1	1 1st (1) (1.38/1 +45%) Jetoile		1.38 1.38/1(+45%)																															(1) Jetoile 1.38/1, Career best when winning 4-runner handicap chase (4/5) over C&D (good to soft) 40 days ago. 5 lb rise fair and holds strong follow-up claims. Pretty consistent sent chasing this term, winning a four-runner handicap over C&D latest.
2	5 2nd (5) (9/1 -38%) Le Ligerien		9 9/1(-38%)																															(5) Le Ligerien 9/1, Revitalised since having breathing op/joining Joe Tizzard this term, cosily completing his hat-trick in 2m Newbury handicap last month. Shaped as if still in good form when fourth at Newton Abbot (21f) latest and must enter calculations. Won first three starts for this yard; fair fourth latest, jumping issues playing a part.
3	3 3rd (3) (22/1 -83%) Jemima P		22 22/1(-83%)																															(3) Jemima P 22/1, Three from 3 in handicap chases around this trip in 2021-22 but not quite got going this term, let down by her jumping in listed race at Doncaster over Christmas. Been given a chance by the handicapper. Four wins in 2021; outclassed in December latest start; handicapper has given her a chance.
4	8 4th (8) (6/1 +63%) Gats And Co		6 6/1(+63%)																															(8) Gats And Co 6/1, Really got his act together in 2022, landing a 4-timer (including a hat-trick at this course) in staying handicap chases. Been largely disappointing since, however, and will likely find this trip on the sharp side. Cheekpieces on first time. Four months off and 3m5f when pulled up latest; long time since he tried trip this short.
5th	6 5th (6) (5/1 +44%) Enzo D'Airy		5 5/1(+44%)																															(6) Enzo D'Airy 5/1, Ran right up to his best when returning to winning ways over C&D in December and largely acquitted himself well in defeat since. Possibly found test too much when third at Newbury (22.4f, soft) last time and not discounted. May be best front-running nowadays, as when winning over C&D in December.
4	4 |F| (4) (4/1 +11%) Nothin To Ask		4 4/1(+11%)																															(4) Nothin To Ask 4/1, Fair novice hurdler last season who made a positive start over fences this term, scoring over C&D in October and following up at Doncaster (19.1f) a month later. Back on the up when second in a small-field handicap at Newbury latest and can't be ruled out. Chasing this term, hitting new heights with two wins and a 2nd on good ground.
2	2 |U| (2) (16/1 -357%) Northern Bound		16 16/1(-357%)																															(2) Northern Bound 16/1, Enhanced his fine strike rate over fences when taking 4-runner handicap (11/8) at Newbury (19.8f, good to firm) in November, bit in hand. Fairly treated on return to action and must be taken seriously. 7-13 over fences; readiness after layoff is a stumbling block judged on previous campaigns.

LTO Selection:

18:25 Chepstow Handicap Chase (Class 3) 19f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

6.5/1 (5) LE LIGERIEN and 4.5/1 (4) NOTHIN TO ASK seem like strong contenders based on their recent form and previous success over course and distance. 2.5/1 (1) JETOILE also has a good chance based on consistent form and a recent win over course and distance. 9/1 (6) ENZO D'AIRY and 4/1 (2) NORTHERN BOUND cannot be ruled out entirely but may need to improve or overcome past issues. 10/1 (7) MOONLIGHTER and 14/1 (8) GATS AND CO may struggle with the distance or recent form respectively. 12/1 (3) JEMIMA P could be a wildcard with previous success in handicap chases but has not performed as well this term.

Northern Bound has been highly consistent over fences and again looks a player at this level off just 2lb higher than his Newbury success last November, while Le Ligerien also makes some appeal. However, JETOILE was a very comfortable winner over C&D last month and, as he has bags of scope to improve over the trip, a 5lb higher mark may not be enough to prevent the gelding from following up.

Dual course winner JETOILE is still relatively low mileage for his age and remains on a workable mark. He gets the nod in a tricky-looking contest. Northern Bound and Le Ligerien rate the principal dangers.

Preference is for JETOILE who has had the form of his clearcut win over C&D last month boosted by the runner-up.

