15:37 – Faucets The Bathroom Specialists Maiden Fillies’ Stakes (GBB Race)
Race Details: 6f | Class 4 | Going: 5.8) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | flat
This is only a five-runner maiden, but it revolves around a couple with proper credentials rather than being a complete guessing game. Eskimo Pie sets the standard on what she has achieved so far, bringing the best rating in the field and a fair bit more experience than most of these. The obvious threat is Mystic Veil, an Archie Watson newcomer who has attracted support and comes from a yard more than capable of readying one first time. Mollstar has shown enough in four runs to think she can be competitive after a break, but she does need to improve plenty to trouble the favourite. Dixie Blue and Livvys Edge look to have more to prove. In truth, this looks a modest little Class 4 and the market leader is hard to get away from.
Top Selections
1. Eskimo Pie – 8/13 with Bet365
Jockey: Daniel Muscutt | Trainer: Jane Chapple-Hyam | Form: 8-3645 | Rating: 90 | Topspeed: 44
Eskimo Pie is the one with the solid body of form and, in a race where two arrive with no form at all and the others have shown only limited ability, that counts for plenty. Her mark of 90 puts her clear on the figures and she has been holding her own in stronger company than this without quite getting her head in front. Dropping into a five-runner Ffos Las maiden could be the opportunity she has been waiting for. Daniel Muscutt is a positive booking and, while 8/13 is hardly a gift, she looks the likeliest winner by some way if reproducing her established level. Bet: WIN
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple in a race this small: Eskimo Pie is the win bet and the only one worth siding with seriously. There is no each-way angle in a five-runner field. Mystic Veil is the obvious danger if the market confidence proves justified on debut, while Mollstar could nick second if returning in good order.

16:07 – Birthday Boy Leighton Happy 80th Handicap
Race Details: 5f | Class 6 | Going: 5.8) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a proper sharp 5f handicap rather than a race packed with hidden quality, and the market has understandably centred on The Coffee Pod after a better latest effort. He sets the standard on recent figures, but he is hardly bombproof and this is the sort of Ffos Las sprint where track position and getting the fractions right can make all the difference. Dark Sun brings solid, repeatable handicap form and should be in the firing line again, while River Edge is dangerously well treated from the foot of the weights if able to turn a run of respectable efforts into something more decisive. The 3yos Miracleoftheandes and Portacloy are not out of it either, but this still feels a slightly trappy Class 6 rather than a race to get too cute in.
Top Selections
1. The Coffee Pod – 2/1 with Betfair
Jockey: Ryan Kavanagh | Trainer: William Muir & Chris Grassick | Form: 8-8753 | Rating: 71 | Topspeed: 65
The Coffee Pod is the percentage call. His latest third was his most encouraging run for a while and, in a race lacking depth, that piece of form gives him strong claims despite top weight. A mark of 71 is workable at this level and his Topspeed figure of 65 is the best on offer here, which matters in a low-grade dash where raw 5f pace often settles things. Draw 8 is not ideal if they split, but if Ryan Kavanagh can get him into a rhythm early he should be the one they all have to pass. At 2/1 he is no giveaway, but he is still hard to oppose.
Bet: WIN
2. River Edge – 6/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Gina Mangan | Trainer: Christopher Mason | Form: 52/344 | Rating: 69 | Topspeed: 58
River Edge appeals as the each-way play because he keeps running well enough to suggest his turn is near, and he gets in here with just 120. Those recent placed efforts have come without everything falling perfectly, yet he has remained competitive from this sort of mark and there is enough early pace in the race to give him a tow into it. Gina Mangan knows how to deliver one late in these sprints and this looks the type of contest where a light weight can become a major asset in the final furlong. Available at 6/1, he looks the value alternative to the favourite.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
The straightforward play is The Coffee Pod to win, as he has the best recent piece of form and the strongest speed figure in the field. For a bit of insurance, River Edge makes plenty of appeal as an each-way punt off a feather weight. Dark Sun is the obvious danger if reproducing his usual honest level, while Miracleoftheandes is not one to dismiss lightly in a race lacking depth.

