1	8 1st (8) (6/1 +14%) Dodger Long		6 6/1(+14%)																															(8) Dodger Long 6/1, Fair in bumpers and improved model switched to hurdling, confirming promise of his runners-up efforts when doubling his tally in a Warwick novice (2m) 18 days ago. This looks a tough enough introduction to handicaps but his consistency has been hard to knock to date. Won Warwick novice last month but not obviously well treated for first handicap.
2	4 2nd (4) (14/1 -17%) Balboa		14 14/1(-17%)																															(4) Balboa 14/1, Fair maiden on Flat who got off the mark over hurdles at the third attempt in C&D juvenile at this meeting 12 months ago. Exploits mixed thereafter but signed off with a career best second of 13 in handicap at Ayr (2m) for this yard in April. This looks more demanding, however. Won over C&D a year ago and ran some good races in defeat afterwards; in the mix again.
3	1 3rd (1) (9/2 -80%) Liari		4.5 9/2(-80%)																															(1) Liari 9/2, Fairly useful on Flat in France and similar form when winning all 3 starts in juvenile hurdles for this yard, latterly at Musselburgh (15.5f) in February from Roaring Legend. Held back by jumping in Fred Winter at Cheltenham in March but no surprise to see him back on the up on return. Won first three races (twice in Listed grade); absent since mishap at Cheltenham in March.
4	6 4th (6) (14/1 -56%) Yellow Star		14 14/1(-56%)																															(6) Yellow Star 14/1, Fairly useful form at best on the Flat and similar form in this sphere, successful in a Lingfield novice (2m) in February. Below best next 2 starts but sharper for application of blinkers when fourth of 20 in handicap at Sandown (2m) in April. Respected on return to action. Close fourth of 20 in hot novices' handicap at Sandown on final day of last season.
5th	5 5th (5) (16/5 +29%) Roaring Legend		3.2 16/5(+29%)																															(5) Roaring Legend 16/5, Confirmed previous promise on back of a wind when taking C&D maiden in the spring. Not himself at Aintree a month later but left that in his wake after 4 months off when impressively seeing off 4-rivals at Stratford (16.3f) 5 weeks ago. Lots to like back in a handicap. C&D winner in April and also looked in good nick when darting clear at Stratford last time.
6th	3 6th (3) (25/1 -108%) Latin Verse		25 25/1(-108%)																															(3) Latin Verse 25/1, Fairly useful, dual winner over hurdles who ran well when runner-up on final start for Syd Hosie at Musselburgh (17.4f, heavy) in April. Likely in need of run back from 6 months off/re-united with this yard at Kempton (11f) 3 weeks ago. Cheekpieces go back on. Well held on the Flat last month but ended last jumps season with good second in April.
7th	11 7th (11) (16/1 +36%) Through The Ages		16 16/1(+36%)																															(11) Through The Ages 16/1, Fair form when landing small-field juvenile hurdles at Huntingdon/Newbury around the turn of the year. Well beaten at Sandown next time but better display when fourth in handicap at Fontwell (19.2f) in April. However, yard may hold stronger claims with Yellow Star. Won two juvenile hurdles last winter but subsequent handicap form was underwhelming.
9	9 |F| (9) (16/1 +20%) Majestic Jameela		16 16/1(+20%)																															(9) Majestic Jameela 16/1, Kept busy and steadily improved over hurdles last season, gaining a third career success impressively at Uttoxeter (20f) in April. Placed both starts thereafter, latterly when third at Aintree (20f) in May but this drop in trip may not suit ideally given how she's been shaping. Three-time hurdle winner last season; may prefer 2m4f; others are less exposed.
10	10 |U| (10) (4/1 +47%) Letterston Lily		4 4/1(+47%)																															(10) Letterston Lily 4/1, Bumper winner at the third attempt and made it 2-3 in novice hurdles at Worcester (20f) in August. Cemented her positive start when creditable third on handicap debut back at that venue 15 days ago. This a tougher ask but she may not of reached her limit. Placed in valuable 2m4f series final on recent handicap debut; can make presence felt.
2	2 |PU| (2) (12/1 -20%) Mighty Bandit		12 12/1(-20%)																															(2) Mighty Bandit 12/1, Fairly useful hurdles winner for Gordon Elliott last term (changed hands for €420,000) and reached a similar level on Flat for this yard, second of 9 in handicap at Windsor (11.5f) 26 days ago. Not dismissed making his handicap debut in this sphere. Both hurdle runs for this stable were disappointing but he's been in good form on the Flat.
7	7 |PU| (7) (14/1 -100%) Kourosh		14 14/1(-100%)																															(7) Kourosh 14/1, Fair winner on the Flat in Germany who bolted up on his Wetherby hurdle debut last November. No real progress thereafter, pulled on in handicap at Kempton (2m) when last seen in April. Undergone wind surgery ahead of return though, and market confidence behind him would look significant. Had mixed record last season but can feature her if summer wind op proves successful.

