1st (1) Amoola Gold (3/1 -71%)
Amoola Gold

3/1(-71%)
(1) Amoola Gold 3/1, Multiple winner over fences who made most of good opportunity to end losing run in Huntingdon novices' hurdle (20.6f) in January. Proved disappointing back over fences at Haydock since but he's a player in race of this nature returned to smaller obstacles.
2
2nd (2) Romancero Le Dun (1.25/1 -25%)
Romancero Le Dun

1.25/1(-25%)
(2) Romancero Le Dun 1.25/1, Didn't get beyond the first on debut at Warwick in November but quickly dispelled that when landing back-to-back juvenile hurdles at Exeter/Ludlow. Best not judged too harshly on his run in Fred Winter at Cheltenham last month and big shout returned to calmer waters.
3
3rd (7) Regally Blonde (2.75/1 +68%)
Regally Blonde

2.75/1(+68%)
(7) Regally Blonde 2.75/1, Fairly useful 13f Flat winner in Ireland for Andrew Oliver (sold for 62,000 gns in October). Unseated at the first on her hurdling debut and not threatened in a couple of starts since, midfield in a Warwick maiden (2m) 24 days ago. In receipt of plenty of weight here and claims of hitting the frame.
4
4th (6) Red Notice (22/1 -144%)
Red Notice

22/1(-144%)
(6) Red Notice 22/1, Point winner (at the fourth attempt) who was relatively short in the betting but ultimately shaped like a longer-term project when midfield in 11-runner Newton Abbot maiden (18.5f) on debut 7 days ago.
5th
5th (5) Henzo Des Boullats (150/1 +25%)
Henzo Des Boullats

150/1(+25%)
(5) Henzo Des Boullats 150/1, £10,000 3-y-o, Saddler Maker gelding. Dam ran once over hurdles in France. No promise in 2 hurdle outings to date.
6th
6th (4) Hammer Dan (28/1 +58%)
Hammer Dan

28/1(+58%)
(4) Hammer Dan 28/1, Fetched £62,000 after finishing second in a maiden point in February but showed little in trio of quick-fire hurdle starts this spring. Likely type for handicaps in due course.
7th
7th (3) Ballyrashane (9/1 +82%)
Ballyrashane

9/1(+82%)
(3) Ballyrashane 9/1, Off the mark at the fifth time of asking in Irish points in November but one for the long-term under Rules judged on his 2 starts over hurdles in recent weeks. Tongue tie fitted.
LTO Selection:

12:45 Chepstow Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

This represents a considerable drop in grade for ROMANCERO LE DUN, who struggled in the Boodles Juvenile Handicap Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival last month. The Jane Williams-trained gelding kept on well to score over this trip at Ludlow on his penultimate outing and must command respect given he receives a four-year-old allowance here. Amoola Gold reverts to timber following a disappointing spin over fences at Haydock and is feared ahead of Regally Blonde.

ROMANCERO LE DUN never figured in the Fred Winter last month but he had excuses then and, having looked progressive in juvenile events previously, he can capitalise on the return to calmer waters and come out on top. Amoola Gold, despite a lesser display over fences recently, can emerge as the chief threat.

Preference is for ROMANCERO LE DUN, a dual hurdle winner this season who can easily be excused his defeat at Cheltenham last month.

Imperial Jade

Yealand

3.5/1(+71%)
(2) Yealand 3.5/1, €60,000 3-y-o, Shirocco gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful hurdle Young Bull and fairly useful 3m hurdle winner/useful staying chaser Shanroe Santos. Makes appeal on paper and market should prove a useful guide on debut.

Kooky

3/1(+0%)
(1) Kooky 3/1, Kamsin gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful French hurdler/chaser Korkouee. Encouraging start when third in a Huntingdon bumper (15.8f) in January and type his yard do well with over hurdles.

4th (6) Phone Home (5/1 -25%)
Phone Home

5/1(-25%)
(6) Phone Home 5/1, Telescope filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful hurdler Midnight Jazz and fairly useful hurdler Coded Message. Makes definite appeal on paper and starts out for a yard amongst the winners, so one to note.
5th

Pennsylvanie

18/1(-300%)
(5) Pennsylvanie 18/1, Kayf Tara filly. Dam fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (15f-21f winner, stayed 3m). Fair form on 2 of her 3 starts in France this winter and subsequently acquired by current connections for €24,000 in February: Worth a second look on UK debut.
6th
6th (4) Jina (5.5/1 +21%)
Jina

5.5/1(+21%)
(4) Jina 5.5/1, Sent off a short price but was eased off on debut in December. Showed a bit more without threatening in couple of junior hurdles in recent months and possible her future will lie in handicaps/over further.
LTO Selection:

13:20 Chepstow Conditions Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

IMPERIAL JADE has been steadily progressive since making her racecourse debut in November and must hold every chance of building on a fair second at Newbury. The Charlie Longsdon-trained filly has gone well for Lilly Pinchin in the past and is fancied to break her duck. Kooky makes his hurdling bow and can give the selection plenty to think about if his Huntingdon bumper third is indicative of his talents. Jina finished a distant fourth at Taunton, but wasn't that far behind the selection prior to that.