16:37 – Meyer Timber EBF Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)
Race Details: 7f | Class 3 | Going: 5.8) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a fairly compact but informative 2yo maiden, and the market has probably got the main trio right. Narrjoo sets the standard on figures after finishing second and posting a lofty 87 rating for this level, while Drum Bay also shaped with plenty of promise when runner-up on debut for Ralph Beckett. Isabella De Vega is the filly in the line-up and receives 5lb, having already shown ability with a third on her first start. The rest are either newcomers, notably Engraved and World Star, or have plenty to find on what they’ve shown so far, with Q T Boy looking up against it. In truth, this isn’t an impossible puzzle, but it does revolve around whether Narrjoo simply confirms his obvious form edge.
Top Selections
1. Narrjoo – 11/10 with Bet365
Jockey: Jack Callan | Trainer: Simon & Ed Crisford | Form: 2 | Rating: 87 | Topspeed: 73
Narrjoo brings the standout piece of form into the race and is going to take some pegging back if reproducing it. That 87 rating is well clear of the opposition, and a Topspeed of 73 backs up the visual impression that there was substance to his debut second rather than it being a hollow piece of form. Drawn in stall 1, he should be able to get a handy position, and the Crisford yard is more than capable of placing one to good effect second time up. At around 11/10, he’s no giveaway, but he does look the most solid proposition in a race where several rivals still have plenty to prove. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Isabella De Vega – 10/3 with Bet365
Jockey: George Downing | Trainer: Ed Walker | Form: 3 | Rating: 69 | Topspeed: 39
Isabella De Vega makes each-way appeal in a seven-runner race because she’s already shown enough to think there’s more to come, and the 5lb allowance against the colts is no bad thing either. Her debut third was a respectable start without screaming finished article, which is often exactly what you want from an Ed Walker juvenile likely to improve for experience and this extra test at 7f. She does need to bridge a gap on raw ratings with Narrjoo, but she’s entitled to step forward and the market hasn’t missed her at 10/3. In a race lacking depth beyond the principals, she looks the sensible each-way punt.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Narrjoo is the win bet because his debut second sets the clearest standard and his rating gives him a definite edge. Isabella De Vega is the each-way alternative in a race where the places look very reachable if she improves as expected from first to second start. Drum Bay is the obvious danger after his own promising runner-up effort, while Engraved is the newcomer to note if the market speaks warmly.

17:10 – Dandara Homes Handicap
Race Details: 1m | Class 6 | Going: 5.8) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | flat
This is a fairly ordinary Class 6 mile, but that does not make it straightforward. A few arrive with something to recommend them, notably King Of The Dance, who has been knocking on the door in similar company, and Ivat Ghia, a 3yo who could still have a bit more to offer after shaping well on his handicap debut. Nammos is consistent enough without looking bombproof from stall 10, while Angel’s Call comes here on the back of a win but now has to prove that was not a one-off. There are plenty with patchy profiles, which is typical for the grade, so a good position and a bit of tactical sharpness may decide it. In that sort of race, siding with recent solid form makes most appeal.
Top Selections
1. King Of The Dance – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Donagh Murphy | Trainer: Bernard Llewellyn & Robert Williams | Form: 4452U3 | Rating: 69 | Topspeed: 51
He looks the percentage call in a race where plenty have questions to answer. King Of The Dance has been running well enough in this sort of grade, and his latest third suggested another race of this nature is well within range. The mark of 69 is workable, his recent form reads more solidly than most of these, and he does not need to improve dramatically to go very close. Donagh Murphy takes over for a yard that also saddles Change Of Fortune, and this one simply brings the stronger current profile. At 4/1, he is not a giveaway, but he is the one with the fewest holes in his case. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Ivat Ghia – 6/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Tyler Heard | Trainer: Mark Usher | Form: 8662 | Rating: 64 | Topspeed: 47
Ivat Ghia makes plenty of each-way appeal as one of the less exposed runners in the line-up. The recent second was a step in the right direction and, as a 3yo taking on older handicappers in a modest Class 6, he has more scope than most of these seasoned types. A mark of 64 does not look harsh if he can build on that latest effort, and Tyler Heard is more than capable of delivering him late if they go a fair gallop. He is not the finished article, but at 6/1 he looks a sensible each-way punt in a race where several rivals are thoroughly exposed. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
King Of The Dance is the solid win play given his consistent recent efforts in comparable races. Ivat Ghia is the each-way alternative, with his age and lightly raced profile giving him a bit more upside than most. Nammos and Angel’s Call are the obvious dangers if things fall right, but both look a touch less straightforward than the two against the field.

