1	8 1st (8) (7/2 +53%) Kingofthewest		3.5 7/2(+53%)																															(8) Kingofthewest 7/2, Dual winner over hurdles who acquitted himself well on his first two starts over the larger obstacles but came in a tame fourth at Wincanton last time. Needs to get back on track with cheekpieces refitted. Not at best last time but has made the frame in all three chases and enters calculations.
2	9 2nd (9) (12/1 -85%) Walkinthewoods		12 12/1(-85%)																															(9) Walkinthewoods 12/1, Off the mark over timber at this track (2m) in October 2022 and doubled his tally at Ffos Las in May. Narrowly denied on first 2 starts back this term (including at Ffos Las on chase bow last month) but last couple of runs have been poor. Modest the last twice but strong claims if judged on Ffos Las second in November.
3	6 3rd (6) (9/4 +65%) Rock Of Star		2.25 9/4(+65%)																															(6) Rock Of Star 9/4, Brought the curtain down on last season's campaign with back-to-back wins in 23.6f handicaps here. Has gone backwards from his reappearance this term, though. Won twice over 2m7f here at end of last season but needs to better his recent efforts.
4	2 4th (2) (14/1 -180%) Moonlighter		14 14/1(-180%)																															(2) Moonlighter 14/1, C&D winner. 13/8, creditable third of 7 in handicap chase at Lingfield (20f, good to soft) 44 days ago. Looks the most solid proposition in a thin race. Not the force of old but won over C&D last season and could give this a good shot.
5th	10 5th (10) (10/1 +70%) Valirann Gold		10 10/1(+70%)																															(10) Valirann Gold 10/1, Turned in his best effort of the season when second of 7 at Fontwell (17.8f, soft) 29 days ago. Has a job on from out of the weights, though. Stayed on from poor position for second at Fontwell last month; 13lb wrong here, though.
6th	3 6th (3) (11/4 +17%) Hermes Du Gouet		2.75 11/4(+17%)																															(3) Hermes Du Gouet 11/4, Point winner who was much improved when making all in 2m Exeter novice hurdle last January. Failed to kick on after 7 months off when fifth in handicap chase there on his return but not written off. Engaged 3.20 Leicester Tuesday. Made low-key seasonal/chase debut but could still have a good future over fences.
7th	5 7th (5) (28/1 -100%) Skinflint		28 28/1(-100%)																															(5) Skinflint 28/1, Dual winner here last season (including over C&D) so, while he returned with a tame effort at Taunton 41 days ago, he's not one to completely write off. Made low-key reappearance last month but was a dual course winner last season; a possible.
1	1 |PU| (1) (16/1 -78%) Kings Keeper		16 16/1(-78%)																															(1) Kings Keeper 16/1, Irish import who made a good start for this yard in 2022/23, placing twice prior to scoring in decisive fashion over hurdles at Ffos Las. Looked rusty back over fences on return in November and no surprise to see an improved showing here. Not seen since low-key seasonal debut in November but remains unexposed over fences.
4	4 |PU| (4) (28/1 -367%) I Shut That D'or		28 28/1(-367%)																															(4) I Shut That D'or 28/1, Fairly useful course winner over hurdles who shaped as if better for the run when third of 4 on chase debut at Fontwell in October. Has failed to complete on both subsequent outings, though. Didn't run badly on seasonal/chase debut but two non-completions have followed.

LTO Selection:

15:45 Chepstow Handicap Chase (Class 4) 19f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

MOONLIGHTER was a beaten favourite when third at Lingfield last time, but that was only his second start of the season and the veteran can be given another chance off a 2lb lower mark. I Shut That D'or also failed to fire when well backed on his most recent outing, at Wincanton on Boxing Day, but he should not be underestimated. Kings Keeper and Skinflint are noted too.

MOONLIGHTER is well treated and arrives on the back of a creditable run at Lingfield, so he makes most appeal for all that there are always slight reservations in regard to his jumping. Hermes du Gouet is unexposed and capable of better, while Skinflint shouldn't be dismissed returning to a track that suits him.

He has a point to prove but WALKINTHEWOODS will be hard to beat if able to match the form of his clear second at Ffos Las in November.

