UK Horse Racing Tips: Chepstow

Racing Demon can be his own worst enemy and again comes with risk attached. That is not to say he isn't up to winning a race like this, but he makes the shortlist only with the caveat that a slow start or trouble in running are common traits. With that in mind, the vote goes to TICKET TO ALASKA, who has scope to improve on turf and looks primed to go well off a workable mark. Profitar Rules appeals most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Ticket To Alaska 2nd Racing Demon 3rd Profitar Rules

CHELSEA SQUARE created a favourable impression with a good second in a decent looking novice stakes at Newbury last month. The manner in which he knuckled down as that race unfolded suggested a breakthrough success is just a formality for this son of Exceed And Excel. There was also a lot to like about the reappearance effort posted by Monty Bay at Kempton last month and he too warrants serious thought, while previous Chelmsford winner Monte Linas also needs considering.
Prediction : 1st Chelsea Square 2nd Monty Bay 3rd Monte Linas

Four-time course winner Rhubarb tends to reserve his best performances for this particular course and is not ruled out back his old stomping ground, while Jacquelina represents the other end of the spectrum and looks a serious contender arriving on the back of her best effort on turf to date. Nevertheless, preference is for the consistent THEREHEGOES, who is versatile regarding ground conditions and is very attractively weighted now he switches back to a grass surface.
Prediction : 1st Therehegoes 2nd Rhubarb 3rd Jacquelina

Connie's Rose is the only last-time-out winner in the field having scored over C&D last time out, but, having been raised 3lb in the ratings for that success, she may be susceptible to some better treated rivals. Therefore, the nod goes to the incredibly consistent THISMYDREAM, who would have gone closer last time had he got a clear run over 6f at Southwell. Some Nightmare should also be thereabouts.
Prediction : 1st Thismydream 2nd Connies Rose 3rd Some Nightmare

DUNDORY has been running with great consistency of late and he was only headed late last time over 1m5f at Hamilton and this slight drop in trip could work the oracle today. John O'Shea's charge runs off the same mark and another bold bid can be expected. Master Grey is feared most after a decent second over 1m6f at Chelmsford, so he is likely to be hitting the line hard, while Age Of Sail heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Dundory 2nd Master Grey 3rd Age Of Sail

This can go the way of VAGUELY ROYAL, who was no match for a front-runner at Newmarket last time out but should be able to improve on that effort. Fast ground could see him in a better light and he is preferred to Wild Hurricane, who makes his turf debut, and Escarpment, a leading contender based on the pick of his form.
Prediction : 1st Vaguely Royal 2nd Wild Hurricane 3rd Escarpment

It is difficult to look past DOG FOX, who has won quite comfortably on his last two starts and a 6lb penalty for his most recent victory at Haydock may not be enough to stop him landing the hat-trick. In The Trenches has run with credit on both starts since his debut and could improve for the step up in trip, whereas the capable Divina Grace returns from a 242-day break.
Prediction : 1st Dog Fox 2nd Divina Grace 3rd In The Trenches
