UK Horse Racing Tips: Chepstow

Lightning Flash had a subsequent winner a position behind him when runner-up at Taunton and that sets the jumping standard. Gary Moore's pair have offered plenty of encouragement in bumpers, though, especially AUTHENTIC LEGACY, who was a promising fourth in Listed company prior to a slightly less inspiring display in a traditionally strong Newbury affair. His stablemate The Ron Do Ron is also expected to do better now that he tackles obstacles.
Prediction : 1st Authentic Legacy 2nd The Ron Do Ron 3rd Lightning Flash

Casa No Mento was eight lengths clear of Jaminska when they took minor honours in a Listed contest at Taunton at the end of 2023 and she will be a tough nut to crack. The 5lb she has to concede to EITHER OR could prove her undoing, though, and Nicky Henderson's mare is backed to put a lacklustre performance in a Sandown Grade 2 behind her. Get Sky High hasn't been seen for the best part of a year and a half, but she finished third to the high-class Nemean Lion at Hereford so must be taken seriously.
Prediction : 1st Either Or 2nd Casa No Mento 3rd Get Sky High

WISE GUY made amends for a costly Huntingdon defeat when getting back on the winning trail at Carlisle, and he apparently loves it when the mud is flying. He can defy an 8lb rise and confirm his superiority over Double Click, who was a long way behind him at Lingfield in February but has since got his head back in front over C&D. Zambezi Fix is always worth a look at Chepstow, while Tommie Gun made a pleasing handicap bow at Newbury, and Lunar Sovereign is interesting on his first appearance since finishing fourth in last year's Swinton.
Prediction : 1st Wise Guy 2nd Double Click 3rd Zambezi Fix

KING TURGEON ran a big race in second when narrowly denied by an in-form rival at Taunton last month and a 3lb rise could prove lenient as he looks to gain compensation. David Pipe's charge has run well here before and he gets the vote ahead of the capable Bolsover Bill and Rouge De L'quest, who got off the mark in excellent style at Ffos Las last month. Not outside the first two on each of his last four starts here (two wins), Eceparti cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st King Turgeon 2nd Rouge De Lquest 3rd Eceparti

In what looks like a very winnable contest, it can pay to side with recent C&D winner KING OF BRAZIL, who has got the hang of things since the turn of the year. A 3lb rise for that most recent success looks manageable and it may be a previous C&D winner in Moonlighter that gives him the most to think about, despite the latter having an underwhelming season to this point. Not seen since disappointing at Market Rasen last July, The Boola Boss is one to note on his return as he won two of his three starts previous to that.
Prediction : 1st King Of Brazil 2nd The Boola Boss 3rd Moonlighter

With three wins and two second-placed efforts from six starts since early January, Lady Balko has undoubtedly held her form well and commands respect, despite now finding herself on a 30lb higher mark than since the turn of the year. However, she may be vulnerable off her current perch and she is taken on with TEQUILA BLAZE, who can get competitive off a handy rating. With trip and ground to suit, Fergal O'Brien's wily 10-year-old tends to go well for Tom Broughton, whose 5lb claim is a further boost for the selection. Molto Bene completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Tequila Blaze 2nd Lady Balko 3rd Molto Bene

This is the right sort of level for GOGUENARD, who has been in flying form since returning from almost a year on the sidelines. With three wins from four starts since late January, this low-mileage eight-year-old still has plenty to offer from a mark of just 84 and, with ground conditions to suit, the gelding can continue to flourish. Wonderweasle also enters the reckoning off just 3lb higher than her recent Ffos Lass success, while Fresh Speculation rates a player on just his fifth run over hurdles.
Prediction : 1st Goguenard 2nd Wonderweasle 3rd Fresh Speculation