14:10 Chepstow Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Yellow Star is interesting after his solid fourth at Sandown in first-time blinkers when last seen in April and he could get into the mix if ready to roll. Roaring Legend has a fitness advantage over some following his win at Stratford last month and he may prove the biggest danger to top-weight LIARI. The winner of his first three starts over hurdles before pulling up at the Cheltenham Festival, he is well regarded at the Nicholls yard and appears set for another good season.

ROARING LEGEND has presumably had this as his target following an impressive reappearance success in novice company at Stratford 5 weeks ago and, with further progress in the offing, he can put that fitness edge to good use. Liari who was 3-4 over hurdles last season is another highly respected for Paul Nicholls. Yellow Star and Mighty Bandit complete the shortlist.

Nudged up only 1lb for her creditable third in a competitive series final at Worcester a fortnight ago, LETTERSTON LILY is selected.

1	6 1st (6) (10/3 +5%) Springwell Bay		3.333333 10/3(+5%)																															(6) Springwell Bay 10/3, Just about the best of these over hurdles, his best effort coming when just edged out off a mark of 143 at Musselburgh in February. Should make a chaser so must be respected. Highest rated of these over hurdles and makes chase debut with yard having winners.
2	3 2nd (3) (9/2 -177%) Insurrection		4.5 9/2(-177%)																															(3) Insurrection 9/2, Useful form over hurdles last season, signing off with a win in 13-runner novice hurdle (4/7) at Hereford (16.2f, good) in April. Tall gelding who will make a chaser (successful on second of 2 starts in Irish points). Useful hurdler in just his five appearances; chasing is highly likely to bring him on.
3	1 3rd (1) (7/1 -56%) Boombawn		7 7/1(-56%)																															(1) Boombawn 7/1, Useful hurdler who made the perfect start over fences when scoring at Warwick in May. Decent efforts in defeat at Cartmel and Worcester but disappointed in the Summer Plate at Market Rasen. Given a break since and expected to bounce back for yard that won this last year. Has experience and winning form over fences; others perhaps have greater potential.
4	4 4th (4) (16/1 +36%) Mombasa		16 16/1(+36%)																															(4) Mombasa 16/1, Useful 17f dual-hurdles winner in France in 2022 who later changed hands for €250,000 in July that year. Below that level in 3 starts for Phillip Hobbs but proved he retains ability when fourth in listed hurdle at Compiegne on yard debut/comeback a year ago. Not seen since, however. Chase debut. Listed hurdle winner in France; tough task on chase debut but he's unexposed.
2	2 |PU| (2) (1/1 +71%) Cuthbert Dibble		1 1/1(+71%)																															(2) Cuthbert Dibble 1/1, Progressive over hurdles last term, winning twice (including here) prior to finishing a fine third in the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham. Disappointed at Aintree final start but that run can easily be overlooked and he looks a smart prospect for novice chasing (has size to make a chaser) this term. 4-9 over hurdles and fine from 2m3f to 3m; very much built for chasing.

