14:20 Chepstow Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
1 1st (1) (8/11 +47%) My Friend Sean	0.727273 8/11(+47%)	(1) My Friend Sean 8/11, Followed brace of 2m Uttoxeter wins with a creditable third at Lingfield (16f, heavy) last month, doing well in the circumstances having got racing far too early, the form franked subsequently. Very much of interest off the same mark, albeit facing quicker conditions. Has turned a major corner; big shout if the same on the forecast good ground here.
7 2nd (7) (33/1 +50%) Victor Haze	33 33/1(+50%)	(7) Victor Haze 33/1, Well-held in maiden/novice hurdles and fared no better when 7 lb out of the weights on handicap hurdle debut earlier this month. Again races from out of the handicap and this looks an uphill task. 22l sixth of nine on handicap debut at Hereford (2m, good) when 7lb wrong, as he is today.
5 3rd (5) (9/1 +44%) Robins Field	9 9/1(+44%)	(5) Robins Field 9/1, Maiden has been pulled up on 4 of his 6 starts over hurdles and despite a respectable second at Lingfield over fences on reappearance in December, failed to back that up when disappointing at the same venue 9 days on, for all the race may have come too soon. Reverts to hurdling with a bit to prove. 0-20 under rules; runner-up seven times but they were all over fences (from 14 chases).
2 4th (2) (5/2 +50%) Port Or Starboard	2.5 5/2(+50%)	(2) Port Or Starboard 5/2, Gained sole hurdles win at Exeter in March 2023 and has remained a fairly consistent performer at this level, wasn't disgraced after 8 weeks off when fifth of 9 in a handicap hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f, soft) three weeks ago, having not been suited by the emphasis on speed. Entitled to be in the mix. Just one win from his 30 races; six seconds includes his penultimate start.
4 5th (4) (15/2 0%) Jackson's Bay	7.5 15/2(0%)	(4) Jackson's Bay 15/2, Half-brother to 6 winners, including smart hurdler Marsh Warbler. Showed more than on debut when fifth at Taunton in December and shaped better than the bare result when fourth of 6 in a juvenile hurdle at this venue in January. May do better now handicapping and one to note in the betting. 4yo who needs markedly better but worth a market check on handicap debut.

14:20 Chepstow Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Now that the penny has dropped over hurdles for REMARKABLE FLIGHT after a comfortable success at Fakenham last week, Jennie Candlish's charge is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming and she can follow up under a 7lb penalty. A winner of two of his last three starts, My Friend Sean is expected to be thereabouts, along with Port Or Starboard, who has dropped to a mark 3lb lower than his last victory.

MY FRIEND SEAN lost little in defeat when foiled in his bid for a hat-trick last month, doing well to finish third having got racing too early. The pair that finished ahead of him have franked that form since, and this looks a good opportunity to regain the winning thread in an ordinary 0-100 handicap. Port Or Starboard is a fairly consistent operator at this level and has won off a higher mark than this, while last-time out winner Remarkable Flight may prefer this more galloping track.

Slight preference ahead of Remarkable Flight is for MY FRIEND SEAN, who's strung together a solid sequence in his last three starts.

