Enzos Angel

3
3/1(+57%)
(4) Enzos Angel 3/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in February. Below form ninth of 15 in handicap (16/5) at Chelmsford City (10f) 26 days ago. Claims if bouncing back, albeit he didn't show much in a handful of runs on turf last season.
Capable off this mark on AW but has achieved little in seven turf starts.

Flame Of Kodiac

66
66/1(-313%)
(3) Flame Of Kodiac 66/1, Ninth of 11 in handicap (100/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f). Off 6 months and it's probably best to look elsewhere.
Struggled in three runs for new connections having been picked up for 12,000gns last July.

Believe You Me

4
4/1(+33%)
(6) Believe You Me 4/1, Course winner. Eighth of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to soft, 10/1) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and wouldn't be without a chance if he were to put her best foot forward.
Stable form could be better but she's entitled to have come on from her recent comeback.

(9) Mayz 10/3, Good third of 8 in handicap at Brighton (8f, good, 15/2) 13 days ago, running on late. Can make presence felt.
Nothing wrong with her recent Brighton third (good) off this mark; holds leading claims.

11/2(+31%)
(1) Glencalvie 11/2, Latest win at Yarmouth in April. 9/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 24 days ago. Likely to find one or two too good.
Had excuses on soft ground latest; had previously won off 3lb lower and should do better.

Rose Fandango

10
10/1(-67%)
(2) Rose Fandango 10/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in April. 16/1, good fifth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 19 days ago. Blinkers back on and she's in with an each-way shout.
Gets away with this trip but it does seem to stretch her; Rossa Ryan is a positive booking.

Eye Of The Water

7/2(+0%)
(5) Eye Of The Water 7/2, Good second of 10 in handicap (17/2) at Bath (8f, soft) 16 days ago. Repeat of that would put him in the picture.
A few near-misses to his name here and any rain will work in his favour; shortlisted.

Khangai

4/1(+60%)
(7) Khangai 4/1, Course winner. 4/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f). Off 145 days. Back down in trip and others make more appeal from a win point of view this time.
Best efforts have come under aggressive rides over 1m2f; this trip is the obvious worry.

33/1(-230%)
(8) Long Call 33/1, 33/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Brighton (9.9f, good) 13 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.
Veteran whose wins last summer came over 1m4f/hurdles; this trip is an absolute minimum.

17:40 Chepstow Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

MAYZ rallied well to reach the frame at Brighton earlier this month and a similar level of performance could see John Gallagher's filly come home in front. Eye Of The Water, runner-up at Bath last time out, looks to be a big threat though, while Glencalvie will appreciate the return to a sounder surface and should not be underestimated either.

The vote goes to MAYZ, who put in good late work when second off this mark at Brighton recently and the return to a stiffer track will be in her favour. Eye of The Water has to be feared on the back of his solid Bath effort last time and he is second choice. Rose Fandango could have a part to play, particularly if the going is good or faster but Enzos Angel, though respected on the basis of his all-weather form, has a bit to prove back on turf.

The vote goes to MAYZ, who was back to form last time and won't mind any rain. Eye Of The Water rates the main danger.

(7) Racing Demon 12/1, Unreliable type. C&D winner. Ninth of 10 in handicap at Bath (8f, soft, 7/1) 16 days ago, very slowly away. Readily passed over.
Back on a winning mark but it's hard to know where his head's at and he is very risky now.

(9) Star Of St James 16/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 9 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 11/1) 15 days ago. Must improve.
String of moderate efforts on the AW in recent times; looks to be on the downgrade.

Albus Anne

5
5/1(+29%)
(8) Albus Anne 5/1, Bit below form fourth of 15 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, soft, 11/2), not ideally placed. Off 6 months and much depends on whether she is raring to go (will be a threat if fully tuned-up).
Went close first time out last spring and resumes on a workable mark; this trip a minimum.

4th (1) Thoughtful Gift (8/1 -129%)
Thoughtful Gift

8/1(-129%)
(1) Thoughtful Gift 8/1, Three wins from 6 runs this year. Bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Bath (8f, soft, 5/2) 16 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.
Soft ground the issue last time; this mark may well be within range if the weather holds.
6
5th (6) Bantry (6/4 +25%)
Bantry

1.5
6/4(+25%)
(6) Bantry 6/4, One win from 2 runs this year. Improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap (6/1) at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) 18 days ago, very slowly away. 6 lb rise fair enough on the face of it and should be in the mix.
Can miss the break and/or pull hard but the hood has helped and his claims are obvious.

