The Bluesman

0.8
4/5(+100%)
(8) The Bluesman 4/5, Expensive recruit from points and made short work of 3 rivals second time up in bumpers here 7 months ago. Has had a breathing operation since and good prospect for hurdling.
Course bumper winner who is likely to make his make over hurdles sooner rather than later.

Western Article

50
50/1(-52%)
(15) Western Article 50/1, £20,000 purchase in the spring after finishing second in an Irish point on debut, was sent off at long odds but showed ability switched to hurdling at Exeter (66/1) 4 weeks ago.
Shaped well before fading into fourth on last month's hurdle debut at Exeter; e-w claims.

Prophesea

12
12/1(+52%)
(6) Prophesea 12/1, Successful pointer who made a winning debut under Rules in an Exeter bumper in April. Shaped as if needing the run on hurdles debut for new yard over C&D 3 weeks ago and should improve.
Unable to justify good market support when soundly beaten over C&D on stable/hurdle debut.

Murphy's Milan

8
8/1(-7%)
(4) Murphy's Milan 8/1, Bred to stay well and plenty of promise in Exeter bumper and good C&D novice hurdle 6 months apart. Can surely win races, especially when upped in trip.
Made promising hurdle debut when fourth over C&D last month; considered each-way.
7
5th (7) Seatoit (7/1 -75%)
Seatoit

7
7/1(-75%)
(7) Seatoit 7/1, Reached the frame in 2 Irish bumpers at the end of last year and having changed hands for £120,000 in January, shaped as if needing the run at Cheltenham starting out for Kim Bailey (sent off favourite). One to note now hurdling, bred to stay well.
Disappointed on recent stable debut but looked very promising in Irish bumpers last year.

Far From Over

33
33/1(+0%)
(2) Far From Over 33/1, £4,250 3-y-o, Valirann gelding. Dam, unraced, closely related to fair 21f hurdle winner Once And Always. Dual point winner, third latest start in May 2023. Work to do on hurdles debut.
Dual point winner; has a future under rules but makes hurdle debut after long layoff.
1
7th (1) Espoir Des Forges (9/2 -29%)
Espoir Des Forges

4.5
9/2(-29%)
(1) Espoir Des Forges 9/2, Made a very promising start over hurdles in 19f Warwick maidens in the spring, finding only a Willie Mullins-trained rival who'd taken in such races as a Greatwood and Betfair Hurdle too good when last seen. Should go well on return.
Placed in pair of 2m3f Warwick maidens in the spring; probably won't be far away.
12
8th (12) English Willow (80/1 -300%)
English Willow

80
80/1(-300%)
(12) English Willow 80/1, Telescope mare. Half-sister to bumper winner/modest hurdler Little Else. Dam 2m-2¾m hurdle/chase winner. One to note on debut given pedigree and connections (1 of 2 runners for yard).
Out of a fair hurdle/chase winner for these connections; makes her debut here.

Following Chapter

150
150/1(-127%)
(10) Following Chapter 150/1, Pether's Moon gelding. Dam, multiple point winner, sister to fairly useful chaser (barely stayed 3½m) Following Dreams.
First foal from a three-time point winner; seems unlikely to meet the standard required.

12:30 Chepstow Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

The Bluesman ended last season in bumpers with a dominant display at this venue. Paul Nicholls' charge scored by 14 lengths that day and he must enter calculations on his hurdles bow. However, ESPOIR DES FORGES has hit the frame on both appearances over timber and that experience could prove crucial. Seatoit is another who is making his first appearance over the smaller obstacles and it will be interesting to see if his supporters return after a slightly underwhelming 10th at Cheltenham last month.

THE BLUESMAN won a 4-runner bumper here when last seen in April and looks a good hurdles prospect for Paul Nicholls. He's preferred to Espoir des Forges and Nube de Trueno in a maiden where the betting could be revealing.

The Bluesman is respected but SEATOIT is taken to deliver on promise shown in Irish bumpers last year.

Ryan's Rocket

4
4/1(-33%)
(1) Ryan's Rocket 4/1, £110,000 Irish point winner who has made a very bright start over hurdles, winning novices around 2m at Taunton and Kempton in the spring. Disappointed when fourth in Grade 2 Persian War here on return last month but he remains a good prospect now chasing/stepping back in trip.
Won Irish point in 2022 and two 2m novice hurdles in the spring; handicap/chase debut.

