WELCOME

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and a very warm welcome to Ffos Las Racecourse! We’re absolutely delighted to have you with us today for what promises to be a fantastic raceday - packed with thrilling action and competitive racing. First and foremost, we’d like to extend our heartfelt thanks to today’s sponsor, Adept. Their generous support not only makes today’s racing possible, but also helps us continue to deliver unforgettable events here at Ffos Las. We are extremely Stephaine Geer grateful for their ongoing commitment. Acting General Manager Looking ahead to next year, we’re really looking forward to our St David’s Day Raceday - where Welsh heritage meets the thrill of live racing. Expect fantastic live entertainment from an exciting tribute act still to be announced (so keep your eyes and ears peeled), unbeatable racing, and a range of delicious food and refreshing drinks, all served with a warm Welsh welcome! We still have some availability for our £10 admission ticket offer, so be sure to secure yours quickly - first come, first served! We’re also excited for our Family Fun Day on Sunday 12th April. This is a brilliant day out for all ages, with children’s activities, funfair rides, local food stalls serving great refreshments and snacks, and colourful face painting for kids (or mums and dads!). And of course, the day is packed with thrilling jump racing and a magical atmosphere the whole family will love. And finally (and arguably everyone’s favourite raceday!) – we have the return of our Ffos Las Ladies Day on Friday 21st August. Get ready for the most glamorous event of the year at Ffos Las Racecourse - a spectacular celebration of fashion, racing, and entertainment. It’s a day where elegance meets excitement, and everyone is invited to join the fun! Whether you’re dressing to impress or simply soaking up the atmosphere, Ladies Day is the perfect excuse to gather your friends, put on your finest outfits, and enjoy a truly unforgettable experience. Throughout the afternoon we will showcase both flat and jump racing, set in a stunning location that brings excitement and prestige to the day. Fashion takes centre stage, from fascinators to bold brims, giving guests the perfect moment to shine. Live entertainment will feature as part of the celebration, with a surprise act to be announced soon, and guests can indulge in delicious local dishes, cocktails, and summer refreshments. Our popular Best Dressed Awards return, offering fabulous prizes including £500 vouchers for the most stylish outfit. And yes - gentlemen are absolutely welcome. Smart suits are encouraged, and you may even find yourself on the catwalk. Finally, as the year draws to a close, I would like to take the opportunity to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of my team and our raceday staff. Your commitment throughout the year has been outstanding, and days like this would not be possible without you. I am incredibly grateful to each and every one of you - your hard work does not go unnoticed. On behalf of the entire team here at Ffos Las Racecourse, thank you once again for joining us. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We hope you have a wonderful afternoon - and the very best of luck if you’re having a flutter!

Admission Policy

• Entry to the racecourse is subject to the right of the racecourse executive to refuse to admit and/or to expel, without prior notice, any person whose behaviour is considered to be unruly or unacceptable or is a disqualified person. • Bringing alcohol into the enclosures other than that purchased at the racecourse is prohibited. Barbecues are not permitted. • No Dogs allowed (except Registered Assistance Dogs) • Racegoers must at all times comply with any conditions, rules and regulations in operation, including the observance of no drinking areas for safety reasons. • Lost and stolen badges will not be replaced.

Evacuation Procedures

If an incident occurs which is beyond our control, it is important that you are aware of how we intend to look after you in the event of an emergency. As part of our Safety management, we have employed professionally trained and experienced stewards and you will see them at various points throughout the racecourse. In the event of a situation, which requires partial or full evacuation of the stands or racecourse, announcements will be broadcast and stewards will undertake the responsibility of ushering you to a place of safety; it is essential that you follow their instructions. Please take your immediate belongings with you and proceed out of the area quickly and calmly with the guidance of the stewards. The evacuation procedures have been carefully planned to lead you to a safe area. Should it be necessary to evacuate the course itself, there will be two main options; firstly to return to your vehicles if safe to do so and leave via the main entrance. Secondly, should it not be safe to return to your vehicles, you will be requested to leave via emergency evacuation gates, onto the racecourse itself, where you will receive further instructions. It may give you peace of mind if you pre plan and agree a meeting place, just in case you become separated from your party. The above is precautionary only and we trust that the procedures will never be required. However, in the event of an emergency, remember; • Take your belongings with you. • Under the directions of the stewards, proceed quickly and calmly to the safe area.

Glasses & Bottles

Broken glasses and bottles are dangerous. In the interests of safety and the comfort of others please do not carry drinks or food on to the steppings of the stand, or the areas adjacent to the parade ring or unsaddling enclosure. Our catering team can transfer your drink into a plastic glass if you wish.

