UK Horse Racing Tips: Chepstow

Over Spiced may try to make all over the minimum trip, but this is her 10th run of the year and top-weight may find her out. Reporter won by a neck at Windsor last month and an added 4lb from the handicapper may not stop him getting involved at the finish, but HINT OF THE JUNGLE is preferred. Fourth at Yarmouth when last seen in April, he races off 1lb lower now, before Alfie Redman's 7lb claim from the saddle, and could get the better of his younger rivals.
Prediction : 1st Hint Of The Jungle 2nd Reporter 3rd Over Spiced

Older horses have held sway in the seven runnings of this race so far, with just the one four-year-old winning, and that trend may continue if BEAR TO DREAM runs to her best. A winner at Brighton in May, she was only beaten a length at the same track last time and races off the same mark here. Sorontar ran too bad to be true on his first start of the year at Windsor and may be worth another chance for an in-form stable, leaving Guiteau for third on his first start for Faye Bromley.
Prediction : 1st Bear To Dream 2nd Sorontar 3rd Guiteau

Seren Star failed to build on her debut third with a 12-length fourth at Newbury, but she may be worth another chance dropped in class. Aphrodite Spirit ran well in third on her only start at Goodwood and she may go close, but SONG N DANCE is preferred. Fourth at Wolverhampton in December despite a slow start and a blocked run, if she learns from that then the Sean Woods-trained Bated Breath filly could get off the mark under Ben Sanderson.
Prediction : 1st Song N Dance 2nd Aphrodite Spirit 3rd Seren Star

RORY ROCKET has done little wrong in all three runner-up outings to date and he could be worth chancing on his handicap bow. An official mark of 70 looks workable given his latest second behind a now-rated 77 rival at Lingfield and a first career victory may be in the offing. Connie's Rose should appreciate a return to the distance that saw her finish a close-up second here in mid-June and she's feared most, ahead of Saffredi.
Prediction : 1st Rory Rocket 2nd Connies Rose 3rd Saffredi

HIBERNATE arrives on the back of his best effort to date when finishing a close-up second at Nottingham. A 1lb nudge from the assessor could prove to be lenient for Ed Dunlop's gelding and he looks ready to open his account. Makes Me Wonder also filled the runner-up spot on his latest outing over 1m at Windsor, although he may need to settle better in order to see out today's extra quarter-mile distance. With that in mind, a bigger danger may emerge from fellow in-form rival Electric Bass.
Prediction : 1st Hibernate 2nd Electric Bass 3rd Makes Me Wonder

Forest Hills posted creditable efforts in defeat at Salisbury and Ffos Las last month and another good account is forecast. However, reverting to 1m2f may leave Rod Millman's inmate lacking for pace and SPIRIT OF THE BAY rates a more solid proposition. The Cable Bay mare found only a progressive three-year-old too strong at Redcar in May and this contest looks ripe for the taking. Windsor scorer Cotswold Cottage could also make her presence felt.
Prediction : 1st Spirit Of The Bay 2nd Forest Hills 3rd Cotswold Cottage
