Bold ready to make Ffos Las Impact

Bold Impact could make a real statement in the Welsh Cottage Cakes EBF Maiden Stakes at Ffos Las on Tuesday.

Trained by Ralph Beckett, the son of Blue Point cost E350,000 as a yearling and has shaped with real promise in two performances so far.

He was less than 2-lengths behind Charlie Appleby's unbeaten Superlative Stakes scorer Ancient Truth and a useful colt of Richard Hannon's when third at Newmarket on debut and then again showed up well when favourite on his second start at Windsor.

As before, it was a well-regarded type that claimed his scalp, but there could be plenty of improvement to come now upped in trip for a race which was won by the Group One-placed Devil's Point 12 months ago.

Bold Impact has an entry in a valuable sales event in Ireland later in the year and his best could easily be still to come.

Fine Interview has joined Hamad Al Jehani's string in Newmarket and made an encouraging re-introduction to UK racing when third at Yarmouth last month.

He faded late on that occasion so a drop back to 1200m for the Christine Bielby Memorial/EBF Restricted Maiden Stakes seems wise and he represents the big-spending Wathnan Racing operation.

Fine Interview will be ridden by Rossa Ryan who has a great chance of further success on the card aboard Ed Dunlop's Run For The Sun, who looks ready to come to the boil in the Preventapest Handicap.

It may pay to keep Phil Kirby on-side at Catterick and he can get his afternoon up and running with Lord Torranaga in the Hugh James Handicap.

A course winner, he was runner-up over track and trip last time and the way he was staying on at the finish suggests he will be on the premises once again here at a venue he likes and off the same rating of 57.

Lady Bouquet goes for a hat-trick representing the North Yorkshire handler in the following Best Odds Guaranteed At Vickers.Bet Handicap.

Even though the very best of her form has come at 1000m, her recent victories have come on stiff tracks at both Beverley and Hamilton and while in the form of her life, is chanced to notch up a three-timer up in distance.

On the all-weather at Chelmsford, Heat Of Passion looks a typical Sir Mark Prescott project.

The veteran handler has his string in great form, as he often does at this time of year, and this Dubawi-filly has already added to his impressive recent strike-rate.

She made her debut over 1400m last year before two runs over 1600m this term but it was not until she stepped up to 2200m that we got to see what she was really capable of.

Having absolutely bolted up off a mark of 69, she reappears eight days later under a 6lb penalty but it is hard to see this half-sister to two Hong Kong Group One winners not being up to competing off much higher marks in the future.

Also at Chelmsford, Metro Dubai has the chance to get back on track having been set a stiff assignment in the Chesham Stakes on his second start.

Second on debut at Leicester before his run at Royal Ascot, the second division of the Ire-Incentive, It Pays To Buy Irish Restricted Maiden Stakes represents much calmer waters for Simon and Ed Crisford's youngster having faced the mammoth task of takin on Bedtime Story at the Royal meeting. - Press Association
