UK Horse Racing Tips: Ffos Las

OUR BOY STAN backed up the promise he showed when second in a Listed bumper on debut at Cheltenham to score at Kempton when last seen. Ben Pauling's charge is a half-brother to dual Imperial Cup hero Go Dante and it would be no surprise to see him make an instant impression over timber. Livingit Du Large progressed from his first outing over hurdles to strike at Chepstow in January and has to be respected, while Trade War is another to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Our Boy Stan 2nd Livingit Du Large 3rd Trade War

Dwight K Schrute was far from disgraced when third in a novice event over the smaller obstacles at Worcester and is an interesting contender on his chasing bow. Howaya Now finished second over C&D in April and is noted, but IMPATIENT gets the vote. The seven-year-old only found one too good in this grade at Uttoxeter and competes off an unchanged mark. He accounted for Phantom Getaway by four lengths in this contest last year and looks the one to beat again.
Prediction : 1st Impatient 2nd Dwight K Schrute 3rd Howaya Now

Minella Apprentice showed ability when finishing second of three over track and trip and could take a step forward to have a say. However, SOUTHFIELD FINALE picked up the silver medal behind a subsequent dual winner at Newton Abbot in April and is likely to relish this extra distance. With the Anthony Honeyball string in fine order and the potential for more to come on just his second start in this sphere, he could prove hard to beat. Sallyville Lady completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Southfield Finale 2nd Minella Apprentice 3rd Sallyville Lady

Although he must overcome a 543-day absence, BATAILLON was last seen finishing a good second over C&D. The seven-year-old should enjoy softer ground conditions and, off 2lb lower, he may take plenty of stopping if performing to a similar level. Handicap/seasonal debutant Seatoit looks fairly treated on the pick of his efforts and requires close inspection in the market, while Valens Bruyee could be freshened up by a layoff.
Prediction : 1st Bataillon 2nd Seatoit 3rd Valens Bruyee

There was plenty of encouragement to be taken from BOSTON JOE's third-placed reappearance over hurdles here and he ticks plenty of boxes now reverting to chasing. The nine-year-old scored by 20 lengths on his last attempt over C&D and is reunited with winning jockey Ben Jones. The booking of Sean Bowen for King Of Brazil catches the eye and he's a feasible alternative now 7lb below his last winning mark. Falco Des Pins could improve now tackling fences for the first time.
Prediction : 1st Boston Joe 2nd King Of Brazil 3rd Falco Des Pins

BELLS OF UFFORD remains unexposed over timber and finished a decent fourth over 2m at Uttoxeter on last month's return to action. This longer trip will play to his strengths and a bold bid is expected with Sean Bowen doing the steering once again. A winner at Huntingdon in March, Youdecide could shape well for a yard in fine form, while El Bandido Pancho will relish the testing ground on his reappearance.
Prediction : 1st Bells Of Ufford 2nd Youdecide 3rd El Bandido Pancho

Irish point-to-point winner KATIE'S MELODY found only a subsequent hurdles winner too good in a bumper at Tipperary in May. The daughter of Flemensfirth has joined Harry Derham's in-form yard since that promising Rules debut and looks the one to side with on her return. Ledecka is a likely improver with last month's introduction at Uttoxeter under her belt, although newcomer Jollie Dame is a half-sister to a bumper winner and could prove a bigger threat.
Prediction : 1st Katies Melody 2nd Jollie Dame 3rd Ledecka
