Ffos Las best bet (1540): Rossa Ryan carries high hopes on Thewaytothestars
Gyenyame ridden by jockey Rob Hornby (centre) in the Racing TV Profits Returned to Racing Handicap at Nottingham racecourse
The phrase ‘horses for courses’ can be applied to jockeys also, and Rossa Ryan is looking to build on an impressive track record when he returns to Ffos Las on Tuesday afternoon.
15:40 Ffos Las: Christine Bielby Memorial Handicap (7 furlongs 80 yards)
Ryan has already reached a century of race wins this season, and his career-best 17% win rate has accrued a profit to the tune of 90 betting units from his 633 rides.
His record at Ffos Las is even more impressive, landing 14 winners from 60 previous outings here for a 23% win rate, while more than 50% of his rides have made the frame.
He has two rides lined up on Tuesday, with Going The Distance well-fancied to go well in the 15:05 race, quickly followed by our selection,
Thewaytothestars
in this contest over the same distance.

This Grace Harris-trained filly is yet to break her duck in 14 previous attempts, and none closer than in her last-time-out effort at Chepstow 11 days ago.
Over the same distance and in similar soft conditions, she finished stronger than any to finish an agonisingly close-up third, just a head and a short head off the winner.
Thewaytothestars had Callum Hutchinson in the saddle that day, and what she loses in the useful claimer's three-pound allowance, she should gain in the presence of course specialist Ryan.
With some major bookies paying out of three places for this 7-runner affair, she looks great value at her current 9/1 price to force her way into the frame.
Suggested bet:
Thewaytothestars each-way in the 15:40 at Ffos Las