14:55 Chepstow Handicap Chase (Class 5) 24f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
9 (9) (20/1 +39%) Totowolfe	20 20/1(+39%)	(9) Totowolfe 20/1, Irish point winner who has shown only poor form over hurdles and fences, pulled up in 3m1f handicap chase at Hereford last time. Hard to warm to. 0-9 under rules and well behind Puddlesinthepark and Lock Out last time at Hereford.
1 1st (1) (15/2 -88%) Redbridge Rambler	7.5 15/2(-88%)	(1) Redbridge Rambler 15/2, Fair winner at 24f over hurdles but yet to match that form in this sphere, fourth of 9 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (20f, soft) 54 days ago. Needs to step forward after a break. Winning hurdler and he's on a good mark should it ever come together over fences.
7 2nd (7) (9/2 +36%) Jessmae	4.5 9/2(+36%)	(7) Jessmae 9/2, Still a maiden and he recorded a fair third of 6 in handicap chase at Market Rasen (23.9f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Possibilities. Kept finding for pressure to be 11l off the winner last time at Market Rasen.
4 3rd (4) (4/1 +11%) Puddlesinthepark	4 4/1(+11%)	(4) Puddlesinthepark 4/1, Scored at Hereford in February and yet to be asked for his effort when unseated rider 5 out in handicap chase at Ffos Las (23.8f, heavy) 20 days ago. Not ruled out. Running well until a mid-race unseat last time; should be involved.
5 4th (5) (4/1 +11%) Unspeakable	4 4/1(+11%)	(5) Unspeakable 4/1, On al losing run but he comes here on the back of a good second of 10 in handicap chase at Taunton (26.3f, good to soft) 80 days ago. A likely player after a break. Off since December but met an improver last time and he's off an untouched mark.
3 5th (3) (7/2 +36%) Lock Out	3.5 7/2(+36%)	(3) Lock Out 7/2, C&D winner but he came in a well-held second of 7 in handicap chase at Wincanton (25.1f, soft) 14 days ago. Weighted to go well though if back on his A-game. C&D winner and capable on his day but can be up and own; not the percentage call.
6 6th (6) (12/1 +25%) Frankie Roy	12 12/1(+25%)	(6) Frankie Roy 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden who was pulled up in handicap chase at Ffos Las (23.8f, heavy) on his debut over fences 42 days ago. Cheekpieces are reached for now. Poor so far (including chase debut) but completely unexposed away from soft/heavy ground.
2 \|PU\| (2) (11/1 -47%) Macfin	11 11/1(-47%)	(2) Macfin 11/1, Placed all 3 starts over fences for Nigel Twiston-Davies in 2021/22. Won 4 starts between the flags since but pulled up in 3m Southwell handicap chase in January. Needs a big step forward. Multiple point winner; hasn't offered much in two chases following a long absence.
8 \|PU\| (8) (25/1 -194%) Janeslittlevoice	25 25/1(-194%)	(8) Janeslittlevoice 25/1, Maiden hurdler but she took really well to fences, bagging 3m1f handicaps at Newton Abbot and Wincanton when last seen out 17 months ago. No forlorn hope despite her lengthy absence. In cracking form when last seen but an 11yo now and has been off since October 2023.

14:55 Chepstow Handicap Chase (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Lightly raced for an 11-year-old, JANESLITTLEVOICE comes in here fresh having not run since scoring over 3m1f at Wincanton in October 2023. She was in good nick that year and, if picking up from where she left off, she could get the better of Puddlesinthepark, who has strong claims on his penultimate second at Ludlow last month. Jessmae and Unspeakable are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

UNSPEAKABLE posted a good second at Taunton last time out and is taken to gain a deserved first win in this sphere at the chief expense of in-form Puddlesinthepark. Lock Out is another who can have a say if on song.

This looks very open. Marginal preference is for REDBRIDGE RAMBLER who should be on a good mark and it's still early days over fences.

