Tuesday promises a packed racing schedule, with action streaming live on Sky Sports Racing from three venues: Ffos Las, Wolverhampton, and Yarmouth. The first feature of the day will be the South West Rail Solutions Ltd Novices' Hurdle at Ffos Las, where a twelve‑horse field will line up at the start. Among the entrants, Nicky Henderson has entered Crystal Island, the colt who made a striking debut at Ascot in December.
He remains unbeaten under rules and will be looking to build on that early promise with another strong performance at his home track. Also taking the gate is Uptown Dandy, partnered with Ben Pauling and Ben Jones.
The six‑year‑old has been remarkably consistent, having finished inside the top three in six of his seven career starts. His most recent run over the same course and distance was a victory, so connections will be hoping for another bold display. Kings Champion returns after a disappointing run in February, where he faded in testing conditions despite a promising early pace.
Now on firmer ground, trainer Olly Murphy believes the step up in trip will give the gelding the chance to notch his 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 field promises a lively contest as the novices test their mettle over the hurdles.
The penultimate race of the day will be at Yarmouth, the AKS Skip Hire Services Handicap over seven furlongs. Philanthropist, trained by James Fanshawe, is an intriguing prospect.
After a series of sub‑par performances, the four‑year‑old has been dropped back to his last winning distance and will be wearing cheekpieces for the first time, adding a fresh tactical element to his race plan. Miletus, a five‑year‑old who has been a consistent runner‑up, will also be trying to convert those near‑misses into a win, aided by a brand‑new hood. William Stone’s Dashing Dick enjoyed a strong finish to last season, winning at Newmarket as the favorite. The eight‑year‑old now steps back up to seven furlongs at Yarmouth, aiming for a sixth career victory.
Meanwhile, three‑time Yarmouth winner Gorgeous Mr George will launch his 2026 campaign over a course and distance where he has already secured two wins, though he has yet to win at a rating in the 70s under trainer Dylan Cunha. Other horses to watch include Kevin Frost’s Documenting, Jack Jones’s Rogue Allegiance, and Harry Davies’s Shimmering Spin, all of which will be trying out cheekpieces for the first time. The day’s program continues with a series of feature races at other venues. At Wolverhampton, seven horses will contest the Get Raceday Ready Handicap over the minimum distance.
Tony Carroll’s Midnight Call is in good form and will be looking to add another win to his recent successes. A daughter of the celebrated Caravaggio has been impressive, winning five of her last eight outings, including three at this track and distance.
The five‑year‑old now faces a career‑high weight after a strong performance a couple of weeks ago. Former course and distance winner Shalaa Asker returns in good form, having compiled several wins and placings this winter. Rob Hornby will be back in the saddle for this seasoned runner.
Binadham, trained by Kevin Philippart De Foy, is another horse to monitor. 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 wearing cheekpieces for the first time as he seeks his first win since debuting. Additional entries include Em Four for Saffie and Jamie Osborne, and Diomed Spirit for Stuart Williams, both of which could provide surprises.
The broadcast will also feature a series of international and domestic highlights. At 2:05, Compiegne will host the Group Three Prix Hopper with a field of seven. At 2:35, Yarmouth’s Novice Stakes will showcase Brilliant Star and Fanciulla Del West.
At 3:10, Pantile’s Gift will attempt to overcome a penalty and secure back‑to‑back victories. Later, Compiegne’s Listed Prix du Mont Dore at 3:50 will see Olympic Story and Hamandio compete.
Yarmouth’s eight‑three‑one will aim for successive wins at 4:20, while Wolverhampton’s Consistent Beaune will chase another All‑Weather triumph at 6:30. The evening will close with a series of sprint contests: Martalmix'jac versus Esperti at 6:42 at Ffos Las, Star Marian attempting to preserve a flawless 2026 record at 7:00 in Wolverhampton, and Largy Panic seeking to replicate his Kempton success for trainer Ben Clarke at 7:12 in Ffos Las.
The card will finish with a feature from Le Mans, rounding out a day of diverse racing action. Fans can stay up to date with the latest racing news, interviews, and in‑depth features through the Sky Sports Racing app, ensuring they never miss a story from the sport they love.
