With the drama of the Breeders’ Cup behind us, attention switches back to the jumps season as the big names head to Ffos Las on Sunday, all live on Sky Sports Racing.
1.05 Ffos Las – Talented hurdler Soaring Glory makes chase debut
Only three runners line-up in the two-mile Download The Vickers.Bet App Novices’ Limited Handicap Chase (1.05), however it looks like a cracking contest that could have implications later in the season.
The headline runner is Jonjo O’Neill’s strapping dark bay Soaring Glory. The imposing gelding caught the eye when running away with the Betfair Hurdle in 2021 before going on to finish fourth in the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival.
He was unable to land a blow in graded hurdles races last season, but he looks like a ready-made chaser, and it will be fascinating to see how he gets on.
He takes on Venetia Williams’ Easy As That who has not been seen for 639 days. The Andrew Brooks-trained seven-year-old was last seen bolting up in a handicap hurdle at Chepstow but he is another who looks made for a fence.