14:45 Chepstow Maiden Chase (Class 1) 19f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Cuthbert Dibble is a decent hurdler with four wins to his name in that sphere and if taking to fences at the first attempt, he will be a danger to all for the Twiston-Davies team. French raider Mombasa was only beaten five lengths in Listed hurdle at Compiegne last October and has to be respected. INSURRECTION gets the narrowest of votes, though, with fences expected to bring improvement from the seven-year-old.

A novice won by the likes of Cue Card and Fingal Bay. BOOMBAWN, whose stable won this last year with subsequent Grand Annual winner Unexpected Party, has already shown a useful level of form over fences and that experience should count for plenty up against chase debutants. Cuthbert Dibble appeals as a smart chasing prospect so rates the main threat.

A good race, as is always the case. INSURRECTION was a useful hurdler but could be appreciably better over fences.

1	14 1st (14) (11/1 +45%) Josh The Boss		11 11/1(+45%)																															(14) Josh The Boss 11/1, Bumper winner who won first 2 starts over hurdles last season but form tailed off thereafter. Probably worth taking on here following a 6-month break. Below form in second half of last season but looked a promising novice last autumn.
2	16 2nd (16) (4/1 +47%) Doyen Quest		4 4/1(+47%)																															(16) Doyen Quest 4/1, Bumper winner who was progressive over hurdles last season, winner of a Cheltenham handicap (20.2f, good) on his latest appearance in April. 3 lb nudge fair enough and he could make his presence felt if ready to foll following a break. Finished strongly to win at Cheltenham in April and is only 3lb higher here; major player.
3	3 3rd (3) (33/1 -136%) Take No Chances		33 33/1(-136%)																															(3) Take No Chances 33/1, Winner of back-to-back handicaps at Warwick and Uttoxeter during the spring. Didn't do much wrong when fourth at Cartmel (25.4f, good to soft) on latest start in May and while Doyen Quest is seemingly the stable No 1, this 6-y-o is by no means exposed. In good form at around 3m in the spring and has promising 7lb claimer enlisted here.
4	5 4th (5) (8/1 +11%) Lowry's Bar		8 8/1(+11%)																															(5) Lowry's Bar 8/1, Winner of first 4 starts over hurdles last term, including a C&D handicap in January. Lost unbeaten record when turned over in an Exeter novice next time but he remains with potential and his profile isn't dissimilar to that of Orbys Legend, who landed this race for the same yard in 2021. Launched rules career with four wins last season (once over C&D); can resume progress.
5th	17 5th (17) (14/1 +0%) Patriotik		14 14/1(+0%)																															(17) Patriotik 14/1, Point winner who opened Rules account in a 2½m Ffos Las novice in March and placed on each of his 3 subsequent starts (all at the same course). Open to improvement now pitched into a handicap and he's worth a second look. Ffos Las novice winner; makes handicap debut in warm race but is not fully exposed.
6th	8 6th (8) (25/1 -56%) Tightenourbelts		25 25/1(-56%)																															(8) Tightenourbelts 25/1, Ludlow maiden hurdle winner on final start of 2022/23 campaign and made successful start over fences at the same course last November. Returned to this sphere with a creditable third to Take No Chances at Uttoxeter (23.3f, good to soft) when last seen in May but he may again find one or 2 too good. Just a respectable third behind Take No Chance at Uttoxeter in May; back from break today.
7th	13 7th (13) (9/1 +36%) Titan Discovery		9 9/1(+36%)																															(13) Titan Discovery 9/1, Successful twice in handicap company last season, latterly at Sandown in February. Signed off with a good sixth in a 15-runner Cheltenham (20.2f, good) contest during the spring and while this is more demanding, he's in with an each-way shout. Made good progress once switched to handicaps last season and may still have more to offer.
8th	6 8th (6) (22/1 -83%) Afadil		22 22/1(-83%)																															(6) Afadil 22/1, Displayed nice turn of foot when landing a Musselburgh handicap in February and followed that with a series of creditable efforts in good-quality handicaps. Well held when last seen at Haydock in May but he'll be a danger to all if resuming at the top of his game. Yard also runs Irish Hill. Ran well in some hot 2m handicaps in second half of last season; this trip may stretch him.
