The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(6) Tile Tapper 4/1, Fairly useful hurdler who made an encouraging chasing bow when fourth at Exeter. Only eighth in 20f Lingfield handicap since however, so others are preferred.

14
14/1(-17%)
(10) Caswell Bay 14/1, Dual hurdles winner who was also good second in 3m handicap here last month. Went with little promise on his chasing bow at Ffos Las 16 days ago however and needs to take a big step forward here.

12
12/1(-50%)
(5) Fearless 12/1, Fairly useful winner over hurdles who showed promise when placed on his first two outings over fences. Pulled up in Warwick handicap chase last time though but he's worth another chance.
4
5th (4) (3.5/1 +7%) Enormouse
3.5
3.5/1(+7%)
(4) Enormouse 3.5/1, 16/1, gained breakthrough win in handicap chase over C&D 22 days ago. Still has few miles on the clock, so he can make his presence felt again despite 6 lb rise.

8.5
8.5/1(-6%)
(7) Found On 8.5/1, Dual winner over hurdles but yet to match that form in two runs in this sphere, remote third in 22f Uttoxeter handicap four weeks ago. More is required if she's to open her account in this sphere.

28
28/1(+0%)
(9) Landsman 28/1, Record under various codes is patchy, and he turned in a poor effort when ninth in 26f handicap chase here 22 days ago. Hard to warm to.

3.2
3.2/1(-28%)
(2) Lady Of The Night 3.2/1, Opened her hurdling account at Fontwell and made a promising start in this sphere when clear second in 19.4f Wetherby handicap 30 days ago. Winner has gone in again since, so she's a big player.

9
9/1(+25%)
(1) Redford Road 9/1, Winner of a Grade 2 novice hurdle at Cheltenham in 2019 but he is proving disappointing over fences, pulled up in handicap chase at Exeter (24.2f) 72 days ago. Easily opposed.

18
18/1(+28%)
(8) Paradise Island 18/1, Three-time hurdle winner in France but he came in well-held ninth in 18f Exeter handicap hurdle on his yard bow last month. Reverts to fences after a wind op with a big step forward required.
LTO Selection:
13:43 Chepstow Handicap Chase (Class 4) 19f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(1) Ballyandy 4/1, 9/4, gained a deserved first win of the season in 4-runner handicap hurdle at Fakenham (23.4f) 17 days ago. Up 8 lb but had plenty in the tank there and weighted to go close again.
5
2nd (5) (4.5/1 +31%) Jepeck
4.5
4.5/1(+31%)
(5) Jepeck 4.5/1, Still a useful hurdler despite his veteran status, scoring at Wincanton in January and good second in 21f handicap there a week ago. C&D winner too, so he's in the mix once more.
2
3rd (2) (5.5/1 -57%) Brinkley
5.5
5.5/1(-57%)
(2) Brinkley 5.5/1, Smart hurdler last term who opened his account over fences in Huntingdon novice in December. Pulled up in handicap chase here since though and now reverts to hurdles.
6
4th (6) (16/1 -14%) Belargus
16
16/1(-14%)
(6) Belargus 16/1, Dual chase winner at Sandown last term but he fell at the first on his return in 20f Cheltenham handicap in November. Has a rare run over hurdles after his break and others are more persuasive.
7
5th (7) (2.2/1 +45%) Bells Of Peterboro
2.2
2.2/1(+45%)
(7) Bells Of Peterboro 2.2/1, Looked highly progressive when stylish winner of handicap over C&D in December only to turn in modest sixth at Huntingdon last month. Worth another chance.
8
6th (8) (20/1 +0%) Mr Muldoon
20
20/1(+0%)
(8) Mr Muldoon 20/1, Dual scorer over fences last season, but he's yet to fire in 4 outings this term, tried in blinkers last time. Goes back hurdling now with serious questions to answer.

