(3) Won't Stand Down 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 16/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (heavy) 25 days ago. More needed from current mark. Easy to back at 16-1 when fifth of the seven runners on her C&D handicap debut.

1st (1) (11/8 +31%) Jacquelina
1.375
11/8(+31%)
(1) Jacquelina 11/8, Five wins from 13 runs this year. 5/4, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this C&D (good) 8 days ago by 3½ lengths from Louis Treize. Expected to be bang there in his quest for the 5-timer. Engaged 2.38 Thirsk Friday. Narrowly denied the five-timer at Thirsk on Friday; 5lb higher today but respected.

2nd (2) (12/1 -243%) Howzak
12
12/1(-243%)
(2) Howzak 12/1, Creditable third of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good, 40/1) 8 days ago. Eased further 1 lb and he's a player on that run. Five-time AW winner; making his turf debut here last week and ran well to make the frame.

3rd (5) (12/1 -140%) Wedgewood
12
12/1(-140%)
(5) Wedgewood 12/1, Latest win at Lingfield in May. Bit below form fourth of 10 in handicap at Brighton (5.3f, good to soft, 11/4) 30 days ago. Lower turf mark is justified. Just missed out on the places last time after getting competitive some way out.

4th (4) (33/1 -633%) Alfred Cove
33
33/1(-633%)
(4) Alfred Cove 33/1, One win from 31 Flat runs. Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. Good second of 7 in handicap at Leicester (5f, good to soft, 4/1) 4 days ago. Frustratingly 1-31, especially after finishing runner-up in his last four starts.
5th

5th (7) (66/1 -1220%) Louis Treize
66
66/1(-1220%)
(7) Louis Treize 66/1, Tricky customer. C&D winner. 12/1, creditable 3½ lengths second of 9 to Jacquelina in handicap at this C&D (good) 8 days ago, no match for winner. Comes with risks attached. Last year's winner; may reverse last week's placings with Jacquelina.
6th

