Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Litaque is our selection at Ffos Las, and he heads the ratings on 104, a clear nine pounds better than his nearest rival Kappa des Mottes on 95, which is a meaningful edge over two miles on good ground. Kappa des Mottes is the obvious danger and the only other runner we can put a figure on, while the remaining seven are unrated and make this a hard race to pin down. Litaque has the strongest credentials of those we can assess, and he gets the vote, even if only with limited confidence.

Racecard

Bois Clairs is an unexposed debutant with no recorded form to go on, so he is open to any amount of improvement. He carries 156 lb, which is a notable burden for a first-timer to shoulder.

Esprit Sauvage is unexposed on debut with no form to assess, so he is open to improvement from a clean slate. He shoulders 156 lb, a notable burden for a newcomer, and everything about him remains to be learned.

Ned Fox (3)
Tom Symonds 1/11
Kappa des Mottes arrives with a second last time out and a fifth two starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before, so he looks a leading threat at 156 lb. The main risk is a 206-day absence, while our rating of 95 ranks him second of nine.

Harry Cobden
Anthony Honeyball 5/37
Kiptanuy is unexposed and yet to run, so this debut gives little to go on, though he is open to improvement. He carries 156 lb, and the lack of any form means he is one to learn about on the day.

Sam Twiston-Davies
Paul Nicholls 8/39
Unexposed gelding who won his sole recent start, though that came 602 days ago, so fitness is the question. Carrying 156 lb, he is lightly raced and open to improvement on what little form he has shown.

Jack Tudor
Mickey Bowen 3/16
Litaque looks the one to beat, having finished second last time out, third two starts back and a winner three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. A 126-day absence is the one question, while 156 lb is a stiff burden, but our rating of 104 ranks him top of nine.

Harry Skelton
Dan Skelton 20/97
Won last time out in his only recent start, but this lightly raced gelding returns after 252 days off and carries 156 lb. Unexposed and open to improvement, though the long absence leaves fitness a question.

Rebecca Curtis 3/7
Unexposed gelding who finished third on his latest outing, but he returns after 253 days off and carries 156 lb, so he should have more to offer on that limited evidence and looks open to improvement.

Lightly raced and unexposed, The Dancing Blue finished second last time out, but she returns after a 274-day break, so fitness is the question. Carrying 149 lb, she is yet to win in her recent form and looks open to improvement.
