UK Horse Racing Tips: Chepstow

Not in action since a disappointing effort when favourite on her first start for new connections last November, FLOATING LINE should be open to improvement stepping up in trip and she can strike in this winnable contest. A creditable third here over 2m in January, Blue Moon Serenade is capable of being in the shake-up, as well as Goodtimecrew, who is better than what she showed at Wincanton. Newcomer Gentoo and Spring Gale cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Floating Line 2nd Blue Moon Serenade 3rd Goodtimecrew

LYRICAL GENIUS may be winless in 10 starts over fences but his most recent effort here over further was promising and dropping back to a trip over which he has been narrowly denied on a couple of occasions could prove ideal. A winner at Catterick in January, Track And Trace is a key player if bouncing back to that form, while the same can be said of Aquila Sky, who is a player on the pick of his hurdles form.
Prediction : 1st Lyrical Genius 2nd Track And Trace 3rd Aquila Sky

WOLF PRINCE bounced back to form with a comfortable success at Taunton last month and a 7lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from following up. Not long with Fergal O'Brien, the eight-year-old has run off much higher marks in the past and is preferred to the class-dropping Aurigny Mill, who had been in excellent form before a lacklustre effort in the Betfair Hurdle. Aucunrisque and Way Out have the form to get involved too.
Prediction : 1st Wolf Prince 2nd Aurigny Mill 3rd Aucunrisque

BRAVE SEASCA was well held in fifth over 2m here earlier in the month, but the handicapper may have been kind to drop him 4lb. Venetia Williams' nine-year-old takes a step back up in trip and lurks on an appealing mark, so he just shades the vote. Diego Du Charmil could show a lot more than his well-beaten sixth at Ascot last time and he isn't one to write off, while Tightenourbelts is another to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Brave Seasca 2nd Diego Du Charmil 3rd Tightenourbelts

ROARING LEGEND sets a fair standard with a rating of 119 in this contest after being pulled up in the Boodles at the Cheltenham Festival last month. He has since undergone wind surgery and Olly Murphy's four-year-old could be the one to beat dropped in class. His main danger is Banteer, who sports a first-time tongue-tie which could eke out more, while Dog Fox makes the most appeal of the remainder after his fifth at Huntingdon.
Prediction : 1st Roaring Legend 2nd Banteer 3rd Dog Fox

Point-to-point winner BREAK MY SOUL has hit the frame on each of her three starts under Rules so far, with her latest third over 2m3f at Newbury reading well in the context of this race. The daughter of Doyen takes a drop in distance, which shouldn't pose her any problems, and she can get off the mark. Any market confidence behind High Joker on his debut would be interesting, while Easter Icon will need to improve on his Ascot effort when finishing sixth.
Prediction : 1st Break My Soul 2nd High Joker 3rd Easter Icon

DOUGLAS LONGBOTTOM has few miles on the clock and he arrives in excellent form having landed back-to-back victories in the pointing sphere. The son of Helmet should have more to offer and, with few concerns regarding ground conditions, he gets a confident vote. Powerstown Park hasn't been seen under Rules for over two years, but he boasts the highest official rating and must be considered, along with Montanna.
Prediction : 1st Douglas Longbottom 2nd Powerstown Park 3rd Montanna

The vote goes to PIPERS CROSS, who was a commanding winner of a C&D mares' event 13 days ago and appears to hold every chance of following up off a 6lb raised mark. Up For Parol was a beaten favourite when filling the runner-up spot at Fakenham last time but he remains of interest off an unchanged rating, while Florencethemachine is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Pipers Cross 2nd Up For Parol 3rd Florencethemachine
