Find out which runners on Tuesday caught the eye of the Timeform reporters last time and were awarded the Horse In Focus Flag.

What is a Horse In Focus?

Every performance in Britain and Ireland is closely scrutinised by the expert race readers at Timeform whose tasks include identifying horses that shaped better than the result. Some of these eye-catchers will be awarded the Horse In Focus Flag.

A Horse In Focus comes in many forms, from a promising maiden winner to a veteran handicapper, but the common denominator is the same: the way the horse shaped suggests it’s likely to be something to back next time.

All of the day's Horses In Focus can be found within this article, which also includes a best bet selected by a member of the Timeform Sporting Life team.

The Timeform Flags also appear on the Racecards + section, available for Sporting Life Plus members, on Sporting Life racecards.

UN SENS A LA VIE's sales price rose to £180,000 after winning an Irish point and he looked an excellent prospect for hurdling when making a winning a bumper at this course on his Rules debut earlier this year.

He went with plenty of enthusiasm, looking a relentless galloper with an uncomplicated style, pressing on early in the straight and strong all the way to the line.

Un Sens A La Vie didn't look the finished article physically on that occasion, so will have likely strengthened up further in the off-season, and he returns for a yard who are among the winners.
