UK Horse Racing Tips: Ffos Las

GOUKEN's two previous starts have plenty of substance and there could be plenty to come from Ed Walker's progressive colt. High Approval, who sets the standard as far as official ratings go at this stage, is another highly noteworthy contender based on the evidence available. Art Lover and Hypnotised are also potential improvers to bear in mind, especially if the betting speaks in their favour.
Prediction : 1st Gouken 2nd High Approval 3rd Art Lover

FRENCH AFFAIR resumed after being gelded with a resolute effort to win on his nursery debut at Newbury 13 days ago and could be ideally situated to follow up from just 3lb higher. Born Slippy has shaped as if he can pay his way going forward and looks the chief danger to Richard Hannon's improving youngster. Woolisle and Alasrae are other notable contenders now they go handicapping.
Prediction : 1st French Affair 2nd Born Slippy 3rd Woolisle

Diamondsinthesand and THE COLA KID appear to have the best chances on these terms and look the pair to focus on. The former has a good record at this course and was successful in a handicap over C&D on his penultimate start. However, The Cola Kid is a multiple winner over this trip and looks the type to make the most of reverting to classified company. Red Walls and Willingly could be other key players.
Prediction : 1st The Cola Kid 2nd Diamondsinthesand 3rd Red Walls

The Gosdens won this last season and are back for more with the Godolphin-owned Port Of London, although he needs to find plenty of improvement after a below-expectations debut at Windsor. Hunsterson has the necessary stamina after finishing third over further on his Goodwood introduction, running on late, but KLASSLEADER is preferred for the in-form Haggas team. Only beaten a neck when stepped up to this trip at Doncaster, with the front two clear of the rest, a repeat of that may be all he needs.
Prediction : 1st Klassleader 2nd Hunsterson 3rd Port Of London

Zambezi Magic took this prize last year and has a solid chance once more now racing off 2lb lower and after a second here last time out. He has won four times at the track and might prove the biggest danger to the hat-trick seeking OFFIAH'S BOY, who looked value for more than the official half-length margin when supplementing a Bath triumph at Salisbury. Meet Me In Meraki has finished second on his last two starts, but may have to settle for third here.
Prediction : 1st Offiahs Boy 2nd Zambezi Magic 3rd Meet Me In Meraki

Bernard Llewellyn won this last year and seems eager for a repeat having four of the 12 runners, with Mind Hunter possibly the pick after finishing second off this mark over C&D. Sophar Sogood stayed on to win at Catterick but has an added 4lb, and a chance is taken on HICCUPS. Still a maiden after 12 starts, he was left with too much to do in that Catterick race and will hopefully be ridden much nearer to the pace here.
Prediction : 1st Hiccups 2nd Mind Hunter 3rd Sophar Sogood
