Made every post a winning one at Salisbury in May and was heavily supported in the betting when third at Bath on latest. Oisin Murphy has a terrific strike-rate for Rod Millman this year. Big player.
Well backed when fourth on debut but ran a much better race when runner-up in a 7f Salisbury novice on latest, pulling nicely clear of the third. Can make it third time lucky.
Won this corresponding race last year is now just 1lb higher. Finished a close-up third of four in a C&D handicap last week and this probably has been the big target.
Won twice on the AW during the winter over the mile and has been in fine form on turf of late, runner-up at this track over 1m before a 7f AW third at Lingfield on latest. Oisin Murphy has a terrific return for the yard this year.
Son of Sea The Stars cost a hefty 485,000 guineas as a yearling. His dam is a half-sister to the high-class Cannock Chase and British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes/Irish Oaks winner Star Catcher. Won’t have to be special to land this on debut.
Winless in Ireland but made giant strides on her second start for this stable when comfortably landing a handicap here in June. Up 7lb but the form has received a boost and the extra half furlong is grand.
Low mileage 4yo who has progressed for this yard with a fine runner-up here at this course over 1m2f three weeks ago, a big eyecatcher as she failed to get a clear run. Can make amends.

Built on the site of an old open cast coal mine near Llanelli in South Wales, Ffos Las racecourse is one of three courses in Wales. Only opened in 2009, it is the most modern National Hunt course in the UK. It now hosts a number of both Flat and National Hunt meetings each year.
Course: The course for both jumps and flat races is a one mile, four furlong left handed oval, with two relatively easy bends. A chute on the home straight allows for a straight run in for five and six furlong races. Our Ffos Las tips tend to look for galloping types, as the nature of the course allows them time to get into stride and maintain their speed round the bends.
In the past, Ffos Las was perhaps most famous for it’s boggy going, with heavy rain leading to extremely tough going. The West Wales National in 2015 saw just two of ten horses finish, with the winner (Bob’s Ford) finishing a full 99 lengths clear of the only other finisher, who was nearly pulled up. Drainage work in 2015 has largely fixed this issue, although following extreme weather it can still become very heavy.
Draw Bias: The wide, flat track both contribute to a fair course meaning no draw bias for our tips to consider.
Feature Race: The main race of the year is the grandly named “Welsh Champion Hurdle”, run over two miles in October. Previously removed from the horse racing calendar in 2003 due to a lack of entries, Ffos Las revived the race as a Limited Handicap before a temporary attempt at increasing the distance.
Recent winners include Cheltenham Festival stalwart The New One and the well known Garde La Victoire, winner of multiple Class 1 races.
