosen Hero boasts a similar profile and commands respect after a close third over hurdles at Sedgefield. Brulure Noire is also noteworthy under top-weight.
Prediction : 1st Mumbles 2nd Chosen Hero 3rd Brulure Noire

In a moderate event it is hard to oppose MUTLEY CREW, who took a big step forward when winning on her handicap debut over 2m3f at Fontwell last time. With the likelihood of more to come, a 6lb rise may vastly underestimate Robert Walford's mare. The rest all have questions to answer, but Wot You Wearing and The Cypriot are the pick of them.
Prediction : 1st Mutley Crew 2nd Wot You Wearing 3rd The Cypriot

TWILIGHT GLORY was not disgraced when filling third place on his seasonal return over 3m1f at Warwick last month and he could be hard to beat with the benefit of that outing. Captain Claude was highly progressive last season and has to be of interest, despite the 249-day break. Esperti edges out Fashion's Model to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Twilight Glory 2nd Captain Claude 3rd Esperti
