We have our very first runner at Ffos Las racecourse in Wales on Wednesday, when Fiftyshadesaresdev makes the 12 hour, and 557 round trip, where the gong is currently described as soft, heavy in places. I would imagine that every member of staff is hoping that they are the one to get asked to make the journey.
Fiftyshadesaresdev has always shown a liking for some give underfoot, and has found the faster surface on occasions against him in recent runs. He is still a maiden but has gone close on several occasions, and can now run off a reduced mark of 53. This will be his first step up to 12 furlongs, a trip he has every chance of seeing out, even in these stamina sapping conditions. He runs at 7.10.pm, in the 0-65 handicap, with Paula Muir riding him for the first time.

Good luck to the connections, Resdev.
