UK Horse Racing Tips: Chepstow

THE ESTABLISHMENT thrived on his return to turf here in May when second off this rating over 6f and following that encouraging run, makes plenty of appeal up in trip. Masquerade Bling wasn't beaten far in Jersey last time and competes off the same mark as when third at Wolverhampton before that. Gold Hunter only went down by half a length at this venue on his latest outing and is also respected.
Prediction : 1st The Establishment 2nd Masquerade Bling 3rd Gold Hunter

Dramatic Sands looked useful when second on debut at Yarmouth and should find this easier than the Chesham he took part in subsequently. However, a chance is taken on Michael Bell's Toronado newcomer CLOUD DRIFT, who is related to plenty of winners and this looks a good starting point. David Evans' debutants Gypsy Rosaleen and Lets Go Lucky are worth a market check, while London Calling has hinted at ability in his two outings so far.
Prediction : 1st Cloud Drift 2nd Dramatic Sands 3rd London Calling

WILD FLOWER caught the eye here over 5f on her first turf appearance of the season and first outing for 79 days. She moves back up to her optimum distance and is 6lb lower than her last winning rating. Aquadabra was just over a length ahead of the selection in second last time so must be feared, while others to keep in mind are C&D winners Jacksonfire and Brother Bentley, with the latter the pick of Ron Harris' duo.
Prediction : 1st Wild Flower 2nd Aquadabra 3rd Brother Bentley

ST IVES took a step in the right direction when third over this trip at York and is a sporting pick in a contest in which none of the runners can be ruled out. Huboor should be all the wiser for the experience gained in a soft-ground contest on debut at Yarmouth and could take closer order, while any money for Charlie Hills' newcomer Fleeting Prince, a 70,000-pound son of No Nay Never, would be worth noting.
Prediction : 1st St Ives 2nd Huboor 3rd Fleeting Prince

So Near So Farhh failed to justify favouritism over a similar trip at Lingfield and hasn't progressed as hoped this season. Of more interest is C&D winner AKAVIT, who has dropped 9lb below his last winning mark and hinted his turn was approaching again when fourth at Kempton last week. The pick of the remainder may be Mere Anarchy, a 109-rated hurdler who was below his best at Lingfield but could appreciate the return to decent ground.
Prediction : 1st Akavit 2nd So Near So Farhh 3rd Mere Anarchy

ADMIRALS BAY landed the spoils at Yarmouth before soft ground proved his undoing at Newbury, and Andrew Balding's charge is fancied to resume his progression now back on a sounder surface and dropped in class. He makes slightly greater appeal than Sea Art, who just found one too good at Salisbury and remains fairly treated off a mark of 65. Narina also warrants a second glance on her handicap debut.
Prediction : 1st Admirals Bay 2nd Sea Art 3rd Narina

NABVUTIKA showed some signs of encouragement when third at Yarmouth and looks to have a race in her off this low mark of 51. The step back up in trip is unlikely to prove an inconvenience, and she won't get too many better chances than this to strike. All Right could take a step forward on her first foray outside of novice company off a favourable opening figure, while No Trouble might improve now wearing a visor for the first time.
Prediction : 1st Nabvutika 2nd All Right 3rd No Trouble