15:30 Chepstow Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
7 (7) (125/1 -150%) Pepper Queen	125 125/1(-150%)	(7) Pepper Queen 125/1, Down the field in 2 bumpers ahead of this switch to hurdles. The stable also runs Hard Dealt. Beat only one home at Ludlow and none at Market Rasen in another bumper.
2 1st (2) (5/2 +0%) Jaminska	2.5 5/2(+0%)	(2) Jaminska 5/2, Fair winning hurdler who stepped up on her reappearance when runner-up in 18.5f Exeter handicap on good ground in November. Two lesser runs have followed under softer conditions but claims if a return to a sounder surface sparks a revival. Her win was in January 2023; second at Exeter (2m2f, good) in November three starts back.
4 2nd (4) (4/1 +47%) Hard Dealt	4 4/1(+47%)	(4) Hard Dealt 4/1, £50,000 buy after winning sole outing in Irish points but modest form at best in a bumper and maiden hurdle in the mud before Christmas. Early days but improvement will be needed back from a break on quicker ground. Won Irish point; well beaten in bumper and maiden hurdle but pretty useful jumps pedigree.
1 3rd (1) (SP +100%) Hard As Nails	0 SP(+100%)	(1) Hard As Nails SP, Dual bumper/hurdle winner. Possibly unsuited by testing ground when below par in Wetherby handicap last month and should find these conditions more to her liking. Twice made all; 2m4f may help to explain the two heavy defeats among her last four starts.
5 4th (5) (50/1 -150%) Put A Lid On It	50 50/1(-150%)	(5) Put A Lid On It 50/1, In good hands but didn't achieve a great deal in 2 bumpers last summer. Hard As Nails looks the stable first string unless the betting hints otherwise. Modest in bumpers at Worcester (good) in July and Fontwell (good to soft) in September.
3 5th (3) (5/1 -82%) Chique Angel	5 5/1(-82%)	(3) Chique Angel 5/1, Reached the frame in 2 bumpers a year apart. Seemingly stretched by 21f on heavy ground when a remote fourth on Wincanton hurdle debut 7 weeks ago. Could leave that form well behind back at shorter. In the frame in bumpers; 4-1 for hurdle debut at Wincanton (2m5f, heavy) but beaten 28l.
6 6th (6) (150/1 -127%) Seventeenothree	150 150/1(-127%)	(6) Seventeenothree 150/1, Made the frame in 2 bumpers in January but always behind in a pair of Wincanton hurdles in recent weeks. Fourth in January in her two bumpers but tailed off at Wincanton in her two hurdle races.

15:30 Chepstow Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

This can go the way of HARD AS NAILS, who disappointed over further at Wetherby last time out but is better judged on her penultimate second at Newcastle when only beaten a length. Fergal O'Brien's mare should have no issues on this sounder surface and it may be that Jaminska gives her the most to think about dropping in distance. Chique Angel has yet to show much in three starts, but she remains unexposed and open to improvement.

The Paul Nicholls-trained CHIQUE ANGEL is faced with a very different test than when a remote fourth on her hurdle debut and is taken to leave that form well behind and prove too strong for more-established pair Hard As Nails and Jaminska, who could both benefit from the return to quicker ground.

Hard As Nails and Jaminska are the form picks. There is also the chance of improvement from HARD DEALT and Chique Angel.