10
10/1(+0%)
(4) Prime Venture 10/1, Got back on track with win in 3m handicap chase (18/1) at Sandown 49 days ago. Has only second run in this sphere since early 2018 here and others appeal more.
3
8th (3) (12/1 -118%) Ask For Glory
12
12/1(-118%)
(3) Ask For Glory 12/1, Easy winner of 21f Wincanton noivce but off 16 months since running poorly in Cheltenham novice. Returns after a wind op now with a bit to prove.
LTO Selection:
14:18 Chepstow Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(5) Destined To Shine 4/1, Fairly useful chaser who was right back on his game when runner-up at Wetherby 10 days ago. Remains well treated and should go well again for all this is a higher grade of handicap
1
2nd (1) (1.75/1 +13%) Eclair D'Ainay
1.75
1.75/1(+13%)
(1) Eclair D'Ainay 1.75/1, Gained a third career success under a positive ride at Wetherby in December and backed it up with an excellent second at Lingfield last month. Another bold showing is on the cards.
2
3rd (2) (2.5/1 -25%) Al Dancer
2.5
2.5/1(-25%)
(2) Al Dancer 2.5/1, Form tailed off following a promising start over fences last season. Hasn't fired yet this term but he's unexposed for a thriving yard and a return to chasing should suit back from a break.
3
4th (3) (7/1 -40%) Fugitif
7
7/1(-40%)
(3) Fugitif 7/1, Hurdles winner who has already scored twice in this sphere and could be forgiven for a lesser effort faced with a stiff task in the Scilly Isles at Sandown 3 weeks ago. Could resume progress.
4
5th (4) (8/1 +20%) Duc De Beauchene
8
8/1(+20%)
(4) Duc De Beauchene 8/1, Crucially jumped better when opening chase account at this course last March. Not knocked about when only sixth in a handicap here 84 days ago, but could be spot on now.

14:53 Chepstow Handicap Chase (Class 2) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(8) Mr Katanga 10/1, Has yet to get seriously competitive for this yard, including both starts over fences. Needs more now tried in headgear.

