(1) Kentucky Bluegrass 0.25/1, Has shown improved form when winning both starts this year, defying a penalty in 7-runner minor event at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm, 7/2) 32 days ago. The one to beat on his handicap debut.

Placed in C&D novice last month but safely held on subsequent handicap debut.
LTO Selection:

18:00 Chepstow Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

KENTUCKY BLUEGRASS has stepped forward with each start to date and arrives having backed up his breakthrough Redcar victory under a penalty at Lingfield. Connections have found him an excellent opportunity to land the hat-trick on his handicap bow, especially with both rivals having something to prove. Storymaker appeared to have a valid excuse for her Wolverhampton defeat, returning with a wound on her right fore, and she may be the main danger. Dagmar Run completes the trio if turned out again following his fourth at Doncaster on Thursday.

After 6 months off (had been gelded), KENTUCKY BLUEGRASS left his debut form well behind when winning at Redcar in May, before following up under a penalty at Lingfield a month later. He can land the hat-trick and get the better of Storymaker, who had an excuse for her run last time.

David O'Meara's KENTUCKY BLUEGRASS is unbeaten this season and has been found a very good chance to make a winning handicap debut.

Unexposed after only four runs but was last of 11 on recent handicap debut (6f).
LTO Selection:

18:35 Chepstow Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

BAMA LAMA returned to winning ways here over 6f on Monday and, despite carrying a 5lb penalty, Rod Millman's mare appears capable of backing that performance up. Sabah Al Ward produced her best effort so far when third at Lingfield and she should be in the mix if performing to that level again. Port Noir scored here last month and has claims, while Kyber Crystal was behind the selection earlier in the week but struck over C&D prior to that.

Turned out again quickly, PORT NOIR recorded her second victory of the year when winning here last time and she can score again with Taylor Fisher retaining the ride. Bama Lama also arrives on the back of a course win having been successful 4 days ago, so she is feared most under a penalty, ahead of Bluebell Time.

This can go to BLUEBELL TIME (nap), who drops in grade after a respectable sixth at Newbury eight days ago and remains on a good mark.

Won off reduced mark over C&D last month and 3lb rise ought be manageable.

Convincing AW winner in May, after a break, but well beaten since; too unreliable.

Just a respectable fourth of seven over C&D on stable debut; needs to find extra.
LTO Selection:

19:10 Chepstow Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Deacs Delight has stepped forward on his last couple of starts, winning at Lingfield before going down by three-quarters of a length just four days later at Bath, but those efforts came in classified events and he is now back in handicap company. With that in mind, the vote goes to LUCIDITY, who has improved since going handicapping and the drop from 1m2f is unlikely to be an inconvenience. C&D winner Kenstone and Bantry appeal most of the remainder.

DEACS DELIGHT has been in good form of late, running well behind one who had the run of things from the front at Bath 16 days ago, so he is taken to resume winning ways back in handicap company. Kenstone scored with a bit in hand at this C&D last month and could be thereabouts once more, while Lucidity also merits consideration.

It's worth giving another chance to BANTRY, who didn't fire last time but was a clear second to a next-time-out winner here in May.

Clearcut AW winner last month and still unexposed over 7f; leading contender.

Shaped with some promise in AW novice last month; now makes turf/handicap debut.
LTO Selection:

19:45 Chepstow Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

BOOM BOOM POW has proved a different proposition since being upped to 7f by her new trainer and recorded a ready success at Kempton last month. A 7lb hike may not be enough to prevent Jo Davis' filly from gaining a first victory on turf. Twilight Dancer returned to form with a respectable third on her reappearance at Brighton last week and is feared most, ahead of handicap debutant King Elvis. Hitched is an obvious contender if making a swift reappearance following Wednesday's Yarmouth second.

HITCHED confirmed the improvement shown here in June when runner-up at Yarmouth on Wednesday and this looks an excellent opportunity for him to get back to winning ways provided it doesn't come too soon. Boom Boom Pow is feared most.

Topweight BOOM BOOM POW enjoyed a revival for a different stable last month and remains very well handicapped on some of her 2yo form.

Placed at 66-1 on AW in March but in rear throughout on next outing; hard to predict.
LTO Selection:

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

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

SAVALAS was unable to complete a 6f course double when staying on into third last time, but he could be suited by a stiffer test now and may prove worth chancing off the same mark. Red Alert has been in good form at Brighton of late and is another to consider, while Letter Of The Law won't be lacking for stamina on this drop in trip and is dangerous to discount, especially if attempting to make all.

RED ALERT may be a 9-y-o but he's completely unexposed at 7f and remains of interest having had little go right in his pursuit of the hat-trick at Brighton 17 days ago. Savalas is going through a good spell and can provide the main threat.

Tony Carroll's veteran RED ALERT is much better known as a sprinter but he stays 7f perfectly well and gets the nod here.

LTO Selection:

20:55 Chepstow Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

TURNER GIRL appeared to travel more kindly in first-time cheekpieces when worn down late on over 1m6f at Catterick last month, and a first success of the season could be on the cards now returned to 1m4f. Pfingstberg is a lightly-raced three-year-old who likely has more to offer in handicaps this season and David Simcock's gelding is one to be wary of after just four starts to date. Geelong can't be discounted off his tumbling mark.

A lightly-raced profile provides hope that PFINGSTBERG may not have reached his limit so he gets the vote to build on his Yarmouth handicap debut third. Turner Girl is the obvious threat.

Ed Dunlop's TURNER GIRL has been knocking on the door and Taylor Fisher's useful 5lb claim might make the crucial difference today.

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.
