100
100/1(+0%)
(8) Lord Bill 100/1, Little to get excited about so far.
1
3rd (1) (0.44/1 +47%) Hermes Boy
0.44
0.44/1(+47%)
(1) Hermes Boy 0.44/1, Lightly raced 5 y-o who confirmed previous promise when opening his account in ready style in an Exeter novice in December. Spurned a good opening at Hereford 3 weeks ago but this a good chance to gain compensation.
12
4th (12) (50/1 -150%) Codebook
50
50/1(-150%)
(12) Codebook 50/1, Fair maiden at best on Flat (barely stays 1½m). Too free to last out both starts over hurdles.
9
5th (9) (50/1 +24%) Pot Of Paint
50
50/1(+24%)
(9) Pot Of Paint 50/1, Fairly useful maiden on Flat but looks a handicap project over hurdles.
2
6th (2) (14/1 +30%) Castle Quarter
14
14/1(+30%)
(2) Castle Quarter 14/1, Fair10f scorer on the level for Michael Appleby but off the track since September. Didn't achieve a great deal on recent hurdles debut but effort wasn't devoid of promise.
7
7th (7) (125/1 -25%) Lindisfarne
125
125/1(-25%)
(7) Lindisfarne 125/1, Dam, ungenuine maiden jumper, half-sister to modest hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 3m) Bronzesmith. Little promise in various company.
11
8th (11) (50/1 +0%) Jellicle Jewel
50
50/1(+0%)
(11) Jellicle Jewel 50/1, Showed more than on debut when fourth of 6 at Newton Abbot in September but it's still very modest stuff.
4
9th (4) (50/1 -150%) Dogem By Design
50
50/1(-150%)
(4) Dogem By Design 50/1, €40,000 3-y-o, Sageburg gelding. Dam, 2m-2½m hurdle/chase winner, half-sister to smart hurdler/chaser Lie Forrit. Minor promise only in points and well held on hurdles debut.
3
|U| (3) (50/1 -25%) Diamond Jack
50
50/1(-25%)
(3) Diamond Jack 50/1, Hung badly left and ran out at Hereford in a bumper on debut in February. More straightforward at Newbury but didn't show much.
14
10th (14) (80/1 -100%) Vendange
80
80/1(-100%)
(14) Vendange 80/1, Well held sole start on Flat. Has left Richard Hannon and gelded since.
13
11th (13) (150/1 -50%) Shielded
150
150/1(-50%)
(13) Shielded 150/1, Fair maiden on Flat. Sold from Simon & Ed Crisford for 9,000 gns in October and no impact both outings over obstacles.
5
12th (5) (100/1 +0%) Half Nelson
100
100/1(+0%)
(5) Half Nelson 100/1, Well held in a trio of bumpers and pulled up on hurdles bow.
6
13th (6) (12/1 +70%) Hartnoll Hero
12
12/1(+70%)
(6) Hartnoll Hero 12/1, Refused to race the last twice so easy to swerve in first-time blinkers.
LTO Selection:
13:08 Chepstow Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(5) Wayfinder 2.75/1, Low-mileage 8-y-o who returned to form when second of 17 here in February but pulled up in Devon National at Exeter since.
3
2nd (3) (4/1 +11%) Clemencia
4
4/1(+11%)
(3) Clemencia 4/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2019, but he posted good third of 5 in handicap chase at Hereford (25f, soft) 45 days ago. Enters calculations eased 1 lb here with that form working out well. Cheekpieces added.
4
3rd (4) (7.5/1 -88%) Premiumaccess
7.5
7.5/1(-88%)
(4) Premiumaccess 7.5/1, Failed to build on quite an encouraging reappearance third at Fontwell when a remote fourth at Taunton but he may have found the run coming too soon only 15 days later. Freshened up since.
7
4th (7) (7/1 -17%) Wildfire Warrior
7
7/1(-17%)
(7) Wildfire Warrior 7/1, Fairly useful winner at 21f over hurdles. Better effort switched to fences last twice when fourth at Doncaster (20.5f) but he hasn't looked a natural in the jumping department. Return to 3m should help, though.
2
5th (2) (6/1 +40%) Cobra De Mai
6
6/1(+40%)
(2) Cobra De Mai 6/1, On a lengthy losing run and didn't really show enough when sixth over 3m at Southwell last time to suggest he's in good enough form to take advantage of his reduced mark.