7.5
7.5/1(-7%)
(2) Loch Garman Aris 7.5/1, Came good with pair of 3m chase wins in the mud at Bangor last May. Might have needed comeback run and failed to complete in unfortunate circumstances back over hurdles 2 weeks ago. Yard in good form.
1
3rd (1) (4/1 +43%) Storm Force Ben
4
4/1(+43%)
(1) Storm Force Ben 4/1, Maiden hurdler who made a promising start over fences when second at Exeter on return. Similar form when third over a longer trip there next time but let down by jumping at Wincanton since.
5
4th (5) (10/1 -11%) Jurys Out
10
10/1(-11%)
(5) Jurys Out 10/1, Hurdles winner at Carlisle in 2019. Placed 3 times over fences since but his 3 efforts this season haven't been up to much. Bounce back needed in first-time headgear.
10
|F| (10) (5.5/1 +21%) Bignorm
5.5
5.5/1(+21%)
(10) Bignorm 5.5/1, Won at Leicester last season but hasn't matched that form in 3 starts this year, remote third at Uttoxeter latest.
6
|U| (6) (7/1 -100%) Ivilnoble
7
7/1(-100%)
(6) Ivilnoble 7/1, Just the one win from 17 starts in this sphere but arrives here on the back of a string of decent efforts, including when just edged out at Ludlow latest. Player.
7
|PU| (7) (7/1 -40%) Eaton Miller
7
7/1(-40%)
(7) Eaton Miller 7/1, Modest hurdler/chaser who scored twice last season. Good second after 10 months off in handicap chase at Taunton (26.3f, soft) but folded quickly at Uttoxeter 2 weeks ago.
11
|PU| (11) (8.5/1 +6%) Doran's Bridge
8.5
8.5/1(+6%)
(11) Doran's Bridge 8.5/1, Little impact over hurdles but showed more than on chase bow in first-time cheekpieces/tongue strap when third at Lingfield. Failed to repeat that at Wincanton since.
9
|PU| (9) (12/1 +45%) Cadeau Du Bresil
12
12/1(+45%)
(9) Cadeau Du Bresil 12/1, Doesn't appear to retain much ability or enthusiasm.
4
|PU| (4) (14/1 -40%) Daenerys Stormborn
14
14/1(-40%)
(4) Daenerys Stormborn 14/1, Point winner but largely disappointing over hurdles/fences in Ireland for L. Byrne. Better effort for this yard when third at Market Rasen and back up in trip now.
3
|PU| (3) (66/1 -32%) Calicojack
66
66/1(-32%)
(3) Calicojack 66/1, Lost his way in Ireland for Noel Meade and has failed to complete all 3 starts for this yard this term.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(4) Gats And Co 8/1, Kept on well for third of 11 at Warwick and this stiffer test of stamina will surely suit. Eased further 3 lb so one to consider.
6
2nd (6) (9/1 -38%) Wind Tor
9
9/1(-38%)
(6) Wind Tor 9/1, Seven-time winner between the flags and some reasonable bits and pieces of form to her name under Rules. Didn't carry a win threat at Fontwell 3 weeks ago, though.
10
3rd (10) (8.5/1 +15%) Timely Gift
8.5
8.5/1(+15%)
(10) Timely Gift 8.5/1, Ended 2019 on a high, bagging a couple of handicap hurdles. However, he failed to fire on all cylinders in 2020/21 and he seems a fragile sort judged on fleeting appearances of late.
7
4th (7) (6.5/1 +7%) Kestrel Valley
6.5
6.5/1(+7%)
(7) Kestrel Valley 6.5/1, Won brace of handicap hurdle in a busy campaign last season. Just the one effort of note over fences this season, merely plugging on for third in a handicap chase here last time.
1
|U| (1) (9/1 -29%) Ballybreen
9
9/1(-29%)
(1) Ballybreen 9/1, Yet to fire this term, but his mark has edged down as a result and he was close up when falling 3 out at Ffos Las. Blinkers now the headgear of choice and he's interesting down in grade.
8
|U| (8) (11/1 +21%) Hang Tough
11
11/1(+21%)
(8) Hang Tough 11/1, Back to form when fourth of 17 at Ffos Las in November. Worrying he hasn't finished his race off either outing since, particularly as he's now up in trip.
2
|PU| (2) (3/1 +33%) Bretney
3
3/1(+33%)
(2) Bretney 3/1, Found plenty for pressure when shedding maiden tag over 3m at Uttoxeter in December. Matched that form when runner-up twice since and represents yard in excellent form.
3
|PU| (3) (10/1 +9%) Le Tueur
10
10/1(+9%)
(3) Le Tueur 10/1, Pulled up on both his starts over fences this season. Didn't fare much better over timber last month so has plenty to prove at present in a change of headgear.
11
|PU| (11) (12/1 +14%) Son Of Oz
12
12/1(+14%)
(11) Son Of Oz 12/1, Seemingly much improved when third of 10 from 22 lb out of the handicap last month. No major surprise he failed to back that up last time, jumping poorly.
5
|PU| (5) (14/1 +30%) Nessfield Blue
14
14/1(+30%)
(5) Nessfield Blue 14/1, Opened his account over 26f at Fontwell in October and matched that form when runner-up at Ffos Las a month later. Stamina-sapping race on Boxing Day took its toll and not in same form at Warwick.
9
|PU| (9) (16/1 -88%) High Counsel
16
16/1(-88%)
(9) High Counsel 16/1, At the veteran stage now but change of tactics seemed to perk him up when fourth of 9 at Carlisle 3 weeks ago. Eased further 2 lb so he isn't without interest.
LTO Selection:
16:00 Chepstow Handicap Chase (Class 5) 26f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(2) Churchills Boy 10/1, Malinas gelding. Dam, fourth in point, half-sister to fairly useful but ungenuine hurdler/useful staying chaser Our Island. Successful sole outing in point bumper (Dec 12). Interesting Rules newcomer.
5
2nd (5) (6/1 -50%) What A Steal
6
6/1(-50%)
(5) What A Steal 6/1, Well-related and showed plenty of ability when third at Warwick on debut last month. Open to improvement, so could make his presence felt.
3
3rd (3) (0.83/1 +34%) Marty Byrde
0.83
0.83/1(+34%)
(3) Marty Byrde 0.83/1, Confirmed debut promise with the benefit of experience when runner-up to another promising sort at Exeter 46 days ago, pulling well clear of the remainder. May well go one better.
7
4th (7) (14/1 +30%) With Poise
14
14/1(+30%)
(7) With Poise 14/1, Telescope filly. Half-sister to bumper winner Super Duper Sam. Dam (c116/h112), 2m-2½m hurdle/chase winner. Makes some appeal on paper.
1
5th (1) (22/1 -22%) Bells Of Rutland
22
22/1(-22%)
(1) Bells Of Rutland 22/1, €6,700 3-y-o, Kingston Hill gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner The Trampolinist. Dam (c95/h100), 2½m hurdle winner (stayed 3m), closely related to useful staying chaser Butler's Cab. Not ruled out
6
6th (6) (9/1 +36%) Vengeance
9
9/1(+36%)
(6) Vengeance 9/1, Schiaparelli gelding who has only hinted ability in a couple of bumpers to date, looking more one for the longer term.
4
7th (4) (6.5/1 -30%) Trajectile
6.5
6.5/1(-30%)
(4) Trajectile 6.5/1, Schiaparelli gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner Leroy Brown. In good hands, and is clear of interest on debut.

About U.K Horse Racing
Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
