5:01 Chepstow Tips

Four runs this year for the 5yo after joining a new yard, the trainer finding the key to him as he was a nice 10f C/D winner two weeks ago of a 9 runner handicap. He travelled way better than all his rivals and was never in trouble once he hit the front a furlong out. Only slightly higher in the weights for this handicap and he can take another step forward. He was rated 20lb+ higher earlier in his career.

There is some nice value here on this tip She has some nice speed ratings and not many good runners here. Love her chances to be in the money.

The 10-year-old gelding trained by Tony Carroll runs off an official rating of 58. While well exposed, his mark is low enough to make him competitive if he produces his best. He put in a strong performance to finish 2nd of 8 over 10f at Brighton in late June, but failed to build on that when finishing last of 7 back at Brighton a week later. He needs to bounce back from that.

Pride Of Nepal was going for five in a row when last out last month. He stepped up to Class 4 after taking on 6 lbs, but was at the back of the pack. Back to Class 5 today off the same mark and with a 7 lb claimer in the saddle, I think he still has a chance for another win.

Dancingondiamonds is relatively unexposed. There is a possibility the opening handicap mark underestimates him. Also, Olly Murphy has an excellent record with handicap debutants, so he is certainly one to watch.
