14:10 Chepstow (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Over Spiced may try to make all over the minimum trip, but this is her 10th run of the year and top-weight may find her out. Reporter won by a neck at Windsor last month and an added 4lb from the handicapper may not stop him getting involved at the finish, but HINT OF THE JUNGLE is preferred. Fourth at Yarmouth when last seen in April, he races off 1lb lower now, before Alfie Redman's 7lb claim from the saddle, and could get the better of his younger rivals.

Reporter may have more to offer over 5f but OVER SPICED, a C&D winner in May, could be the answer back down in trip.

1	4 1st (4) (4/1 -146%) Bear To Dream	4 4/1(-146%)	(4) Bear To Dream 4/1, Ran to form when beaten by a length off the mark of 52 at Brighton last time; 5lb's higher than last winning mark; runs off the same mark here as when coming second last time; the one to beat if transferring his form from Brighton to here Has been in good form at Brighton and her latest second was off this mark; key player.
2	3 2nd (3) (11/10 +67%) Guiteau	1.1 11/10(+67%)	(3) Guiteau 11/10, Below par when beaten by 7 lengths in a handicap over 9 furlongs at Wolverhampton last time out; 8lb's lower than last winning mark; comes into this off a 178 day break; might be up against it here On reduced mark but he needs a major revival on return for new yard.
3	5 3rd (5) (10/3 +44%) Too Much Trevor	3.333333 10/3(+44%)	(5) Too Much Trevor 10/3, Yet to win in nineteen starts; below par when beaten by 8 lengths in a handicap over 8 furlongs here last time; down in trip here; down 2lb's from last run; could squeak a place here 0-19 but was third over C&D on penultimate run and has claims on that form.
4	1 4th (1) (10/1 -54%) Kurimu	10 10/1(-54%)	(1) Kurimu 10/1, Below par when beaten by 6 and a 1/2 lengths in a handicap over 6 furlongs at Redcar last time out; comes into this off a short-break; sliding down the handicap therefore could go well here off her new mark On dangerous mark and she had an excuse at Redcar latest; not ruled out back up in trip.
5th	2 5th (2) (8/1 +11%) Sorontar	8 8/1(+11%)	(2) Sorontar 8/1, Yet to win in nine career starts; down the field in a handicap over 6 furlongs at Windsor most recently; usually consistent before that; significant jockey booking here; needs to bounce back to form here Best form has been at around 1m but is well handicapped if he can get back near best.

14:40 Chepstow (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Older horses have held sway in the seven runnings of this race so far, with just the one four-year-old winning, and that trend may continue if BEAR TO DREAM runs to her best. A winner at Brighton in May, she was only beaten a length at the same track last time and races off the same mark here. Sorontar ran too bad to be true on his first start of the year at Windsor and may be worth another chance for an in-form stable, leaving Guiteau for third on his first start for Faye Bromley.

Top of the list is BEAR TO DREAM who won a classified at Brighton last month and was a good second in a handicap there two weeks ago.

2	1 2nd (1) (9/1 +10%) Aphrodite Spirit	9 9/1(+10%)	(1) Aphrodite Spirit 9/1, Slowly away when coming third and beaten by 5 lengths in a novice at Goodwood on racecourse debut; looks the sort to have learnt plenty from that experience; might have to settle for a place here Promising third on Goodwood debut last month and she should know much more this time.
3	11 3rd (11) (11/1 -144%) Song N Dance	11 11/1(-144%)	(11) Song N Dance 11/1, Did not get a clear run when coming a 2 and a 1/4 length fourth in a novice over 7 furlongs at Wolverhampton first-time out; having her first run as a 3yo; could build on that 2yo effort and run well here Showed promise on AW in December and she's open to progress upped in trip on her return.
4	7 4th (7) (4/7 +67%) Polygram	0.571429 4/7(+67%)	(7) Polygram 4/7, Yet to win in four races; going probably a bit on the fast side when coming a 4 and a 1/2 length third in a novice at Lingfield on most recent run; beaten favourite the last twice; however this looks a good opportunity for her to finally get off the mark here Placed on AW and turf in last two runs and has leading claims back in calmer waters.
5th	4 5th (4) (50/1 +0%) Lady Margret	50 50/1(+0%)	(4) Lady Margret 50/1, 15,000gns Waldgeist filly; half-sister to moderate 6 furlong horse Runamara; dam half-sister to Listed winner Santa Sophia; might need even further than this in time; probably best watched on debut here Has fair standard to aim at on debut and she could be one for longer trips later on.

