Tuesday promises a packed schedule of racing, with events taking place at Ffos Las, Wolverhampton and Yarmouth, all broadcast live on Sky Sports Racing. The first race of the day at Ffos Las will be the South West Rail Solutions Ltd Novices' Hurdle, featuring a twelve‑horse field that will line up at the starting line.
Among the runners, Nicky Henderson has entered Crystal Island, a horse that made an impressive debut for the stable at Ascot in December. The colt remains unbeaten under racing rules and will be looking to add another victory to his flawless record.
Henderson will be hoping the familiar conditions at Ffos Las will allow the young horse to continue his upward trajectory. Also in the lineup is Uptown Dandy, partnered with Ben Pauling and Ben Jones.
The six‑year‑old has a strong record over the course and distance, having finished in the top three in six of his seven career starts. With such consistency, bettors can expect another solid performance from this proven contender. Kings Champion, who was odds‑on favourite in his last outing in February but faded after a strong early run, returns on firmer ground.
Trainer Olly Murphy believes the change in surface and a 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 his second start for trainer Rebecca Curtis. The penultimate race of the day will be held at Yarmouth and is the AKS Skip Hire Services Handicap over seven furlongs. The field features twelve horses, each looking to make an impact on the flat track.
Philanthropist, trained by James Fanshawe, is an intriguing prospect. After a series of lackluster runs, the four‑year‑old has been dropped back to his last winning distance and will be wearing cheekpieces for the first time. Fanshawe hopes the equipment change will sharpen the horse’s focus and deliver a much‑needed win. James Keane’s five‑year‑old Miletus has been a near‑miss specialist, finishing second on several recent occasions.
A first‑time hood will be added today in an attempt to push the horse beyond the runner‑up spot and secure a victory. Dashing Dick, owned by William Stone, enjoyed a successful finish to last season, winning at Newmarket as the favourite. The eight‑year‑old will step back up to seven furlongs at Yarmouth in pursuit of a sixth career win. Gorgeous Mr George, a three‑time winner at the course, will start his 2026 campaign over a familiar trip that has produced two wins previously.
However, Dylan Cunha’s four‑year‑old has yet to win when carrying a rating in the 70s, making this a test of class and stamina. Additional runners to watch include Kevin Frost’s Documenting, Jack Jones’s Rogue Allegiance, and Harry Davies’s Shimmering Spin, the latter also wearing cheek‑pieces for the first time. Fans can stay up‑to‑date with the latest racing news, interviews and feature stories on their mobile devices, ensuring they never miss a moment of the action. At Wolverhampton, seven horses will contest the Get Raceday Ready Handicap over the minimum distance.
Tony Carroll’s Midnight Call will look to build on recent good form and add another win to his record. A daughter of the celebrated sprinter Caravaggio has been in fine form, winning five of her last eight starts, including three victories at Wolverhampton over the same distance.
The five‑year‑old mare now faces a career‑high rating, a challenge that will test her speed and resilience. Previous winner Shalaa Asker, who has enjoyed a strong winter campaign with multiple wins and placings, will be ridden again by Rob Hornby, who returns to the saddle for this race. Kevin Philippart De Foy’s Binadham is another horse to watch.
After finishing sixth in the Norfolk Stakes as a two‑year‑old and placing 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. Other entries include Em Four for Saffie, ridden by Jamie Osborne, and Diomed Spirit for trainer Stuart Williams, both of which could provide surprise results. The day's schedule continues with a series of featured races across the venues.
At 2:05 pm, Compiegne will host the Group Three Prix Hopper, a seven‑horse field competing in a high‑stakes contest. At 2:35 pm, Yarmouth will see Brilliant Star and Fanciulla Del West battle in the Novice Stakes. At 3:10 pm, Pantile’s Gift aims to overcome a weight penalty and secure back‑to‑back victories at Yarmouth. Later, at 3:50 pm, Compiegne’s Listed Prix du Mont Dore will feature Olympic Story and Hamandio in a competitive listed race.
The 4:20 pm slot at Yarmouth will showcase Eightthreeone, who is looking to add another win to his recent successes. Following that, at 6:30 pm, Wolverhampton’s Consistent Beaune will chase another all‑weather win. At 6:42 pm, Ffos Las will host a showdown between Martalmix'jac and Esperti, while the 7:00 pm race at Wolverhampton will see Star Marian attempt to preserve a flawless 2026 record.
Finally, at 7:12 pm, Ffos Las will feature Largy Panic, who is aiming to replicate his Kempton triumph for trainer Ben Clarke. Overall, the card offers a blend of seasoned campaigners, rising stars and horses returning to familiar conditions, promising an exciting day for racing enthusiasts across the United Kingdom.
