14:00 – Behind The Lens Media Handicap
Race Details: 5f | Class 6 | Going: 5.9) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | flat
This is not a deep Class 6 by any means, but it is the sort of sharp 5f handicap where track position and early speed will matter plenty. Forever Glamorous brings the most convincing recent profile after a win and a solid placed effort, and she makes obvious appeal back among modest opposition. Little Jaybee has been knocking on the door and looks solid again, while Kodi K is interesting from the inside draw if able to break on terms. The Fixer arrives off a win but that came after a string of poor runs, so backing it up is the question. Call Time and Son Of Astar have bits of back-class on figures, though neither comes here in especially convincing nick. Tricky enough for punters, but the favourite does set the standard.
Top Selections
1. Forever Glamorous – 9/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Gina Mangan | Trainer: Christopher Mason | Form: -23513 | Rating: 64 | Topspeed: 61
Forever Glamorous is the one with the clearest recent momentum and, in a race lacking much depth, that counts for plenty. She got her head in front before following up with another creditable third, and that Topspeed mark of 61 is the best on offer in this field alongside the strongest current form line. Drawn 3, she should be well enough placed to attack a race like this at Ffos Las, and Gina Mangan knows how to get these low-grade sprinters rolling. At 9/4 she is hardly a hidden gem, but she is still the one they all have to beat. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Kodi K – 17/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Liam Wright | Trainer: John Gallagher | Form: 5-0265 | Rating: 62 | Topspeed: 58
Kodi K makes more each-way appeal than most at the prices. The recent form does not leap off the page, but there was that runner-up effort not long ago and his Topspeed figure of 58 says he has the raw pace to get involved in a race of this standard. Stall 1 could be a help if Liam Wright is sharp from the gates and can hold a handy position throughout. He does not look bombproof, but very few in here do, and 17/2 feels fair enough about a 3yo who still has a bit more scope than some of these exposed older sprinters. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Forever Glamorous is the straightforward win play because she brings the strongest recent form and the best speed credentials into an ordinary contest. For an each-way punt, Kodi K looks the value from the inside draw at 17/2. Little Jaybee is the obvious danger after a string of respectable efforts, while The Fixer has to prove that last-time win was not a one-off.

14:35 – Golwg Gwendraeth Handicap
Race Details: 7f | Class 5 | Going: 5.9) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | flat
This is a pretty interesting 7f handicap for the grade, with a mix of battle-hardened older handicappers and a few 3yos who may still have a bit more to give. The Stone Power heads the market after getting off the mark last time and, from stall 2, looks well placed to follow up if that latest effort proves the start of something. Santiago Boy has been knocking on the door and doesn’t look far away either, while Lerwick arrives on the back of a win and is clearly in the argument despite a likely tougher task off this mark. Bella Bisbee and Cypriot Diaspora are solid enough yardsticks, but this feels the sort of race where a progressive profile could be worth siding with rather than the exposed types. Tricky, but not impossible to solve.
Top Selections
1. The Stone Power – 11/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Rhys Clutterbuck | Trainer: Ralph Beckett | Form: -374P1 | Rating: 83 | Topspeed: 37
You can forgive the blip in his previous run because he put things right in the best possible way when winning last time, and that was the effort of a 3yo beginning to understand the job. Ralph Beckett’s runners in this sort of late-summer handicap are always worth respecting, and The Stone Power has the look of one who could still be ahead of his mark. Stall 2 should help in a race where track position may matter, and he gets in here carrying 135. At 11/4 he is hardly hiding from the assessor or the market, but he still makes plenty of appeal as the most likely winner if building on that breakthrough success. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Mountain Of Light – 7/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Stevie Donohoe | Trainer: James Horton | Form: 782 | Rating: 82 | Topspeed: 40
Mountain Of Light is the one at a slightly bigger price who makes plenty of each-way sense. He has only had three runs, and the form figures suggest a horse learning on the job and moving the right way, with that latest second indicating he is ready to be competitive now pitched into handicap company. There is always a slight concern from stall 10 over 7f here, but unexposed 3yos can often overcome awkward berths if they are well treated, and James Horton’s runner may yet have more to offer than an opening mark of 82. At 7/1 he looks the value alternative to the obvious ones, especially if he gets a smooth early position. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
The Stone Power is the win play because he has the strongest progressive angle and already looks effective from this sort of mark. For an each-way punt, Mountain Of Light appeals as the unexposed runner who could easily take another step forward. Santiago Boy is the obvious danger after a pair of seconds, while Lerwick is respected now back in form.