6th (6) (80/1 -220%) Darkened Edge
80
80/1(-220%)
(6) Darkened Edge 80/1, Thirteenth of 15 in handicap (18/1) at Bath (5.7f, good) 24 days ago. Must improve. She started her handicap career with an 11l defeat at Bath (5.7f, good) last month.
17:25 Chepstow Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Alfred Cove and Howzak are taken seriously on the back of improved recent form but this could be an ideal opportunity for WEDGEWOOD to register a first win on turf. The four-year-old posted a respectable effort back on grass at Brighton last month and, with the likelihood of fast ground, the Tony Carroll-trained filly has a strong chance of exploiting a lenient mark in comparison to her all-weather rating. Jacquelina would also be a key player if turned out quickly after Friday's second at Thirsk.
JACQUELINA is absolutely thriving and has a significant class edge over her rivals, so is fancied to successfully concede plenty of weight and complete the 5-timer if taking up the engagement. Howzak may offer most resistance.
Last year's winner LOUIS TREIZE can reverse last week's C&D placings with Jacquelina, who ran well again yesterday.
(6) Violet Love 7/4, Twice-raced filly. Second of 8 in maiden (5/2) at Brighton (5.3f, good) 49 days ago. The one to beat. Havana Grey filly who sets the standard on her close seconds at Southwell and Brighton.
2
3
2nd (3) (15/2 -50%) Jane Garfield
7.5
15/2(-50%)
(3) Jane Garfield 15/2, Twice-raced filly. Third of 10 in maiden (15/2) at Doncaster (5f, firm) 21 days ago. Should make her presence felt. Two good runs; likely to need more here but doesn't have masses to find.
3
2
3rd (2) (66/1 -32%) Go Steelers Go
66
66/1(-32%)
(2) Go Steelers Go 66/1, Twice-raced filly. 14/1, eighth of 9 in maiden at Brighton (6f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Hard to warm to. Speedy pedigree but has made quiet start and was well behind Could She Be Magic last time.
4
7
4th (7) (11/1 -175%) Could She Be Magic
11
11/1(-175%)
(7) Could She Be Magic 11/1, Twice-raced filly. Second of 9 in maiden at Brighton (6f, good to soft, 9/1) 11 days ago. Will need to raise her game in order to go one better here. Well beaten at Bath but was a lot wiser at Brighton and only narrowly failed to get up.
5th
8
5th (8) (150/1 -971%) Sienna Gold
150
150/1(-971%)
(8) Sienna Gold 150/1, Twice-raced filly. Fifth of 14 in maiden at Bath (5.7f, good, 66/1) 24 days ago. Probably more one for nurseries in due course. Sent to Bath for first two races, faring better second time but even then beaten nearly 8l.
6th
4
6th (4) (125/1 -2678%) Miami Memories
125
125/1(-2678%)
(4) Miami Memories 125/1, Foaled March 28. £32,000 yearling, Muhaarar filly. Half-sister to 5f winner Golden Rainbow and useful winner up to 6f Knebworth. Yard is no stranger to success with first-time-out 2-y-os and she's one to monitor closely in the betting. £32,000 yearling; useful sprinting pedigree and in a top yard, so of obvious interest.
7th
1
7th (1) (80/1 -100%) Glamorous Jewel
80
80/1(-100%)
(1) Glamorous Jewel 80/1, Foaled May 3. Ardad filly. Dam 5f winner out of useful winner up to 5f (including at 2 yrs) Glamorous Spirit. Yard rarely strikes with newcomers. Second foal; dam 5f winner (RPR 85), closely related to multiple 5f winner Glamorous Force.
8th
5
8th (5) (250/1 -3471%) Subsonictoshannon
250
250/1(-3471%)
(5) Subsonictoshannon 250/1, Twice-raced filly. Fourth of 8 in maiden at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 3/1) 26 days ago. Each-way shout. Close up on debut and fractious at the start when not so good second time out.
9th
9
9th (9) (300/1 -1100%) Tiggy Webber
300
300/1(-1100%)
(9) Tiggy Webber 300/1, Once-raced filly. Seventh of 8 in maiden (5/1) at Brighton (6f, good to soft) on debut 11 days ago. Will need to leave that form well behind if she's to play a leading role. Started slowly and always behind at Brighton 11 days ago, not showing much at all.
18:00 Chepstow Maiden (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
VIOLET LOVE hasn't done much wrong so far and is taken to build on her two second-placed finishes to go one better. A potential pace angle, the selection could be too wily for the likes of Miami Memories and Glamorous Jewel, who are notable debutants given that they are both related to winning sprinters. Could She Be Magic appeals most from the remainder.
The in-form Ralph Beckett yard had a first-time-out 2-y-o winner on Wednesday and MIAMI MEMORIES could be another. There is no shortage of speed in her pedigree and she gets the nod ahead of Violet Love, who is the clear pick of those with experience following her near-misses at Southwell and Brighton. Jane Garfield is best of the rest.
Violet Love is clearly up to winning a maiden of this nature but the speedily-bred newcomer MIAMI MEMORIES is worth chancing.
18:00 Chepstow Maiden (Class 5) 5f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(1) Rosy Affair 6/5, Dead-heated to win 8-runner novice event at Chelmsford City in February. 15/8, second of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 40 days ago. Should have more to offer and good shout back against her own age group on turf debut. Novice winner who was no match for an Irish raider on handicap debut.
2
2
2nd (2) (6/1 +20%) Miss Anya
6
6/1(+20%)
(2) Miss Anya 6/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in May. Seventh of 11 in handicap (16/1) at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) 28 days ago. Looks vulnerable. Got behind when below par last time and she's a better filly when up with the pace.
3
5
3rd (5) (5/1 +23%) Via Blanca
5
5/1(+23%)
(5) Via Blanca 5/1, Latest win at Southwell in March. Respectable third of 7 in handicap at Salisbury (5f, good, 15/2) 14 days ago. This looks easier and one to consider. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Didn't run badly last time at Salisbury but both wins and best form has been on the AW.
4
4
4th (4) (5/1 -11%) Wrestling Revenue
5
5/1(-11%)
