Key Characteristics

Ffos Las is a left handed course of about a mile and a half, with a straight six furlong course which is very wide, with gentle undulations. The course looks to suit galloping horses, and probably most closely resembles Ayr racecourse in configuration. When the going is good or faster it definitely favours prominent racers, and it is very hard to win with a hold up horse.
