Crystal Island Returns to Action at Ffos Las

Tuesday's racing schedule is packed, with events at Ffos Las, Wolverhampton, and Yarmouth broadcast live on Sky Sports Racing. The day's action kicks off at Ffos Las with the South West Rail Solutions Ltd Novices' Hurdle, featuring a field of 12. Crystal Island, trained by Nicky Henderson, is set to make his return after an impressive debut at Ascot in December. Uptown Dandy, paired with Ben Pauling and Ben Jones, is also a strong contender, having previously won at Ffos Las. Kings Champion, meanwhile, seeks to bounce back from a disappointing performance in February, with Olly Murphy hoping the switch to better ground and a longer distance will aid the gelding's quest for a second career victory. Other notable entries include Rathkenny, Home Made Hero, and Fairye Forth. At Yarmouth, a competitive field of 12 will contest the AKS Skip Hire Services Handicap over seven furlongs. Philanthropist, trained by James Fanshawe, is an intriguing entry, having been reduced to his last winning mark and debuting with cheekpieces. Miletus, known for his recent string of second-place finishes, will be aided by a first-time hood in his bid for a win. Dashing Dick, an eight-year-old trained by William Stone, aims to secure his sixth career win, while Gorgeous Mr George begins his 2026 campaign over a course and distance where he has previously tasted success twice. The Get Raceday Ready Handicap at Wolverhampton features seven contestants, with Tony Carroll's Midnight Call seeking to extend her good form. The five-year-old mare has recorded five wins from her last eight outings but must now overcome a career-high mark. Shalaa Asker, a previous course and distance winner, has been in good form recently, while Binadham, donning first-time cheekpieces, attempts to secure his first win since his debut. Other notable runners include Em Four, Diomed Spirit, and the consistent Beaune. The day's international racing includes the Group Three Prix Hopper at Compiegne and the Listed Prix du Mont Dore, featuring Olympic Story and Hamandio.
