Tuesday promises a packed schedule of racing action, with meetings at Ffos Las, Wolverhampton and Yarmouth all being broadcast live on Sky Sports Racing. The day kicks off at Ffos Las with the South West Rail Solutions Ltd Novices' Hurdle, a twelve‑horse contest that should provide plenty of excitement for punters and enthusiasts alike. Among the entries, Nicky Henderson has entered Crystal Island, the promising youngster who impressed on his stable debut at Ascot in December.
The colt remains unbeaten under National Hunt rules and will be aiming to extend that perfect record, hoping to build on the strong performance that marked his first outing. Also featuring is Uptown Dandy, partnered by Ben Pauling and Ben Jones.
The six‑year‑old has shown remarkable consistency, finishing inside the first three on six of his seven career starts. After a successful run over today’s course and distance in his most recent appearance, expectations are high that he will deliver another bold performance. Kings Champion returns after a disappointing run in February, where he faded despite a promising early effort.
Now racing on firmer ground, trainer Olly Murphy believes the step up in distance will suit the gelding and give him a chance to secure a second career victory. Other horses to watch include Rathkenny, Home Made Hero, and Fairye Forth, who is making his second start for trainer Rebecca Curtis. The second meeting of the day moves to Yarmouth for the AKS Skip Hire Services Handicap over seven furlongs.
This race features a competitive field of twelve, each looking to add a win to their records. 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 spark a return to form. Miletus, a five‑year‑old who has habitually finished second in recent outings, will be equipped with a hood for the first time under trainer James Keane.
The aim is to convert those near‑misses into a victory. Dashing Dick, owned by William Stone, capped off last season with a dominant win at Newmarket, where he justified his favoritism. The eight‑year‑old now steps back up to seven furlongs at Yarmouth, targeting a sixth career win. Gorgeous Mr George, a three‑time winner at this course, begins his 2026 campaign over a familiar surface and distance.
Though he has previously triumphed twice here, he has yet to win when carrying a rating in the 70s, a hurdle trainer Dylan Cunha hopes to overcome. Other notable runners include Documenting for Kevin Frost, Rogue Allegiance for Jack Jones, and Shimmering Spin, who will be trying cheekpieces for the first time under jockey Harry Davies. Racing fans can stay up‑to‑date with the latest news, interviews and features on their mobile devices, ensuring they never miss a story from the world of horse racing. At Wolverhampton, the Get Raceday Ready Handicap will feature seven horses over the minimum distance.
Tony Carroll’s Midnight Call is looking to add another win to his recent good form. One of the highlights is a five‑year‑old mare, the daughter of the champion sprinter Caravaggio, who has claimed five victories in her last eight starts, including three at this track and distance. She now faces a career‑high weight after a strong performance a few weeks ago, presenting a true test of her ability. Previous winner Shalaa Asker, who has been in fine form this winter with several wins and placings, will be ridden again by Rob Hornby.
Binadham, trained by Kevin Philippart De Foy, is another horse to watch. He 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 be trying cheekpieces for the first time as he seeks his first win since debuting. Also on the card are Em Four, partnered by Saffie and Jamie Osborne, and Diomed Spirit under Stuart Williams.
The day’s schedule continues with a series of featured races across the three venues. At 2:05 pm, Compiegne hosts the Group Three Prix Hopper with a field of seven. At 2:35 pm, Yarmouth presents the Novice Stakes, starring Brilliant Star and Fanciulla Del West. At 3:10 pm, Pantile’s Gift will attempt to overcome a penalty and secure back‑to‑back victories at Yarmouth.
Later, at 3:50 pm, Compiegne’s Listed Prix du Mont Dore will see Olympic Story and Hamandio compete. At 4:20 pm, Yarmouth’s eight‑three‑one will chase consecutive wins.
The Wolverhampton meeting continues at 6:30 pm with Consistent Beaune targeting another all‑weather success. At 6:42 pm, Ffos Las will stage a clash between Martalmix'jac and Esperti, followed by a 7:00 pm showdown at Wolverhampton where Star Marian aims to preserve a flawless 2026 record. Finally, at 7:12 pm, Ffos Las will feature Largy Panic, who will look to replicate his Kempton victory under jockey Ben Clarke. Overall, the card offers a blend of seasoned campaigners, rising stars, and intriguing equipment changes, promising a day of thrilling racing across three of the UK’s most popular tracks.
