UK Horse Racing Tips: Chepstow

Punchbowl Flyer has won eight races, but all were over 6f though he may hang on for a place, leaving EXCELLENT ECHO as the pick. The neck winner of a better race in July, an added 1lb seems unlikely to stop him doubling up. Jr Climbs has taken a step in the right direction on his last couple of starts and he is likely to be in the mix.
Prediction : 1st Excellent Echo 2nd Punchbowl Flyer 3rd Jr Climbs

Quiescent showed plenty of promise when second at Newmarket on her debut and is easily forgiven her only other start at Goodwood when the ground turned heavy. The Pinatubo filly may prove the biggest danger to ZABEEL FLOWER, who caught the eye on her Lingfield debut with a half-length second where she showed signs of inexperience before running on strongly close home. Jack Channon has his horses in good form, and Crazy Diamond is one to watch for future contests.
Prediction : 1st Zabeel Flower 2nd Quiescent 3rd Crazy Diamond

Torbay won at Ffos Las in July but disappointed last time out with a six-length third at Kempton off just 1lb higher, and he needs to add to that to win here. Rod Millman trained the winner of this in 2020 and will be hoping of a big run from Demetris Mouflon on her handicap debut, but REJJIEN gets the nod. A nose second over a furlong shorter here in July, she looks the type to find further improvement for the mile.
Prediction : 1st Rejjien 2nd Torbay 3rd Demetris Mouflon

Peter The Wolf sets the standard from an official rating of 80 and rates a key player back in a maiden. However, he is fully exposed after 10 defeats and is taken on with the in-form PICKERING CASTLE. The son of Cityscape has posted his best efforts over 6f and cutting back a furlong looks a good move here. Freddie's Star comes from a family that Roger Teal knows well and he merits close inspection on his racecourse bow.
Prediction : 1st Pickering Castle 2nd Peter The Wolf 3rd Freddies Star

VAPE made the most of a tumbling mark to win his last two starts in ready fashion. Still feasibly treated from 4lb higher than for a C&D win last month, the consistent eight-year-old can complete the hat-trick, with the forecast going not expected to be an issue. Connie's Rose tends to go well here and needs taking seriously given her yard won this race last year. Papabella and Last Outlaw complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Vape 2nd Connies Rose 3rd Papabella

Having finished third at Lingfield and Ffos Las last month, a breakthrough victory could be on the horizon for STEP ALONG. The daughter of Havana Grey makes plenty of appeal racing off an unchanged rating and she's preferred to Aim For The Bull. Mike Murphy's charge has been performing with credit in classified company of late and he looks fairly treated reverting to handicaps. Kaleidoscope Eyes is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Step Along 2nd Aim For The Bull 3rd Kaleidoscope Eyes

Some Nightmare supplemented his close-up second over 6f here when scoring over C&D eight days ago. The veteran merits respect in his current vein of form, but a 4lb penalty does demand more. With that in mind, KURIMU may appreciate this drop in distance and could take advantage of what looks a tricky contest on paper. We're Reunited appears best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Kurimu 2nd Some Nightmare 3rd Were Reunited