1
6th (1) (5.5/1 -57%) Huntsmans Jog
5.5
5.5/1(-57%)
(1) Huntsmans Jog 5.5/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Some good efforts switched to fences this term but latest distant third at Exeter wasn't one of them. Bounce back called for after short break.
6
7th (6) (7/1 +13%) On Call
7
7/1(+13%)
(6) On Call 7/1, Landed a pair of all-the-way wins over C&D in the autumn. Not in the same form since so needs a return to this venue to spark him back to life.
LTO Selection:
13:42 Chepstow Handicap Chase (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(10) Heron Creek 3/1, Has shown signs of ability in 2m maiden hurdles this year and, with his shrewd yard in good form, he's one to monitor closely in the betting now moving up in trip for this handicap debut. Has undergone wind surgery.
7
2nd (7) (3/1 +25%) Isle Of Aron
3
3/1(+25%)
(7) Isle Of Aron 3/1, Still seeking his first taste of success (0-11 overall), but he got back on track when fifth of 12 at Wincanton (21.4f) recently. 2 lb lower here and he has to enter calculations.
3
3rd (3) (12/1 -33%) Methusalar
12
12/1(-33%)
(3) Methusalar 12/1, Lightly-raced 6-y-o who took a step forward when fourth on handicap debut at Huntingdon last May. Has failed to build on that in two starts so far this season, but not one to write off just yet.
6
4th (6) (7/1 +30%) Walkinthewoods
7
7/1(+30%)
(6) Walkinthewoods 7/1, Switch to handicap company prompted immediate improvement when runner-up at Ffos Las (2m) in February. Well held upped to 21.7f at Hereford next time, though, and now has a bit to prove.
1
5th (1) (4.5/1 +10%) Noble Savage
4.5
4.5/1(+10%)
(1) Noble Savage 4.5/1, Runner-up on first two starts of the season, but form has dipped the last twice and this 10-race maiden is likely to come up short once more.
2
6th (2) (22/1 -175%) Start Point
22
22/1(-175%)
(2) Start Point 22/1, Incremental progress in maiden hurdles and departed before the race began in earnest on handicap bow at Taunton. Hood refitted and could be a factor granted a clear round this time.
12
7th (12) (40/1 -21%) Vinnie's Icon
40
40/1(-21%)
(12) Vinnie's Icon 40/1, Remains winless following 13 attempts under Rules and, unless the addition of cheekpieces helps bring about significant improvement, another struggle is on the cards.
4
8th (4) (12/1 -71%) You Name Him
12
12/1(-71%)
(4) You Name Him 12/1, Good third off a much higher mark than this at Hexham last summer, but has misfired in two appearances since returning from a break in December and hopes here pinned on cheekpieces sparking a revival.
8
9th (8) (33/1 +18%) Light Of Athena
33
33/1(+18%)
(8) Light Of Athena 33/1, Performed above market expectations when third in a 2m novice here in November, but subsequent efforts in handicap company leave much to be desired.
5
10th (5) (40/1 -186%) Prince Of Bad Lins
40
40/1(-186%)
(5) Prince Of Bad Lins 40/1, Left debut form well behind when third in an eight-runner Exeter juvenile hurdle in November. However, backward step at Taunton since and improvement needed now upped in trip for this handicap bow.
11
11th (11) (9/1 +10%) The Generous Joker
9
9/1(+10%)
(11) The Generous Joker 9/1, Attracted support ahead of last month's handicap debut at Exeter (16.7f), but he was never in the hunt and will need to raise his game in order to play a leading role up in trip here.
9
12th (9) (50/1 -150%) Shadow Walker
50
50/1(-150%)
(9) Shadow Walker 50/1, No impact in a trio of novice events to date and significant step forward required now pitched into a handicap.
LTO Selection:
14:17 Chepstow Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(6) Benito 2.12/1, Seemingly improved for step up to 20.3f when third of 16 in a Newcastle handicap on penultimate start. Rather disappointing at Warwick next time, but testing conditions there may not have been ideal and he's worth another chance.
11
2nd (11) (16/1 +0%) Sevenofus
16
16/1(+0%)
(11) Sevenofus 16/1, Successful between the flags in October, but she has yet to trouble the judge under Rules and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.
9
3rd (9) (14/1 +0%) Cheer's Delboy
14
14/1(+0%)
(9) Cheer's Delboy 14/1, Placed on a couple of occasions over hurdles, including when third at Huntingdon in November. However, followed that with a lesser effort at Ludlow and record in this sphere stands at 0-13.
