UK Horse Racing Tips: Chepstow

Alfred Cove and Howzak are taken seriously on the back of improved recent form but this could be an ideal opportunity for WEDGEWOOD to register a first win on turf. The four-year-old posted a respectable effort back on grass at Brighton last month and, with the likelihood of fast ground, the Tony Carroll-trained filly has a strong chance of exploiting a lenient mark in comparison to her all-weather rating. Jacquelina would also be a key player if turned out quickly after Friday's engagement at Thirsk.
Prediction : 1st Wedgewood 2nd Alfred Cove 3rd Howzak

VIOLET LOVE hasn't done much wrong so far and is taken to build on her two second-placed finishes to go one better. A potential pace angle, the selection could be too wily for the likes of Miami Memories and Glamorous Jewel, who are notable debutants given that they are both related to winning sprinters. Could She Be Magic appeals most from the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Violet Love 2nd Miami Memories 3rd Glamorous Jewel

All of these already have winning form and while the likes of Rosy Affair and Looby are open to progression on turf, WRESTLING REVENUE could be the way to go off just 4lb higher than last month's success over an extended 5f at Brighton. The selection wasn't disgraced when fifth in a similar race at Lingfield on his latest start and he may have more to offer.
Prediction : 1st Wrestling Revenue 2nd Rosy Affair 3rd Looby

KING OF WAR ended last season with a victory over track and trip, and finished a creditable second at Brighton on his reappearance. That was his first start for Michael Wigham's yard and another bold bid is expected. Hat Toss was third at Leicester earlier in the week and has a chance with his rider's 5lb allowance helping his cause, while Flying Secret could go well with cheekpieces applied for the first time.
Prediction : 1st King Of War 2nd Flying Secret 3rd Hat Toss

Diamondsinthesand represents last year's winning trainer, although he has yet to win on turf in 15 attempts, and BAMA LAMA is preferred. The latter has returned to a winning mark, and recent placed efforts suggest she's ready to get her head back in front. Both Lupset Flossy Pop and Port Noir finished behind the selection at Bath last time, so Sisters In The Sky may prove a bigger danger.
Prediction : 1st Bama Lama 2nd Diamondsinthesand 3rd Sisters In The Sky

It's been a long time since BHUBEZI last won, but last month's neck defeat at Brighton suggests his turn is not far away. Patrick Chamings' charge finished well ahead of Kenstone at Brighton, and the latter won this contest last year off a 4lb higher mark, while Letter Of The Law has also slipped down the handicap and may prove best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Bhubezi 2nd Kenstone 3rd Letter Of The Law

DUCHESS accounted for her nearest rivals by three lengths on her return to action at Yarmouth last month and Gina Mangan's claim negates half of her 6lb rise for that triumph. John Berry's mare looks to have lots in her favour and could go in again. The main danger might be Thewaytothestars, who only managed eighth over 7f here last time but has to be considered back up in trip. Of the remainder, Mayz makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Duchess 2nd Thewaytothestars 3rd Mayz

MARMALADE LADY put her first three underwhelming efforts in novice company last year behind her when hitting the frame over 1m4f on her handicap debut at Lingfield last month. Hughie Morrison's filly remains on the same mark and she looks the one to beat. Tomorrow Day finished fifth over a mile at Bath last time and he takes a big step up in trip in first-time cheekpieces, so he is one to watch out for, while Exceptionality is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Marmalade Lady 2nd Tomorrow Day 3rd Exceptionality