7th	2 7th (2) (150/1 -50%) Blazing Bobcat	150 150/1(-50%)	(2) Blazing Bobcat 150/1, Twice raced maiden; eighth of nine on debut at Chepstow; since came last of nine at Goodwood on second start; yet to show any real signs of ability; all to do in a contest of this nature Tailed off at big prices in two novice events this season; can only be watched.
8th	8 8th (8) (50/1 -127%) Praise Indeed	50 50/1(-127%)	(8) Praise Indeed 50/1, Twice raced maiden; had benefited for debut experience when beaten by 6 and a 1/4 lengths in a novice at Lingfield last time out; came last of eleven runners at Kempton on debut; plenty more needed here Well held in both runs this season and minor handicaps will be more like it.
9th	3 9th (3) (200/1 -100%) Grey Selkie	200 200/1(-100%)	(3) Grey Selkie 200/1, Slowly away when a well beaten when coming 12 and 3/4 length ninth of fourteen runners in a maiden at Windsor on only start; sent off 250/1 that day; hard to recommend here 250-1 and was towards rear throughout on Windsor debut (1m, good to firm) last month.
10th	5 10th (5) (50/1 0%) Lynda's Dream	50 50/1(0%)	(5) Lynda's Dream 50/1, Oasis Dream filly; half-sister to moderate 6f/7f horse Dashing Willie; closely related to multiple French winners (Listed and Group 2 races) trainer in form at present; another one who might need further in time however This looks a tough starting point and she's probably best watched.

15:10 Chepstow (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Seren Star failed to build on her debut third with a 12-length fourth at Newbury, but she may be worth another chance dropped in class. Aphrodite Spirit ran well in third on her only start at Goodwood and she may go close, but SONG N DANCE is preferred. Fourth at Wolverhampton in December despite a slow start and a blocked run, if she learns from that then the Sean Woods-trained Bated Breath filly could get off the mark under Ben Sanderson.

The two standout contenders are Seren Star and POLYGRAM, with slight preference for the latter.

15:45 Chepstow (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

RORY ROCKET has done little wrong in all three runner-up outings to date and he could be worth chancing on his handicap bow. An official mark of 70 looks workable given his latest second behind a now-rated 77 rival at Lingfield and a first career victory may be in the offing. Connie's Rose should appreciate a return to the distance that saw her finish a close-up second here in mid-June and she's feared most, ahead of Saffredi.

A trappy event in which all six have claims. PAPABELLA can bounce back from an AW flop and is marginally preferred to Saffredi.

16:20 Chepstow (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

HIBERNATE arrives on the back of his best effort to date when finishing a close-up second at Nottingham. A 1lb nudge from the assessor could prove to be lenient for Ed Dunlop's gelding and he looks ready to open his account. Makes Me Wonder also filled the runner-up spot on his latest outing over 1m at Windsor, although he may need to settle better in order to see out today's extra quarter-mile distance. With that in mind, a bigger danger may emerge from fellow in-form rival Electric Bass.

Preference is for HIBERNATE, who made a bold bid at Nottingham 12 days ago and is only 1lb higher than for that near-miss.

16:50 Chepstow (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Forest Hills posted creditable efforts in defeat at Salisbury and Ffos Las last month and another good account is forecast. However, reverting to 1m2f may leave Rod Millman's inmate lacking for pace and SPIRIT OF THE BAY rates a more solid proposition. The Cable Bay mare found only a progressive three-year-old too strong at Redcar in May and this contest looks ripe for the taking. Windsor scorer Cotswold Cottage could also make her presence felt.

An open race in which SPIRIT OF THE BAY (nap) gets the vote ahead of Cotswold Cottage and Forest Hills.

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.
