UK Horse Racing Tips: Chepstow

FOSSOS has made the frame on both his starts since winning over course and distance last month and it would be no surprise to see the four-year-old go well once again. Nacho is an obvious threat to the selection based on his second-placed finish at Wolverhampton a month ago, while Coronation Cottage is the clear pick of the remaining field.
Prediction : 1st Fossos 2nd Nacho 3rd Coronation Cottage

Betweenthesticks has strong form claims but he is a 10-race maiden and that has to be a concern. With that in mind, preference is for COMMISSION, who was not disgraced on his debut at Ascot earlier in the month and he should only improve for that first race experience. Congress is closely related to plenty of winners and is a newcomer to note.
Prediction : 1st Commission 2nd Betweenthesticks 3rd Congress

ISCHIA was only beaten a nose in a similar event over 6f at Brighton a few weeks ago and this appears to be an ideal opportunity for the three-year-old to get off the mark. That said, La Equinata has shown promise on her last couple of starts and is capable of going well in a race of this nature, while Oasis Gift and Cloud Cuckoo are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Ischia 2nd La Equinata 3rd Oasis Gift

The progressive Cabeza De Llave is a tempting proposition in a race that is within his grasp if handling softer ground. However, a career-high mark and lack of proven form on soft cast enough doubt to take evasive action. BLUEBELL TIME, however, fits the bill as a confirmed mudlark and she gets the vote to improve from her latest effort here on Thursday. Vape is a tough and wily character that can never be ruled out at this level.
Prediction : 1st Bluebell Time 2nd Cabeza De Llave 3rd Vape

Assuming that dropping back a furlong doesn't inconvenience HIROMICHI, the lightly raced four-year-old has a live chance of registering a hat-trick of wins. He is a likely candidate to force the pace and could be difficult to reel in. Connie's Rose is just 3lb higher than her success over C&D in July and the drop back to 6f will aid her cause. Grey Galleon usually comes on for a run when returning from a break, so it is very feasible he can put in a much more accomplished display than at Goodwood 16 days ago
Prediction : 1st Hiromichi 2nd Connies Rose 3rd Grey Galleon

A chance is taken on AMARILLO GOLD. Jamie Osborne's charge was a winner at Brighton last month before running creditably at Wolverhampton on his latest outing. He ought to appreciate the return to turf and can repel the likely challenge of recent Kempton scorer Moondial. Zakram has been performing to a consistent level and looks capable of another bold bid.
Prediction : 1st Amarillo Gold 2nd Moondial 3rd Zakram

ZEALOT defied a 576-day absence to score on his handicap debut at Kempton last Saturday and, with further improvement likely, he can follow up, with the switch to turf not expected to prove an issue. Danny Bleu scored under similar conditions at this venue last month and he ought to remain competitive along with Luxy Lou and Mountain Ash, who both hit the crossbar on their latest starts.
Prediction : 1st Zealot 2nd Danny Bleu 3rd Luxy Lou
