UK Horse Racing Tips: Chepstow

SEA OF MYSTERY has failed to justify favouritism the last twice, at Ffos Las and Newton Abbot, but may have been freshened up by a subsequent break and the fitting of a first-time tongue-tie. Stephanie Sunshine has place claims if building on her 2m course third last month now stepped up in trip, while Get Wishing returned to form when fourth at Exeter following wind surgery and is another to consider for the minor honours.
Prediction : 1st Sea Of Mystery 2nd Stephanie Sunshine 3rd Get Wishing

HUGO'S REFLECTION opened his account over 2m5f at Market Rasen last month and has every chance of defying a 7lb rise on what is only his second start in handicap company and second outing over fences. Red Devil Star makes some appeal on his Fontwell third on his penultimate outing and can fight it out for the silver medal with Briac, who didn't seem to see out 3m at Southwell last time and could appreciate this drop back in trip.
Prediction : 1st Hugos Reflection 2nd Red Devil Star 3rd Briac

OLEG gained experience on the Flat before placing over hurdles at Pau and has improved again in this sphere. He made a winning start for Paul Nicholls when landing a similar contest at Kelso last month and is expected to defy a penalty this afternoon. Khage commands respect after bolting up over C&D last time and is expected to show up well, while Jimmy The Digger has solid claims if none the worse for his tumble at Sandown.
Prediction : 1st Oleg 2nd Khage 3rd Jimmy The Digger

BARBROOK STAR won well at Wincanton last month and that form suggests that a 7lb rise in the ratings may not be enough to stop him from taking this contest as well. Snuff Box took a step in the right direction when filling second place at Exeter a few weeks ago and he could give the selection the most to think about, ahead of Stockburn and Lord In Red.
Prediction : 1st Barbrook Star 2nd Snuff Box 3rd Lord In Red

GREGARIOUS, who won on good ground at Carlisle in February, did not handle heavy ground at Fontwell last time out and if the rain stays away then he could return to winning ways this afternoon. Cilaos Glace got off the mark last time out in a Fontwell maiden hurdle and he merit respect off what should be a workable mark. The Raven Master is entitled to improve for his recent return to action and he is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Gregarious 2nd Cilaos Glace 3rd The Raven Master

CHURCH HALL was not at his best last time out but his previous C&D victory in January gives the veteran a big chance this afternoon. The Lion Dancer was a prolific winner last year and he has to be respected, although the 356-day break is a big concern. The shortlist for this contest is completed by Farm The Rock and Royal Palladium.
Prediction : 1st Church Hall 2nd The Lion Dancer 3rd Farm The Rock

IS A REAL CHAMP made a promising start to his racing career when finishing second in an Irish point-to-point last November and he makes plenty of appeal on his Rules debut today. Jelski was out of his depth at Cheltenham last time out but is a player based on his previous victory at Ffos Las. Others to note are Wye Aye and Eros.
Prediction : 1st Is A Real Champ 2nd Jelski 3rd Eros
