The racing schedule on Tuesday is packed with action across three venues—Ffos Las, Wolverhampton, and Yarmouth—and will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Racing. The day kicks off at Ffos Las with the South West Rail Solutions Ltd Novices' Hurdle, a contest featuring a twelve‑horse field eager to make an impression. Among the entrants, Nicky Henderson has entered Crystal Island, the promising youngster who debuted impressively at Ascot in December. The colt remains unbeaten under National Hunt rules and will be looking to add another victory to his early record, hoping to confirm that his first outing was no fluke.
Also taking the start is Uptown Dandy, partnered by Ben Pauling and Ben Jones. The six‑year‑old has a strong résumé, having finished inside the first three on six of his seven career starts. His most recent run over the same course and distance was a winning performance, so connections anticipate another bold display. Kings Champion returns after a disappointing run in February, where he faded after a strong early effort in testing conditions.
Now the gelding will face better ground, and jockey Olly Murphy is optimistic that the step up in trip will help secure a second career win. Other notable runners include Rathkenny, Home Made Hero, and Fairye Forth, who is making only his second start for trainer Rebecca Curtis. The second feature of the day comes from Yarmouth, where the AKS Skip Hire Services Handicap over seven furlongs will see another twelve‑horse field line up. Among the contenders, Philanthropist catches the eye.
Trained by James Fanshawe, the four‑year‑old has struggled to reproduce his earlier form, but a drop back to his last winning distance and the addition of cheekpieces for the first time could spark a resurgence. James Keane’s five‑year‑old Miletus has a habit of finishing second in recent outings. A first‑time hood will be used today in the hope that the extra focus will push the horse past the runner‑up barrier and onto the winner’s podium. William Stone’s Dashing Dick enjoyed a successful finish to last season, winning at Newmarket as the favorite.
The eight‑year‑old now steps back up to seven furlongs at Yarmouth, aiming to add a sixth career victory to his tally. Gorgeous Mr George, a three‑time winner at this venue, will start his 2026 campaign over a familiar course and distance. Although Dylan Cunha’s four‑year‑old has already won twice at this track, he has yet to break the 70‑runner‑type barrier, making this a crucial test of his ability.
Other horses to watch include Kevin Frost’s Documenting, Jack Jones’s Rogue Allegiance, and Harry Davies’s Shimmering Spin, who will all be wearing cheekpieces for the first time. The day’s third race takes place at Wolverhampton, where seven runners will contest the Get Raceday Ready Handicap over the minimum distance.
Tony Carroll’s Midnight Call is in good form and will look to add another win to his recent successes. A five‑year‑old mare, the daughter of Caravaggio, has been in fine form, winning five of her last eight starts, including three victories at Wolverhampton over this trip. However, she now faces a career‑high weight after a strong performance a couple of weeks ago, presenting a significant challenge.
Previous winner Shalaa Asker returns after a string of wins and placed finishes this winter. Jockey Rob Hornby will be back in the saddle, hoping to repeat his earlier success. Kevin Philippart De Foy’s Binadham is another intriguing prospect.
The horse finished sixth in the Norfolk Stakes as a two‑year‑old and has placed third in both of his starts at Dunstall Park. Binadham will don cheekpieces for the first time as he seeks his first win since debuting. Additional entries to keep an eye on include Em Four, ridden by Saffie Osborne and Jamie Osborne, and Diomed Spirit under Stuart Williams.
