UK Horse Racing Tips: Chepstow

DASHING POET was headed entering the final furlong over 1m2f at Lingfield on Saturday afternoon and should appreciate the drop to a mile. Off an unchanged mark, she has clearly come out of that handicap on Derby/Oaks Trial day in good form and the consistent mare gets the verdict. Waqt has won two of his last four starts and must enter calculations, while a big run from Sir Roderic would also come as no surprise.
Prediction : 1st Dashing Poet 2nd Waqt 3rd Sir Roderic

NOBLE FOX wasn't beaten far on his debut at Windsor last month and normal improvement makes him a big player second time up. The son of Foxwedge has much less on his plate in this novice heat and he gets the nod ahead of Doughan Alb, who struggled at Newmarket latest but is a player on his Lingfield second on debut. Itizzit has experience on her side and is noted along with Light Up Our Stars.
Prediction : 1st Noble Fox 2nd Doughan Alb 3rd Itizzit

Gold Venture won a Redcar seller on debut and is respected for a top yard, but the form of FLIPPA THE STRIPPA's third on debut in novice company at Nottingham looks stronger and she gets the nod with improvement expected. Audio has had a couple of runs at Kempton and Brighton and is very much a player despite having to give weight away to the fillies in the line-up. The jockey booking of Oisin Murphy for Ivatheengine on his introduction suggests connections are confident.
Prediction : 1st Flippa The Strippa 2nd Gold Venture 3rd Audio

TROTTER was touched off by a head over this trip at Windsor when last sighted and is expected to give another good account off this 2lb higher perch. Major Valentine has winning C&D form in the book and has place claims if building on his latest effort here off the same mark, though the main danger to the selection may be The Groove, who hinted his turn was fast approaching when beaten by under a length off 2lb lower at Salisbury recently.
Prediction : 1st Trotter 2nd The Groove 3rd Major Valentine

PANATOS scored with plenty in hand over C&D earlier in the month and a 3lb rise is unlikely to prevent him from mounting a bold bid if returning in a similar mood. Agent Gibbs has dropped to an attractive mark but needs to prove his stamina for this longer distance. A bigger threat to the selection may be Ian Williams' Mountain Rock, who is rated 120 over timber and could be nicely treated off 65 on the level.
Prediction : 1st Panatos 2nd Mountain Rock 3rd Agent Gibbs

LADY RESET won with plenty in hand when making a winning handicap debut over a mile at this track earlier in the month and a 7lb rise in the ratings for that success may underestimate her ability. Mongolia is a filly that is going in the right direction and she may have more to offer this afternoon, while Teodora De Vega is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Lady Reset 2nd Mongolia 3rd Teodora De Vega

ASCOT DAY made the frame in a similar contest over this course and distance 11 days ago and he makes plenty of appeal off a 1lb lower mark this afternoon. Iconic Girl remains unexposed over this trip and she should not be underestimated in a moderate contest such as this. The shortlist is completed by Earthly, Foresee and General Brook.
Prediction : 1st Ascot Day 2nd Iconic Girl 3rd Earthly
