UK Horse Racing Tips: Chepstow

FISHERMANS COTTAGE got off the mark when a short-head winner at Salisbury recently and he merits plenty of respect as he can run off the same mark here, despite a 5lb penalty. Wedgewood is another last-time-out winner and Tony Carroll's mare could prove to be the main threat to the selection. Street Life and Coco Hill are players based on their efforts on the all-weather of late.
Prediction : 1st Fishermans Cottage 2nd Wedgewood 3rd Street Life

Born Slippy showed some promise when fourth on his debut at Wolverhampton last month and is arguably the pick of those with experience. However, the level he sets is not high and a chance can be taken with SINJ. Richard Hannon's newcomer is out of a mare who won twice early on as a juvenile and this daughter of Too Darn Hot makes plenty of appeal. Any market support for Steel Drum would have to be noted.
Prediction : 1st Sinj 2nd Born Slippy 3rd Steel Drum

OUTRACE conjured up a better display when finishing third at Bath last time. A bold bid looks on the cards based on that evidence, and Richard Hannon's inmate may prove the one to side with. Glencalvie can feature off an attractive mark if building on last month's fourth at Nottingham, while Next Trick has placed off higher marks in the past and offered something to work on when third on her latest start.
Prediction : 1st Outrace 2nd Glencalvie 3rd Next Trick

ROMANOVICH won this in 2023 and scored again here last summer. John O'Shea's charge looks primed to make another strong bid after going close at Wolverhampton last time and is taken to edge out Devasboy, who also placed at Wolverhampton in March and can make his presence felt once again. Embarked has yet to win on turf, although a decent third at Doncaster recently suggests he can get involved.
Prediction : 1st Romanovich 2nd Devasboy 3rd Embarked

BEAR ROCK was a game winner of a similar race over 6f at Haydock last month and a 3lb higher rating might not be enough to prevent her from following up on just her fourth start over this distance. Saffredi and Francisco are in-form rivals that can make this a good test for the selection, while Mojomaker retains ability and is too attractively weighted to ignore for each-way purposes, despite his winless record in handicaps.
Prediction : 1st Bear Rock 2nd Saffredi 3rd Francisco

A winner over 1m2f at Brighton last month, Seraphic reverts to the Flat with a decent chance of following up, although another personal best is required from a 3lb higher mark. With that in mind, it could pay to focus on FOREST SPIRIT, who has far more scope for progression on only her second start on turf. Angel On High and Jenson Benson are also shortlisted.
Prediction : 1st Forest Spirit 2nd Seraphic 3rd Angel On High
