Newsboy's horseracing tips for Friday's six meetings, including Ffos Las Nap

BOBBY DASSLER is fancied to make it third time lucky in the care of Alison Thorpe with a victory in the dragonbet.co.uk Born From The Betting Ring Classified Stakes (2.55) at Ffos Las on Friday.

The bad news for backers of the six-year-old son of Awtaad is that it’s over two years since he last saw the inside of a winner’s enclosure – his last, and so far sole, success came in a handicap at Nottingham in May 2023.

That win came for Tom Ward and Bobby Dassler has since been trained by Laura Mongan and Michael Wigham before joining Carmarthenshire-based Thorpe in mid-summer.

But my selection ran with credit on his stable debut with a course-and-distance fourth in handicap company 16 days ago.

And he took a step forward with a neck second to The Pug in a classified stakes over 10 furlongs here last Friday.

Coming back a mile shouldn’t be an issue for Bobby Dassler and, with Elizabeth Gale claiming a useful 5lb he’s taken to double his career tally.

At Newcastle, NATURAL FORCE ran well at Ripon at the beginning of the month on the back of a mammoth 814-day lay-off and should justify odds in the High Gosforth Park Golf Club EBF Novice Stakes (8.30).
