The racing schedule for Sunday promises a full day of flat action at Ffos Las, broadcast live on Sky Sports Racing. Among the highlights is a deep field in the Celebrate In Style At The Bridge Novice Stakes, where Romanza will step down a grade under the guidance of Charlie Fellowes. Romanza, a gelding sired by the legendary Frankel, carries a rating of 90 after five runs this season. Although he has yet to break his maiden, his recent form suggests a win is within reach.
In his last Listed outing he was narrowly beaten, demonstrating that he can compete strongly at that level and should be difficult to beat when he returns to a lower class. Also featured is Andrew Balding’s Silent Force, who has only one start to his name—a third-place finish at Newbury last month. Despite the limited record, the horse has been highlighted in the betting markets, and with Callum Hutchinson aboard, he will be a contender to watch. Ghost Raider, another promising runner, has already shown his ability in two solid performances at Kempton and York, making him one of the better prospects among the remaining entries.
In the open Bridge, The Home Of The Carvery Nursery Handicap scheduled for 1:49 p.m., recent winner Rhodes Runner will line up against seven rivals. Rhodes Runner, trained by Ralph Beckett, captured her first victory in a novice race at Chester, doing so with an impressive margin. That win indicates she possesses the class to be competitive in handicap company, and she will be keen to add another win to her record.
Jamie Osborne will ride Blondie Larry, who is making his handicap debut with an official rating of 73. Blondie Larry has placed second in each of his last two starts, and under the experienced hands of William Carver, he looks like a genuine threat to the field. The remaining runners, Naval Cop and Perigold Noir, are considered the best of the rest and will be looking to cause an upset.
Fans are encouraged to stay connected with the latest racing news, interviews, and features on their mobile devices, ensuring they never miss a story from the sport they love. The day also includes a showdown between Campeona and Carthusian in the tricky Happy Birthday Alex, From The Bridge Handicap over a demanding two‑mile distance. Sir Mark Prescott’s filly Campeona enjoyed a rapid three‑win streak earlier in the summer but has been beaten in her last two outings. Dropping her back in class and switching her to turf could provide the spark she needs to return to winning form.
Carthusian, a newcomer for trainer Jennie Candlish, debuted with a victory at Chester earlier this month and may be able to extend that success over the longer distance. Rounding out the field are A Daughters Love, No Ordinary Joe, and Queenie St Clair, each hoping to take advantage of the race’s challenging conditions.
The event will be part of Sky Sports Racing’s comprehensive coverage, which also features updates from international meetings. Internationally, the early morning schedule includes the Manikato Stakes at Caulfield, where Jimmysstar and Beiwacht are set to headline at 7:45 a.m. In Japan, the Group One Sprinters Stakes at Nakayama will kick off at 7:40 a.m., showcasing top sprint talent from across the continent. Later in the day, the Listed race at Craon will see Matsauri Bay and Spinning Lizzie compete at 12:40 p.m., adding another layer of excitement to a busy global racing calendar.
Overall, Sunday’s program at Ffos Las offers a blend of seasoned campaigners and emerging talent, each with a story to tell. Whether you are a seasoned punter or a casual fan, the day’s lineup provides ample opportunity to witness high‑quality flat racing, potential breakthroughs, and the ever‑present drama that makes horse racing such a compelling sport.