1	6 1st (6) (4.5/1 +25%) Takeit Easy		4.5 4.5/1(+25%)																															(6) Takeit Easy 4.5/1, Four-time winning hurdler over 2m who hasn't shown his form in 4 outings this season but has shaped better than the result on a couple of occasions (still with a bit to do but not properly asked for effort when hampered and unseated 3 out in valuable Haydock contest latest). Interesting. Yet to hit top gear this season but lurks on a good mark and can't be ruled out.
2	1 2nd (1) (3.33/1 +0%) Hardy Du Seuil		3.33 3.33/1(+0%)																															(1) Hardy Du Seuil 3.33/1, Has had a good campaign over hurdles, winning 2m Sandown handicap in January and going close behind a course specialist at Wetherby in first-time cheekpieces 4 weeks ago, ridden more positively and pulling clear of the rest. Raised 3 lb but can go well again. Won good-quality Sandown handicap in January and ran big race in defeat last month.
3	8 3rd (8) (8/1 -7%) Shared		8 8/1(-7%)																															(8) Shared 8/1, Has made a good start over hurdles for new yard, winning 2m novices at Wetherby and Doncaster this year. Well beaten off stiff-looking mark in the Fred Winter 6 weeks ago though and suspect he'll need some respite from the handicapper. Found Boodles 4yo handicap too hot last month but won two of first three hurdle races.
4	7 4th (7) (6/1 +57%) Zambezi Fix		6 6/1(+57%)																															(7) Zambezi Fix 6/1, Finally opened his account for present connections when cosy winner of C&D handicap in February. Good run at Taunton next time but let down by jumping at Ffos Las latest. Still not on a bad mark. Didn't fire last time but now only 1lb higher than for game C&D win in February.
5th	4 5th (4) (16/1 +27%) Rathmacknee		16 16/1(+27%)																															(4) Rathmacknee 16/1, Quickened up to lead late on at Doncaster (19.5f) in December but it's been a write-off since, folding tamely the last twice (stumbled badly first, folded rapidly leaving back straight in C&D race won by Zambezi Fix 9 weeks ago). Fair bit to prove. Won a shade cosily at Doncaster in December but pulled up three times since.
6th	3 6th (3) (14/1 -75%) Lunar Sovereign		14 14/1(-75%)																															(3) Lunar Sovereign 14/1, Made good strides as a novice during 2020/21 campaign, winning twice over 2m, but lightly raced since, not seen again after his first run for 15 months at Market Rasen last June (final run for Fergal O'Brien). Interesting to see what the market makes of him starting out for new stable. Not seen since finishing fourth of six on handicap debut last June; stable debut today.
7th	2 7th (2) (5/1 -11%) Soul Icon		5 5/1(-11%)																															(2) Soul Icon 5/1, Proved a different proposition switched to handicaps, finding another chunk of improvement when making it 7 wins from 8 starts at Cheltenham (16.4f) in October. Poor return off this mark at Aintree after 6 months off but may have needed that and conditions were testing. This is easier. Flopped at Aintree this month but won seven of his first eight handicaps.
8th	9 8th (9) (125/1 -89%) Atholl Street		125 125/1(-89%)																															(9) Atholl Street 125/1, Maiden/novice hurdle winner at Taunton in late 2020 but it's been a struggle since, including in 3 starts for current yard in the last 7 weeks. Has struggled to get competitive for new stable this season; revival needed.
5	5 |F| (5) (4.5/1 -13%) Deere Mark		4.5 4.5/1(-13%)																															(5) Deere Mark 4.5/1, Folded as if amiss in the Morebattle at Kelso last month but had been going the right way before that, winning 2m events at Hereford and Kempton under this rider. Still early days for him and he could get back on the up. Disappointed in valuable handicap last month but remains a promising novice.

19:00 Chepstow Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

3.33/1 (1) HARDY DU SEUIL has had a good campaign and is predicted to do well again despite being raised 3 lb. 4.5/1 (2) SOUL ICON is also a strong contender, having won seven of his first eight handicaps and proven to be a different proposition when switched to handicaps. 6/1 (6) TAKEIT EASY and 8/1 (3) LUNAR SOVEREIGN are interesting options to keep an eye on, while 22/1 (4) RATHMACKNEE and 66/1 (9) ATHOLL STREET have struggled recently and may need a revival.

HARDY DU SEUIL showed improvement in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when he was a close second in a series qualifier at Wetherby 28 days ago, and he may be able to go one place better off just 3lb higher. Soul Icon may have been in need of the run at Aintree a fortnight ago and also rates as a player with Harry Kimber, who has won five times aboard the gelding, back in the saddle. Shared is another to note.