Those with previous form don't set a tall standard and it could be worth chancing newcomer PHONE HOME. She makes appeal on paper and represents a yard in good form and it would come as no surprise to see a bold showing. French-recruit Pennsylvanie and Kooky, on his respective hurdles debut, head up the dangers.

Jane Williams' KOOKY made a promising bumper debut in January and may be too good for Jina and Imperial Jade here.

(6) Skinflint 3.33/1, Consistent sort who finally got off the mark under Rules here (19.5f) last month, coming clear in impressive fashion. Defied a 10 lb rise when following up over C&D last month and low-mileage 11-y-o should make a bold bid for the hat-trick.

Fortified Bay

28/1(-12%)
(1) Fortified Bay 28/1, Record distinctly patchy nowadays but on a going day when running out a convincing winner from the front at Kelso (21.5f) in January. Unsurprisingly not in same form next 2 starts and hard to know what to expect.
LTO Selection:

13:55 Chepstow Handicap Chase (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

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

Runner-up over timber on his two most recent outings, Yggdrasil can have a say in proceedings back over fences, especially given he is now rated 3lb below his last winning mark. However, there has been no stopping SKINFLINT of late and Henry Oliver's 11-year-old is fancied to secure a hat-trick. He went up 10lb from his extended 2m3f win here to his C&D triumph, so a further 7lb rise may not be enough to hold him back. Rock Of Star also bolted up over C&D most recently and is another to bear in mind.

ROCK OF STAR produced a career best when scoring in good style over C&D last month and can defy a 9 lb rise with that form working out well. Low-mileage veteran Skinflint looked better than ever when winning here on his last 2 starts so should make another bold bid, with Wild Romance best of the others.

Dan Skelton's mare WILD ROMANCE ran well behind an on-song course specialist at Warwick last month and might be the answer.

Chloe's Court

12/1(+14%)
(6) Chloe's Court 12/1, Dual hurdles winner who showed benefit of Hereford run when third in 9-runner Exeter handicap (23f) in February. Possibly found much quicker conditions against her when pulled up at Newbury but hard to find an excuse for Fontwell run since.
2

Our Bill's Aunt

3

Hellfire Princess

3.33/1(+67%)
(7) Hellfire Princess 3.33/1, Bumper winner who showed very little in her qualifying runs over hurdles but did at least offer a bit more when fifth on handicap debut over 21.9f at Ffos Las in January. Task is to now build on that.
4
4th (3) My Girl Katie (3.5/1 -27%)
My Girl Katie

She's So Lovely

6th
6th (1) Tequila Blaze (8.5/1 +15%)
Tequila Blaze

8.5/1(+15%)
(1) Tequila Blaze 8.5/1, Fairly useful winning hurdler who made mistakes before falling 2 out in handicap chase at Uttoxeter on debut over fences/return. Disappointing over both sets of obstacles since so plenty to prove, for all this is a drop in class.
7th
7th (5) Sweet Magic (2.75/1 -38%)
Sweet Magic

2.75/1(-38%)
(5) Sweet Magic 2.75/1, Has stepped up on her Irish bumper form sent hurdling for current yard, producing best effort when runner-up on second handicap start at Warwick 3 weeks ago (19f). Shapes as though worth a go at this sort of trip.
LTO Selection:

14:35 Chepstow Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

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

Sweet Magic shaped like her turn is near when runner-up over 2m3f at Warwick and although she should appreciate this stiffer test given her pedigree, she will need to settle better to see it out. With that in mind, MY GIRL KATIE makes slightly more appeal. The Grace Harris-trained six-year-old arrives in good heart having been beaten just half a length into third at Taunton last month, and a 1lb nudge in the ratings shouldn't dent her chances. Hellfire Princess completes the shortlist.

SWEET MAGIC has made a solid start over hurdles for new connections, and with this trip expected to be within range, she's the most persuasive option. My Girl Katie should give it another good go, with She's So Lovely a potential improver if a tongue tie helps her finishing effort.

