UK Horse Racing Tips: Ffos Las

Kiss My Face bounced back to form with a good second over the extended 3m at Haydock earlier in the month and he has strong claims on that form. However, a 2lb rise and a drop in trip may not be ideal for him, so the vote goes to HOSTILE HOTELIER. The selection won over a similar distance at Southwell in March and he confirmed his well-being with a placed effort over further at Newcastle last month. Awesome Foursome has slipped back to a feasible mark and warrants respect.
Prediction : 1st Hostile Hotelier 2nd Kiss My Face 3rd Awesome Foursome

JALISCO STAR posted a career-best effort when scoring over the extended 3m at Ascot last month and she looks to have been found a good opportunity to follow up off a 4lb higher mark. Flintara was in good form when last seen in the spring and a 2lb pull in the weights makes her dangerous on her reappearance, while Followango may be a threat if improving for the step up in trip.
Prediction : 1st Jalisco Star 2nd Flintara 3rd Followango

BLUE LAS was 2-3 in bumpers and looked like she was going to justify the market support on her hurdling debut over 2m4f here last month, but she ran out of gas close home and had to settle for the silver medal. The combination of that experience and a drop in trip can see her gain compensation, possibly at the main expense of Audacious Annie. The latter showed signs of promise in bumpers and makes her hurdling debut for a yard amongst the winners of late, so she looks a bigger threat than Lagertha and Solid Silver.
Prediction : 1st Blue Las 2nd Audacious Annie 3rd Solid Silver

Although unable to justify favouritism on his seasonal debut over an extended 2m7f at Lingfield recently, HAUT FOLIN lost little in defeat when finishing a staying-on second. Venetia Williams' charge is due to go up 2lb in future races and this trip should really suit the seven-year-old. The Scorpion King arrives on the back of a victory in a 13-runner affair at this venue and a 5lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another bold bid, while Mumbles is a potential improver.
Prediction : 1st Haut Folin 2nd The Scorpion King 3rd Mumbles

It will be interesting to see what the market makes of smart chaser Saint Palais on his return from a 643-day layoff, as this is undoubtedly less demanding than when pulled up in the Albert Bartlett at the Cheltenham Festival. ROSSCAHILL looks the most solid proposition after confirming his point-to-point victory with a ready victory on his hurdles bow over 2m6f here in October. Jakar Du Moulin is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Rosscahill 2nd Saint Palais 3rd Jakar Du Moulin

LEADER IN THE PARK may have been beaten a long way on his chase debut at Cheltenham last month, but he travelled well up until two out. Improvement is likely on the back of that and he may be able to strike for his in-form connections, with recent Huntingdon winner Saladins Son looking best placed to chase him home on his first start over the larger obstacles. Hurricane Highway has strong claims too.
Prediction : 1st Leader In The Park 2nd Saladins Son 3rd Hurricane Highway

Related to talented individuals like Kildistart and The Big Breakaway, GILLESPIE has a strong pedigree and he looks the one to be with for leading connections on debut. The booking of Nico de Boinville catches the eye and he gets the vote ahead of My Fortune, who is a half-brother to the stable's Fine Casting, who scored in this sphere. Three Pikes and Wassailing Along should be monitored for market support.
Prediction : 1st Gillespie 2nd My Fortune 3rd Three Pikes
