As sub-zero temperatures continue to disrupt the National Hunt season, the Weekend Winners team return in search of successful bets for Ffos Las.

Host Kate Tracey is joined by BetVictor’s Sam Boswell and At The Races’ Declan Rix to discuss what remains of the weekend’s action following the abandonment of Kempton’s Lanzarote Handicap meeting.

The trio begin with a look at the Towton Novices’ Chase, held at Ffos Las at 1.15pm on Saturday – live on Sky Sports Racing…

“Handstands is super, super smart! It was a shame to see him on chasing debut where he lived up to his name, but it’s good to see he’s none the worse for that fall at Wincanton. Last time out he showed plenty of resilience at Sandown when ridden more prominently – which I did like to see.

“He was suited by the step up to three miles on testing ground – so however the ground comes up at Ffos Las, he won’t care at all. He’s the class act of the field and I think he’ll take another Grade Two if he goes here.”

Sam Boswell

“I’m with Cherie d’Am. I backed You Wear It Well at Warwick but the winner was absolutely deadly from the front under Harry Skelton. This time last year, the Skeltons had a six-timer across the card on this weekend but obviously there’s no Warwick this time around – a track they tend to do well at.

“However, I think she’s a serious horse who will serve it up to whatever else turns up. Also, a big well done for getting the racing on. I think it’s really important that we’ve been agile as a sport and hopefully we’ve got a good race ahead.”

Declan Rix

“I don’t remember many mares taking to fences as well as Cherie d’Am. She was dynamite around Carlisle and was brilliant again at Warwick afterwards. It’s a small negative that the race isn’t at Wetherby because prominent races are suited to that track but she’s incredibly likeable. Maybe JP will go in again for her!

“She does have to carry a penalty but I’m a big fan of her and the Skelton yard – they’re a serious operation.”
