Sunday promises a packed schedule of flat racing at Ffos Las, all 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 steps down a class for trainer Charlie Fellowes. The six‑year‑old Frankel gelding, currently rated 90 after five starts this season, has been consistently close to the top and appears ready to break his maiden. His most recent run saw him finish a respectable second in a Listed race, indicating that he is competitive at that level and should be a serious contender when he drops back in class.
Also featuring in the card is Andrew Balding’s Silent Force, who has only raced once, finishing third at Newbury last month. Despite the limited experience, the horse has been heavily promoted in the betting markets and will be ridden by Callum Hutchinson, who will look to extract the best from this lightly‑raced prospect. Ghost Raider, another promising runner, has already delivered two solid performances at Kempton and York, placing him among the more credible challengers in the field. The race also includes the recent winner Rhodes Runner, who will line up against seven rivals in the open Bridge, The Home Of The Carvery Nursery Handicap scheduled for 1:49 p.m.
The Ralph Beckett‑trained filly, who secured her first victory in a Chester novice, is back in a handicap and appears well‑suited to the conditions. Her impressive win suggests she can hold her own against seasoned competitors. Jamie Osborne will take the reins on Blondie Larry, who makes his handicap debut with a respectable 73 rating.
Having finished second in each of his last two outings, Blondie Larry looks like a strong threat under the guidance of William Carver. Other notable entries include Naval Cop and Perigold Noir, who round out the more experienced portion of the field.
For fans who want to stay up‑to‑date with the latest racing news, interviews, and feature stories, the Sky Sports Racing app offers real‑time updates and in‑depth coverage. The program also showcases a clash between Campeona and Carthusian in the challenging Happy Birthday Alex, From The Bridge Handicap over a demanding two‑mile distance.
Sir Mark Prescott’s Campeona, who enjoyed a rapid three‑win streak earlier in the summer, has been beaten in her last two starts. Dropping down in class and switching to turf could rejuvenate her form, making her a contender once again. Carthusian, a stable debutant for Jennie Candlish who impressed at Chester earlier in the month, may thrive over the extended trip and look to improve on that promising start.
Rounding out the lineup are A Daughters Love, No Ordinary Joe, and Queenie St Clair, each offering their own strengths and adding depth to the race. The day’s card also includes international fixtures: at 7:45 a.m.
in Caulfield, the Manikato Stakes will feature Jimmysstar and Beiwacht; at 7:40 a.m. in Nakayama, the Group One Sprinters Stakes will be contested; and later, at 12:40 p.m. in Craon, a Listed event will see Matsauri Bay and Spinning Lizzie among the contenders. Overall, Sunday’s action at Ffos Las provides a rich tapestry of stories, from seasoned campaigners seeking to add another win to their records to emerging talents eager to make a name for themselves.
Whether you are a seasoned punter or a casual fan, the variety of races and the quality of the participants promise an exciting day of flat racing. Stay tuned to Sky Sports Racing for live coverage, expert analysis, and all the latest developments from the track.