Ravenglass

(3) Ravenglass 9/2, Twenty-two runs since last win in 2022. 3/1, good second of 9 in handicap at Bath (8f, soft) 16 days ago. Expected to be bang there once again.
Losing run up to 22 but his latest Bath second has been boosted by the winner following up.
2
7th (2) Ceilidh (17/2 -42%)
Ceilidh

8.5
17/2(-42%)
(2) Ceilidh 17/2, 9/2, below form 7¼ lengths sixth of 12 to Thoughtful Gift in handicap at Brighton (7f, good) 24 days ago. Should come on for that run and he has to enter calculations.
Comeback effort may be best overlooked; won't mind any rain and should do better.
5

Lilandra

40
40/1(-100%)
(5) Lilandra 40/1, C&D winner. Tenth of 12 in handicap (28/1) at Bath (8f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Opposable on the back of that low-key effort.
May need help from the handicapper before competitive, finishing well beaten on comeback.

18:10 Chepstow Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

In an open contest, only a tentative vote can go to BANTRY. John O'Shea's gelding made it 17th time lucky when winning at Doncaster last month, but he did it in comfortable fashion and there might be more to come, despite a 6lb hike in the ratings. Ravenglass continues to run well in defeat and is unlikely to be far away, while Ceilidh and Lilandra are a couple of others to consider.

Though his losing run is mounting up, RAVENGLASS has found just one too good on each of his last two starts at Bath and the 5-y-o is taken to deservedly get his head back in front. Ceilidh was only sixth in the Brighton handicap won by Thoughtful Gift last month but he was returning from a seven-month absence that day and, with that run under his belt, George Baker's charge is taken to reverse those placings and emerge as the main danger. Recent Doncaster winner Bantry is also shortlisted.

This can go to BANTRY, who's bounced back for wind surgery and a hood going on. Ceilidh won't mind rain and is also considered.

55,000euros early foal who holds a couple of sales-race entries; a likely looking newcomer.

18:40 Chepstow Maiden (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Sonic Si sets the form standard following two solid efforts, but BANTZ, a 45,000gns purchase and a half-brother to the speedy Ziggy's Dream, herself a winner on debut, might be the answer. William Haggas hasn't had many juvenile runners this season, but the son of Kodiac commands the utmost respect on his racecourse bow. Vingegaard is another likely type on paper and he is seriously considered, while market support should be noted for Cayman Tai.

VINGEGAARD makes plenty of appeal on paper for a yard that often has them ready to go first time out, so he's the choice before market clues. Bantz and Cayman Tai are two other likely types on paper and strong market support for either of that pair would put a slightly different slant on matters.

There's a good chance this goes to a newcomer, with VINGEGAARD, an early foal whose trainer does well with 2yos here, a likely type.

A win and two seconds over C&D last summer; 5lb penalty puts her on a career-high mark.

19:10 Chepstow Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

The key to this race could be the recent clash at Bath between Under Curfew (first) and JOY CHOI (second), with the latter taken to come out on top of this occasion. Malcolm Saunders' mare is 4lb better off for a head defeat on that occasion, and a return to better ground should suit at a track where she has won before. A determined winner at Windsor last week on her return to turf, Jacquelina is entitled to be thereabouts as well.

The consistent JOY CHOI enjoys a handy pull at the weights with Under Curfew, who she was narrowly beaten by at Bath last week. The 6-y-o should exact her revenge on these revised terms and while Under Curfew may again be on the premises, a bigger threat this time could be provided by Notre Maison, who shaped well on her reappearance on the all-weather three weeks ago. Jacquelina scored at Windsor recently but needs to pull out more under a penalty here.

4lb better off with the penalised Under Curfew from Bath last Monday, JOY CHOI (nap) can come out on top.

19:40 Chepstow Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Denied by the narrowest of margins at Salisbury last time out and runner-up at Bath already this season, CONNIE'S ROSE deserves a change in luck and stepping up in trip might help to make the difference. An unlucky fourth when stumbling leaving the stalls at Windsor, Beyond Equal is on a long losing streak but is capable on his day, while Hiatus arrives on the back of a highly creditable second at Haydock last month. Others to note include Airshow, Big Bard and Vape.

