UK Horse Racing Tips: Ffos Las

Having weakened late on when third over 2m4f at Uttoxeter in November, LUD'OR makes plenty of appeal reverting to two miles. Tom Symonds' charge had previously finished second over this trip at Stratford and a breakthrough victory could be in the offing. Hurdles-debutant Juby Ball found only a progressive rival too strong in a bumper at Sandown last season, while Dunskay should also make his mark entering this discipline.
Prediction : 1st Ludor 2nd Juby Ball 3rd Dunskay

Although unable to justify favouritism when second at Chepstow in October, JUVENTUS DE BRION found only a subsequent Grade 2 runner-up too strong that day. Compensation could be on the cards for Dan Skelton's gelding and he ticks plenty of the right boxes. Johnny's Jury, a half-brother to Supreme Hurdle winner Appreciate It, must be monitored in the betting on his racecourse debut. Jasmine Bliss and Tamarind Bay are also noted.
Prediction : 1st Juventus De Brion 2nd Johnnys Jury 3rd Jasmine Bliss

CHERIE D'AM left her short-priced novice chase defeat at Carlisle behind when making all in a Listed event at Warwick last month. Dan Skelton's mare ran out an impressive winner on that occasion and she could take some stopping if dictating the pace once more. Handstands must enter calculations after his Grade 2 victory at Sandown and the six-year-old warrants respect, despite a 5lb penalty. Saint Davy looks the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Cherie Dam 2nd Handstands 3rd Saint Davy

OUR DYLAN readily took care of his nearest rival by over two lengths at Exeter last month and has a 7lb higher rating to contend with. The nine-year-old should have no issues with this extra distance and he looks well placed to complete a double. Dangerous Touch was well beaten into fourth at Warwick in November, but he could be seen in a different light now that he tackles the handicap ranks for the in-form Olly Murphy team. Siberian Star looks best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Our Dylan 2nd Dangerous Touch 3rd Siberian Star

Getaway With You failed to justify short odds when only third at Market Rasen on his most recent start and this drop in trip, along with a 4lb higher rating, makes life tougher. With that in mind, the vote goes to DIAMATISTE, who finished a long way clear of the third when hitting the crossbar at Exeter last time. Kayley Woollacott's six-year-old might only need to reproduce that level of form in order to go one better. Jesuila Des Mottes needs to be monitored in the market on her handicap debut.
Prediction : 1st Diamatiste 2nd Getaway With You 3rd Jesuila Des Mottes

Point-to-point winner ROSSCAHILL kept his unbeaten record intact when powering clear to score at this venue last month. Nigel Twiston-Davies' six-year-old shaped as if this step up in trip could unlock any amount of improvement and can defy his opening mark of 120. One Big Bang looks the main threat after finishing a fair fourth in a warmer event at Cheltenham earlier in the month. Previous C&D scorer Mahland completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Rosscahill 2nd One Big Bang 3rd Mahland

A revelation since joining the Dan Skelton stable last summer, with six wins from seven starts, BEAT BOX continues to go from strength-to-strength and a 10lb rise for his most recent success at Kelso may not be enough to prevent him from going in again. Keep Running bounced back to winning ways with an impressive display from the front at Ludlow in November and he must enter calculations, along with the hat-trick seeking Ostrava Du Berlais.
Prediction : 1st Beat Box 2nd Keep Running 3rd Ostrava Du Berlais

Runner-up on his Rules debut at Bangor-on-Dee in a race that has worked out very well, DOUGLAS HYDE is entitled to improve plenty for that effort. The booking of Harry Cobden catches the eye, and the son of Affinisea can get off the mark. The well-bred newcomer Giantsgrave looks best placed to chase him home for leading connections. The Ben Pauling stable has an excellent record at this track, and Loch Na Keal is another debutant to monitor for market support.
Prediction : 1st Douglas Hyde 2nd Giantsgrave 3rd Loch Na Keal