16:05 Chepstow Handicap Chase (Class 4) 31f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
7 (7) (10/3 0%) Fashion's Model	3.333333 10/3(0%)	(7) Fashion's Model 10/3, Opened Rules account in Wincanton handicap chase on final start of last term and back in the winning groove at Warwick (3m, soft) 27 days ago. 5 lb rise fair enough and while one couldn't be sure that she'll be in the same form given her patchy profile, she will be a danger to all if again on-song. Emerged from the doldrums to score at Warwick (3m, soft) in second-time blinkers latest.
1 1st (1) (7/1 -75%) Gats And Co	7 7/1(-75%)	(1) Gats And Co 7/1, Three of his 4 wins over fences were gained here at up to 3¼m in 2022. Hasn't tasted success since but down to an attractive mark as a result and duly left his tame reappearance run behind when runner-up at Hereford (25.2f, soft) in December. Not discounted. Second again in a 3m1f handicap in December when last seen, but hard to predict.
8 2nd (8) (6/1 +57%) Spotty Dog	6 6/1(+57%)	(8) Spotty Dog 6/1, Step back in the right direction when fifth of 14 at Taunton (23f, good to soft) in January but deficiencies in the jumping department have since resurfaced. Hopes pinned on the first-time blinkers helping to spark a revival. Soundly beaten when placed in small fields on last two outings, at 3m5f on first occasion.
6 3rd (6) (15/2 +25%) Pottlerath	7.5 15/2(+25%)	(6) Pottlerath 15/2, Completed a chase hat-trick at the start of summer 2023 but not at his best in 2024 and didn't show much back from a break over hurdles at Ludlow last month. Cheekpieces refitted now reverting to fences. Second run after six months off; usual cheekpieces return (absent last time).
3 4th (3) (10/1 -82%) Felton Bellevue	10 10/1(-82%)	(3) Felton Bellevue 10/1, Had dropped below last winning mark and took advantage in emphatic fashion when bolting up in 8-runner event at Lingfield (23.5f, soft) last month. Safely held off this revised mark at Ludlow a week later and while that race may have come too soon, he looks vulnerable. 11l win at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) last month from Twilight Glory; not so good week later.
9 5th (9) (20/1 +50%) Dysania	20 20/1(+50%)	(9) Dysania 20/1, Just the one win to his name from 25 starts overall and he's 13 lb 'wrong' at the weights. Position 13lb out of the handicap confirms this as a tough task.
4 6th (4) (28/1 +44%) Tide Times	28 28/1(+44%)	(4) Tide Times 28/1, Fairly useful handicap chaser at best but has completely lost the plot, beaten a country mile back over hurdles at Doncaster last time. Failed to complete in 2024; again looked out of sorts when back over hurdles this January.
2 \|U\| (2) (11/4 +8%) Stellar Stream	2.75 11/4(+8%)	(2) Stellar Stream 11/4, Back on track in first-time cheekpieces when a running-on second of 7 to Katate Dori here (26.2f, heavy) in January (form boosted when the winner subsequently bolted up in a major handicap at Kempton). Blinkers now replace cheekpieces and this 8-y-o is of strong interest off the same mark. Bangor win (3m6f) last February and 2nd here (3m2f) latest, both on heavy; first blinkers.
5 \|PU\| (5) (5/1 +29%) Twilight Glory	5 5/1(+29%)	(5) Twilight Glory 5/1, Won back-to-back handicaps here last winter and stepped up on his reappearance when recording a second success at Lingfield (23.5f, soft) in December. Placed both subsequent starts, latterly beaten 10 lengths by Felton Bellevue back at Lingfield and now 7 lb better off with that rival. More to prove on good than in the mud, but this first run beyond 3m2f makes some appeal.

16:05 Chepstow Handicap Chase (Class 4) 31f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

GATS AND CO showed a lot more when taking the silver medal home over 3m1f at Hereford in December and was dropped 1lb. David Brace's 10-year-old is likely to relish the return to a left-handed track and he could get his head back in front. Stellar Stream sports first-time blinkers after his runner-up effort here in January and can go well, while Twilight Glory is another to watch out for.

The vote goes to STELLAR STREAM, who came up against one well ahead of his mark in Katate Dori here in January and the combination of this step back up in trip and new headgear could prove to be a winning recipe. Fashion's Model did the job well at Warwick and a reproduction of that would make her a serious player, while Twilight Glory is taken to reverse Lingfield placings with Felton Bellevue and also emerge as a threat. Gats And Co is worthy of mention, too.

The one with proven stamina is STELLAR STREAM (nap) and that may well win the day, for all that there are other questions to answer.

