UK Horse Racing Tips: Chepstow

Having been narrowly denied on his penultimate outing, PAVLODAR found himself on the right side of a close finish next time. Alastair Ralph's charge must saddle a 5lb penalty for that success, but he is far from exposed and there might be more to come. Garner showed more at Newbury 17 days ago, finishing third, and is another expected to go well. The ultra-consistent Airshow can chase the pair home.
Prediction : 1st Pavlodar 2nd Garner 3rd Airshow

Unleash Hell was too keen to do himself justice at Ffos Las 10 days ago, but the addition of first-time cheekpieces could settle him. Ribchester gelding Irrelevant is bred to be better than his current mark and he must be of interest with Finley Marsh taking over from an inexperienced apprentice. However, preference is for SHAWS PHOENIX. She plugged on for a well-beaten fifth at Salisbury last time, but the switch to nursery company and step up to a mile can bring about a fair chunk of improvement.
Prediction : 1st Shaws Phoenix 2nd Unleash Hell 3rd Irrelevant

AZAHARA PALACE produced another career-best effort when beaten a neck at Salisbury last month, an effort for which she was subsequently raised 2lb in the handicap. The daughter of Adaay is fancied to continue her progress and can get the better of Marie Laveau. She failed to fire having been well supported ahead of her handicap bow last time but, if the first-time hood can help her to settle, she can give her true running. Hey Lyla is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Azahara Palace 2nd Marie Laveau 3rd Hey Lyla

LAOISMAN sets a clear standard on his narrow defeat at Windsor last time out and a similar level of performance by the Night Of Thunder colt should suffice. Solray was just under two lengths behind when making his debut on that occasion, and Jane Chapple-Hyam's charge is entitled to finish closer here. Seattle Time has 7lb to find with the selection judged on official ratings, but he has the services of top apprentice Billy Loughnane in the plate.
Prediction : 1st Laoisman 2nd Solray 3rd Seattle Time

Bama Lama posted a career-best performance when completing a second success of the season at Windsor last month, and the five-year-old must enter calculations off only 4lb higher. However, PORTERINTHEJUNGLE endured a rough finish when impeded throughout the final furlong over C&D recently, and makes slightly more appeal given that was her first appearance for 304 days. In-form rivals Joy Choi and On Edge are likely to be thereabouts too.
Prediction : 1st Porterinthejungle 2nd Bama Lama 3rd Joy Choi

MONTEVIDEO posted her best performance to date when finishing third at Haydock in June and the daughter of Teofilo must hold every chance with her sights now lowered. Sindri has offered encouragement on all three appearances and rates as the main danger, with first-time cheekpieces likely to eke out some improvement. Brora Breeze shouldn't be inconvenienced by the drop in distance from 1m3f at Kempton and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Montevideo 2nd Sindri 3rd Brora Breeze

FLIGHT OF ANGELS returned to form with a third-placed effort in a better race at Epsom last week and Charlie Johnston's three-year-old should take some stopping off the same mark. Emperor's Clothes hasn't been disgraced in maiden/novice company of late and likely has more to offer now entering handicaps. The Holy Roman Emperor gelding may give the selection most to think about, ahead of Ectocross.
Prediction : 1st Flight Of Angels 2nd Emperors Clothes 3rd Ectocross
