Department of War looks the one to beat at Ffos Las, with our rating of 120 putting him a full 17 lb clear of Boyles Hill on 103, a gap that should count for plenty over this two miles on good ground. Boyles Hill is the chief danger, while Lully du Houx on 102 and Dalcassian Girl on 100 are tightly bunched behind and capable of making it a contest if our man is below his best. The rest, led by Berkshire Smudge on 94, look to have too much to find in a modest Class 5 field, though confidence is only low given how open such races can be. Department of War is the selection.
