Obama Army

2.75
2.75/1(+39%)
(9) Obama Army 2.75/1, Winner at Bath in May. 4/1, creditable second of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 7 days ago, not for the first time failing to put the race to bed when looking the likeliest winner. Looking risky.
Runner-up in five of his last six starts; should go well but vulnerable for win purposes.

Macs Dilemma

6/1(-33%)
(1) Macs Dilemma 6/1, 4-time course winner. Career best when winning 11-runner handicap (4/1) at this course (7.1f, good to soft) 18 days ago, well positioned. Loves it here but this trip is a step into the unknown.
4-9 at the track, but attempts 1m for the first time and isn't sure to stay.

Held in three starts since returning but back off last winning mark; can't be dismissed.

(3) Last Hoorah 6/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 22/1, creditable second of 14 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 44 days ago, well positioned. On a good mark and one to note.
0-11 in handicaps; ran well on AW last time, but could probably do with ground drying out.

(6) Valkyrian 16/1, Winner at Windsor in May. Tenth of 14 in handicap (11/1) at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 11 days ago, not clear run.
Off the mark at Windsor in May and had excuses in both starts since; could bounce back.

7th (4) Shoot To Kill (8/1 -7%)
Shoot To Kill

8/1(-7%)
(4) Shoot To Kill 8/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Good 1¼ lengths third of 11 to Macs Dilemma in handicap (6/1) at this course (7.1f, good to soft) 18 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Return to this longer trip will suit and he's one to consider.
Third behind Macs Dilemma over 7f here last time and 3lb better off; proven over 1m.

Hastily

5
5/1(-67%)
(7) Hastily 5/1, 28/1, excellent second of 13 in handicap at Naas (8f, good to firm) 30 days ago. Good chance if replicating that in this easier race.
Irish challenger who was only just beaten at Naas last time; high on the list.
LTO Selection:

17:09 Chepstow Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

MACS DILEMMA kept on determinedly to win over 7f here earlier this month, an effort for which he was subsequently raised 3lb in the handicap. Ryan Sexton negates that rise with his 3lb claim, though, and the five-year-old might have more to offer over this longer trip. Hastily struck the woodwork at Naas on her latest outing and must be respected, along with Last Hoorah, who remains well treated on the pick of last year's form.

HASTILY ran a screamer in a stronger handicap at Naas last month and the Irish raider has a good chance with a repeat of that. Shoot To Kill might be able to reverse recent course form with Macs Dilemma over this longer trip. Last Hoorah is also respected.

This can go to the lightly raced Irish challenger HASTILY (nap), who has run really well in both outings since returning last month.

Propitious

14
14/1(-56%)
(9) Propitious 14/1, Foaled March 7. €20,000 2-y-o, Eqtidaar filly. Closely related to 6f/7f winner The Cola Brasil and half-sister to 6f winner Fortunate Vision and 7f winner So Savvy. Dam maiden (stayed 1¼m). Wouldn't have to be anything out of the ordinary to figure on debut. Market should guide.
20,000euros 2yo; has three winning siblings and starts out in a weak race; check betting.
4
2nd (4) Miguel (5.5/1 +45%)
Miguel

5.5
5.5/1(+45%)
(4) Miguel 5.5/1, Foaled April 27. €10,000 foal, 10,500 gns yearling, Phoenix of Spain colt. Half-brother to 2 winners, notably useful French 9f-11f winner Bakhchisaray. Worth a precautionary market check on debut for clues.
Half-brother to 2 winners out of useful mare; yard's 2yos are going nicely; check betting.
8
3rd (8) Acer (1.38/1 +21%)
Acer

1.38
1.38/1(+21%)
(8) Acer 1.38/1, Harry Angel filly who stepped up on debut experience despite lingering signs of greenness when third of 12 in maiden at Windsor (5.1f) 25 days ago, effort 2f out and keeping on. Player with further progress distinctly possible.
Leading form claims upped to 6f but slow ground would be an unknown quantity.
7
4th (7) Surface To Air (20/1 -25%)
Surface To Air

20
20/1(-25%)
(7) Surface To Air 20/1, Lightly-raced gelding. Blinkered for 1st time tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable fourth of 10 in seller (17/2) at Leicester (6f, good to firm) 20 days ago.
Has shown enough to think he could win a small race but probably not a maiden.
11
5th (11) Ventura Empress (3.33/1 +26%)
Ventura Empress

3.33
3.33/1(+26%)
(11) Ventura Empress 3.33/1, Highland Reel filly. Dam, maiden (stayed 6f). Knew what was required and showed ability when fourth on debut in a Lingfield novice (7f, AW) last month. Seemingly not 100% 9 days later at Kempton (7f) and no surprise to see a better showing.
Both runs over 7f, shaping nicely on debut; drop to 6f can help; leading claims.