Several to consider in this competitive handicap but, that said, CONNIE'S ROSE rates a pretty confident selection on the back of a recent near miss off this mark at Salisbury where she pulled clear of the third. Stepping back up to 6f will be no bad thing and the booking of Hollie Doyle adds to her appeal. Next on the list is Big Bard, while Some Nightmare is third choice ahead of Hiatus and Beyond Equal. Don't rule out prominent showings from Heartrate and Jax Edge either.

Beyond Equal is on the shortlist but three-time C&D winner SOME NIGHTMARE has a lot in his favour back in headgear.

20:10 Chepstow Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

PORT NOIR was unlucky not to finish closer to the eventual winner after enduring a luckless passage when finishing third over 7f at Wolverhampton last month. Eased 1lb, she gets the vote to go two places better this time around. Marchetti has the ability to play a hand in a race of this nature, while Ibiza Rocks merits a second look sporting a first-time visor.

LETTER OF THE LAW bounced back to form despite making his effort earlier than ideal when runner-up at Brighton last month, so he's the percentage call to go one better. Ibiza Rocks, Port Noir and Stella Hogan are a trio of others with claims in a competitive low-grade affair.

John O'Shea won a division of this last year with ROMANOVICH, who can follow up at the expense of Fact Or Fable.

10/1(-82%)
(1) The Pug 10/1, Unreliable type. Creditable third of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 14/1) 40 days ago, running on. Back up in trip and it remains to be seen if he'll back that up now returned to turf.
Tom Marquand boasts a decent record for the yard but the switch to turf is the unknown.

11/1(-69%)
(8) Starfighter 11/1, 9/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 36 days ago. That wasn't one of his better runs but effort at Kempton on penultimate start was decent and a reproduction of that would put him firmly in the picture.
Will always be reliant on a good pace but capable off this mark if things fall his way.

(7) Cherryhawk 2/1, 20/1, first run since leaving Dominic Ffrench Davis when creditable second of 11 in handicap at Bath (11.6f, soft) 16 days ago. Likely to make a bold bid to go one better here.
Solid debut for her new yard from the front recently (soft); entitled to come on from that.

(4) Taritino 6/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 12/1, respectable seventh of 16 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (16.5f, good) 20 days ago. Latest effort in this sphere was respectable but not good enough to suggest he'll be up to winning this.
Goes beyond 1m2f for the first time and stamina to prove; temptation is to look elsewhere.

Fairly treated back on turf and a good test over this trip should be fine; player.

(2) Adrian 7/1, 16/1, last of 4 in handicap at Ayr (15f, good) 12 days ago. Dropped 5 lb on the back of that but this 7-y-o is worth taking on all the same.
The handicapper's easing off quickly but he's still hard to recommend.

(3) Louisiana Bay 7/2, Latest win at Lingfield in April. 5/6, respectable second of 10 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 32 days ago. Well held sole previous start on turf, which is a worry, but she will be a threat if able to replicate her recent AW form now back on grass.
Favourite for seven of her eight AW runs this year; needs to prove she can do it on turf.

Tried in cheekpieces after another poor effort over hurdles; would be a surprise winner.

His four Flat wins have come over 1m6f-2m; nothing to suggest he's best caught fresh.

20:40 Chepstow Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

The largely consistent CHERRYHAWK made a pleasing seasonal reappearance when finishing second over an extended 1m3f at Bath last month and she is capable of going one better. Merry Minister was collared in the shadows of the post at Chelmsford most recently and is likely to be competitive once again, while Louisiana Bay scored with plenty in hand on her penultimate start at Lingfield and may have found a quick turnaround too much under a 5lb penalty at Southwell the following week.

It could be worth chancing STARFIGHTER, who hasn't scored on turf for the best part of two years but he's able to ply his trade off a pretty attractive mark these days and the 8-y-o shaped as though his turn was near when third at Kempton on his penultimate start. Cherryhawk put in a good shift on debut for new yard at Bath recently and she is feared most. If Louisiana Bay is able to back up her recent all-weather form now returned to turf she will be a threat, too.

More questions than answers but perhaps STARFIGHTER will get a decent pace to track back on turf. Rain would suit Cherryhawk.

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.
