UK Horse Racing Tips: Chepstow

Timeforarum had a subsequent winner in third when bursting back into life at Ffos Las, although that improvement was attributed to the testing conditions so he will need any rain that falls to get into the ground. THIS SWAY's Southwell triumph also came in the soft, but he was backed as if defeat was out of the question and he has a lot more scope for improvement so is preferred. Nobody Told Me has yet to make the frame over timber, but there was encouragement to take from his Hereford fourth.
Prediction : 1st This Sway 2nd Timeforarum 3rd Nobody Told Me

Moor End's jumping let him down at Uttoxeter, but he was in fine form prior and chased home a subsequent winner at Leicester. He does have to prove his stamina, whereas JUST IN A BIT is expected to relish the rise from an extended 2m6f and can capitalise on what appears to be a lenient chase rating. Bridget Mary's return to fences at Windsor didn't go to plan, nor did Montmartin's Lingfield comeback, but neither can be written off. Night Jet is rarely too far away, but should really have a better strike-rate.
Prediction : 1st Just In A Bit 2nd Moor End 3rd Bridget Mary

Winning pointer JUST A GLANCE confirmed the promise of her second in an Aintree bumper when returning from the sidelines and wind surgery to make a successful hurdling debut at Hereford. She had a subsequent winner well in arrears so should be up to giving weight and a beating to these rivals. The Procrastinator won't go down without a fight, though. She has won two of her four starts, although she needs to jump better than she did at Wetherby. Watch the market for a clue as to what is expected from Evening Tess.
Prediction : 1st Just A Glance 2nd The Procrastinator 3rd Evening Tess

RIVER VOYAGE was given a good ride by Toby McCain-Mitchell when a change in tactics yielded a return to winning ways at Ffos Las. That performance suggests there could still be improvement in the eight-year-old and he's won on good ground before too. Gold Emery has been knocking on the door and would be no surprise winner, while Stellar Stream is another to bear in mind.
Prediction : 1st River Voyage 2nd Gold Emery 3rd Stellar Stream

INION TIOGAIR gained the success her previous form deserved over C&D last month and she's since posted a decent enough third at Ffos Las. While evidently on good terms with herself it might be wise to stick with Grace Harris' charge, especially back at this track. Le Fabuleux Buck's is unexposed and it hasn't gone unnoticed that Sean Bowen is booked for his handicap debut. Watch out for Laurier Des Obeaux as well.
Prediction : 1st Inion Tiogair 2nd Le Fabuleux Bucks 3rd Laurier Des Obeaux

BLUE IN THE WEST has showed a lot more at Exeter the last twice and this could be the time to catch him over this extra furlong, especially with Sean Bowen taking over in the saddle. Crystello won in determined fashion at Musselburgh and is open to stacks more improvement in handicap hurdles, while it's also worth keeping a close eye on Colonial Empire.
Prediction : 1st Blue In The West 2nd Crystello 3rd Colonial Empire

STICK TO THE BOARD might have won his sole point-to-point outing if not for a mishap at the last, and he's of huge interest on his Rules bow now in the hands of Paul Nicholls. Harry Cobden has just two rides on the card and you've got to imagine this is the one he's come for. Lord Du Gouet didn't slip up between the flags in November and was victorious, so must be considered for shrewd connections also making his Rules debut. Trigg couldn't win under a penalty at Sedgefield and may struggle again in this company.
Prediction : 1st Stick To The Board 2nd Lord Du Gouet 3rd Trigg
