1st (8) Louis Treize (33/1 -136%)
Louis Treize

33/1(-136%)
(8) Louis Treize 33/1, Unreliable type. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 10/1, below form fifth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f), very slowly away. Off 6 months.
Close second on stable debut in November but off since lesser effort a fortnight later.

2nd (5) Jacquelina (2.75/1 +21%)
Jacquelina

2.75/1(+21%)
(5) Jacquelina 2.75/1, Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (11/2) at this C&D (good to firm) 8 days ago by length from Rhubarb, always holding on. On the upgrade recently and isn't yet exposed.
Made all to open account over C&D last week and warrants serious consideration.

3rd (4) Rhubarb (2.5/1 +29%)
Rhubarb

2.5/1(+29%)
(4) Rhubarb 2.5/1, Three-time C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Good length second of 9 to Jacquelina in handicap (13/8) at this C&D (good to firm) 8 days ago. Likely to give it another good shot at this venue.
Won here four times in 2022 and has finished second twice in recent weeks; major player.

Fossos

16/1(-45%)
(6) Fossos 16/1, Three-time C&D winner. Twelfth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 7/1) 25 days ago, lost all chance at start. Tendency to blow it at the stalls means he's a risky proposition.
Triple C&D winner in 2022 but yet to get going this year; others have less to prove.
5th
5th (1) Astrophysics (16/1 -33%)
Astrophysics

16/1(-33%)
(1) Astrophysics 16/1, C&D winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in February. 18/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, heavy) 56 days ago. Bounce back called for.
11yo; won this in 2022 but looks a shade vulnerable off current mark on turf.
6th
6th (2) Shesadabber (2.75/1 +61%)
Shesadabber

2.75/1(+61%)
(2) Shesadabber 2.75/1, C&D winner. Respectable fifth of 13 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good to firm, 13/2) 24 days ago. Runner-up from 1 lb higher prior to that so she's weighted to strike.
Dual C&D winner in 2022; in good form lately but would probably prefer slower ground.
7th
7th (3) Desert (5/1 -25%)
Desert

5/1(-25%)
(3) Desert 5/1, Third of 8 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 22/1) 8 days ago. Would have finished closer too with a clear passage so she's of interest dropped in grade.
Proved she retains ability when running on well for third over C&D last week.
LTO Selection:

17:50 Chepstow Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

DESERT continues to ease in the ratings and the four-year-old gets the tentative nod off 11lb lower than her sole victory. Despite finding plenty of trouble in running, the daughter of Havana Gold gave a good account to finish third over course and distance last time out and may make amends in this contest. Rhubarb has been knocking on the door of late and demands the utmost respect, while Jacquelina is another to consider.

DESERT produced her most promising effort for Malcolm Saunders over C&D a week ago, and with this an easier band of handicap, she could well be the answer. Jacquelina and Rhubarb occupied the first 2 positions in a similar race to this recently and head the opposition.

Jacquelina was a nuisance to RHUBARB in the closing stages when winning over C&D last week. The latter can gain revenge today.

(5) Crooked Crown 2.5/1, Cable Bay filly who left her debut form well behind when second of 11 in maiden at Haydock (6f, good) 15 days ago. Leading form claims.
Bettered low-key debut when second of 11 at Haydock two weeks ago; good chace.

(6) Dibbsy's Dream 4.5/1, 6/1, seventh of 11 in maiden at Haydock (6f, good) on debut 15 days ago. Should progress so this Soldier's Call filly can't be ruled out.
Made low-key debut when seventh at Haydock but ought to have learned from that experience.

4th (1) Imperiality (3/1 +25%)
Imperiality

3/1(+25%)
(1) Imperiality 3/1, Did best of the newcomers when third of 10 in minor event (6/1) at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) on debut 7 days ago. This Exceed And Excel filly seems sure to improve. Considered.
Promising 3rd at Lingfield a week ago; no surprise if she makes the necessary improvement.

Aquifolia

(4) Aquifolia 80/1, 28/1, sixth of 9 in maiden at this C&D (good to firm) on debut 25 days ago. A big step forward is required.
Made just a mildly encouraging debut over C&D last month; one for further down the line.