TAKEIT EASY lurks on a very tempting mark (10 lb lower than for last success) and could be the way to go having not enjoyed much luck in a stronger race at Haydock 3 weeks ago. Hardy du Seuil can go well again, while it remains early days for Sam Thomas' Deere Mark and he could get back on the up after struggling in the Morebattle.

Another chance can be given to DEERE MARK, who looks very promising before his disappointing run in a hot handicap last month.

1	5 1st (5) (1.25/1 +55%) Honey I'm Good		1.25 1.25/1(+55%)																															(5) Honey I'm Good 1.25/1, Not much promise under Rules but she's a multiple point winner who arrives on the back of a solid showing in this sphere, so could pose the main threat to First Preference. 3-17 in points; no match for winner when second this month but should give a good account.
2	4 2nd (4) (0.91/1 -36%) First Preference		0.91 0.91/1(-36%)																															(4) First Preference 0.91/1, Prolific point winner, including on last 5 starts (latest Apr 8), and looks to have been found a winnable race on Rules debut. Should take all the beating. Has won his last five points and is the one to beat on today's rules debut.
3	1 3rd (1) (12/1 +57%) Debacle		12 12/1(+57%)																															(1) Debacle 12/1, Winning pointer but performed poorly in that sphere last time and his Rules form is far from inspiring. Has won 2-3 of his last three points but the form isn't anything to get excited about.
2	2 |PU| (2) (16/1 -60%) Dower Caves		16 16/1(-60%)																															(2) Dower Caves 16/1, Half-brother to modest hurdler Dynamic Kate, stays 3m. Dam (h120) bumper/21f-3m hurdle winner. Maiden pointer, third last time (Apr 1). Wears cheekpieces for Rules bow. Close second to Debacle in maiden point on last month's stable debut; has more to do here.

19:35 Chepstow Hunter Chase (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

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

It is likely that 0.67/1 (4) FIRST PREFERENCE will do well based on the summary as they have won their last five points and are expected to perform well on their Rules debut. 2.75/1 (5) HONEY I'M GOOD and 9/1 (2) DOWER CAVES may provide some competition, but 28/1 (1) DEBACLE's form is not promising.

Debacle struck between the flags last time out and he demands the utmost respect, as does Dower Caves, who could benefit from a return to this sounder surface. The one to beat, however, is FIRST PREFERENCE. A winner of his last five point-to-points, the gelded son of Publisher is fancied to make an immediate impact under Rules. Honey I'm Good will need more if she's to feature.

FIRST PREFERENCE has won his last 5 outings between the flags and this doesn't look much of a race, so he should be able to make a successful start in hunters. Honey I'm Good looks the main danger.

It's very hard to get away from FIRST PREFERENCE, who has impressed in all three points for his new stable this year.

