UK Horse Racing Tips: Chepstow

Course-and-distance winner COOL STRUTTER wasn't far away from back-to-back victories when second at Leicester earlier this month and, having looked in top form since the restart, is backed to play a leading role once again. Lady Florence was second over track and trip last month and wasn't disgraced at Windsor recently, while David's Beauty is another to thrive at this venue of late who is worthy of a place on the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Cool Strutter 2nd Lady Florence 3rd Davids Beauty

ISLE OF LISMORE built on a respectable Newcastle debut when making all to get off the mark with a comfortable success at Redcar last time. That professional performance sets Robert Cowell's youngster up nicely for another bold bid here. Cliffcake has looked a useful operator so far and is likely to appreciate the return to 6f, representing a leading stable. Speedful was third over 7f here recently and now drops back in distance, while Study The Stars is another to make the podium when last seen and is respected.
Prediction : 1st Isle Of Lismore 2nd Cliffcake 3rd Study The Stars

PASTFACT thrived in first-time cheekpieces when getting on the scoresheet over course and distance earlier this month and could follow up from just a 3lb higher mark. The cheekpieces are worn again here and he should be doing his best work at the finish. Leicester scorer Outer Space is respected dropping back in distance off a 2lb higher rating, while Our Man In Havana has been knocking on the door and remains well treated. Track-and-trip winners Kinglami, Fantasy Justifier and Castlerea Tess are others who can figure in a competitive contest.
Prediction : 1st Pastfact 2nd Outer Space 3rd Our Man In Havana

IN THE COVE took very well to this track when returning a three-length winner over this trip last week and is expected to mount another bold bid now turned out swiftly under a penalty. Inner Circle picked up the silver medal off this mark at Yarmouth earlier in the month and is the one expected to put up most resistance, though there could also be a big run forthcoming from recent course second Mad Endeavour, who steps up from 6f.
Prediction : 1st In The Cove 2nd Inner Circle 3rd Mad Endeavour

GLOWETH bolted up by five lengths over C&D when last sighted and although the handicapper has reacted by handing her an 11lb rise, she won with such authority that a follow-up victory might not be beyond her. Mayfair Pompette has relatively few miles on the clock and could build on a solid handicap debut at Yarmouth to finish on the premises along with Queen Of Silca, a course (7f) winner who can benefit from this drop in grade after finding the company too hot at Ascot.
Prediction : 1st Gloweth 2nd Mayfair Pompette 3rd Queen Of Silca

ROSA GOLD has won on both of her starts in handicap company and appeared to get the job done a shade cosily over 1m at Thirsk 11 days ago. Rae Guest's filly now has to carry a penalty for that success but the step up to 1m2f could eke out further improvement and she has a strong chance of completing a hat-trick. Recent Leicester scorer Soramond has been raised 3lb and is considered the main danger, though the likes of Speech Room and Savanna Gold could also finish on the premises too.
Prediction : 1st Rosa Gold 2nd Soramond 3rd Speech Room

SONGKRAN has impressively notched a Yarmouth/Bath double already this month and, 2lb well in under a 5lb penalty, he might be able to complete the hat-trick. Water's Edge was narrowly beaten on his latest outing at Bath and is likely to be in the shake-up again, while Rotherwick, Helian, Ocean Reach and Abel Tasman add further spice to a competitive handicap.
Prediction : 1st Songkran 2nd Waters Edge 3rd Rotherwick

The form of NOSTALGICA's debut fourth at Thirsk took a nice boost when the runner-up came out and won at Kempton on Monday, and normal improvement should see Mark Johnston's filly go very close to winning this contest. Carausius and Coltrane have both earned a rating of 75 with two promising performances each and they must enter calculations, while smart hurdler Guardia Top is no forlorn hope either.
Prediction : 1st Nostalgica 2nd Carausius 3rd Coltrane
