1
1st (5) (6/1 -33%) Storm Arising
6/1(-33%)
(5) Storm Arising 6/1, Winning reappearance at Lingfield in November and even better form when second (Farrants Way third) over 3m at Sandown (heavy) since. Further 2 lb rise unlikely to prevent another prominent showing.
2
2nd (1) (4/1 +33%) Ask Dillon
4/1(+33%)
(1) Ask Dillon 4/1, Dual winner over hurdles as a novice and placed in a couple of staying handicaps last season. Showed no ill-effects from a fall on chase debut when posting good in-frame efforts back hurdling since.
3
3rd (10) (3.2/1 +47%) Exploiteur
3.2/1(+47%)
(10) Exploiteur 3.2/1, Improver in handicaps this season, runner-up on return at Bangor prior to scoring at Ffos Las and over C&D. Further 6 lb rise looks manageable and trip/ground fine, so he needs considering.
4
4th (9) (9/1 -29%) Illegal Model
9/1(-29%)
(9) Illegal Model 9/1, Well held sole point start but winning debut under Rules in 23f Lingfield novice hurdle in the mud a year ago. Solid start to life in handicaps this term and remains unexposed.
5th
5th (7) (40/1 -60%) Perfect Man
40/1(-60%)
(7) Perfect Man 40/1, Gained a third win in his last 5 hurdle starts when seeing off Niblawi in 20.5f Leicester seller last month. Sold out of Olly Murphy's yard for £9,000 at the subsequent auction.
6th
6th (8) (80/1 -186%) Boyhood
80/1(-186%)
(8) Boyhood 80/1, Starting to look well treated on his peak efforts but hasn't been close to his best in 2 outings this term. Others more obvious.
7th
7th (11) (3/1 +14%) Farrants Way
3/1(+14%)
(11) Farrants Way 3/1, Showed waywardness in bumpers but no sign of that when making winning hurdle debut at Hereford in March. Even better form when third (Storm Arising second) in Sandown handicap on return. More to come.
8th
8th (4) (50/1 -100%) Sykes
50/1(-100%)
(4) Sykes 50/1, Landed a Pertemps qualifier from 6 lb higher in February 2019. Struggled to recapture that form (lightly raced) and well held on reappearance, albeit that run was very likely needed.
9th
9th (6) (22/1 -38%) Flashjack
22/1(-38%)
(6) Flashjack 22/1, Successful in mud at Haydock at this time last year. Returned with an encouraging effort at Aintree and not disgraced in a very competitive event at Haydock since.
|F|
|F| (3) (12/1 -50%) Clyne
12/1(-50%)
(3) Clyne 12/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2018 but did bounce back to form when second of 9 in handicap hurdle (5/1) at Haydock (3m, heavy) 21 days ago. Ought to be competitive.
10th
10th (12) (40/1 -43%) Oscar Asche
40/1(-43%)
(12) Oscar Asche 40/1, Winning pointer who opened hurdles account in a maiden hurdle here last January. Has failed to complete all 3 starts switched to fences this season and needs to bounce back returned to this sphere.
11th
11th (2) (33/1 -175%) Nordano
33/1(-175%)
(2) Nordano 33/1, Did well last season, culminating in 19f Ascot handicap win (heavy) in February, but he does need to bounce back from a disappointing run over 2m at Cheltenham in October. Up markedly in trip.
LTO Selection:
12:50 Chepstow Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(3) Ask Me Early 1.75/1, Winning pointer who duly stepped up on the form of his 2 runs over hurdles when making successful start to his chase career over C&D 35 days ago. Surely has more to offer for very much in-form yard.
2
2nd (6) (3.33/1 +5%) Hold That Taught
3.33/1(+5%)
(6) Hold That Taught 3.33/1, Novice hurdle winner in the mud last term who has posted 2 good efforts in novice handicap chases this time round. Likely to be in the shake-up.
3
3rd (5) (12/1 +0%) Golden Sovereign
12/1(+0%)
(5) Golden Sovereign 12/1, Ended last season with wins over hurdles at Uttoxeter (maiden) and Warwick (handicap). Pulled up on Aintree chase debut/reappearance in October but surely better than that.
4
4th (1) (14/1 -75%) The Wolf
14/1(-75%)
(1) The Wolf 14/1, Fairly useful hurdler who jumped soundly when making a winning start over fences over C&D in October. Didn't jump so well when only fifth of 7 in 3m Exeter novice 48 days ago. Needs to bounce back.
|F|
|F| (2) (3.5/1 +0%) Highland Hunter
3.5/1(+0%)
(2) Highland Hunter 3.5/1, Has registered a couple of good placed efforts in 3m handicap hurdles on heavy ground this term. This point winner appeals as the type to do at least as well over fences.
|F|
|F| (8) (28/1 -75%) Nikap
28/1(-75%)
(8) Nikap 28/1, Fair 2m hurdle winner who has quickly bettered that form over fences, including creditable third in 20.5f Cheltenham mares' handicap last month. Up in trip.
|U|
|U| (4) (8/1 -33%) Good And Hardy
8/1(-33%)
(4) Good And Hardy 8/1, Dual winning 3m hurdler last season and showed an aptitude for chasing when 8¼ lengths fourth to Ask Me Early on C&D reappearance. Open to progress
LTO Selection:
13:58 Chepstow Handicap Chase (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(1) Witness Protection 4.5/1, Promise in bumpers and improved plenty from hurdling debut 13 months on when off the mark in style at Stratford. Good second under a penalty at Wetherby and boasts leading claims in this.