1	4 1st (4) (14/1 -56%) Ballydisco		14 14/1(-56%)																															(4) Ballydisco 14/1, Improved for the step up to 3m when dead-heating with subsequent winner in Ffos Las handicap but only seventh in similar company at Exeter 17 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Rallied to dead-heat for 1st at Ffos Las (3m, heavy) but tailed off at Exeter 17 days ago.
2	1 2nd (1) (7/1 -40%) Ballymagroarty Boy		7 7/1(-40%)																															(1) Ballymagroarty Boy 7/1, Sole win came in 2018 but he arrives in good nick, second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Exeter (23.1f, heavy) 17 days ago. Can go well again. 1-28 and the win was in 2018; bang there most starts this season and short-headed latest.
3	12 3rd (12) (14/1 +30%) Nickelsonthedime		14 14/1(+30%)																															(12) Nickelsonthedime 14/1, Opened his account in a 25f Warwick handicap in May 2022 but his form has been up and down since. Percentage call is to look elsewhere. Won off 1lb higher last May; he's not refound his form in five starts since summer break.
4	14 4th (14) (5.5/1 +31%) Bobalot		5.5 5.5/1(+31%)																															(14) Bobalot 5.5/1, C&D winner in October. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Haydock (24.3f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Merits consideration. Won over C&D (good to soft) off this mark on handicap debut; cheekpieces in revival bid.
5th	9 5th (9) (10/1 +17%) Langley Hundred		10 10/1(+17%)																															(9) Langley Hundred 10/1, Dual 23f winner in November and posted a creditable third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Exeter (23.1f, good) 49 days ago. In the mix. His poor show two runs ago was on soft; probably needs extra but may have more to offer.
6th	7 6th (7) (8.5/1 -6%) Betterforeveryone		8.5 8.5/1(-6%)																															(7) Betterforeveryone 8.5/1, Got off the mark at Bangor (23f) in October and looked set for a creditable fourth when falling 2 out at Plumpton last time. Player off a 2 lb lower mark here with few miles still on the clock. Hasn't repeated his winning reappearance form; low-mileage, which offers hope of better.
7th	6 7th (6) (25/1 -150%) Aimee De Sivola		25 25/1(-150%)																															(6) Aimee De Sivola 25/1, Back on song in first-time cheekpieces when second of 5 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (25.5f, good to soft) 35 days ago. Not ruled out with headgear retained. Runner-up on two of last three starts (cheekpieces latest) but needs to refind some extra.
8th	11 8th (11) (11/1 +8%) Haven't Time		11 11/1(+8%)																															(11) Haven't Time 11/1, Winning pointer who was in process of running well when falling in hunter chase here on Rules debut in January 2022. However, has finished safely held in both starts over hurdles for new yard this year. Improvement needed on handicap bow. Bold show in hunter chase in January 2022 on rules debut; interesting on handicap debut.
9th	8 9th (8) (7.5/1 +38%) Halifax		7.5 7.5/1(+38%)																															(8) Halifax 7.5/1, Gained a deserved first success at Exeter (23f) in February but only ninth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Haydock (24.3f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Sort to bounce back, however. Well beaten in a warm race latest and he's one to consider with his sights lowered again.
2	2 |U| (2) (2.75/1 +39%) Equinus		2.75 2.75/1(+39%)																															(2) Equinus 2.75/1, Made a successful handicap debut at Ffos Las (20f) in January and got back on track when third of 9 in handicap at Newbury (18.8f, soft) 34 days ago. Up in trip and not taken lightly. First season and further improvement is possible over new trip, so he could have a say.
10th	10 10th (10) (33/1 -50%) Potters Venture		33 33/1(-50%)																															(10) Potters Venture 33/1, Scored over fences on his yard debut at Newton Abbot (25.8f) in October but well held since, tried in cheekpieces at Taunton last time. Others appeal more. Won stable debut in a 3m2f chase in October; four heavy defeats have followed.
11th	3 11th (3) (40/1 -60%) Chinwag		40 40/1(-60%)																															(3) Chinwag 40/1, Did well over fences last season, scoring at Ffos Las and Plumpton, but he's yet to fire this term, blinkers on when only seventh in Uttoxeter handicap hurdle last time. Lots more is needed. This is his first season without a win, right out of form in headgear on last three starts.
12th	13 12th (13) (25/1 -39%) Trixster		25 25/1(-39%)																															(13) Trixster 25/1, C&D winner but arrives below par over fences, unseated rider 9th in handicap at Wincanton (25.1f, soft) 50 days ago. Switches to hurdles with cheekpieces on for 1st time. Back from chasing (first time since last April); 7lb lower than chase mark; first headgear.
5	5 |PU| (5) (66/1 -230%) Round The Buoy		66 66/1(-230%)																															(5) Round The Buoy 66/1, Fair winning hurdler for David Dunne but off 10 months before pulled up in handicap chase at Punchestown in January. Needs to bounce back for his new yard. Ex-Irish, having changed hands and left David Dunne; perhaps best watched today.

20:10 Chepstow Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, 4.5/1 (2) EQUINUS and 8/1 (14) BOBALOT seem to have the best chances of doing well in their upcoming races. 4.5/1 (2) EQUINUS has shown improvement in his first season and could have a say in the new trip, while 8/1 (14) BOBALOT has won over C&D on his handicap debut and has cheekpieces on for the first time. 10/1 (6) AIMEE DE SIVOLA and 12/1 (8) HALIFAX could also be in the mix for a good performance.

Having been narrowly denied at Exeter earlier this month, Ballymagroarty Boy appears likely to throw down another stern challenge, while at the foot of the handicap Bobalot is back down to his sole winning mark, which came over C&D, and must enter calculations too. However, in an open event, EQUINUS shades the vote. Nigel Twiston-Davies' charge ought to benefit from a step up in trip and drop in class, having contested a warm 0-130 at Newbury 34 days ago.

Alan King's Bangor scorer BETTERFOREVERYONE still has few miles on the clock and comes here on a handy-looking mark so gets the nod in a very open handicap. Ballymagroarty Boy is feared most on the back of his good Exeter second, with Langley Hundred and Halifax two more who need considering.

A bold show in a hunter chase last January is the eyecatching run from HAVEN'T TIME (nap) and he now makes his handicap debut.

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.