(4) Wrestling Revenue 5/1, Winner at Brighton in May. 9/1, fifth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) 28 days ago, tricky draw. Respected. Brighton winner who never threatened to follow up at Lingfield; 4lb above winning mark.
5th
3
5th (3) (40/1 -1043%) Looby
40
40/1(-1043%)
(3) Looby 40/1, Winner at Brighton in September. Last of 11 in nursery at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 11/4) 6 months ago, found to have an irregular heartbeat. Progressive form until clearly failing to give her running the final time (Nov).
18:30 Chepstow Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
All of these already have winning form and while the likes of Rosy Affair and Looby are open to progression on turf, WRESTLING REVENUE could be the way to go off just 4lb higher than last month's success over an extended 5f at Brighton. The selection wasn't disgraced when fifth in a similar race at Lingfield on his latest start and he may have more to offer.
ROSY AFFAIR is easily the least exposed and should have more to offer now switched to turf so could be hard to beat. Wrestling Revenue may prove to be the danger.
A chance is taken on LOOBY who was nicely progressive until failing to give her running on final appearance of last year.
(6) Signcastle City 11/1, Latest win at Bath in May. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good, 12/1) 21 days ago. This is easier. Useful 1m win in May; held at bay since but well worth considering back over 7f.
2
11
2nd (11) (11/2 -100%) King Of War
5.5
11/2(-100%)
(11) King Of War 11/2, C&D winner. 11/1, first run since leaving Alexandra Dunn when good second of 9 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good to soft) on return 11 days ago. Big player if building on that. Ran up to his best on reappearance for new yard; two from three over C&D; obvious claims.
3
3
3rd (3) (33/1 -633%) Hat Toss
33
33/1(-633%)
(3) Hat Toss 33/1, 13/2, creditable third of 7 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good to soft) 4 days ago. Continues in good form and one to consider with strongly-run race over this trip likely to suit. Sole win over 7f last June; two good efforts for new yard of late; competitive again.
4
4
4th (4) (28/1 -180%) Able Kane
28
28/1(-180%)
(4) Able Kane 28/1, 16/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Goodwood (7f, good) 15 days ago. Chance if rediscovering old form. Below best in 2024; 10lb lower than good C&D run in August; yard won 2 of last 3 runnings.
5th
5
5th (5) (350/1 -1650%) Lyndon B
350
350/1(-1650%)
(5) Lyndon B 350/1, Won 7f handicap at Glorious Goodwood in 2022 and now below that mark. 28/1, fifteenth of 20 in handicap at York (7f, good) 22 days ago. Useful 1m and 7f handicap form in 2022 but had slow season last year and well held in 2024.
6th
9
6th (9) (125/1 -1463%) Flying Secret
125
125/1(-1463%)
(9) Flying Secret 125/1, Recorded back-to-back wins in June last year. Failed to build on an encouraging AW return when ninth of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good to firm, 8/1) 20 days ago (Hat Toss second) but no great surprise to see him bounce back. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Two 7f wins last June; well handicapped but off beam latest and cheekpieces now fitted.
7th
8
7th (8) (100/1 -1567%) Eagle Day
100
100/1(-1567%)
(8) Eagle Day 100/1, Dual winner over longer trip at Wolverhampton last winter. 11/2, creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at Haydock (7f, good) 28 days ago. One to consider. Yet to win on grass and turf mark went up alongside AW one following winter wins.
8th
7
8th (7) (40/1 -400%) Youarenotforgiven
40
40/1(-400%)
(7) Youarenotforgiven 40/1, Bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap (9/1) at Leicester (8.2f, good to soft) 12 days ago. On a tempting mark now. Ground slower than ideal this year; now 1lb lower than latest win; better show this time.
9th
2
9th (2) (350/1 -4275%) Ernie's Valentine
350
350/1(-4275%)
(2) Ernie's Valentine 350/1, Latest win at Kempton in April. Fifth of 6 in handicap at Carlisle (7.8f, good to firm, 4/1) 19 days ago, slowly away. Hasn't won on turf since debut; fair 4th at 1m latest and this test likely to suit better.
10th
10
10th (10) (450/1 -800%) Secret Strength
450
450/1(-800%)
(10) Secret Strength 450/1, 40/1, 24¾ lengths seventh of 8 to Signcastle City in handicap at Bath (8f, heavy) 33 days ago. Suited by 7f on good or quicker ground; turnaround possible after two 1m defeats.
11th
1
11th (1) (400/1 -1900%) Assessment
400
400/1(-1900%)
(1) Assessment 400/1, Displayed useful form when winning 2 of his first 4 starts for Sir Michael Stoute. Has lost his way though, seventh of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, firm, 25/1) 21 days ago. Hooded for 1st time. Two 1m wins for Sir M Stoute; not yet found level for new yard; first 7f run since debut.
19:00 Chepstow Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
KING OF WAR ended last season with a victory over track and trip, and finished a creditable second at Brighton on his reappearance. That was his first start for Michael Wigham's yard and another bold bid is expected. Hat Toss was third at Leicester earlier in the week and has a chance with his rider's 5lb allowance helping his cause, while Flying Secret could go well with cheekpieces applied for the first time.
KING OF WAR has a good record here and made a bright start for his new yard at Brighton recently so gets the vote. Hat Toss, Flying Secret and Eagle Day are dangers.
King Of War is right in the reckoning but ABLE KANE (nap) also catches the eye on his C&D form in a better race last summer.
(7) Bama Lama 7/1, C&D winner. Creditable third of 10 in handicap (11/1) at Bath (5.7f, good) 15 days ago. Place possibilities. On a workable mark and comes here after solid runs at Windsor and Bath.
2
1
2nd (1) (10/1 +17%) Vape
10
10/1(+17%)
(1) Vape 10/1, C&D winner. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 11/2). Off 157 days and it's probably best to look elsewhere. Yard also saddles Iconic Knight. Potentially well handicapped but he lacks a recent run and had lost his way when last seen.
