UK Horse Racing Tips: Ffos Las

Klimt Madrik shaped with promise here on his Rules debut and although it wasn't quite enough to claim a place, better can be expected. That said, he already appeared to want further so with a drop in trip not certain to be of benefit, it looks best to side with THERE RUNS MARY. Olly Murphy's mare, a bumper winner at the beginning of the year, is related to the useful She's A Fine Wine so if anything like her sister now sent hurdling, should be hard to beat. Adrian completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st There Runs Mary 2nd Klimt Madrik 3rd Adrian

ESPERTI turned a corner to score over C&D on his final start last season before returning with a good second at Newton Abbot. Perhaps crucially, David Rees' gelding will relish testing conditions and, with the assistance of Sean Bowen, could earn a second chasing triumph. Bebside Banter struggled at Kempton but will be happier back over the larger obstacles, and Try The Money still has few miles on the clock so may have a bit more to offer.
Prediction : 1st Esperti 2nd Bebside Banter 3rd Try The Money

Tamarind Bay sets the standard with an official rating of 113 and can be expected to run his race, but LEGENDARY LUKE shades preference. The point-to-point winner, whose dam is a half-sister to Gold Cup hero Native River, appeared to bump into one at Worcester on his Rules bow. There was no disgrace in finishing second and any improvement now sent over hurdles could be enough. Gee Force Flyer can get the better of Allstitchedup for third.
Prediction : 1st Legendary Luke 2nd Tamarind Bay 3rd Gee Force Flyer

Sparkling Duke makes his first start for the Kayley Woollacott yard and the booking of Sean Bowen catches the eye. However, EL BANDIDO PANCHO was a convincing seven-length victor over track and trip 10 days ago and if in anything like that form, he will prove hard to beat again. Leech kept on for fourth over 2m here last month and is likely to appreciate the step back up in trip.
Prediction : 1st El Bandido Pancho 2nd Sparkling Duke 3rd Leech

Jaipaletemps is bound to attract support after scoring easily over 2m here but a 7lb penalty, along with the step up in distance, might open the door for A GREAT EXCUSE. The five-year-old has shown little in four outings under Rules, but was sent off at big prices and now makes his handicap/chase debut on his first appearance for the Max Comley stable. The application of first-time cheekpieces could also help eke out more. Dj Pete completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st A Great Excuse 2nd Jaipaletemps 3rd Dj Pete

Followango has occupied the runner-up spot in eight of her 15 starts under Rules, most recently over fences at Hereford, and SOMETHINGTOSOMEONE might be the reason she fills that place again. Ben Clarke's mare was last seen taking the silver medal home over 2m4f at this track in March and has undergone a wind operation during her summer break. She should have more to offer on just her second outing in a handicap. Lady Harriett is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Somethingtosomeone 2nd Followango 3rd Lady Harriett
