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 race that will see a twelve‑horse field line up at the start. Among the contenders, Nicky Henderson has entered Crystal Island, the promising youngster who made a striking debut at Ascot in December. That first outing left the colt unbeaten, and Henderson will be eager to see the horse extend that flawless record under National Hunt rules.
Also taking part is Uptown Dandy, partnered by Ben Pauling and Ben Jones. The six‑year‑old has a strong résumé, having placed inside the first three on six of his seven career starts, and his most recent run over the same course and distance was a win.
Expectations are high that he will again produce a bold, front‑running performance. Kings Champion, who failed to live up to his odds‑on favoritism when last seen in February—having travelled well before fading in testing conditions—returns on firmer ground.
Trainer Olly Murphy hopes the change in surface and a step up in trip will help the gelding secure a second career victory. Other horses worth watching at Ffos Las include Rathkenny, Home Made Hero, and Fairye Forth, the latter making his second start for trainer Rebecca Curtis.
The next highlight of the day arrives at Yarmouth, where the AKS Skip Hire Services Handicap over seven furlongs will feature another twelve‑horse field. Among the entries, Philanthropist, trained by James Fanshawe, offers an intriguing story. After a series of lackluster performances, the four‑year‑old is being dropped back to the level at which he last won.
He will also be wearing cheekpieces for the first time, a piece of equipment that could sharpen his focus. Miletus, a five‑year‑old who has been a frequent runner‑up lately, will try to finally break through with the aid of a brand‑new hood, also a first for the horse. William Stone’s Dashing Dick, an eight‑year‑old who ended last season’s campaign by winning at Newmarket as the favorite, steps back up to seven furlongs in pursuit of a sixth career win.
Gorgeous Mr George, a three‑time winner at this course, will launch his 2026 campaign over a familiar trip that has already yielded two victories. However, Dylan Cunha’s four‑year‑old has yet to win when carrying a rating in the 70s, so the race could turn into a test of class versus weight.
Additional entries include Kevin Frost’s Documenting, Jack Jones’s Rogue Allegiance, and Harry Davies’s Shimmering Spin, all of which will be sporting cheekpieces for the first time. The day’s action continues at Wolverhampton with the Get Raceday Ready Handicap over the minimum distance. Seven horses will contest the race, and Tony Carroll’s Midnight Call will look to add another win to a recent run of good form.
The 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. Now she faces a career‑high weight after her recent success, presenting a genuine test of her stamina and speed.
Previous winner Shalaa Asker, who has been on a strong winter run with several wins and placings, will be ridden again by Rob Hornby, who returns to the saddle for this outing. Binadham, trained by Kevin Philippart De Foy, is another horse to watch.
The colt 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 equipped with cheekpieces for the first time as he seeks his first win since debuting.
Also on the card are Em Four for Saffie, partnered by Jamie Osborne, and Diomed Spirit for Stuart Williams. Beyond the three main meetings, the broadcast will feature a series of featured races later in the day. At 2:05 p.m., the Group Three Prix Hopper at Compiegne will see a field of seven horses line up for the feature event. At 2:35 p.m., Yarmouth will host the Novice Stakes, highlighted by Brilliant Star and Fanciulla Del West.
At 3:10 p.m., Pantile’s Gift will attempt to overcome a penalty and secure back‑to‑back victories. At 3:50 p.m., the Listed Prix du Mont Dore at Compiegne will showcase Olympic Story and Hamandio. At 4:20 p.m., Yarmouth’s eight‑three‑one will chase consecutive wins. At 6:30 p.m., Wolverhampton’s Consistent Beaune will aim for another all‑weather success.
At 6:42 p.m., Ffos Las will see Martalmix'jac clash with Esperti. At 7:00 p.m., Star Marian will look to preserve an unbeaten 2026 record at Wolverhampton. Finally, at 7:12 p.m., Largy Panic will attempt to follow up a Kempton victory for trainer Ben Clarke.