3
10
3rd (10) (16/1 -60%) Lupset Flossy Pop
16
16/1(-60%)
(10) Lupset Flossy Pop 16/1, One win from 29 Flat runs, which was registered back in 2022. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good, 20/1) 15 days ago. Others make more appeal from a win point of view. Fair 4th last time at Bath but can flatter to deceive and others appeal more for the win.
4
9
4th (9) (12/1 +14%) Port Noir
12
12/1(+14%)
(9) Port Noir 12/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in April. Seventh of 10 in handicap (16/1) at Bath (5.7f, good) 15 days ago. Looks vulnerable for win purposes. Behind two of these last time at Bath but this quicker surface will assist.
5th
6
5th (6) (18/1 -555%) Diamondsinthesand
18
18/1(-555%)
(6) Diamondsinthesand 18/1, One win from 30 Flat runs. Good second of 13 in handicap at this course (7.1f, heavy, 9/1) 25 days ago. Has to be taken seriously. Case can be made on lots of his runs and he didn't get much luck when second over 7f here.
6th
5
6th (5) (40/1 -100%) Vaunted
40
40/1(-100%)
(5) Vaunted 40/1, 50/1, last of 9 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm), slowly away. Off 10 months and probably best watched on debut for new yard, which saddles a more appealing candidate in Diamondsinthesand. Three wins but lost her way badly last year and was sold on for 1,000gns.
7th
2
7th (2) (40/1 -567%) The Cola Kid
40
40/1(-567%)
(2) The Cola Kid 40/1, Below form tenth of 26 in handicap (50/1) at Ascot (6f, good to firm) 28 days ago. Probably weighed up to his best for now. Close to his last winning mark and Ascot last time was always going to be tough.
8th
8
8th (8) (125/1 -3025%) Sisters In The Sky
125
125/1(-3025%)
(8) Sisters In The Sky 125/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. Respectable fifth of 15 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good, 15/2) 24 days ago, nearest finish. Looks competitive on form. Would have been closer at Bath (5.7f) last time with a clearer passage.
9th
3
9th (3) (250/1 -658%) Iconic Knight
250
250/1(-658%)
(3) Iconic Knight 250/1, Four-time course winner. 50/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, trailed in last of 13 in handicap at Salisbury (7f, heavy) 34 days ago. Others more persuasive. Finished tailed off a month ago after a break and does have soft-ground form.
10th
4
10th (4) (150/1 -2208%) Porterinthejungle
150
150/1(-2208%)
(4) Porterinthejungle 150/1, Course winner. 16/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW). Off 7 months ahead of this debut for new yard but wouldn't be without each-way hope if fully tuned-up. Has done all her winning on turf and she was close up in two of her four races in 2023.
19:30 Chepstow Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Diamondsinthesand represents last year's winning trainer, although he has yet to win on turf in 15 attempts, and BAMA LAMA is preferred. The latter has returned to a winning mark, and recent placed efforts suggest she's ready to get her head back in front. Both Lupset Flossy Pop and Port Noir finished behind the selection at Bath last time, so Sisters In The Sky may prove a bigger danger.
This looks ripe for DIAMONDSINTHESAND, who posted his best effort of the season so far when runner-up over 7f here last month and is very appealing back at 6f off the same mark. Sisters In The Sky is next on the list ahead of Bama Lama.
This looks open but there could be a big run in THE COLA KID who was tilting at windmills last time.
(4) Bhubezi 9/2, Course winner. Twenty-one runs since last win in 2021. 13/2, creditable second of 11 in handicap at Brighton (8f, good to soft) 18 days ago, finishing well. Expected to be bang there. Losing run up to 21, but beaten just a neck at Brighton last time; major player.
2
7
2nd (7) (10/1 -233%) Letter Of The Law
10
10/1(-233%)
(7) Letter Of The Law 10/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. 9/1, bit below form fourth of 13 in handicap at this course (7.1f, heavy) 25 days ago. Blinkers back on and he's not discounted, Return to this trip should suit, but his record of 2-40 urges caution.
3
8
3rd (8) (9/1 +0%) Kenstone
9
9/1(+0%)
(8) Kenstone 9/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 14/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Brighton (8f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Dual C&D winner is 4lb lower than when winning this race last year; worth a second look.
4
5
4th (5) (17/2 -42%) Fact Or Fable
8.5
17/2(-42%)
(5) Fact Or Fable 17/2, Course winner. Below form sixth of 13 in handicap (11/1) at this course (7.1f, heavy) 25 days ago. Would have a live each-way chance if on-song. Three wins over 7f here last year, but has won over 1m elsewhere; loves fast ground.
5th
6
5th (6) (200/1 -1329%) Alyara
200
200/1(-1329%)
(6) Alyara 200/1, 22/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Salisbury (7f, heavy) 34 days ago and she looks set for another struggle. Engaged 9.00 Bath Friday. Likely conditions here should suit but her moderate strike-rate is offputting.
6th
2
6th (2) (200/1 -700%) Emorcee
200
200/1(-700%)
(2) Emorcee 200/1, 18/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Bath (11.6f, good) 24 days ago. Significantly back down in trip and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. Little in four starts for this yard since returning in January and is now 0-15.
7th
1
7th (1) (18/1 -414%) Eye Of The Water
18
18/1(-414%)
(1) Eye Of The Water 18/1, 7/1, bit below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Bath (8f, good) 15 days ago. Runner-up off this mark at Bath 3 starts back and reproduction of that effort would give him every chance. 5lb below his last winning mark, but could do with rain.
8th
3
8th (3) (300/1 -809%) Ishani
300
300/1(-809%)
(3) Ishani 300/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 10 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 66/1) 79 days ago. Needs to bounce back in a major way. Showed some ability last summer, but last couple of efforts leave plenty to be desired.
9th