Moe's Legacy

18/1(+73%)
(7) Moe's Legacy 18/1, Foaled January 21. £2,500 2-y-o, Havana Grey filly. Dam, winner up to 5.7f, is a half-sister to useful winner up to 7f Corporal Maddox. Wears hood. No forlorn hope.
First foal from stable's prolific sprinter Powerful Dream; yard not known for 2yo winners.
LTO Selection:

18:20 Chepstow Maiden (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

SPARKLIGHT has shown plenty of promise when runner-up on her two racecourse appearances to date and the Eve Johnson Houghton-trained filly can get off the mark at the third of asking. However, there are plenty of dangers, including Crooked Crown, who took a big step forward when second at Haydock last month. Despite showing signs of inexperience, Imperiality hit the line with plenty of conviction at Lingfield on debut and the daughter of Exceed And Excel completes the shortlist.

A few with chances but Rod Millman's Cable Bay filly CROOKED CROWN holds the edge on the form of her recent Haydock second and is taken to go one better. Imperiality seems sure to build on her debut Lingfield third and is next on the list ahead of newcomer Make It Easy and Kempton runner-up Sparklight.

Preference is for CROOKED CROWN, who was in the firing line throughout when second over 6f at Haydock two weeks ago.

5.5/1(+0%)
(4) Destiny's Spirit 5.5/1, C&D winner. 9/2, fifth of 8 in handicap at Windsor (6f, heavy) 33 days ago. Can give a good account.
Won three times as a 2yo but her last run was disappointing and she may need slower ground.

Jax Edge

1.88/1(+46%)
(6) Jax Edge 1.88/1, Course winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Bath in May. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap (4/1) at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Expected to be bang there.
In-form filly who may yet have a bigger run in her; may find 5f on fast ground a bit sharp.

Class Member

2.2/1(+2%)
(2) Class Member 2.2/1, Creditable third of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, good to firm, 12/1) 11 days ago.

Fragrance

14/1(+36%)
(5) Fragrance 14/1, 66/1, first run since leaving Charlie & Mark Johnston when sixth of 10 in handicap at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) 14 days ago.
Showed some good early speed on seasonal/stable debut; that run might have brought her on.

4th (3) Doctor Mozart (6/1 -71%)
Doctor Mozart

(3) Doctor Mozart 6/1, 3 wins from 10 runs this year. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 15/2) 9 days ago, rallying. Thriving.
Battled gamely for recent AW win but today's return to turf is not ideal.
5th

(1) Pierce 3.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1 and blinkered for 1st time, ninth of 13 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good) 23 days ago.
Still has low mileage but was unable to land a telling blow at Newmarket last month.
LTO Selection:

18:55 Chepstow Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

DOCTOR MOZART arrives here in a rich vein of form, landing the spoils on three of his last four outings, and the son of Dandy Man can defy a 3lb rise and add another victory to his record. Class Member was by no means disgraced when third at Lingfield last month and could be well handicapped off a mark of 67, while C&D winner Destiny's Spirit is another to consider.

DOCTOR MOZART is thriving currently and can add another win to his tally. Jax Edge backed up his win at Bath with a solid fourth at Salisbury so is feared most.

Dropped 2lb since a creditable third at Lingfield 11 days ago, CLASS MEMBER (nap) can now open her account.

LTO Selection:

19:30 Chepstow Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

REDREDROBIN has been in outstanding form of late and returning to a track where she has won twice is a major plus as she looks to land the hat-trick. Malcolm Saunders' charge should have too much for Connie's Rose, who has finished in the first two on her last two starts at this venue, as well as the in-form Port Noir. Savalas would be a player as well if turning up here after he finished fifth at Bath on Friday.

CONNIE'S ROSE arrives in good order and handles the track well, so she's fancied to resume winning ways at the likely expense of Redredrobin, who has had a similarly positive start to the current campaign. Savalas may also feature if the pace is strong.

The mare PORT NOIR gets the nod. She wouldn't have beaten the well-in winner at Leicester four days ago but could have finished closer.

