Tuesday promises a packed racing schedule, featuring action from Ffos Las, Wolverhampton, and Yarmouth, all broadcast live on Sky Sports Racing. The first contest of the day is the South West Rail Solutions Ltd Novices' Hurdle at Ffos Las, where a twelve‑horse field will line up at the start. Among the runners, Nicky Henderson has entered Crystal Island, a young talent who impressed on his stable debut at Ascot in December.
The colt remains unbeaten under the rules and will be looking to build on that early success, hoping to add another victory to his flawless record. Also taking part are Ben Pauling and Ben Jones aboard Uptown Dandy, a six‑year‑old who has shown remarkable consistency.
In seven career starts the gelding has finished inside the top three on six occasions, and his most recent outing over the same course and distance was a win. Expect a bold performance from this reliable contender. Kings Champion returns after a disappointing run in February, where he faded after a promising start in testing conditions.
Now on firmer ground, trainer Olly Murphy hopes the longer trip will suit the gelding and deliver his second career win. Other horses worth watching include Rathkenny, Home Made Hero, and Fairye Forth, who is making his second start for trainer Rebecca Curtis.
The penultimate race of the day takes place at Yarmouth, where a competitive twelve‑horse field will contest the AKS Skip Hire Services Handicap over seven furlongs. James Fanshawe has entered Philanthropist, a four‑year‑old who has been underperforming lately but is now back at his last winning distance. The horse will also wear cheekpieces for the first time, adding a fresh element to his preparation.
Trainer James Keane hopes his five‑year‑old Miletus, who has finished second on several recent occasions, can finally break the pattern with the help of a brand‑new hood. William Stone’s eight‑year‑old Dashing Dick, a proven performer at Newmarket, steps back up to seven furlongs in pursuit of a sixth career victory. Three‑time Yarmouth winner Gorgeous Mr George will open his 2026 campaign over a course and distance where he has already claimed two wins. However, Dylan Cunha’s four‑year‑old has yet to win when carrying a weight in the 70s, so the race could prove a test of his stamina and class.
Other notable entries include Documenting for Kevin Frost, Rogue Allegiance for Jack Jones, and Shimmering Spin, ridden by Harry Davies, all of which will be wearing cheek‑pieces for the first time. Fans can stay up to date with the latest racing news, interviews, and features on their mobile devices, ensuring they never miss a story. At Wolverhampton, seven horses will contest the Get Raceday Ready Handicap over the minimum distance. Tony Carroll’s Midnight Call looks to add to his recent good form.
The mare, a daughter of the celebrated sprinter Caravaggio, has claimed five wins from her last eight outings, including three victories at this track and distance. Now she must overcome a career‑high weight that reflects her recent success. Previous winner Shalaa Asker, who has enjoyed a strong winter campaign with several wins and placings, will be ridden again by Rob Hornby. Binadham, trained by Kevin Philippart De Foy, finished sixth in the Norfolk Stakes as a two‑year‑old and has placed third in both of his starts at Dunstall Park.
He will appear in cheek‑pieces for the first time, aiming for his first win since debuting. Also in the mix are Em Four, partnered with Saffie and Jamie Osborne, and Diomed Spirit, ridden by Stuart Williams. The day's racing card continues with a series of featured contests: at 2.05 pm, Compiegne hosts the Group Three Prix Hopper, a seven‑horse field vying for the feature race. At 2.35 pm, Yarmouth presents the Novice Stakes, highlighted by Brilliant Star and Fanciulla Del West.
At 3.10 pm, Pantile's Gift aims to overcome a penalty and secure back‑to‑back wins at Yarmouth. Later, at 3.50 pm, Compiegne offers the Listed Prix du Mont Dore, where Olympic Story and Hamandio will clash in a listed event. At 4.20 pm, Yarmouth sees Eightthreeone seeking successive victories.
The Wolverhampton meeting continues at 6.30 pm with Consistent Beaune pursuing another all‑weather triumph. At 6.42 pm, Ffos Las features a showdown between Martalmix'jac and Esperti, followed by the 7.00 pm Wolverhampton race where Star Marian aims to preserve a flawless 2026 record. Finally, at 7.12 pm, Ffos Las offers Largy Panic the chance to follow up a Kempton win for trainer Ben Clarke.
Overall, the card offers a blend of seasoned campaigners, emerging talent, and fresh equipment changes that promise an exciting day of racing across three venues.