17:40 – Golwg Gwendraeth ‘Confined’ Handicap (For horses Which Have Not Won A Flat Race In 2026)
Race Details: 1m | Class 5 | Going: 5.8) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | flat
This is a small but quite interesting confined handicap, with the three-year-olds looking to hold the aces against the older Port Louis. John Harrison brings the most solid recent profile after a string of placed efforts, while Royal Bodyguard has the highest mark in the field and shaped well enough last time to suggest he’s still very workable at this level. The Stone Power heads the market for Ralph Beckett, but that latest pulled-up effort leaves a sour taste and he’s not one I’d want to take short odds about. Brave New World is lightly raced and open to improvement, though he has a bit to prove on bare form. It’s not a deep race, but it’s not straightforward either, and the balance between proven handicap form and untapped potential should decide it.
Top Selections
1. John Harrison – 11/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Luke Catton | Trainer: Alan King | Form: 82-433 | Rating: 76 | Topspeed: 66
John Harrison is the percentage call. He has been knocking on the door in handicaps, finishing fourth and then twice third, and that profile is a good deal more reassuring than some of his rivals arrive with here. A mark of 76 looks fair rather than punitive, and his 128lb leaves him nicely treated against horses with similar ratings carrying more weight. Alan King’s runner doesn’t look flashy, but in a race where a few have questions to answer, his consistency counts for plenty. At 11/4 he isn’t a giveaway, yet he still makes the most appeal as the one likeliest to run his race and go very close. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Royal Bodyguard – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Daniel Muscutt | Trainer: Michael Bell | Form: 2-8364 | Rating: 77 | Topspeed: 68
Royal Bodyguard looks the each-way value in a race where the market may lean a little too heavily towards less solid types. He has the best rating in the field at 77, a respectable topspeed figure of 68, and his latest fourth suggested he remains competitive without everything dropping right. Michael Bell’s three-year-old has enough class for this grade and Daniel Muscutt is the sort you want on one in a tactical small-field mile. The slight concern is whether he finds as much as he promises, but 4/1 is fair in the context of this line-up and he has stronger credentials than his price implies. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
John Harrison is the safest win play given his reliable handicap form and handy weight. Royal Bodyguard makes most appeal as the each-way punt with two places on offer, especially if the market stays around 4/1. The Stone Power is the obvious danger on stable strength and earlier form, but he’s opposable at the prices after that last run.

18:10 – Dress For The Occasions Handicap
Race Details: 1m 3f | Class 6 | Going: 5.8) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a tight little Class 6, but not an impossible one to unravel. A Daughters Love is the obvious starting point after winning three of her last five and doing it again last time despite a blip beforehand, and the 3yo gets in here with just 9st 4lb off a mark of 69. She sets the standard on recent winning form. Belle Of Kt arrives chasing a hat-trick and is clearly thriving, while Meet Me In Meraki comes here in better heart than his overall profile suggests after a solid second. Bulldog Spirit is another with place claims if reproducing his latest run. In a six-runner race where tactical pace and position could matter plenty, the younger legs of A Daughters Love make plenty of appeal, though there is enough depth here to make it more than a penalty kick.
Top Selections
1. A Daughters Love – 11/8 with Betfair
Jockey: Darragh Keenan | Trainer: David Flood | Form: 311501 | Rating: 69 | Topspeed: 54
She makes plenty of sense at the head of the market. That form string tells a straightforward story for a progressive 3yo in basement handicaps: three wins from her last five starts, and the latest success suggests she remains ahead of the assessor despite now being on a career-high mark. A Topspeed of 54 is one of the better figures on offer in this field and, crucially, she receives weight all round from the older horses. In a race lacking any lurking unexposed powerhouse, that combination of recent winning habit, low weight and age allowance is hard to ignore. At 11/8 she is no giveaway, but she is still the one they all have to beat. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Meet Me In Meraki – 5/1 with Bet365
Jockey: J F Egan | Trainer: David Evans | Form: 678732 | Rating: 67 | Topspeed: 31
For the each-way angle, Meet Me In Meraki appeals more than a few around him in the market. The bare form figures do not scream certainty, but that latest second was a step back in the right direction and suggested David Evans has him back to something like his best. He is a 5yo who has slipped to a workable mark and, in a race of only six, proven resilience counts for plenty if this turns tactical. J F Egan is a good booking for this sort of contest and 5/1 looks fair enough given he comes here off the back of a genuine piece of placed form. He does not have the upside of the favourite, but he looks the safer alternative for a return. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
A Daughters Love is the win play and the percentage call in a race where she brings the strongest recent profile. For those looking beyond the favourite, Meet Me In Meraki is the each-way punt at a fairer price in a six-runner field with two places on offer. Belle Of Kt is the obvious danger if the hat-trick bid keeps rolling, while Bulldog Spirit is not without place claims.