6th (6) Snow Boots (33/1 +50%)
Snow Boots

33
33/1(+50%)
(6) Snow Boots 33/1, Once-raced gelding. 125/1, hinted at ability when seventh of 8 in minor event at Newbury (6f, good to firm) on debut 22 days ago. This ought to reveal more.
Showed clear promise in better race at Newbury on debut (6f; 125-1); longer-term prospect.
3
7th (3) Haya Taal (7/1 -75%)
Haya Taal

7
7/1(-75%)
(3) Haya Taal 7/1, Fair form when second on debut in a Kempton maiden (7f) in June but not in same form when seventh of 12 in novice event at Newbury (6f) 10 days ago, despite being better placed than most. Cheekpieces go on now and not out of things if bouncing back.
Promising debut (7f) but no progress dropped to 6f last time; headgear now given a go.
2
8th (2) Danehill Star (40/1 -21%)
Danehill Star

40
40/1(-21%)
(2) Danehill Star 40/1, Foaled April 11. Ten Sovereigns colt. Dam, maiden (stayed 1m), half-sister to useful winner up to 1m Light Up Our World.
Dam a fair maiden from a good family; yard not renowned for winning 2yo newcomers.
10
9th (10) Tentatively (18/1 -50%)
Tentatively

18
18/1(-50%)
(10) Tentatively 18/1, Twice-raced filly. 80/1, sixth of 11 in minor event at Lingfield (6f, good) 10 days ago, outpaced halfway but taking the eye with her finishing effort. Will be suited by 7f/nurseries moving forward on that evidence.
Second run was better than her first and she's a contender granted another step forward.
5
10th (5) Regal Fighter (28/1 +15%)
Regal Fighter

28
28/1(+15%)
(5) Regal Fighter 28/1, Thrice-raced colt. 18/1, fifth of 6 in maiden at this C&D (good to firm) 42 days ago, in rear and never involved. Nurseries entitled to be more his bag.
Modest form in three starts and significant improvement is required.
1
11th (1) Cable Strike (80/1 -142%)
Cable Strike

80
80/1(-142%)
(1) Cable Strike 80/1, Foaled April 20. Prince of Lir gelding. Dam maiden. Rates a likely outsider on racecourse bow.
Only minor appeal on paper; yard 1-17 with 2yos this year; likely best watched.
LTO Selection:

17:40 Chepstow Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

ACER finished behind a pair of subsequent winners when a good third at Windsor earlier this month and Clive Cox's filly could be a tough nut to crack if running to a similar level here. Haya Taal failed to build on a promising debut effort but he could improve for the addition of cheekpieces. Archie Watson is doubly represented by Ventura Empress and newcomer Propitious. With Hollie Doyle appearing to prefer the former, she could be the pick of the pair.

Despite still showing signs of greenness, ACER stepped up a good deal on her debut run when third in a 12-runner Windsor maiden 25 days ago and, with potential for better still, she gets the nod to come out on top. Ventura Empress and Haya Taal head up the dangers.

Tentatively and Acer are of some interest but dropping to 6f can see VENTURA EMPRESS take a step forward.

Starry Eyes

4
4/1(-45%)
(8) Starry Eyes 4/1, Modest mare. Twenty five runs since last win in 2021. 11/2, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 25 days ago, left poorly placed. Has to be taken seriously.
Just 2-44 but drops to this level for the first time and has a good chance at the weights.

(11) Stamford Blue 6/1, Modest colt. Creditable fourth of 14 in minor event (22/1) at Bath (8f, good) 2 days ago.
Unplaced all ten starts; fourth at Bath on Wednesday and each-way claims on that form.

(10) Kirikiriroa 2.75/1, Modest filly. Blinkered for 1st time, seventh of 15 in handicap at Bellewstown (7.9f, good to soft, 16/1) 22 days ago.
Held in six starts but this is a drop in grade; market confidence would be interesting.

