UK Horse Racing Tips: Ffos Las

Having faced some tall assignments over hurdles when under the tutelage of Joseph O'Brien in Ireland, REINA DEL MAR should find these calmer waters much more to her liking. A reproduction of her latest fifth in a 15-runner affair at Leopardstown could prove good enough on her stable debut for Tim Vaughan. The biggest threat may emerge from Do It Like A Dude, who offered something to work with on his third-placed Rules bow at Fontwell last month. Sure To Please looks best of the remaining trio.
Prediction : 1st Reina Del Mar 2nd Do It Like A Dude 3rd Sure To Please

Having justified favouritism at Newton Abbot in April, Puddlesinthepark warrants respect in his follow-up bid. However, a 9lb hike from the assessor demands more from the seven-year-old and he may be worth taking on with stablemate TO BE SURE. The son of Sulamani found only a subsequent winner too strong at Fakenham 45 days ago and an unchanged mark might prove lenient. Mistymal and Unspeakable are others of interest.
Prediction : 1st To Be Sure 2nd Puddlesinthepark 3rd Mistymal

Gavin likely found his follow-up bid at Sedgefield 23 days ago coming too soon and he must enter calculations reverting to the scene of his latest victory. However, it could be worth taking a chance on handicap debutant LINDEN LANE, who posted his best effort to date when runner-up at Newton Abbot last month. An opening mark of 103 looks workable for the five-year-old and a breakthrough victory could be on the horizon. Irish raider Queenie St Clair is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Linden Lane 2nd Gavin 3rd Queenie St Clair

Getuptheyard has to make the shortlist after being caught close home to go under by a head at Uttoxeter, especially as he's due to go up 3lb in the near future. FERRET JEETER showed improved form with a tongue-tie to win by 10 lengths at Fontwell two starts ago and was a short-priced favourite when falling at the second hurdle at the same track last time. He could prove tough to beat with a clear round of jumping, while C&D second Jack's Jury and the long absent Talk Of The Moon are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Ferret Jeeter 2nd Getuptheyard 3rd Jacks Jury

YOU SAY NOTHING ended last season with wins over this trip at Lingfield and Leicester and, boasting a C&D victory off 13lb higher in May 2023, he is fancied to make all to come home in front again. Pittsburg was beaten a length and a half off his current rating at Market Rasen in April and is entitled to get into the mix, while Lady Gwen may improve for her comeback third at Stratford.
Prediction : 1st You Say Nothing 2nd Pittsburg 3rd Lady Gwen

Land Afar has his first start for Daniel Bourne here and, if he can be brought back to the level of his Huntingdon second in January, a mark of 117 gives him every chance. Mohawk Chief remains a maiden over hurdles, but he was only beaten half a length at Market Rasen last time and is interesting on his handicap debut. However, TWIST OF FATECATCH gets the vote. He stayed on well for third on his handicap bow at Worcester and any improvement could see him land the spoils in what looks a slightly easier race.
Prediction : 1st Twist Of Fatecatch 2nd Land Afar 3rd Mohawk Chief