16:40 Chepstow Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
9 (9) (40/1 0%) Lake's Aventurine	40 40/1(0%)	(9) Lake's Aventurine 40/1, Made the frame on first of 2 starts in bumpers but little impact in maiden hurdles, well-beaten eleventh of 14 at Ffos Las (15.8f, heavy) on latest completion in November. Fell at the first on handicap debut 8 days ago and needs more (now hooded) on second start in handicap company. Modest form and was 25-1 when departing early on last week's handicap debut; now hooded.
3 1st (3) (3/1 +73%) Copper Jack	3 3/1(+73%)	(3) Copper Jack 3/1, Irish point winner has shown ability in novice company, likely not best suited by the sharper test on final qualifying run, fifth of 7 in novice hurdle at Wincanton (15.2f, heavy) and may well be capable of better now switched to handicaps and stepping back up in distance. Possible improver on handicap debut following a wind operation; tongue-tie added.
7 2nd (7) (9/2 +72%) Getuptheyard	4.5 9/2(+72%)	(7) Getuptheyard 9/2, Best effort to date came when fourth over this C&D last spring but has been underwhelming since, faring little better after wind surgery/11-week absence when down the field at Taunton last month. Needs to step forward from that run but not ruled out back at this venue off career-low mark. 0-6 in handicaps and hasn't progressed from running okay in two of his first three.
2 3rd (2) (6/1 0%) Myfanwy's Magic	6 6/1(0%)	(2) Myfanwy's Magic 6/1, Fair maiden hurdler didn't look a natural chaser and went with more fluency when reverted to hurdles in first-time cheekpieces last month when fourth of 12 at Warwick (26f, heavy), weakening. Could go well under a positive ride back in trip if headgear has same impact. Repeat of his second at Ludlow in November would give him a shout, though that was at 3m.
8 4th (8) (8/1 -33%) Small Town Hero	8 8/1(-33%)	(8) Small Town Hero 8/1, Point winner showed some promise in qualifying runs but little impact on two starts in handicaps, latest when dropping significantly in trip finishing well-held at Southwell (15.8f). Step back up in distance needs to bring about improvement. Performed beneath market expectations in two handicaps; may yet do better.
6 5th (6) (16/1 -113%) Greenrock Abbey	16 16/1(-113%)	(6) Greenrock Abbey 16/1, Dual winner over fences at Hereford during 2022/23 and placed twice last season but has been disappointing so far this campaign. Not best judged on most recent effort when making a bad mistake and is potentially well-treated if return to hurdles/first-time blinkers can spark a revival. Has been out of form over fences this season and blinkers now replace cheekpieces.
5 6th (5) (16/1 -33%) Tillaway	16 16/1(-33%)	(5) Tillaway 16/1, Some promise in qualifying runs, but seemingly handed a stiff opening mark, well-beaten over a longer trip on handicap debut (although bred to stay that far) fifth of 6 at Ffos Las (23.9f, heavy) 20 days ago. Bit to prove now dropping back in trip. Qualifying runs not devoid of promise; tailed off on h'cap debut but the ground was heavy.
1 7th (1) (4/1 -100%) Sergeant Fury	4 4/1(-100%)	(1) Sergeant Fury 4/1, Successful sole outing in points and showed plenty to work on in a bumper at Wincanton and on hurdles debut at Southwell. Posted a couple of below-par efforts in between but seemingly back on track when third on handicap debut 18 days ago, travelled well. Lightly-raced and likely has more to offer. Only beaten 6l on recent handicap debut and dropping back in trip could be beneficial.
4 \|PU\| (4) (5/1 +29%) Touquet	5 5/1(+29%)	(4) Touquet 5/1, Bumper winner on debut and made successful start over hurdles (Plumpton, 15.9f) in October, but failed to progress from that run, often racing too freely to finish off his races, as was the case when pulling up on handicap debut (after 7-weeks off). Remain to be seen if he can put it all together. Disappointing since winning his novice but this handicap looks easier than his first.

16:40 Chepstow Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Sergeant Fury made the frame over 2m5f at Doncaster on his most recent start, shaping as if this slight drop in trip may help. However, it may pay to side with TOUQUET, who was way too free to do himself justice when being pulled up on his handicap debut at Kempton last month. With Harry Cobden booked and a 5lb lower mark to compete off dropping in grade, he looks the way to go. Myfanwy's Magic completes the shortlist.

Quite a few runners have something to prove, and the most solid option looks to be Harry Derham's lightly-raced SERGEANT FURY, who showed improved form on handicap debut earlier this month and a repeat of that effort may see him go close here. Greenrock Abbey is potentially well-treated on return to this sphere if rediscovering his form in first-time blinkers. while Myfanwy's Magic shaped with promise back over hurdles and is a player if in the same mood over this sharper test.

Harry Derham's SERGEANT FURY was perhaps stretched by a longer trip when third on his recent handicap debut.

