5th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 110y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Goes well here, gaining fourth course success with a narrow verdict in March (2m3f, soft); beaten 8l behind L'Empire Vert off this 4lb higher mark on his return visit but he was held up in a race that favoured those ridden handier; good chance. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Prevailed from a solid rival in similar event over C&D (soft) last time, taking Ffos Las record to 4-15; should remain competitive despite going back up 4lb. |

16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Gained three of his five chase wins here; must bounce back from a poor performance (over hurdles) in January but was placed here on first two starts this season (2m4f hurdle/2m chase) and has been given a chance by the handicapper. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won over C&D in June (good to soft) and runner-up to Rory's Story in his only subsequent chase start; however, he was very disappointing over hurdles here on Saturday. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Latest chase win on this track (2m1f, good to soft; several wins on good) in June; creditable hurdle run the time before but below best in this sphere subsequently, including over C&D latest; needs revival. |
8/1 |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Six-time chase winner, who won here (2m1f, good to soft) in June and was runner-up back at this track on Saturday; his hurdling defeat at Uttoxeter on penultimate run was in an unsatisfactory race (most flights omitted) and he's not ruled out back in this sphere. |

Not yet fully exposed after only seven starts but was beaten just over 30l in his first two chases, more recently when always towards rear over C&D (good) last month. |

4th Nov 2024 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Offered little over hurdles but he's a well-bred 5yo with low mileage and, although well beaten on his switch to fences at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft), he was well backed; shaped as though the run would bring him on. |

11st 6lb |
Two chase wins wins at 2m1f (good to soft and soft) in early 2024; back on latest winning mark as a result of some lesser efforts, in cheekpieces last twice, but has something to prove at present. |

11st 4lb |
Has a modicum of ability but was pulled up off her lowly mark in a handicap chase two weeks ago and is now 0-23 under rules; swaps usual cheekpieces for first-time blinkers. |

10st 2lb |
Coped with varying conditions when completing a hat-trick last season in 2m chases; this campaign isn't going half as well and this new headgear combination did nothing for him last time. |
