• Bringing alcohol into the enclosures other than that purchased at the racecourse is prohibited Barbecues are not permitted.

Evacuation Procedures

If an incident occurs which is beyond our control, it is important that you are aware of how we intend to look after you in the event of an emergency.

As part of our Safety management, we have employed professionally trained and experienced stewards and you will see them at various points throughout the racecourse. In the event of a situation, which requires partial or full evacuation of the stands or racecourse, announcements will be broadcast and stewards will undertake the responsibility of ushering you to a place of safety; it is essential that you follow their instructions. Please take your immediate belongings with you and proceed out of the area quickly and calmly with the guidance of the stewards

The evacuation procedures have been carefully planned to lead you to a safe area Should it be necessary to evacuate the course itself, there will be two main options; firstly to return to your vehicles if safe to do so and leave via the main entrance

Secondly, should it not be safe to return to your vehicles, you will be requested to leave via emergency evacuation gates, onto the racecourse itself, where you will receive further instructions.

It may give you peace of mind if you pre plan and agree a meeting place, just in case you become separated from your party. The above is precautionary only and we trust that the procedures will never be required. However, in the event of an emergency, remember;

• Take your belongings with you.

• Under the directions of the stewards, proceed quickly and calmly to the safe area.

Glasses & Bottles

Broken glasses and bottles are dangerous. In the interests of safety and the comfort of others please do not carry drinks or food on to the steppings of the stand, or the areas adjacent to the parade ring or unsaddling enclosure. Our catering team can transfer your drink into a plastic glass if you wish

Horse & Jockey Welfare

It is policy at this racecourse for screens to be erected in circumstances where we have any horse, or jockey in a condition whereby treatment is being administered and a degree of privacy is deemed appropriate The use of screens does not therefore automatically infer that a fatality has occurred

To find out more about our Equine Welfare policy please visit our website: www.ffoslasracecourse.com

Photography

Racegoers may take photographs for private purposes. Under no circumstances may photographs taken on the racecourse be used for publication without the permission of the racecourse executive Flash photography is essentially dangerous where horses are involved You are asked not to use flash photography anywhere in the parade ring area and particularly near the Winners Enclosure.

Radios & Mobile Phones

The use of all types of communication equipment is strictly controlled at all racecourses. Members of the public may not use two-way radios, scanning receivers etc. for any purpose at the racecourse Mobile telephones may not be used in or near any designated betting area, or for off-course betting purposes. Further details are available from the racecourse office

Unauthorised Bookmaking

It is a condition of entry to this Racecourse that only individuals in possession of a valid betting badge and occupying an authorised pitch are entitled to lay bets on the course of their business. Any individual found contravening these conditions will be evicted.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: ILOT DE L’ISLE trained by R Bandey, Kingsclere, 159 miles.

ILOT DE L’ISLE made a successful hurdling debut at Strasbourg in November and is open to improvement for his new stable, so he’s fancied to defy a penalty. Polyphonic ran well on his handicap hurdle debut at Fontwell last month and has to be feared back in novice company, with Norn Iron another to consider having shown some promise in a Chepstow bumper

WEIGHTWATCHER: COTTON END won off a handicap mark of 121, her rating is now down 19lb to 102.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: MARTALINDY trained by Mrs P Kirby, Richmond, 327 miles.

It might be worth taking a punt on COTTON END, who arrives in no sort of form over fences but the assessor has given her a major chance returned to the smaller obstacles and the fitting of cheekpieces can be viewed as a sign of intent. Kalpaga will doubtless be popular given the ease in which she won at Hereford, with Nikhi a potential improver over this trip

BIG AMBITIONS chased home a decent novice in Etalon on his hurdles debut at Wetherby and again showed promise at Lingfield next time The 5-y-o appeals as the type to take a step forward now going down the handicap route off what may well turn out to be a handy opening mark. King of Brazil is also unexposed in this sphere and is next on the list ahead of StansThe Man, who will find this more palatable than the valuable Sandown handicap he contested last month.