2
2nd (3) (2.25/1 +44%) Can You Call
2.25/1(+44%)
(3) Can You Call 2.25/1, Fair form in bumpers for Andrew Martin, improving to win at Uttoxeter on return. Showed aptitude for hurdling on debut for new stable when fourth in novice at this course 35 days ago. Should improve.
3
3rd (10) (12/1 +40%) Sheldon
12/1(+40%)
(10) Sheldon 12/1, Fair form when in the frame all 3 starts and did shape better than previously after 10 months off at Plumpton last month. Makes hurdles debut and one to note if the market speaks in his favour.
4
4th (4) (2.5/1 +0%) Easy As That
2.5/1(+0%)
(4) Easy As That 2.5/1, Bred to be smart and very was impressive when landing a couple of bumpers last season. Only second of 4 in novice at Bangor on hurdling debut but entitled to do better 2 months on.
5th
5th (13) (80/1 -142%) Whatya On About
80/1(-142%)
(13) Whatya On About 80/1, €25,000 3-y-o, Schiaparelli gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Cannon Fodder. Dam temperamental maiden in bumpers/over hurdles.
6th
6th (7) (6/1 +0%) Neon Moon
6/1(+0%)
(7) Neon Moon 6/1, Point winner who offered something to work on when fourth in a bumper at Southwell and should benefit from a switch to jumping at a stiff track.
7th
7th (12) (300/1 -50%) Valentine's Turf
300/1(-50%)
(12) Valentine's Turf 300/1, Pulled up in Hereford novice hurdle for Christian Williams last November and didn't fare much better on return/debut for new yard at Ludlow 47 days ago.
8th
8th (6) (33/1 -65%) Imperial Esprit
33/1(-65%)
(6) Imperial Esprit 33/1, Broke blood vessel when pulled up in novice hurdle (6/4) at Plumpton (20.5f, soft) on hurdles bow, dropping away quickly. In excellent hands but returns after 13 months off with bit to prove now.
9th
9th (11) (125/1 -25%) Thundersockssundae
125/1(-25%)
(11) Thundersockssundae 125/1, Produced a promising first effort when second in a Ffos Las bumper in October. Yet to show much over hurdles, though.
10th
10th (9) (8/1 -14%) Revels Hill
8/1(-14%)
(9) Revels Hill 8/1, Point winner who made promising hurdling bow when sixth of 12 in novice at Leicester (20.5f, soft) 33 days ago. Open to improvement, so he's one to consider.
11th
11th (8) (125/1 -89%) Paddy's Return
125/1(-89%)
(8) Paddy's Return 125/1, Ocovango gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Detatched, stays 21f. Wears hood. Liable to need more time.

1
1st (17) (2.5/1 +38%) Secret Reprieve
2.5/1(+38%)
(17) Secret Reprieve 2.5/1, Low-mileage sort who posted a smart effort when seeing off The Two Amigos by 12 lengths in 3m handicap here (soft) 5 weeks ago. Well treated under 4 lb penalty with more to come.
2
2nd (9) (9/1 +25%) The Two Amigos
9/1(+25%)
(9) The Two Amigos 9/1, Likeable stayer who built on a good reappearance third when 12 lengths second to Secret Reprieve over 3m here 35 days ago. Goes off the same mark and should give another good account.
3
3rd (1) (12/1 +25%) Yala Enki
12/1(+25%)
(1) Yala Enki 12/1, Placed in the last 2 runnings of this. Good second on reappearance at Cheltenham and ought to be in the mix if none the worse for an early fall in the Becher at Aintree.
4
4th (12) (28/1 +30%) Captain Drake
28/1(+30%)
(12) Captain Drake 28/1, Second in Midlands National in March and won over hurdles on return. Below par back chasing since (well behind some of these here latterly) but yard in very good form at present. Tongue tie added.
5th
5th (13) (16/1 -33%) Prime Venture
16/1(-33%)
(13) Prime Venture 16/1, Good fourth in this last year off 4 lb lower and finally got off the mark over fences in 3-runner Sedgefield novice handicap on reappearance. One of 2 solid contenders for his yard.
6th
6th (16) (16/1 +0%) Bobo Mac
16/1(+0%)
(16) Bobo Mac 16/1, Useful chaser who shaped well when third to Secret Reprieve (The Two Amigos second) in 3m course handicap on reappearance 5 weeks ago. Respected with his yard continuing in good form.
7th
7th (2) (14/1 -40%) Truckers Lodge
14/1(-40%)
(2) Truckers Lodge 14/1, Runner-up in this last year before going one better in Midlands National in March. Went up 14 lb for that but didn't get the chance to show what he could do from new mark on reappearance (unseated).
