Ffos Las Local Bookmakers Handicap

Big chance on 2024 best but he's yet to find his feet in 2025; not beaten far at Chepstow last time (cheekpieces on for the first time) but he was still only sixth of the seven runners; this is weaker and can't discount.

Back to winning ways in a classified event at Bath last month (5.7f, good); no progress in three starts since but this is uncompetitive.

No impact in three handicap runs, suffering heavy defeats in two outings in blinkers this summer; goes without headgear now down into 0-55 company but he's not a solid option.

Had wind surgery in May; low-key run at Brighton last month but much more like it when second of 13 at Bath 13 days ago (5.7f, firm); 1lb rise not beyond him and he's more appealing than most.

Poor form in three novice/maiden runs; opening mark looks stiff on the face of it but this 75,000euros brother to Group 2 winner Dandalla is faced with a more realistic assignment this afternoon; betting instructive.