Flatley

Only 1lb higher than for AW win in September but has fitness to prove.
8th
8th (9) Iconic Knight (25/1 -233%)
Iconic Knight

25/1(-233%)
(9) Iconic Knight 25/1, 3-time C&D winner who posted a good second of 6 in handicap at this C&D when last seen out 9 months ago. Well in the mix if fully tuned up for his seasonal return.
In very good form over C&D when last seen, but that was last summer.
LTO Selection:

20:00 Chepstow Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

SIR WINSTON produced a taking win at Brighton and there should be much more to come from the four-year-old as he looks to overcome a 5lb rise for that success. His chief threat looks to be Iconic Knight, who has not been outside the first two in his last four starts over C&D, while Winforglory is another who is capable of having a say in proceedings.

Brighton-scorer SIR WINSTON arrives on an upward curve so looks the way to go despite having a career-high mark to overcome. There are plenty of dangers though to Roger Varian's 4-y-o with handily-weighted Liangel Hope and C&D winner Macs Dilemma appealing as the main threats in that order.

The pick is MACS DILEMMA, who has a very good record at this track and moves back up to his optimum trip after a good second over 6f.

Posed no threat over 6f on stable debut and has stamina to prove here.
LTO Selection:

20:30 Chepstow Stakes (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

FACT OR FABLE was an unlucky loser at Bath last time out when a length third despite missing the start, and then running into traffic close home over an extended 5f. With all four of his wins coming over seven furlongs or further, the step back up in trip looks ideal and a big run is can be anticipated. Dame Laura Knight tries cheekpieces on her turf debut and, if she finds improvement for the change of surface, she could surprise a few. Ballet Blanc is potentially well handicapped if connections can get her to repeat her best all-weather form on the grass.

FACT OR FABLE arrives in good order and should be suited by the return to this trip, so he makes most appeal in a race where the majority have something to prove. Dame Laura Knight is still relatively unexposed and could do better for cheekpieces, so she's regarded as the main danger ahead of Deacs Delight.

This looks good for FACT OR FABLE, who scores good marks for his consistency this year and won over today's trip on fast ground in May.

Lusaka

1.2/1(+31%)
(2) Lusaka 1.2/1, 25/1, fifth of 18 in handicap at Newbury (12f, good) 22 days ago, very slowly away and racing away from the main action. Cheekpieces back on and worth chancing in a weak affair.
Ran okay when back on decent ground at Newbury last month; this race is easier.

Geelong

1.62/1(+35%)
(3) Geelong 1.62/1, 25/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (13f, AW) 28 days ago. Hasn't been firing this term, but mark is slipping.
Generally disappointing since winning 2yo debut but now too well handicapped to ignore.

Prince Ali

6/1(+8%)
(5) Prince Ali 6/1, Twelfth of 14 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, soft, 14/1) 40 days ago. More reliable on the AW, so others are more appealing.
Without a win since 2021 and has become very inconsistent; others preferred.

40/1(-43%)
(7) Proud Warrior 40/1, 40/1, last of 10 in handicap at Salisbury (14.2f, good to soft) 37 days ago. Hard to make a solid case for.
Beaten out of sight off basement mark last month and has now been unplaced all ten starts.

Goodison Girl

(6) Goodison Girl 11/1, 16/1, sixth of 11 in handicap at Ffos Las (14f, soft). Off 8 months. Will probably strip fitter for the run.
Nine-race maiden who suffered some heavy defeats off lowly marks last summer/autumn.

21:00 Chepstow Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Though still a maiden after 17 starts under both codes, LUSAKA wasn't disgraced in a class 5 event at Newbury last month. Eased 2lb in the handicap for that effort, he is now considerably well treated on his earlier Irish form and, dropped into a class 6 for the first time, he could get off the mark. Fellow class-dropper Geelong merits respect, while Prince Ali appeals most of the remainder.

LUSAKA was much better than the bare result when fifth of 18 at Newbury last time and this is significantly less competitive, so he gets the nod over Geelong, with Iron Heart another one to consider if the market speaks in his favour.

This uncompetitive finale might go to LUSAKA, who took a big step back in the right direction when fifth at Newbury three weeks ago.

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.