8th
8th (10) (28/1 -40%) Big River
28/1(-40%)
(10) Big River 28/1, Wins over fences have come in small fields, latterly at Kelso (3m) in January, but he does have some good efforts to his name in big-field handicaps. Ought to be sharper with reappearance behind him.
9th
9th (4) (20/1 -67%) Lord Du Mesnil
20/1(-67%)
(4) Lord Du Mesnil 20/1, Progressive stayer last term. Beaten favourite in Kelso hurdle on return and midfield over 21f at Aintree (National fences) since. This trip more suitable but hard to be sure what form he's in.
|U|
|U| (6) (50/1 -100%) The Hollow Ginge
50/1(-100%)
(6) The Hollow Ginge 50/1, Very useful staying chaser on his day who reacted positively to a first-time visor (retained) when fourth of 18 at Ladbrokes Trophy at Newbury 6 weeks ago, staying on to be nearest finish.
10th
10th (7) (18/1 +36%) Vieux Lion Rouge
18/1(+36%)
(7) Vieux Lion Rouge 18/1, Added to excellent record over Aintree's National fences when notching second win in Becher. Course veterans' success last winter shows he's still very capable over regulation fences. 4 lb penalty.
11th
11th (5) (20/1 +0%) Cloudy Glen
20/1(+0%)
(5) Cloudy Glen 20/1, Improved when beating Christmas In April in Southern National on Fontwell reappearance but he struggles to string good efforts together and was only fifth at Sandown since.
12th
12th (3) (16/1 +20%) Ramses De Teillee
16/1(+20%)
(3) Ramses De Teillee 16/1, Enhanced good strike rate and better than ever in process when narrowly seeing off Yala Enki at Cheltenham in November. Probably worth forgiving a lesser run over National fences since.
13th
13th (11) (16/1 -14%) Dominateur
16/1(-14%)
(11) Dominateur 16/1, Won 2 3m novice handicap chases here last winter. Never a threat in Midlands National final start last term but that's not to say he can't make an impact in these races. Reappearance run creditable.
|PU|
|PU| (8) (8/1 +6%) Springfield Fox
8/1(+6%)
(8) Springfield Fox 8/1, Unbeaten in points and ready winner of first 2 chases last winter. Unseated in National Hunt Chase final start. Promising second in 3m course hurdle on return. Remains very much unexposed over fences.
|PU|
|PU| (15) (9/1 +10%) Christmas In April
9/1(+10%)
(15) Christmas In April 9/1, Thorough stayer who scored 3 times last season. As good as ever when 13 lengths second to Cloudy Glen in Southern National on return and should relish these conditions. Yard won this twice since 2016.
|PU|
|PU| (18) (40/1 -21%) Calipso Collonges
40/1(-21%)
(18) Calipso Collonges 40/1, Just the one win to his name over the larger obstacles but he did shape as if retaining ability when remote fourth to Vieux Lion Rouge in Becher on return from 12 months off in December.
|PU|
|PU| (14) (80/1 -60%) Joe Farrell
80/1(-60%)
(14) Joe Farrell 80/1, Won 2018 Scottish National and third to Truckers Lodge in Midlands National in March. Not at this best in 3 outings this term but is well handicapped if staging a revival.

1st (1) (6/1 -9%) Dame Du Soir
6/1(-9%)
(1) Dame Du Soir 6/1, Bumper/hurdles winner who scored over fences a year ago. Low-key start to the campaign, a runner-up effort last month hardly signifying a return to form.
2
2nd (4) (2.5/1 +9%) Poniente
2.5/1(+9%)
(4) Poniente 2.5/1, Surpassed bumper form when second of 8 on hurdles bow at Plumpton a year ago. Raced just twice since, settling better in a hood when third at Ludlow last month. Handicap debut.
3
3rd (5) (5/1 +69%) Zero To Hero
5/1(+69%)
(5) Zero To Hero 5/1, Still without a win and while she performed with credit when third over 21.6f here on penultimate start, she failed to build on that effort at Leicester last time.
4
4th (2) (1.62/1 -30%) Whiteoak Fleur
1.62/1(-30%)
(2) Whiteoak Fleur 1.62/1, Finally off the mark in 19.8f Sedgefield handicap hurdle last month, making all. Would have followed up but for several sketchy jumps late on at Kelso and a 4 lb rise looks lenient.
5th
5th (7) (20/1 +0%) Fleursals
20/1(+0%)
(7) Fleursals 20/1, Fair maiden on the Flat who showed ability in 4 juvenile hurdles for new yard last winter. Not in top form in either code this season.
6th
6th (3) (12/1 -71%) Doyannie
12/1(-71%)
(3) Doyannie 12/1, Fair form on second of 3 outings in bumpers last season but strictly below that level over hurdles so far. Unlikely to have shown full hand yet but opening mark is harsh.
7th
7th (6) (50/1 -52%) Equilibrium
50/1(-52%)
(6) Equilibrium 50/1, Just modest form over hurdles for W. P. Mullins in Ireland and had to be positive about what she achieved both starts to end 2020 for new yard fitted with a hood.

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.