2nd (7) Lucky Lugger (9/1 -6%)
Lucky Lugger

9
9/1(-6%)
(7) Lucky Lugger 9/1, Standout effort over hurdles came when third in a C&D maiden in April. Easy to back, ran well on first try chasing when second of 5 in C&D novices' handicap 16 days ago, clear of remainder. Feasible to think he can do better again in this sphere.
Improved on very modest form when 2nd in a C&D novice handicap chase latest; can improve.
2
3rd (2) Western General (9/2 -29%)
Western General

4.5
9/2(-29%)
(2) Western General 9/2, Hurdles winner who confirmed previous chase promise and more following wind op/6 months off when readily taking 7-runner Newton Abbot handicap (16.3f) 23 days ago. This undoubtedly rates tougher but he remains with potential to progress further in this sphere.
Won in good style at Newton Abbot back from break; 8lb higher mark may not be excessive.
3
4th (3) Hasthing (7/2 +22%)
Hasthing

3.5
7/2(+22%)
(3) Hasthing 7/2, Smart in bumpers and bright start over hurdles last winter, winning first 2 starts in novice company. Well backed, could only manage sixth in EBF Final on handicap debut at Sandown (19.8f) in March but overall profile suggests he's one to be interested in now chasing on return.
Won two hurdles at 2m4f last winter; 2m a minimum but has handicap potential now chasing.
4
5th (4) Just Over Land (11/4 +21%)
Just Over Land

2.75
11/4(+21%)
(4) Just Over Land 11/4, Consistent sort over hurdles last season and bright start in this sphere after 6 months off when second of 8 in handicap at Ffos Las (2m) 6 weeks ago. Likely improver with that under his belt and he looks sure to give another good account.
Hurdle winner who took well to fences when 2nd at Ffos Las (2m); can achieve more.
5
6th (5) Gris Majeur (25/1 -39%)
Gris Majeur

25
25/1(-39%)
(5) Gris Majeur 25/1, Point/bumper winner who capitalised on falling mark when registering a third career success over hurdles at Hereford (21.7f) in October. Not in same form when fourth at Warwick 17 days ago and this looks a hot enough chase introduction.
Irish point winner; three 2m5f hurdle wins; lesser effort latest; chase debut back at 2m.
8
7th (8) Jackpot Cash (28/1 -100%)
Jackpot Cash

28
28/1(-100%)
(8) Jackpot Cash 28/1, Cokoriko gelding. Not without promise in 2 of his 4 starts over hurdles, equipped with a first-time hood when fourth of 13 in a Southwell maiden (15.8f) back in May. Interesting connections make a quick switch to chasing for handicap debut and the betting should guide.
In the frame in 3 of 4 hurdles; first handicap/chase; likely that easier options await.
6

Rangatira Jack

40

(6) Rangatira Jack 40/1, Fair form without tasting success in novice/maiden hurdles last season. Well-beaten on return in a Wincanton maiden (15.2f) 26 days ago and others more persuasive now attentions switch to larger obstacles.
Showed ability in maiden hurdles; well held latest; tricky start to handicap/chase career.

13:05 Chepstow Handicap Chase (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Although disappointing when finishing a well-beaten fourth in the Persian War here last month, RYAN'S ROCKET appeared too keen for the extended 2m3f distance. The six-year-old previously completed a double over hurdles, which worked out well, and a mark of 121 on his chase debut could prove fruitful, more so reverting to 2m. Western General warrants respect racing off 8lb higher than his victory at Newton Abbot 23 days ago and he may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Just Over Land.

An interesting novices' handicap chase with a host boasting potential. RYAN'S ROCKET ran below his previous hurdles best in a Grade 2 here in October but he'd previously looked a good prospect when twice successful in the spring and, as a former point winner, he could yet get back on the up now chasing. Just Over Land, Western General and another chase debutant Hasthing are others well worthy of consideration.

Western General looked good at Newton Abbot but it's worth chancing HASTHING to make a winning start to his chase career.

The Winslow Boy

3
3/1(-50%)
(10) The Winslow Boy 3/1, Has shown promise in a bumper over hurdles, matching the better of his efforts from last season after 7 months off when third of 11 in novice at Worcester (16f, heavy) just over 5 weeks ago. Handicaps over further after this likely to be more suitable.
Improved form when 3rd at Worcester to two who have advertised the form since; considered.

Byzantium

1.1
11/10(+32%)
(4) Byzantium 11/10, Won on his only Flat start in France in autumn 2023 and having joined a top yard, moved into the race encouragingly only to be outstayed when second of 13 in novice hurdle at Taunton (16.5f, soft) back in March. Open to improvement, he could take some stopping if ready to roll (had a wind op).

Clear evidence of ability on bumper debut here in April; can do better; hooded this time.

Windsurfer

Promising in the 2nd of two Irish bumpers; likely prospect for hurdles at some stage.