5
4th (5) (20/1 -43%) Brandy Cove
20
20/1(-43%)
(5) Brandy Cove 20/1, Fair start to hurdles career when second in a four-runner Hereford novice in October, but beaten a long way on each of his two subsequent appearances.
7
5th (7) (18/1 -64%) Bells Of Stamford
18
18/1(-64%)
(7) Bells Of Stamford 18/1, Hard to draw any real positives from what he's shown in a bumper and three novice hurdles.
1
6th (1) (11/1 +8%) Teddy The Knight
11
11/1(+8%)
(1) Teddy The Knight 11/1, Modest in bumpers and while there have been positives to glean from his efforts in maiden company, the switch to handicap company will need to prompt improvement if he's to make an impact here.
4
7th (4) (4/1 -33%) Post No Bills
4
4/1(-33%)
(4) Post No Bills 4/1, Dual point winner who appears to have been brought along steadily with handicaps very much in mind. Opening mark is reasonable and improvement could be on the way.
10
8th (10) (22/1 -38%) Ivy Avenue
22
22/1(-38%)
(10) Ivy Avenue 22/1, Will need to leave form in maiden/novice hurdles well behind now pitched into a handicap, but that's by no means beyond the realms of possibility given her exploits on the Flat. Market check advised.
3
9th (3) (33/1 -136%) Nostalgica
33
33/1(-136%)
(3) Nostalgica 33/1, Positive enough start over hurdles last year, runner-up in mares' novice events at Taunton and Newton Abbot. However, she was well held at Exeter when last seen in October and since undergone a wind op.
8
10th (8) (33/1 +34%) Blue Heather
33
33/1(+34%)
(8) Blue Heather 33/1, Runner-up three times in bumpers for Gavin Cromwell in 2019, but little to shout about over hurdles to date.
2
|PU| (2) (3/1 +25%) Floy Joy
3
3/1(+25%)
(2) Floy Joy 3/1, Bumper winner who signed off last term with an improved handicap debut second at Newton Abbot. Has failed to build on that in three starts so far this season, but better ground here will help and he needs considering.
12
|PU| (12) (50/1 -25%) Lightning Bug
50
50/1(-25%)
(12) Lightning Bug 50/1, Just one piece of worthwhile form to her name in this sphere and she was pulled up at Hereford when last seen in October.
LTO Selection:
14:52 Chepstow Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(1) Ballinsker 1.5/1, Finally got off the mark over fences in 5-runner handicap at Plumpton (19.8f) 19 days ago. Up 4 lb but he's still not taken lightly.
4
2nd (4) (4.5/1 +0%) Discko Des Plages
4.5
4.5/1(+0%)
(4) Discko Des Plages 4.5/1, Off 11 months and had wind op before shaping well on his belated return when third of 6 in handicap chase (4/1) at Bangor (17.4f) 20 days ago. Should step forward now.
5
3rd (5) (5.5/1 -120%) Trumps Benefit
5.5
5.5/1(-120%)
(5) Trumps Benefit 5.5/1, In very good nick when last seen out 6 months ago, second of 6 in handicap chase at Fontwell (19.5f). Cheekpieces back on and has to be taken seriously despite his absence.
2
4th (2) (7/1 +18%) Star Of Rory
7
7/1(+18%)
(2) Star Of Rory 7/1, Opened his account in this sphere at Leicester only to jump poorly when modest fifth at Hereford three weeks ago. Needs to get back on track.
3
|F| (3) (5/1 +55%) Rosmuc Relay
5
5/1(+55%)
(3) Rosmuc Relay 5/1, Unreliable type who turned in one of his lesser efforts when eighth of 10 in handicap chase at Taunton (23f) 30 days ago. Visor back on with something to prove.
6
|F| (6) (8/1 -14%) Bold Conduct
8
8/1(-14%)
(6) Bold Conduct 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden for Colin Tizzard and pulled up on his last two starts. Has lots to prove on his yard debut here.
LTO Selection:
15:27 Chepstow Handicap Chase (Class 4) 19f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(1) File Illico 1.25/1, Bagged his third win of the season in 3-runner handicap chase at Leicester (15.9f) 32 days ago. Not taken lightly despite going up 5 lb.
4
2nd (4) (3.5/1 +59%) Shortcross Storm
3.5
3.5/1(+59%)
(4) Shortcross Storm 3.5/1, Opened his account in this sphere at Newton Abbot in June. Off the track though since poor fifth in handicap chase there 8 months ago and he needs to hit the ground running.
