UK Horse Racing Tips: Chepstow

Mighty Gurkha holds solid claims but, upped in distance, a tendency to race freely might be his undoing once again. With that in mind, the vote goes to dual course winner MACS DILEMMA, who was only beaten three-quarters of a length off this mark at Newmarket last month. Little Boy Blue ought to appreciate the return to turf having been well held at Lingfield, and Fangorn shouldn't be underestimated either.
Prediction : 1st Macs Dilemma 2nd Mighty Gurkha 3rd Little Boy Blue

AUTUMN FESTIVAL made amends for his narrow Beverley defeat when successful at Sandown, and a 2lb rise is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. Reopposing runner-up Reversion finds himself 1lb better off with David O'Meara's charge, although he has struggled on the all-weather at Lingfield since. Recent Brighton scorer King Of War remains in fine fettle and must go on the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Autumn Festival 2nd Reversion 3rd King Of War

Following his course success last Thursday, CLASHANISKA appears to hold leading claims against some out-of-form rivals, and a similar performance might be enough to see him double the dose. Chifa ought to appreciate the drop in class having been well held when sent off favourite in handicap company at Ffos Las earlier this month. On Edge, who has just three career starts to his name, could take a step forward.
Prediction : 1st Clashaniska 2nd Chifa 3rd On Edge

NIGHT BATTLE is the only previous winner in this field and although she was well beaten at Chester in May, that was the Cheshire Oaks over an extended 1m3f on the soft. She drops back to a mile on better ground and should find conditions much more to her liking. The others with racecourse experience have a lot to find, suggesting the newcomers may follow her home, with Regatta Queen and Imperial Majesty both representing the in-form Brisland stable.
Prediction : 1st Night Battle 2nd Regatta Queen 3rd Imperial Majesty

Pastfact has won here three times over a furlong further and is worth considering, despite being a beaten favourite last time out at Bath when slowly away. He could go well with a better start, although BAMA LAMA is narrowly preferred. Placed on her last three starts and caught close home over 6f here last time, she is well worth a drop in trip and may prove hard to catch. Notre Maison and Fossos are others to consider in a competitive race.
Prediction : 1st Bama Lama 2nd Pastfact 3rd Notre Maison

LOVE TROPHY POWER misbehaved at the start before being beaten less than a length at Windsor over a furlong shorter and as she won over this trip at Windsor in June, she looks to have every chance. Musical Mystery has finished second on his last two starts and could go well again with William Buick up. Willoughby Bay takes a drop in class and should find this level of company more to her liking.
Prediction : 1st Love Trophy Power 2nd Musical Mystery 3rd Willoughby Bay