15:10 – Dandara Homes Maiden Fillies’ Stakes (GBB Race)
Race Details: 1m | Class 4 | Going: 5.9) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a tight little maiden on paper rather than a deep one, with the market understandably revolving around Withtearsinmyeyes, Sydney Rock and Graniteville. The Channon filly has done little wrong in four starts, finishing placed on each of her last four outings, and sets the standard on official figures. Sydney Rock arrives on the back of consecutive seconds and has the best Topspeed figure in the field, so she is an obvious threat if reproducing that level. Graniteville is not straightforward to weigh up but her mark says she is in the argument. The other pair need sharp improvement, though Zupa Trupa is at least open to it after just one run. In a five-runner race, tactical positioning could easily prove decisive.
Top Selections
1. Withtearsinmyeyes – 11/10 with Bet365
Jockey: David Probert | Trainer: Jack Channon | Form: 2232 | Rating: 93 | Topspeed: 65
She is hardly hiding from the assessor now, but Withtearsinmyeyes has the most persuasive body of form in the race and looks the one they all have to beat. Four runs have brought figures of 2, 2, 3 and 2, which tells you she is solid, straightforward and running to a reliable level. That 93 rating is the best on offer here and, while she is no bargain at around 11/10, she does not need to improve much more to land a maiden of this nature. David Probert is a sensible booking for a race that may turn tactical, and if she gets a clean run from stall 1 she should finally get her head in front. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
Betting Strategy
In a five-runner race there is no each-way angle worth forcing, so keep it simple and side with Withtearsinmyeyes for the win. She brings the strongest, most consistent form and sets the standard on ratings. Sydney Rock looks the main danger after back-to-back seconds, while Graniteville is the one who could nick a place if the principals underperform.

15:45 – Thomas Arms Llanelli Classified Stakes
Race Details: 1m | Class 6 | Going: 5.9) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | flat
This is the sort of low-grade mile where solid recent form counts for plenty and there is no hiding place for those arriving out of nick. Castlekeely and King Of The Dance head the market for obvious reasons, while Dinah Myte brings the strongest topspeed figure and a handy inside draw. Alice’s Influence has been knocking on the door in similar company and gets weight as a 3yo, so she is firmly in the mix as well. Plenty of these have had their chances, though, and that makes it a race where attitude could be as important as raw ability. It is not a deep contest by any means, but there are enough plausible ones to make it a mildly tricky puzzle rather than a penalty kick for the favourite.
Top Selections
1. Castlekeely – 7/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Kieran O’Neill | Trainer: James Owen | Form: -08702 | Rating: 60 | Topspeed: 37
Castlekeely makes plenty of appeal on the back of that improved second last time, which suggested he is starting to get the hang of this level after a few ordinary efforts earlier in the campaign. He is one of the younger, less exposed runners in a race full of exposed handicappers and classified regulars, and that counts for plenty in a contest like this. James Owen’s runner is effectively on the same mark as Alice’s Influence but looks to arrive with a little more upside, while Kieran O’Neill is the type you want in a tactical mile at Ffos Las. At 7/2, he is not missed by the market, but he still sets the standard.
Bet: WIN
2. Dinah Myte – 6/1 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Dylan Hogan | Trainer: John Gallagher | Form: 614236 | Rating: 61 | Topspeed: 54
Dinah Myte looks the each-way value if you are playing against the favourite. Her recent form stack reads well enough for this grade, and that topspeed figure of 54 is the best on offer here, which immediately catches the eye in such modest company. Stall 1 could also be a help if Dylan Hogan can hold a handy pitch and keep things simple. She has been winning and placing in the right sort of races without quite putting one to bed recently, but this is no stronger than what she has been contesting. Available at 6/1, she makes a fair bit of each-way appeal in a race where plenty have questions to answer.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Castlekeely is the win play after shaping like one ready to capitalise in this grade, and he looks the percentage call. Dinah Myte is the each-way alternative at a backable price, especially with her figures and draw both in her favour. The obvious dangers are King Of The Dance, who is solid rather than spectacular, and Alice’s Influence, who keeps threatening to get her head in front.