17:15 Chepstow Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 24f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
10 (10) (20/1 +39%) Largy Valley	20 20/1(+39%)	(10) Largy Valley 20/1, Won Ayr bumper for Stuart Crawford in 2022 but has offered little for current yard since, pulling up in 19.5f course handicap last month. It remains to be seen whether a step up in trip helps. Given wind surgery before pulled up this winter in his only two handicaps.
2 1st (2) (9/4 +59%) Five Quarters	2.25 9/4(+59%)	(2) Five Quarters 9/4, Runner-up sole start in points and placed in maiden hurdles at Taunton and here (19.5f, soft) in recent months. Potential improver now making a quick switch to handicaps over a longer trip. Placed in maidens at Taunton and Chepstow; this step up in trip can help on handicap debut.
7 2nd (7) (11/2 +45%) Ri Na Cuirte	5.5 11/2(+45%)	(7) Ri Na Cuirte 11/2, Well backed and much improved after 6 months off when narrowly landing a 3¼m Fontwell handicap hurdle in November. Matched that form with third in stronger race at Ascot (first 2 winners next time) 2 weeks later but 2 lesser runs have followed. The refitting of cheekpieces needs to spark a revival. Chase debut brought good form to an abrupt halt; tailed off when back hurdling 13 days ago.
1 3rd (1) (6/1 -140%) Keppel Queen	6 6/1(-140%)	(1) Keppel Queen 6/1, Still a maiden but runner-up in all 3 handicap hurdles, including C&D. Another bold show is on the cards. 2nd in all her three handicap hurdles, two under Benjamin Macey; firmly in the mix.
4 4th (4) (33/1 -136%) Iron Heart	33 33/1(-136%)	(4) Iron Heart 33/1, Four-time hurdle winner. Struggled over fences when last seen in the autumn but could fare better back hurdling if ready to roll after 134 days off. Won on good over hurdles last May/July; needs a second look on first run since November.
3 5th (3) (15/2 +0%) Melton Mossy	7.5 15/2(+0%)	(3) Melton Mossy 15/2, Gained a fourth win of a very productive first half of the season when striking under Eleanor Williams at Ludlow (21f, good to soft) in November. Placed on his next 2 starts but not so good the last twice. Bounce back needed. Four handicap wins last May-November; first backward steps for a while on last two starts.
6 6th (6) (6/1 -50%) Fortunate Fella	6 6/1(-50%)	(6) Fortunate Fella 6/1, Placed all 3 starts in Irish points. Little better than modest form in maiden/novice hurdles around 19f but he hails from a leading yard and could easily prove a different proposition now handicapping up in trip. Some ability and this handicap debut over a longer trip should offer more possibilities.
9 7th (9) (17/2 +66%) Archie Macdart	8.5 17/2(+66%)	(9) Archie Macdart 17/2, Modest maiden hurdler. Off 16 months, showed enough to suggest some ability remains when seventh of 10 in 19.5f course handicap 26 days ago. Up in trip. Entitled to come on for the run. 487 days off before showing some ability remains here (extended 2m3f; 80-1) latest start.
5 8th (5) (16/1 -113%) Camps Bay	16 16/1(-113%)	(5) Camps Bay 16/1, Has shown ability on 2 of his 3 qualifying runs and rates a possible improver now handicapping in a first-time visor. Needs marked improvement on this handicap debut in first headgear.
8 \|PU\| (8) (9/1 +10%) Coal Fire	9 9/1(+10%)	(8) Coal Fire 9/1, Twice a winner over hurdles for Peter Bowen in 2023 and showed enough to suggest he retains his ability in 2 chase outings for new trainer Robbie Llewellyn last month. Back on his last winning mark in this sphere. Interesting runner. Missed 2024 and ran over fences on both starts for new yard; good mark on peak hurdle form.