(5) Latent Heat 3.5/1, Temperamental sort. Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. Good fourth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 4/1) 9 days ago. Not discounted.

(4) Gonzaga 25/1, Poor gelding. Remains a maiden after 45 Flat runs. Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap (40/1) at this course (7.1f, good to firm) 8 days ago, nearest finish.
Close fourth in a handicap here eight days ago but that took his record to 0-45.

Not beaten that far in a similar contest here last month but still hard to fancy.

Out of the frame in eight starts for this yard; of interest only if popular in the market.
LTO Selection:

18:15 Chepstow Stakes (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

STARRY EYES didn't look the easiest of rides when finishing a creditable fourth at Windsor 25 days ago, but Brett Johnson's mare has an excellent chance on these terms and she is fancied to strike dropped into classified company. Latent Heat is likely to figure following a series of consistent efforts, while the Johnny Murtagh-trained Kirikiriroa appeals most of the remainder.

STARRY EYES' slow starts are not ideal but it may not matter in a race this weak. Kirikiriroa and Latent Heat are feared most.

The vote goes to STARRY EYES who wasn't beaten far in a Windsor handicap this month and drops to this level for the first time.

(2) Straits Of Moyle 2.5/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. First run since leaving Richard Fahey when good third of 11 in handicap (10/1) at Nottingham (5f, soft) 10 days ago. Has to be taken seriously off the same mark.
Ran well for 3rd on recent stable debut (5f, soft); one to consider at this level.

Three wins this year, two over C&D; below best last time but can bounce back quickly.

Low-key return from long absence three weeks ago; something to prove now handicapping.
LTO Selection:

18:50 Chepstow Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

STRAITS OF MOYLE was not beaten far at all when third at Nottingham 10 days ago and Robert Cowell's gelding could be hard to beat off the same mark here. Amor De Mi Vida has also been running well in defeat of late and could prove to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of Kyber Crystal and Connie's Rose.

STRAITS OF MOYLE made a promising start for his new yard when runner-up at Nottingham and is taken to go one better now off an unchanged mark. Therehegoes and Kyber Crystal appeal as the duo to give Robert Cowell's new recruit most to do and can chase him home in that order.

Straits Of Moyle ran well on his stable debut but course regular CONNIE'S ROSE may be the answer.

Three-figure prices for all three starts and pulled hard each time; handicap debut.
LTO Selection:

19:20 Chepstow Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

MOONDIAL was a winner at Salisbury two starts ago and she followed that up with a respectable effort at Kempton last time. A reproduction of either of those efforts would give the daughter of Time Test a big chance in this moderate event. Phoenix Glow failed to fire when last seen but is a player based on her previous form, while similar comments apply to Coral Reef.

MOONDIAL is the only one who arrives in good form and is taken to resume winning ways at the possible expense of Coral Reef, who should benefit from the return of blinkers. Phoenix Glow is another one to consider.

Moondial ran the best race last time but she has a bit to prove on the ground, whereas CORAL REEF may appreciate getting her toe in.

19:55 Chepstow Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Savalas has to be respected having scored over 6f here in June and the veteran may improve for the step up in trip. That said, preference is for SAPPHIRE'S MOON, who bounced back to form when a head second off this mark over C&D last week and she is 2lb well in here. Dulcet Spirit edges out Revolutionary Man to be best of the rest.

SAPPHIRE'S MOON is a long time without a win but signalled she's ready to go in again when a very good C&D second last time out so can go one better now at the chief expense of course-winner Savalas and in-form duo Dulcet Spirit and Letter of The Law.

A chance is taken that THEWAYTOTHESTARS can build on a better effort last time and conditions won't faze her.

LTO Selection:

20:25 Chepstow Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

SYMPATHISE is 3lb higher than her most recent victory at Ffos Las, where she had a subsequent winner back in second, and she looks set to possibly bring up the four-timer. Kenstone is a live danger after his success here over a mile and he should have no issues with this trip, while Galileo Glass looks feasibly treated to have a say.

SYMPATHISE showed some wayward tendencies on her most recent outing, but her progress is hard to ignore and a 3 lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent the 4-timer. Bantry will prove a big threat if returning to his reappearance/stable debut form, while last-time-out winner Kenstone remains well treated on past exploits.

The vote goes to SYMPATHISE who remains unexposed after just seven starts and has been in irresistible form lately.

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.