2
3rd (2) (1.5/1 +20%) Getaway Luv
1.5
1.5/1(+20%)
(2) Getaway Luv 1.5/1, First run since leaving Olly Murphy when landing 7-runner handicap chase at Stratford (17f) 19 days ago. Hit with 5 lb rise but he was well on top at the finish there, so rates a big player.
LTO Selection:
16:02 Chepstow Handicap Chase (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(6) Coal Stock 2.75/1, Dual winner last term but struggling for form this time round. Has joined in-form stable though, so worth monitoring in the betting off good mark.
4
2nd (4) (6/1 +14%) Port Or Starboard
6
6/1(+14%)
(4) Port Or Starboard 6/1, Fair Flat maiden who has matched that form over hurdles but looks exposed and performed poorly when a remote fourth of 5 over C&D a month ago. Others are more persuasive.
3
3rd (3) (12/1 -200%) Halifax
12
12/1(-200%)
(3) Halifax 12/1, Lightly-raced 5-y-o who made a promising debut for Joseph O'Brien and, while yet to improve on that for current yard, he's liable to make a bigger impact now switched to handicaps after a break/wind op. Worth considering.
1
4th (1) (3.5/1 -27%) Glory And Honour
3.5
3.5/1(-27%)
(1) Glory And Honour 3.5/1, More miss that hit this season, which means he has slipped to an appealing mark. Tongue strap back on and cheekpieces tried with his stable in red-hot form, so might well get back on track.
7
5th (7) (7/1 +30%) Olympic Honour
7
7/1(+30%)
(7) Olympic Honour 7/1, Recorded a second success on the Flat at Ffos Las in August. Lost his form subsequently (although failed to stay last time) and will probably need this first run for 170 days.
2
6th (2) (2.5/1 +17%) Great Ocean
2.5
2.5/1(+17%)
(2) Great Ocean 2.5/1, Winning Irish pointer who confirmed previous promise in this sphere when comfortably landing a novice at Wincanton in January. Subsequent blip at Sandown is best excused, so might well get back to winning ways.
5
7th (5) (22/1 -10%) Loved Out
22
22/1(-10%)
(5) Loved Out 22/1, Fair maiden hurdler in Ireland for Thomas Mullins but just modest form so far for current yard. Handicap mark still seems to be on the high side, so others make more appeal.
LTO Selection:
16:37 Chepstow Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(1) Ginny's Destiny 2/1, Closely related to top-class chaser God's Own and showed a good amount of ability himself when second at Exeter first time out. Capable of going one better with improvement on the cards.
4
2nd (4) (10/1 -25%) Moonshine Spirit
10
10/1(-25%)
(4) Moonshine Spirit 10/1, Telescope gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Feel The Pinch and bumper winner Billams Legacy. Highly respected on debut.
3
3rd (3) (2.25/1 +70%) Mikhailovich
2.25
2.25/1(+70%)
(3) Mikhailovich 2.25/1, Sholokhov gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 3½m) Royal Vacation out of 2m hurdle winner Summer Break, also 9f-1¼m winner on Flat. One to note for stable that can ready a newcomer.
7
4th (7) (50/1 +24%) Bullets Hill
50
50/1(+24%)
(7) Bullets Hill 50/1, €7,000 3-y-o, Kingston Hill gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Going Gold and modest hurdler Cardy. Dam placed sole start in points. Doesn't make much appeal.
6
5th (6) (4.5/1 +25%) Track And Trace
4.5
4.5/1(+25%)
(6) Track And Trace 4.5/1, £70,000 4-y-o, Mahler gelding. Brother to fair chaser Barden Bella, stays 3m. Third sole start in Irish points (Nov 28). Might need further, but warrants a market check on Rules debut.
5
6th (5) (7.5/1 +17%) Sams Comet
7.5
7.5/1(+17%)
(5) Sams Comet 7.5/1, Black Sam Bellamy gelding. Brother to fairly useful hurdler Blackjack Magic and bumper winner/fair hurdler Passam. Makes plenty of appeal on paper.
2
7th (2) (10/1 -150%) I Am Rocco
10
10/1(-150%)
(2) I Am Rocco 10/1, Closely related to bumper winner Odello but only fourth at Warwick first time out. Should know more, but looks vulnerable to a more talented rival.

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.