16:20 – K P Tyres Handicap
Race Details: 1m 2f | Class 6 | Going: 5.9) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a fairly ordinary 3yo Class 6, but that does not make it straightforward. Several arrive in decent enough nick without setting a daunting standard, headed by the consistent Sunshine And Roses, the lightly-raced Grindleton and last-time-out winner Give Me Sun. Lc Tiffen also comes here off a win, though that was achieved in lesser company and now needs backing up. The pace angle is not completely obvious, so track position and how strongly they see out this 1m2f could prove decisive. Grindleton’s latest second reads well in the context of this race and he still looks capable of winning a modest handicap, while Thai Princess appeals as the sort who could outrun her price again from a handy low draw. Tricky, yes, but not impossible to solve.
Top Selections
1. Grindleton – 4/1 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Ebrahim Nader | Trainer: Daniel & Claire Kubler | Form: 3-4282 | Rating: 69 | Topspeed: 64
Grindleton makes plenty of appeal in a race where exposed types do not leave much room for enthusiasm. He has been knocking on the door, and that latest second suggests he is ready to cash in at this level. His Topspeed figure of 64 is the best in the field, which matters in a race lacking depth, and a mark of 69 still looks workable rather than punitive. The draw in 10 is not ideal, but if he gets any cover and settles, he should be finishing stronger than most. At 4/1 with Paddy Power, he looks the percentage call in a contest where solid recent form may be enough. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Thai Princess – 10/1 with Betfair
Jockey: Finley Marsh | Trainer: Adrian Wintle | Form: 46453 | Rating: 65 | Topspeed: 55
Thai Princess is not obviously thrown in, but she has the look of a sound each-way play in a race of this nature. Her recent form figures are respectable without being flashy, and she has been shaping as though a race like this is within reach. The low draw in 3 could help her hold a good position around here, and in these small-margin Class 6 handicaps that can count for plenty. She does not need to improve a stone to make the frame, only to hold her form, and 10/1 with Betfair feels a bit big given how many of these have questions attached. She is the type to keep on when others have cried enough. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Grindleton is the main play and looks the safest WIN bet on the back of his recent second and the strongest speed figure in the field. For an EACH-WAY option, Thai Princess appeals at a double-figure price from a good draw in a race lacking depth. The obvious dangers are Sunshine And Roses, who is admirably consistent, and Give Me Sun, who arrives on the back of a win.

16:55 – Noah’s Ark Christmas Party Race Day Handicap
Race Details: 1m 3f | Class 5 | Going: 5.9) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a competitive little Class 5 rather than a deep one, with several arriving in decent nick and not much between them on official figures. Crackergee and Robusto head the market after recent wins, while Flightofthephoenix also comes here on the back of a breakthrough success and is open to a bit more progress at this trip. Raintown brings the strongest topspeed figure in the field and has been knocking on the door, so he is not easily dismissed either. The interesting angle may be whether proven recent consistency beats the less exposed types. In a race where plenty have a case, track position and who settles best over this 1m3f could easily prove decisive. Tricky enough, but not impossible to solve.
Top Selections
1. Flightofthephoenix – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Finley Marsh | Trainer: Charles Hills | Form: 3-7721 | Rating: 79 | Topspeed: 59
He makes plenty of appeal as a progressive 4yo who finally got his head in front last time and may not be done yet. That recent form string suggests he has been building towards a win rather than stumbling into one, and a mark of 79 still looks workable in this grade. Charles Hills does well with these middle-distance handicappers when they start finding their feet, and Finley Marsh is a positive booking for a horse who should get a handy position from stall 2. At 4/1, he looks the solid answer in a race full of plausible alternatives rather than standout performers. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Raintown – 9/1 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Taylor Fisher | Trainer: J S Moore | Form: 342312 | Rating: 80 | Topspeed: 73
If you want one at a price, Raintown is the obvious each-way play. He has been admirably consistent, his recent 342312 sequence reads well in the context of this race, and that field-high topspeed figure of 73 says he has the raw ability to go very close if things fall right. He was beaten only last time after winning the run before, so there is no question about current wellbeing. J S Moore’s runner is battle-hardened and, in an 8-runner race with three places on offer, 9/1 feels a touch dismissive for one bringing this level of reliability. He looks the value each-way punt.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Flightofthephoenix is the win play because he still has upside and arrives here off the back of a deserved success. Raintown is the each-way option at the bigger price, with his consistency and strong topspeed making him very easy to like for a place at least. Crackergee and Robusto are obvious dangers, but neither looks especially generous in the market.
