Ffos Las Placepot picks: Tom Segal's perm for the £50,000 guaranteed pool

Having won the 3m handicap chase (1.10) at Ffos Las a year ago, Impatient looks Placepot banker material. He's only 4lb higher this time around and he's fit and ready to go after a good run at Uttoxeter recently.

The other bankers come in the novice hurdles with the promising Our Boy Stan the one to concentrate on in the opener over 2m (12.40). Anthony Honeyball has won two of the last three runnings of the 2m4f race (1.40) and has a chance of landing it again with Southfield Finale, who showed plenty in two bumpers last season. 

The other three handicaps are not so easy but the Rebecca Curtis-trained Valens Bruyee loves the track and is reunited with Sean Bowen in the 3m handicap hurdle (2.15). He should go well, but he's far from consistent and so the nicely treated Mister Barclay goes in too.

Curtis has another good chance with Boston Joe in the 2m handicap chase (2.50). He's won three times at the track and goes really well for Ben Jones. He goes in along with Nedzor, who always goes well fresh and is open to more improvement.

The 2m4f handicap hurdle (3.25) is not a strong race, but the booking of Bowen for Bells Of Ufford looks a tip in itself. He should run well and is included along with the topweight Youdecide, who could have a significant class edge.
