LAUGHING JOHN confirmed the promise that he displayed on debut when second at Hereford last time and the son of Postponed will not find many better opportunities than this to get off the mark. Mad Maxios was only beaten a neck when runner-up at Market Rasen most recently and could prove to be the main danger, while Uhtred Ragnarson edges out Dearkeithandkaty to be best of the rest.

Nicky Henderson's LAUGHING JOHN finished just ahead of a good yardstick when second at Hereford and can open his account here.

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

It is very hard to oppose TIMETOSHINE, who has won both of her outings over hurdles in impressive fashion. Given the strength of opposition here, Nicky Henderson's mare can easily defy a 12lb penalty. Crazy About Her may not have built on a promising second on debut in a bumper, but she's still the pick of the remainder ahead of Jackie Diamond.

This ought to be very straightforward for TIMETOSHINE, who impressed on her first two hurdling starts and cannot be opposed.

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

LUCKY LUGGER hit the crossbar when trying to follow up his Uttoxeter success at Leicester last time. That performance shows that the eight-year-old can be competitive off this mark and he appears to be the safest pick in an open event. Jet Of Dreams also arrives here in top form and has to be noted, while Boston Joe completes the shortlist.

The suggestion is BOSTON JOE, who has a very good strike-rate over fences and might be boosted by the new cheekpieces.

14:15 Chepstow (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow

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

AWAYTHELAD appeared to relish a step up in trip when successful over an extended 3m at Southwell last month and with the potential of more to come, Ben Pauling's charge can defy a 5lb rise and double his tally. The Boola Boss is 4lb higher than when on target at Newbury recently but he has a commendable strike-rate over fences and another bold bid looks likely, especially with Jamie Brace taking off a handy 5lb. Nothin To Ask finished a creditable second at Newcastle in December and is perhaps best placed to chase the pair home.

This looks good for AWAYTHELAD (nap), who was an emphatic winner when upped to 3m last month and could still be well treated.

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

SMUGGLERS HAVEN bumped into an improver when attempting to complete her hat-trick at Plumpton recently, but Sara Bradstock's mare is only 2lb higher for that performance and if progressing for a step up in trip, she will be tough to beat. Keppel Queen hit the frame over C&D last time out and is entitled to be thereabouts once again, while Phillapa Sue appeals most of the remainder.

Keppel Queen is respected but SMUGGLERS HAVEN looks more progressive and could have untapped potential at around 3m.

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

NINTH LOCH failed to see out an extended 2m4f at Newbury last time but, now down in trip, Harry Derham's gelding can be given another chance based on his previous third at Taunton. Estate Planning has made the frame on his last couple of starts and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Zambezi Fix is the clear pick of the remainder.

The verdict goes to NINTH LOCH who did well to finish third at Taunton two starts ago, having made a bad jumping error.

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

The unexposed VICTOR HAZE put in a career best when filling second place over 2m at this venue a couple of weeks ago. The eight-year-old arrives here off a 1lb lower mark and it would be no surprise to see him get off the mark. Marco's Light may improve now switched to handicap company, while similar comments apply to Bells Of Ufford.

Tentative preference is for IMPECUNIOUS, who is quite well treated if judged on last spring's good-ground novice form.

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.
