The schedule for Sunday promises a packed day of racing, with flat events taking place at Ffos Las and 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 grade under the guidance of jockey Charlie Fellowes.
This 90-rated Frankel gelding, after five starts this season, has demonstrated enough promise to suggest that a win is within reach. His most recent performance saw him finish untroubled in a Listed race, indicating that he will be a tough competitor in this contest. Also featuring in the lineup 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 form has been heavily promoted, and under the reins of Callum Hutchinson, Silent Force is expected to be a serious contender.
Meanwhile, Ghost Raider brings two solid runs from Kempton and York to the field, positioning him as one of the leading outsiders. The open Bridge, The Home Of The Carvery Nursery Handicap, scheduled for 1:49 pm, will see recent winner Rhodes Runner take on seven rivals. The Ralph Beckett‑trained filly, who claimed her first victory in a Chester novice, appears ready to be competitive again in handicaps. Jamie Osborne will ride Blondie Larry, who makes his handicap debut carrying a rating of 73.
After finishing second in his last two starts, Blondie Larry looks poised to pose a significant threat under the skill of William Carver. Additional entries such as Naval Cop and Perigold Noir round out the field, offering further depth to the competition.

This service ensures that enthusiasts never miss a beat, whether they are following the action from home or on the go. In another intriguing matchup, Campeona and Carthusian will clash in the 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 attempts.
Dropping down in class for this race and switching to turf should improve her chances of returning to winning form. Carthusian, a stable debutant for Jennie Candlish who impressed at Chester earlier this month, may be able to build on that performance over the extended trip. The remaining slots are filled by A Daughters Love, No Ordinary Joe, and Queenie St Clair, each bringing their own strengths to the contest.
Racing enthusiasts can also look forward to international action later in the day. At 7:45 am, the Manikato Stakes at Caulfield will feature top sprinters Jimmysstar and Beiwacht, promising an exciting start to the Australian racing calendar. Shortly after, at 7:40 am, the Group One Sprinters Stakes at Nakayama will showcase elite speedsters in a highly anticipated showdown.
Later, at 12:40 pm, the Listed race at Craon will see Matsauri Bay and Spinning Lizzie compete for honors, adding another layer of intrigue to the global racing agenda. Overall, Sunday’s program at Ffos Las offers a rich tapestry of talent, from seasoned campaigners like Romanza aiming for that breakthrough win, to promising newcomers such as Carthusian seeking to cement their place in the sport.
The blend of handicaps, novice stakes, and international fixtures ensures that both casual fans and seasoned punters will find plenty to discuss and enjoy. With live coverage on Sky Sports Racing and comprehensive digital updates available, the day’s events are set to capture the excitement and drama that define modern flat racing.