The vote goes to Irish point winner MY GIRL KATIE, who has been progressive over hurdles and went close in a 3m handicap last time.

(3) Billingsley 16/1, Latest success gained off this mark at Ffos Las last February and placed first 3 starts this season, chasing home a handicap blot in first-time cheekpieces at Hereford (2m). Found run of good form coming to a halt at Uttoxeter latest but type to bounce back.

LTO Selection:

15:10 Chepstow Handicap Chase (Class 4) 19f Race Class Flow

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

GRIZZLY JAMES responded well to more positive tactics when winning at Hereford last week and with Ned Fox now on board to claim a handy 5lb, he's effectively running off the same mark as that success. Walk In The Wild returned to form when runner-up at Warwick and is feared most, although Striking Out should appreciate this slight drop in class from a 0-120 Doncaster contest and is another to consider.

WALK IN THE WILD bounced back to form when second at Warwick 16 days ago and can go one better for his in-form yard. Recent Hereford 1-2 Grizzly James and Abaya du Mathan are feared most.

Walk In The Wild is respected but the vote goes to GRIZZLY JAMES, who cashed in on a reduced mark with his clearcut win last week.

Kash Tara

7/1(+42%)
(7) Kash Tara 7/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Showed more than previously when fourth of 10 in novice hurdle at Southwell (2m) 76 days ago and could be more to come in handicaps for top stable.
LTO Selection:

15:45 Chepstow Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

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

BERT WILSON appeared revitalised by a 51-day absence when staying on strongly to win over C&D last month and a 7lb rise in the ratings may not prevent Nigel Hawke's gelding from completing a double. Just Over Land is bred to appreciate this longer distance and the four-year-old may have more to offer now entering handicaps. Royal Mer ran with more promise when second at Hereford and can't be dismissed off 1lb lower.

BERT WILSON found plenty when tackled at the last here last time and might be able to defy the handicapper again. Handicap-newcomers Just Over Land and Kash Tara are potentially dangerous opponents, particularly if the betting speaks in their favour.

This might go to well-bred juvenile JUST OVER LAND, who shaped with significant promise when third in a 2m maiden last month.

LTO Selection:

16:22 Chepstow Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

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

CAST'S TASHA put in a career best when filling second place over 2m4f at Uttoxeter two weeks ago and a reproduction of that level of form would give her a big chance in a moderate event. Rajjamataz showed some promise at Hexham last time and is one to note on his handicap bow, while similar comments apply to He's My Shadow.

DRAGOON SPRINGS shaped well a few times for Tony Carroll over hurdles and looks well treated on bumper form, so he might be worth chancing on debut for a new yard despite having a 14-month absence to overcome. Cast's Tasha looks a solid alternative and Rajjamataz deserves respect.

Robbie Llewellyn's HE'S MY SHADOW ran well under a very positive ride in a C&D maiden last month and might be able to dominate this.

Good Impression

40/1(-150%)
(10) Good Impression 40/1, Better than ever over hurdles this season, winning twice, and looked rusty back from 4 months off at Ffos Las in October. Might well bounce back but he's high enough in the weights.

Tiger Voice

50/1(+38%)
(9) Tiger Voice 50/1, Winning hurdler/chaser for Henry de Bromhead in Ireland but, having changed hands for £18,000 in October, he hasn't shown much spark for present connections.

80/1(-100%)
(5) Houston Bere 80/1, Fair winning hurdler/chaser for David Cottin in France in 2020. Absent for 892 days ahead of tame debut for new stable at Newcastle a month ago and has plenty to prove.

Mr Grey Sky

(1) Mr Grey Sky 12/1, All-the-way hurdles winner at Leicester and Ludlow last winter but hasn't fired yet this season. Stable is going quite well and handicapper has given him a chance.
LTO Selection:

16:52 Chepstow Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

SPIRIT D'AUNOU has made an excellent start to his career and completed a hat-trick when winning on his handicap bow at Sandown last month. Off just 5lb higher here, the Gary Moore-trained juvenile could be hard to stop once more. That said, Fiston De Becon has also been in good form of late and is an obvious threat as he goes in search of a three-timer of his own. Bertie's Wish is the pick of the remainder.

SPIRIT D'AUNOU comes here in search of a four-timer and hasn't finished improving, so he takes preference over Fiston de Becon, who also boasts a progressive profile. Mothill should run his race again.

The 4yo SPIRIT D'AUNOU (nap) completed a hat-trick when winning on his handicap debut at Sandown last month and can score again.

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.
