UK Horse Racing Tips: Chepstow

GERT LUSH won in impressive fashion at Sandown last time out and the daughter of Bated Breath appeals as the one to beat once again from a 6lb raised mark. Richard P Smith merits respect following last month's Lingfield success, while Sir Plato, who has seen his mark tumble after a series of below-par efforts, cannot be dismissed at a venue where he often runs well.
Prediction : 1st Gert Lush 2nd Richard P Smith 3rd Sir Plato

LORDSHIP can count himself slightly unfortunate to have bumped into a couple of promising types recently, but this looks a gilt-edged opportunity for the William Haggas-trained gelding to open his account. Narrowly denied in a three-runner contest at Leicester 18 days ago, Swift Hawk ought to play a leading role, while Mountain Lake, who disappointed when sent off a warm favourite on debut at Wolverhampton, could take a step forward with that run under her belt.
Prediction : 1st Lordship 2nd Swift Hawk 3rd Mountain Lake

A runner-up on both of his starts to date, Sioux Warrior is likely to be in the thick of things once again, while it would come as no surprise were Noo Point to step forward from his recent Catterick debut. Dash Power represents powerful connections and is worth a market check, but a chance is taken on MART. It was a warm contest at Yarmouth in which he made his racecourse bow, and Michael Bell's charge, a half-brother to the admirable Ornate, can progress here.
Prediction : 1st Mart 2nd Sioux Warrior 3rd Noo Point

An easy winner when making all at Goodwood last week, AIRSHOW can follow up at a track where he has been unlucky not to win, having been runner-up on all five starts. Rod Millman's charge gets the vote ahead of course-specialist Some Nightmare and Desert Falcon, who must be of interest off a mark of 76 on his handicap debut.
Prediction : 1st Airshow 2nd Desert Falcon 3rd Some Nightmare

It is difficult to look past JACQUELINA, who has finished in the first two on her last two starts over C&D and seems to have the number of Rhubarb on those lines of form. The four-year-old should enjoy the fast conditions again and it may be that Connie's Rose, a winner over C&D last month, will give her the most to think about.
Prediction : 1st Jacquelina 2nd Rhubarb 3rd Connies Rose

Matty Too took advantage of a drop in the ratings when winning in fine style at Yarmouth eight days ago and, assuming the visor has the same effect, another big run is expected, despite his 5lb penalty. However, he now requires a career best and is taken on with the dual-course winner DIAMOND COTTAGE, who also arrives on the back of a win, but appeals more of just 2lb higher. Chifa has course experience and is also considered.
Prediction : 1st Diamond Cottage 2nd Matty Too 3rd Chifa

Red Evelyn and Letter Of The Law both have a lot going for them but they are creeping up in the ratings and neither look solid on these terms. Therefore, it could pay to side with ROMANOVICH, who still has low mileage for a four-year-old and, off just 2lb higher than his victory over 7f here last month, he looks a potential improver. Millicent also has something to offer and is feared most from the rest.
Prediction : 1st Romanovich 2nd Red Evelyn 3rd Letter Of The Law