17:15 Chepstow Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Keppel Queen has been knocking on the door recently and she is one of the leading candidates. Preference, however, is for FIVE QUARTERS, who plugged on for third over the extended 2m3f here last month. The son of Shantou enters handicaps off a potentially workable mark and the step up in trip could be key. Coal Fire hasn't made much impact over fences but he's on a competitive mark reverting to hurdles.

KEPPEL QUEEN is taken to deservedly get her head in front with Benjamin Macey taking a handy 7 lb off her back. Fortunate Fella and Five Quarters appeal as potential improvers now handicapping over a longer trip and head the dangers. Coal Fire could also pose a threat if a return to hurdles helps him to recapture his best form.

Keppel Queen is probably the most solid option but handicap newcomer FIVE QUARTERS brings potential and may prove good enough.

17:45 Chepstow NH Flat Race (Class 5) 16f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
7 (7) (33/1 +18%) El Arco	33 33/1(+18%)	(7) El Arco 33/1, Pillar Coral gelding. Dam, 10.5f winner in France, sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) Saint Arvans. Best watched on debut unless the betting suggests otherwise. Third foal; dam French 10.5f winner; stable not noted for having bumper winners.
1 1st (1) (8/11 +34%) Hurricane Pat	0.727273 8/11(+34%)	(1) Hurricane Pat 8/11, Runner-up in a pair of Irish points last spring and looked a good prospect when landing a good-ground Sandown bumper in November. Much softer ground just seemed to stretch him when third there last month and big player back on a sounder surface. Ran well under a penalty at Sandown (heavy) and his form sets the standard.
5 2nd (5) (15/2 -67%) Three Pikes	7.5 15/2(-67%)	(5) Three Pikes 15/2, Jack Hobbs gelding who showed a fair level of ability when fifth of 12 on Huntingdon debut in January, staying on as the penny dropped. May do better. Close up at Huntingdon behind a previous winner and should have more to offer.
3 3rd (3) (17/2 -13%) Crossgales King	8.5 17/2(-13%)	(3) Crossgales King 17/2, Cost £85,000 after finishing runner-up on both completed starts in Irish points. Interesting runner. Finished runner-up in two Irish points and changed hands for £85,000.
4 4th (4) (12/1 +70%) Money To Burn	12 12/1(+70%)	(4) Money To Burn 12/1, Promise on debut for Shark Hanlon in July 2023 but not seen again until well held at Huntingdon in January (for Clare Ellam). Fitted with a hood this time and can only watch after another stable change. Unruly before finishing tailed off at Huntingdon; new trainer fits a hood.
6 5th (6) (80/1 -60%) Robin Blue Breast	80 80/1(-60%)	(6) Robin Blue Breast 80/1, €3,000 Blue Bresil mare. Dam bumper winner who is a half-sister to a couple of useful sorts. Yard 0-6 in bumpers in the last 5 seasons. It's almost certainly best to look elsewhere. 3,000euros 3yo; first foal out of a bumper winner; stable 0-6 in bumpers recent seasons.
2 6th (2) (4/1 -14%) Calvino	4 4/1(-14%)	(2) Calvino 4/1, €130,000 Walk In The Park gelding who offered something to work on when fourth of 6 on his Ascot debut in November. Given a bit of time since and rates a potential improver for a top stable in a good vein of form. They went very steady at Ascot and he got outpaced; still ran a promising race.

17:45 Chepstow NH Flat Race (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

CALVINO was perhaps a little disappointing at Ascot on his racecourse bow in November, but he's been off the track since and progress looks likely, especially given the stable's current form. Hurricane Pat wasn't disgraced under a penalty at Sandown latest and he should mount another stern challenge, while Three Pikes, who shaped with promise on his first start, appeals most of the remainder.

HURRICANE PAT looked good under the sort of ground conditions he's likely to face here when scoring at Sandown back in November and can land a second bumper win. The Paul Nicholls-trained Calvino can give him most to do unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding Irish point recruit Crossgales King.

Hurricane Pat will be hard to beat but CALVINO is bred to win races and could easily leave his Ascot form behind.

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.
