Tuesday promises a packed schedule of racing action, with three meetings featured on Sky Sports Racing: Ffos Las, Wolverhampton, and Yarmouth. The day kicks off at Ffos Las with the South West Rail Solutions Ltd Novices' Hurdle, a contest that will see a twelve‑horse field line up at the starting gate. Among the runners, Nicky Henderson has entered Crystal Island, the promising youngster who made a striking debut at Ascot in December. The colt impressed on his first outing under rules, remaining unbeaten, and Henderson will be hoping to build on that early success with another strong performance at Ffos Las.
Also taking part is Uptown Dandy, partnered by Ben Pauling and Ben Jones. The six‑year‑old has proven himself a consistent performer, having placed inside the top three in six of his seven career starts. His most recent run over the same course and distance was a victory, so expectations are high for another bold display. Kings Champion, who failed to live up to his odds‑on favoritism when last seen in February after a promising early pace that faded in testing conditions, returns on firmer ground.
Trainer Olly Murphy is optimistic that the step up in trip will give the gelding the chance to notch his second career win. Other notable entries include Rathkenny, Home Made Hero, and Fairye Forth, the latter making only his second start for trainer Rebecca Curtis.
The second race of the day moves to Yarmouth for the AKS Skip Hire Services Handicap over seven furlongs. This race will feature another twelve‑horse field, with a mix of seasoned campaigners and fresh talent. James Fanshawe’s Philanthropist is an intriguing prospect. After a series of sub‑par performances, the four‑year‑old has been dropped back to his last winning rating and will wear cheekpieces for the first time today, a change that could spark a return to form.
Trainer James Keane will be looking for a breakthrough from Miletus, a five‑year‑old who has been a frequent runner‑up lately. A first‑time hood will be added in an attempt to tip the scales in his favour. William Stone’s Dashing Dick, an eight‑year‑old who ended last season on a high note by winning at Newmarket as the favorite, steps back up to seven furlongs at Yarmouth in pursuit of a sixth career victory. Three‑time Yarmouth winner Gorgeous Mr George begins his 2026 campaign over a course and distance that has already yielded two wins for the four‑year‑old.
However, Dylan Cunha’s runner still has to break his maiden at the 70‑plus rating level. Other horses to watch include Kevin Frost’s Documenting, Jack Jones’s Rogue Allegiance, and Harry Davies’s Shimmering Spin, the latter also donning cheek‑pieces for the first time. The day’s third meeting takes place at Wolverhampton, where seven horses will contest the Get Raceday Ready Handicap over the minimum distance. Tony Carroll’s Midnight Call is looking to add to a string of recent good form.
A daughter of the champion Caravaggio has been in fine form, winning five of her last eight starts, including three victories on this very track and distance. The five‑year‑old mare now faces a career‑high weight after her recent success, making the task more challenging.
Previous winner Shalaa Asker, who has enjoyed a strong winter campaign with multiple wins and placings, returns with Rob Hornby back in the saddle. Kevin Philippart De Foy fields Binadham, a horse that finished sixth in the Norfolk Stakes as a two‑year‑old and has taken third place in both of his starts at Dunstall Park. Binadham will also wear cheek‑pieces for the first time as he seeks his maiden win since debuting.
Other entries worth noting are Em Four, ridden by Saffie Osborne and Jamie Osborne, and Diomed Spirit, trained by Stuart Williams. Beyond the three featured meetings, the card includes several notable races across the UK and France. At 2:05, Compiegne hosts the Group Three Prix Hopper with a seven‑horse field.
At 2:35, Yarmouth presents the Novice Stakes featuring Brilliant Star and Fanciulla Del West. At 3:10, Pantile’s Gift aims to overcome a penalty and secure back‑to‑back wins at Yarmouth. At 3:50, Compiegne’s Listed Prix du Mont Dore showcases Olympic Story and Hamandio. At 4:20, Eightthreeone looks for consecutive victories at Yarmouth.
At 6:30, Consistent Beaune pursues another all‑weather success at Wolverhampton. At 6:42, Martalmix'jac and Esperti lock horns at Ffos Las. At 7:00, Star Marian strives to maintain a flawless 2026 record at Wolverhampton, while at 7:12, Largy Panic seeks to follow up a Kempton win for Ben Clarke at Ffos Las.
