UK Horse Racing Tips: Chepstow

Love Lane made an encouraging start to her chasing career when second to If You Say Run at Wincanton and could have a part to play. The consistent Twasn't The Plan has been knocking on the door and requires plenty of attention, along with Eceparti, who won over fences in France. However, preference is for BENI LIGHT, who has done well in the handicap ranks this autumn and is just 2lb higher than when going close at Uttoxeter last time.
Prediction : 1st Beni Light 2nd Love Lane 3rd Twasnt The Plan

MARCH IS ON made a winning reappearance at Southwell last month and Jonjo O'Neill's six-year-old, who stayed on well to score by three lengths on that occasion, could have more to offer despite an 8lb rise from the assessor. Good And Hardy made the podium over course and distance when sent off joint-favourite on his reappearance and has to be taken seriously off just a 1lb higher mark, while Accordingtogino was another to shape nicely over the track and trip on his first outing of the season and Dan Skelton's team are flying at present. Lord Bryan, Quiz Master and Golden Sovereign all made the frame on their most recent outings and are others to note.
Prediction : 1st March Is On 2nd Good And Hardy 3rd Accordingtogino

CAP DU MATHAN was a little too fresh and green at Cheltenham on his stable debut for Paul Nicholls, getting a little outpaced coming down the hill before running out of steam quickly on the run to the line having wasted plenty of petrol in the early stages. However, he remains a four-year-old with huge potential and the 80,000-euro buy will appreciate this drop in class. The form of Getaway Fred's Exeter second to Hang In There took a boost when that rival scored at Prestbury Park last weekend and Colin Tizzard's five-year-old is one to keep a close eye on, with Shang Tang also of interest on his hurdles debut.
Prediction : 1st Cap Du Mathan 2nd Getaway Fred 3rd Shang Tang

Lamanver Pippin was sloppy on his first try over fences at Ffos Las and will have to be slicker this time, while Fortescue did well to survive a bad blunder at Southwell to score and remains unexposed over 3m. Shaughnessy is one to keep an eye on this winter, but the door appears to be open for DE FORGOTTEN ONE. A brave Stratford winner three weeks ago, he should stay this trip well and could defy a 5lb rise.
Prediction : 1st De Forgotten One 2nd Fortescue 3rd Shaughnessy

THE BIG BREAKAWAY was bought for 360,000 euros shortly after winning between the flags in Ireland in April and he looks sure to play a leading role on his NH debut. Enzo D'Airy ran well on his last couple of starts in France before switching to the Venetia Williams stable and he warrants plenty of respect with conditions to suit. Beyondthestorm, Blackjack Kentucky and Donnie Brasco are others to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st The Big Breakaway 2nd Enzo DAiry 3rd Beyondthestorm

The form of MICK MANHATTAN's comeback fourth at Exeter was given a boost when the winner followed up in Grade 2 company at Cheltenham on Sunday, and Sam Thomas' charge makes plenty of appeal stepping back up in trip on his handicap bow. Fair Kate, another handicap debutant, showed ability in four outings last season and warrants respect on her first start following wind surgery. Huntingdon scorer Lock's Corner also merits shortlist inclusion.
Prediction : 1st Mick Manhattan 2nd Fair Kate 3rd Locks Corner