17	17 (17) (18/1 -13%) Inchester D'amsyl		18 18/1(-13%)																															(17) Inchester D'amsyl 18/1, Maiden who showed a bit first 2 starts in novice hurdles. Yet to kick on in handicaps but shaped as if better for the run following 5 months off when fifth at Exeter (21.6f) 5 weeks ago. Should have more to offer. Soundly beaten in first two handicaps but last month's Exeter fifth was more encouraging.
1	18 1st (18) (9/4 +44%) Mumbles		2.25 9/4(+44%)																															(18) Mumbles 9/4, Gradual improver in handicaps, running his best race yet when hitting the crossbar at Ffos Las (2½m, heavy) last time. Pulled clear of the third (who has scored twice since) that day and he's a lively candidate up 2 lb. Clear second to a three-time subsequent winner at Ffos Las in November; one to consider.
2	4 2nd (4) (4/1 +0%) Accidental Legend		4 4/1(+0%)																															(4) Accidental Legend 4/1, Won 3 on the bounce at around 2½m last winter and, having slipped below his last winning mark, bounced back to form to justify support at Uttoxeter (19.9f) 33 days ago, staying on well. Possibilities from 6 lb higher. Displayed sudden return to form and rewarded heavy market support at Uttoxeter last month.
3	11 3rd (11) (40/1 -150%) Breizh Alko		40 40/1(-150%)																															(11) Breizh Alko 40/1, Veteran who has an all-or-nothing profile, seeing off his 6 rivals in game fashion at Southwell (24.3f, soft) in March before running poorly when pulled up at Uttoxeter 12 days later. Off 9 months and others make greater appeal on balance. Dug deep to win off this mark last March but absent since pulled up 12 days later.
4	1 4th (1) (12/1 -20%) God's Own Getaway		12 12/1(-20%)																															(1) God's Own Getaway 12/1, Low-mileage 6-y-o who caught the eye with ground he made up when third in a Warwick novice (19f) in November. Failed to confirm that promise on handicap bow at Wincanton since but it remains early days and application of cheekpieces may help now. Disappointed on recent handicap debut but probably still has potential.
15	15 |PU| (15) (8/1 +50%) He's My Shadow		8 8/1(+50%)																															(15) He's My Shadow 8/1, Placed in points and showed something to work on in novice/maiden hurdles during first half of last year. Absent since finishing fourth of 7 in handicap at Stratford (2m) in June but returns with yard amongst the winners and not one to write off. Has fitness to prove after a layoff but ran big race in C&D novice last March; interesting.
7	7 |PU| (7) (11/2 +31%) Deerstalker		5.5 11/2(+31%)																															(7) Deerstalker 11/2, Well held only start in bumpers but better for hurdles debut experience when fourth in a Plumpton novice (15.9f) 37 days ago, shaping better than distance beaten suggests in the process. Likely there's more to come now handicapping. Shaped with significant promise in 2m Plumpton novice last month; handicap debut today.
13	13 |PU| (13) (11/1 +56%) Champagne Rhythm		11 11/1(+56%)																															(13) Champagne Rhythm 11/1, C&D maiden hurdle winner in February 2021 but hasn't really threatened since over hurdles or fences. Cheekpieces on for first time. C&D winner; has a lot to prove but is very well handicapped; cheekpieces tried.
5	5 |PU| (5) (15/2 -7%) Danton		7.5 15/2(-7%)																															(5) Danton 15/2, Looked on the up when scoring at Exeter in November but lost action when pulled up in handicap hurdle there (21.6f, heavy) 23 days ago. Worth another chance. Opened account in November and had excuse when pulled up last month; remains of interest.
3	3 |PU| (3) (16/1 +20%) Inion Tiogair		16 16/1(+20%)																															(3) Inion Tiogair 16/1, Fair bumper winner last season who hasn't gone without promise in trio of novice/maiden hurdles at around 2m during second half of last year. Out of a 3m winner herself so this increase in trip could well help now attentions switch to handicaps. Began hurdling career with three fairly encouraging 2m runs here; up in trip today.
14	14 |PU| (14) (18/1 +10%) My Lady Phoenix		18 18/1(+10%)																															(14) My Lady Phoenix 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden who posted best effort yet when runner-up on qualifying hurdles run here (2m) in November. Checked out pretty tamely on handicap debut at Wincanton (19.8f) last month but it remains early days with her. Placed twice over hurdles but was pulled up when upped to 2m4f for handicap debut.
8	8 |PU| (8) (66/1 -100%) Ileny Royale		66 66/1(-100%)																															(8) Ileny Royale 66/1, Placed twice from 4 starts in minor events for Gabriel Leenders in France. However, friendless in the betting and offered little on handicap hurdle debut for new yard at Ffos Las (15.8f) in December. Up in trip now. Well beaten when 100-1 for last month's handicap debut at Ffos Las (2m, heavy).
12	12 |PU| (12) (80/1 -60%) Meranti		80 80/1(-60%)																															(12) Meranti 80/1, Mid-field both starts over hurdles in Ireland and signed off time for Stuart Crawford with fourth-place finish in a bumper in May. Little to shout about in 3 appearances for new yard, though, including on handicap debut at Hereford last time. Well-beaten 80-1 shot when upped to 3m1f for handicap debut in November; back in trip here.

16:20 Chepstow Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

In a wide-open event, marginal preference is for ACCIDENTAL LEGEND, who readily accounted for Jack Sprat at Uttoxeter shortly before Christmas. Off a 6lb higher mark, the seven-year-old merits the utmost respect once again. The unexposed Deerstalker has to be of some interest on his handicap bow, while Danton is another who warrants a place on the shortlist in the finale.

DANTON remains with potential if all is well (lost action when pulled up at Exeter just 3 weeks ago) and he's worth another chance. Mumbles is a live player, while Uttoxeter-winner Accidental Legend could go well again having notched up a hat-trick last season.

Perhaps the answer might be HE'S MY SHADOW, who made a bold attempt to dominate a C&D novice from the front last March.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