9th (9) (100/1 -52%) Motasaleeta
100
100/1(-52%)
(9) Motasaleeta 100/1, Last of 9 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 100/1) 40 days ago and she is hard to fancy. Placed in three times between May and July last year, but has gone badly the wrong way.
20:00 Chepstow Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
It's been a long time since BHUBEZI last won, but last month's neck defeat at Brighton suggests his turn is not far away. Patrick Chamings' charge finished well ahead of Kenstone at Brighton, and the latter won this contest last year off a 4lb higher mark, while Letter Of The Law has also slipped down the handicap and may prove best of the remainder.
BHUBEZI put in good late work when going close at Brighton recently and, on that evidence, his turn is near. The 6-y-o is taken to confirm that impression by striking here, perhaps at the chief expense of Eye of The Water. Letter of The Law is also shortlisted.
The selection is FACT OR FABLE who has dropped 3lb lower than for the last of three wins over 7f here last year (has won over 1m).
(8) Kalama Sunrise 11/1, Eighth of 9 in handicap at Leicester (7f, soft, 7/2) 11 days ago. Now tried in cheekpieces and could have a part to play if the headgear has the desired effect. Excuses last time; has placed form and unexposed at 1m; cheekpieces added.
2
6
2nd (6) (17/2 -21%) Dappled Light
8.5
17/2(-21%)
(6) Dappled Light 17/2, Tenth of 12 in handicap at Bath (8f, heavy, 9/2) 33 days ago, missing break. Needs to get back on track. Irish winner; two fair runs on the AW before an excusable failure on soft at Bath.
3
4
3rd (4) (12/1 -140%) Romanovich
12
12/1(-140%)
(4) Romanovich 12/1, Course winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. Twelfth of 13 in handicap at this course (7.1f, heavy, 9/2) 25 days ago. Can make presence felt if able to bounce back. A course winner with the form to feature if getting himself back on track.