As Fast As Wind

50

(12) As Fast As Wind 50/1, Fair maiden at best on the Flat in Ireland (stays 1½m) and caught the eye making late gains from an impossible position sent hurdling after 8 weeks off at Exeter last month. Failed to repeat that fitted with a hood 17 days later and others look far more obvious.
Had Flat ability in Ireland during 2023; hinted at ability in two hurdle runs for new yard.

Modest form in Irish points and way back on bumper debut (100-1) for this yard.

13:40 Chepstow Novices Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Byzantium is entitled to build on last season's hurdles bow when runner-up at Taunton, but that maiden contest hasn't worked out as hoped and the four-year-old may be worth taking on. Although penalised for his breakthrough victory at Uttoxeter 35 days ago, the Ben Case-trained WINDSURFER is entitled to build on that return to action and he looks capable of following up. The Winslow Boy arrives on the back of a respectable third at Worcester and he shouldn't be far away.

A big field but plenty of deadwood in this novice, BYZANTIUM selected to build on his hurdling debut second at Taunton back in the spring having had a breathing operation prior to his return. Windsurfer opened his account 5 months on from his hurdling debut at Uttoxeter recently, so he heads up the dangers carrying a penalty, with Diskatek and The Winslow Boy taken to fight out minor honours.

Only a few of these are likely to play a part and BYZANTIUM deserves the chance to put right a disappointing defeat on his hurdle debut.

Beaten in a selling hurdle last month and reverts to chasing on a tough mark.

14:15 Chepstow Handicap Chase (Class 3) 19f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Barring a mishap at Ayr two starts ago, BILLYTHEREALBIGRED would come into this contest unbeaten for the Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero stable. The four-year-old made a strong impression on his chase debut at Bangor last month and, with further improvement likely, he could prove hard to beat. Donnacha failed to fire when he finished third at Carlisle last time, but he is an interesting contender on his first attempt at this distance off a 2lb lower mark. Range is another to note.

Having won all 3 completed outings in handicap hurdles, BILLYTHEREALBIGRED made an impressive start over fences at Bangor last month and he can continue his progress to add to his tally. Range was in the process of showing improved form on his chase debut and could be the main danger, with Heros de Romay completing the shortlist.

A promising novice hurdler last season, RANGE was travelling well in the lead when falling on his chasing debut. He gets the vote.

14:50 Chepstow Handicap Chase (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

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

PETTY CASH occupied the runner-up berth in this grade at Stratford in May and has since undergone a wind operation. The son of Getaway shaped as if he would relish this extra distance on that occasion and could be the one to beat off 1lb lower. Haas Boy finished a well-beaten third over hurdles on his first start for the Emma Lavelle yard last month and might be able to get closer in this sphere. Zero Tolerance looks the best of the remainder.

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and Robert Walford's likeable mare COOLEENYMORE is taken to build on her encouraging Stratford fifth after a lay-off and resume winning ways. Veteran Mortens Leam could emerge as the main danger, with Petty Cash, Eceparti and Zero Tolerance also in the mix

There might still be more to come over fences from COOLEENYMORE (nap), who ran well for a long way at Stratford three weeks ago.

15:25 Chepstow Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Harry Cobden has an impressive 20-percent strike-rate when riding for Robert Walford and he could enhance that record further courtesy of LOVERDOSE. Worth more than the winning margin would suggest over 2m here last month, a step up in trip should suit the unexposed five-year-old, while a 6lb rise in the handicap does not appear overly harsh. Hidden History defeated a now 129-rated rival at Lingfield when last seen in February so he could prove far better than an opening mark of 115. Others to note include Holly Hartingo, Push To Pass and Boyles Hill.

The way LOVERDOSE got on top towards the finish over 2m here last month suggests this trip could suit and he can defy the handicapper again and complete a hat-trick. Handicap newcomers Hidden History, Push To Pass and Boyles Hill head the dangers in a competitive race.

Handicap debutant PUSH TO PASS was given quite a lot to do before keeping on steadily in a 2m novice last month and can improve here.

15:59 Chepstow NH Flat Race (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

There has been no stopping Paul Nicholls following a slow start to the season and Sinnatra appeals as a likely candidate with that in mind, but the newly-formed father and son partnership of Jonjo and A J O'Neill have started brightly too and ASSERTIVE WALK might be worth chancing. The stoutly-bred son of Walk In The Park fetched 85,000-euros as a three-year-old and, on paper at least, looks to hold a live chance. Pure Blue and Harry Bright are just two others to consider.

In a concluding bumper where the betting should be informative SINNATRA gets the vote for last year's winning stable. Harry Bright, Hillwalk, who was closing in second when falling at the last in his sole point, and Assertive Walk are other interesting runners before any market clues are known.

There are several interesting types among the newcomers, particularly SINNATRA and Assertive Walk.

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.