Horse & Jockey Welfare at Ffos Las

Nothing matters more to us when racing than the safety and welfare of both horse and rider. Central to that is the track itself and our groundstaff do everything in their power to provide an optimum racing surface. On duty today we also have a dedicated and experienced team of highly-qualified Vets, Doctors and Paramedics following the action at every stage. Their key responsibility is to monitor and provide care to the competitors throughout their time at the racecourse. The locations and vehicle movements of these skilled specialists during racing are designed to provide a rapid response to any incident across the site. We also have a highspecification horse ambulance in attendance at every fixture to enable safe transport of a horse from the track to our on-site veterinary treatment facility for further treatment, or to the nearest equine referral hospital. It is our standard practice to erect screens around any horse or jockey requiring attention on the course as this provides privacy and a safe, calm environment in which to accurately diagnose and treat the patient as necessary. Please do not assume the worst if screens are erected around a horse. We are fully committed to minimizing risk in our sport, to dealing professionally and efficiently with any injury, and to maintaining the highest possible quality of care for the horses and jockeys racing here today. To find out more about our Equine Welfare policy, please visit our website www.ffoslasracecourse.com.

Racegoers may take photographs for private purposes. Under no circumstances may photographs taken on the racecourse be used for publication without the permission of the racecourse executive. Flash photography is essentially dangerous where horses are involved. You are asked not to use flash photography anywhere in the parade ring area and particularly near the Winners Enclosure.

Star Ratings Explained

Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below: HHHHH Selected to win the race. HHHHI Good chance of being placed. HHHII By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims. HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope. HIIII Can be given little or no chance.

OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS EXPLAINED The BHA Handicappers allot ratings to horses once they have taken part in a sufficient number of races to enable the Handicappers to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s ability. The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the Handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions. A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring any penalties or allowances). The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in nonhandicaps races the rating shown is that of each runner at the time that the entries for the race were confirmed. Any subsequently published change to a rating, either up or down, is shown in brackets following the rating. For novice steeple chasers, the latest hurdle race rating may be shown until such time as the Handicappers allot a separate steeple chase rating. Such ratings are prefixed by the letter h.

(Penalty Value £4066.37) Weights raised 2lb and paragraph 34 of the Weights and Handicapping Code complied with where applicable. A

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): E Williams (42 wins from 420 runners, 10%) runs MUMBLES TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): E Williams (3 wins from 32 runners, 9%) runs MUMBLES FANCY THAT: E Williams won this race in 2021 and 2024. The stable runs MUMBLES today. LONGEST TRAVELLER: LEXIE’S MOON trained by L Horsfall, Towcester, 191 miles. RACE SUMMARY

A case can be made for plenty of these, perhaps the strongest for MUMBLES who thrives under testing conditions and is handicapped to strike having bounced back to form at Chepstow last time. Handicap debutant Douglas Hyde looks the main danger, while recent course winner Hellfire Princess should remain competitive despite a 6lb rise. 1-2-3: 1.MUMBLES (IRE) 2.DOUGLAS HYDE (IRE) 3.HELLFIRE PRINCESS KEY colours

RACE SUMMARY An impressive bumper winner on debut, POTTERSVILLE got straight back on track with a convincing win over hurdles at Exeter last month and she’s fancied to follow up against the boys.

In a race where several have something to prove, this can go to ESPERTI, who made it 2 course wins from his last 3 starts here last month and a 4lb rise may not be enough to prevent further success. River Voyage bettered previous efforts in this discipline when shaping well on last month’s Chepstow reappearance, so he heads up the dangers, with Stellar Stream and Isle of Gold taken to fight out minor honours. 1-2-3: 1.ESPERTI (IRE) 2.RIVER VOYAGE (IRE) 3.STELLAR STREAM (IRE) KEY colours

TIMEFORMVIEWTook advantage of a much-reduced mark when scoring here in February then backed that up (despite tending to jump right) when runner-up on return at Newton Abbot. Did well to come from last to first in a falsely-run race when scoring back here last month and remains of interest nudged up 4lb. TFRHHHHH BHA86

Course winner LADY HARRIETT was well backed when third here on reappearance last month and is worth another chance in a winnable race. Stamina Chope arrives in fine heart and looks the most likely danger, while it will be interesting to see any money come for Fay Ce Que Voudras stepping back up in trip. 1-2-3: 1.LADY HARRIETT 2.STAMINA CHOPE (FR) 3.FAY CE QUE VOUDRAS (IRE) KEY colours
