The racing schedule for Sunday promises a full day of flat action 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 the well‑known Frankel gelding Romanza steps down a grade under the guidance of trainer Charlie Fellowes. Romanza, currently rated 90 after five runs this season, has demonstrated enough promise to suggest that a win could be just around the corner. His most recent performance in listed company saw him finish un‑beaten, indicating that he will be a tough competitor for the rest of the field.
Also featuring is Andrew Balding’s Silent Force, who has only raced once, finishing third at Newbury last month. Despite limited experience, the form he displayed in that outing has been heavily promoted, and he will be ridden by Callum Hutchinson, adding a layer of intrigue to his chances. Ghost Raider, another contender, has put in two solid performances at Kempton and York, positioning him as one of the stronger runners after Romanza and Silent Force. The recent winner Rhodes Runner will take on seven rivals in the open Bridge, The Home Of The Carvery Nursery Handicap scheduled for 1:49 pm.
Rhodes Runner, trained by Ralph Beckett, broke his maiden in a Chester novice race and appears to have the class to be competitive again in a handicap setting. Jamie Osborne will be aboard Blondie Larry, who makes his handicap debut carrying a rating of 73. Having placed second in each of his last two starts, Blondie Larry looks like a serious threat, especially with William Carver in the saddle. The remaining runners, Naval Cop and Perigold Noir, round out the field and are considered the best of the rest.
In addition to the Ffos Las action, the program includes a thrilling two‑mile contest: the Happy Birthday Alex, From The Bridge Handicap, where Campeona and Carthusian will clash. 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 and switching to turf could rejuvenate her chances. Carthusian, a stable debutante for Jennie Candlish who impressed at Chester earlier this month, may also benefit from the extended distance.
The race will also feature A Daughters Love, No Ordinary Joe, and Queenie St Clair, completing a diverse and competitive lineup. For racing enthusiasts who want to stay informed, Sky Sports Racing offers a suite of news, interviews, and feature stories accessible via mobile devices.

Overall, Sunday’s racing offers a blend of seasoned campaigners and emerging talent across a variety of distances and surfaces.
