UK Horse Racing Tips: Chepstow

Sarah Bowen gets back on board old friend PRIDE OF NEPAL, who has showed his appreciation for the return to turf by registering a Windsor/Lingfield double. A further 3lb rise shouldn't bother him too much and he can force Knightmare to settle for more minor honours, with David Evans' 17-race maiden making the frame at Bath and Wolverhampton recently. Archie Watson and Brodie Hampson teamed up to win this 12 months ago and this year's representative Alazwar continues to plummet down the ratings.
Prediction : 1st Pride Of Nepal 2nd Knightmare 3rd Alazwar

MAN IS KING has maintained a fine level of consistency during a busy first couple of months of the turf campaign and won at Bath to make it three victories from his last four outings. Those triumphs have all come at that circuit, but Louise Chance has tasted success on him before and he is worth sticking with. Change Of Fortune would be a fitting winner for Bernard and Jessica Llewellyn and isn't without claims after his Ffos Las third. Little She filled the same position at Leicester and might be the bigger threat, though.
Prediction : 1st Man Is King 2nd Little She 3rd Change Of Fortune

Eabha made a debut full of promise when third at Newbury, but not too far behind her was TALL TREES and she could improve past her rival. The Brian Meehan-trained daughter of Showcasing looked far from straightforward initially, but she picked up really well once the penny dropped and can take the necessary step forward. Spirit Tango cost 475,000gns as a yearling so is sure to attract plenty of attention, and Miss Kodi is another newcomer to note.
Prediction : 1st Tall Trees 2nd Eabha 3rd Spirit Tango

SONIC SI gained the success his previous all-weather form deserved when switching to turf at Nottingham, and his supporters will be pleased to see that Rossa Ryan keeps the ride. Another bold showing looks assured, but Savannah Smiles is a big danger as she is a C&D winner and comes here on the back of an improved Bath second. Keep an eye on Moostar as well.
Prediction : 1st Sonic Si 2nd Savannah Smiles 3rd Moostar

Hint Of The Jungle would be no surprise winner judged on recent form and is a must for the shortlist, but SIOUX WARRIOR is fancied to strike. It wasn't a bad performance when third over an extended 5f at Bath latest and stepping back up to 7f makes him of real interest on the evidence of his previous Wolverhampton second, when beaten just half a length. The Organiser is noted too.
Prediction : 1st Sioux Warrior 2nd Hint Of The Jungle 3rd The Organiser

PUNCHBOWL FLYER was just denied by the reopposing Too Much Trevor when a half-length second over C&D nine days ago and is weighted to reverse the form. The son of Dream Ahead is 2lb better off with Grace Harris' charge and can exact his revenge under stylish 7lb claimer Alexandra Egan. Autumn Angel was fourth in that race and the track-and-trip scorer is another to take seriously.
Prediction : 1st Punchbowl Flyer 2nd Too Much Trevor 3rd Autumn Angel

Three-time C&D winner Ajrad hasn't cut much ice in four appearances this year, but his mark continues to drop and he may get closer. Even so, REDHOT WHISPER looks the way to go. Adrian Wintle's charge has hit the frame in this grade at Bath the last twice and looks to have been found a good opportunity to capitalise on a career-low rating. Surprise Newcastle scorer Dinah Myte is next best.
Prediction : 1st Redhot Whisper 2nd Ajrad 3rd Dinah Myte

PRAISE INDEED made no impact in her three starts in maiden/novice company last year, but she now has her first start for the William Muir & Chris Grassick stable on her handicap bow and could exploit an opening mark of 54. Desert Charm made the frame over 7f at Southwell last month and remains of interest, especially with this extra furlong in her favour. Homeland isn't ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Praise Indeed 2nd Desert Charm 3rd Homeland