(1) Thewaytothestars 15/2, 15/2, eighth of 13 in handicap at this course (7.1f, heavy) 25 days ago. Readily passed over. Dual winner last year but not crying to be backed after her recent struggles.

50/1(-3900%)
(3) Duchess 50/1, 1 win from 1 run this year. Won 11-runner handicap at Yarmouth (8f, soft, 14/1) 17 days ago, suited by way race developed. Expected to be bang there. Headed to Yarmouth 17 days ago as an 18-race maiden but she put that right with a 3l win.

(7) Doonbeg Farmer 300/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Ninth of 13 in handicap (14/1) at this course (7.1f, heavy) 25 days ago. Others more persuasive. Dual AW winner who made it 0-14 on the grass when only ninth here last month.

125/1(-525%)
(2) Run Cmc 125/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 33/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Bath (8f, good) 15 days ago. Opposable. 5f winner (good) who has gone close over 7f but weakened over 1m last time.

450
450/1(-5900%)
(5) Mayz 450/1, 16/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Brighton (8f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Placed on a couple of occasions prior to that and she's not without each-way hope. 3lb above her winning mark; two recent thirds bode well; fast ground a slight concern.

400/1(-700%)
(9) Child Of Lir 400/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 66/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 46 days ago. Hard to warm to. Picked up for just £2,000 from Rebecca Menzies and pretty much tailed off since.
20:30 Chepstow Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
DUCHESS accounted for her nearest rivals by three lengths on her return to action at Yarmouth last month and Gina Mangan's claim negates half of her 6lb rise for that triumph. John Berry's mare looks to have lots in her favour and could go in again. The main danger might be Thewaytothestars, who only managed eighth over 7f here last time but has to be considered back up in trip. Of the remainder, Mayz makes the most appeal.
The one with by far the most appealing claims is DUCHESS, who produced her best effort on this side of the Channel when scoring in good style at Yarmouth and a 6 lb rise is unlikely to be enough to prevent her from going in again. Romanovich and Kalama Sunrise can fill the places, in that order of preference.
Preference is for KALAMA SUNRISE who has placed form and probably resented the heavy ground last time when prominent in the betting
(1) Marmalade Lady 5/6, Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1, third of 10 on handicap debut/reappearance at Lingfield (1½m, AW) 23 days ago. Makes turf debut. Leading claims. Close third when stepped up to 1m4f on handicap debut (AW); should be fine on the grass.

2nd (4) (5/2 +17%) Top Flight Century
2.5
5/2(+17%)
(4) Top Flight Century 5/2, Looked a potential improver in handicaps but well held on his first attempt at Carlisle (9f) only 9 days ago. Too soon to write off now taking a significant step up in trip. Poor so far but unraced on fast ground and he's related to a Group 1 winner.

3rd (5) (18/1 -80%) Exceptionality

18/1(-80%)
(5) Exceptionality 18/1, Poor form. Never involved when eighth of 12 in handicap at Bath (1¼m, good, 80/1) on turf debut 24 days ago. Uncompetitive in all five races, including handicaps at 8.6f and 1m2f.

10/1(-67%)
(3) Tomorrow Day 10/1, 28/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at Bath (1m, heavy) 33 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Cheekpieces on first time. Best run was at 7f and he's unraced beyond a mile; unconvincing tried in cheekpieces.

125/1(-942%)
(2) White Coco 125/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 10 in handicap (10/1) at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) on reappearance 14 days ago. Needs to leave that well behind. Hard to make a case for unless she finds something out of the blue.

150/1(-650%)
(6) Escape The Grape 150/1, Poor form. 125/1, last of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (9f, good) 16 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Has no form claims after seven starts, four of those handicaps (1m-1m4f); very opposable.
21:00 Chepstow Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
MARMALADE LADY put her first three underwhelming efforts in novice company last year behind her when hitting the frame over 1m4f on her handicap debut at Lingfield last month. Hughie Morrison's filly remains on the same mark and she looks the one to beat. Tomorrow Day finished fifth over a mile at Bath last time and he takes a big step up in trip in first-time cheekpieces, so he is one to watch out for, while Exceptionality is another to note.
In a contest where compelling claims are decidedly thin on the ground, MARMALADE LADY rather stands out on the back of a solid opening effort in handicap company on AW last month. Although Top Flight Century was well beaten on his recent handicap debut it's too soon to write off Sir Mark Prescott's charge and he might fare a lot better now going up in trip.
Hughie Morrison's MARMALADE LADY is the only runner arriving here on the back of a positive performance.

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.

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.
