Sky Sports Racing will broadcast live jumps action from Ffos Las on Sunday, February 27, 2026, featuring Toby Lawes' in-form horse La Higuera as he seeks a hat-trick victory in the Amroth Bay Static Caravan Sales Handicap Hurdle at 3:00pm. The racing channel presents a busy day of equine competition with domestic jumps action complemented by international meetings from Auteuil in France and Sha Tin in Hong Kong, providing racing enthusiasts with a global spectacle of equestrian excellence. The 3:00pm contest at Ffos Las promises to be particularly intriguing as La Higuera, fresh from victories at Wetherby and Southwell, faces stiff competition from Sparkling Duke, who comfortably won a course-and-distance hurdle last month despite a significant rise in weight. Earlier in the day at 2:30pm, the 3A's Wales Largest Motorhome And Caravan Dealer Maiden Hurdle will see Rebecca Curtis's Inishcorker and Limerick Star bid to break their maiden status, with several other contenders including Kenzo Des Bruyere also in contention.
