UK Horse Racing Tips: Chepstow

GLOBAL FAME won in the style of a really useful operator in a Southwell bumper earlier this month, putting the race to bed in decisive fashion once asked to make his challenge, and should have plenty more to come now trying obstacles. Harry Senior has been bumping into decent opposition so far in his hurdling career and has to be feared, while a step up in trip could help Cap Du Mathan, who was third over 2m here last time.
Prediction : 1st Global Fame 2nd Harry Senior 3rd Cap Du Mathan

ECEPARTI made it back-to-back victories when romping to a 12-length success at Wetherby and it would be no surprise to see the five-year-old course-and-distance winner complete the hat-trick here with the Venetia Williams team in fine form. Philip Hobbs' pair of Kayf Adventure and Springtown Lake both disappointed on their most recent outings but can't be ignored, with Whatswrongwithyou another with plenty of ability and the potential to bounce back from pulling up at Newbury.
Prediction : 1st Eceparti 2nd Springtown Lake 3rd Whatswrongwithyou

Allmankind is sure to be popular with the form of his Cheltenham victory over Botox Has taking a boost recently. However, TAVUS pounced late to down the tough Navajo Pass on his debut for Jedd O'Keeffe at Newcastle and with that rival winning a Doncaster Grade 2 on his next outing, it's hard to knock the form of that result and he gets the nod. Irish raider Cerberus won a Grade 3 last time and is another of real interest.
Prediction : 1st Tavus 2nd Allmankind 3rd Cerberus

ACEY MILAN has returned this campaign with two solid efforts including most recently in a Grade 3 at Haydock and a 4lb rise for that performance appears very fair as he drops in class. Ask Dillon boasts some decent novice form and the step up in distance on his handicap debut could unlock further progression, while going back up in trip will benefit Clyne as he was outpaced before running on at Aintree over 2m4f earlier in the month.
Prediction : 1st Acey Milan 2nd Ask Dillon 3rd Clyne

Last year's hero ELEGANT ESCAPE bids to become the first back-to-back winner of this race since Bonanza Boy and boasts excellent claims, despite being 9lb higher. The seven-year-old has run to a good level on both his starts so far this season, including when third off top weight in the Ladbrokes Trophy, and the stamina test on offer will play to his strengths. Now Mcginty, Potters Corner and Yala Enki appeal most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Elegant Escape 2nd Now Mcginty 3rd Potters Corner

SAMBURU SHUJAA looked to need the run on reappearance four weeks ago for Philip Hobbs and could resume his progress from last season back on a soft terrain. Twice a winner over hurdles here earlier in the year, the six-year-old has long shaped like a chaser in the making and he promises to prove a force in this sphere. Dominateur jumped well in the main when scoring here earlier this month, while Clondaw Anchor and Another Emotion are other names to note.
Prediction : 1st Samburu Shujaa 2nd Dominateur 3rd Clondaw Anchor

Oneupmanship ran a blinder on debut to finish second behind an experienced rival at Uttoxeter last month and natural improvement would see him go close again, while Wildfire Warrior is related to plenty of smart types and is fancied to prove best of those without prior racecourse experience. However, Paul Nicholls claimed this last year and could do so again with JEREMY PASS. He caught the eye on his Rules debut at Newcastle when third and might take some stopping.
Prediction : 1st Jeremy Pass 2nd Oneupmanship 3rd Wildfire Warrior