9th	7 9th (7) (7/1 +42%) Act Of Authority		7 7/1(+42%)																															(7) Act Of Authority 7/1, Successful on 3 of his half-a-dozen starts as a novice last season and signed that campaign off with a good sixth in a valuable Sandown handicap (2m, good). Not without an each-way chance but improvement will certainly be needed if he's to emerge on top. Respectable sixth in hot 2m race on handicap debut in April; back up in trip today.
10th	4 10th (4) (33/1 -136%) Lucky Zebo		33 33/1(-136%)																															(4) Lucky Zebo 33/1, Improved when accounting for 8 rivals in a Cork listed handicap in March and by no means disgraced in a valuable Punchestown handicap next time. However, he has come up short over fences the last twice and his current mark is a challenging one. Safely held in last two chases but has a fighting chance if judged on spring hurdling form.
11th	18 11th (18) (33/1 -18%) Forever William		33 33/1(-18%)																															(18) Forever William 33/1, Three-time winner for Alan King and stepped up on his low-key debut for this yard when third of 8 in a Newton Abbot handicap (21.6f, good) last month. On a workable mark but his record is rather patchy. Back in form when placed at Newton Abbot last month; more needed again here.
12th	2 12th (2) (20/1 +29%) Tritonic		20 20/1(+29%)																															(2) Tritonic 20/1, Useful hurdler and similar form on the Flat, most recently placed in a valuable York handicap in August. Good fourth in a big-field Aintree contest on latest start in this sphere (winner of one of his 2 starts over fences since) but that was back in April 2023 and others look better treated here. Placed in valuable Flat handicap in August but reverts to hurdling on fairly tough mark.
13th	15 13th (15) (17/2 -6%) Tune In A Box		8.5 17/2(-6%)																															(15) Tune In A Box 17/2, Winner of 4 of his 5 starts following the switch to handicap company last term, culminating in an impressive display in a valuable Punchestown handicap (19.4f, good to soft) during the spring. Up 15 lb for that but he could have more to offer this season. Won comfortably by 8l at Punchestown festival in April and is now 4-5 in handicaps.
14th	10 14th (10) (13/2 +46%) Into The Park		6.5 13/2(+46%)																															(10) Into The Park 13/2, Plenty about him physically and he improved when bagging a Newbury maiden and Taunton handicap (both at around 2m) last winter. Failed to land a meaningful blow back at Newbury when last seen in March but there may yet be better to come from this 5-y-o. Yard also represented by Lowry's Bar. Lightly raced 5yo; dual 2m winner early in 2024; should have more to offer over this trip.
15th	1 15th (1) (22/1 -238%) Crebilly		22 22/1(-238%)																															(1) Crebilly 22/1, Progressive in this sphere a couple of seasons back and highlight of novice chase campaign last term was his fine second in a Cheltenham Festival handicap (20.6f, soft) in March. Let-down by a sloppy round of jumping at Aintree next time and looks vulnerable under joint top-weight back hurdling. Creditable second in Cheltenham Festival chase in March; reverts to hurdling off 2lb lower.
16th	11 16th (11) (18/1 +18%) American Sniper		18 18/1(+18%)																															(11) American Sniper 18/1, Resumed winning ways in first-time tongue strap at Cheltenham last November but hasn't managed to reproduce that level of form in 3 subsequent starts. Has undergone another wind op since his latest appearance in April and others make more appeal. Won 20-runner Cheltenham handicap last autumn but well below that form next three runs.
9	9 |PU| (9) (14/1 -56%) Irish Hill		14 14/1(-56%)																															(9) Irish Hill 14/1, Won 3 on the bounce during 2022/23 campaign and while he failed to add to his tally last season, to his credit he posted several creditable efforts in defeat. Resumes on a fair mark and he could have a part to play if fully tuned-up. Placed on final two starts last season but may not be quite as good as he was.

15:20 Chepstow Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Doyen Quest justified favouritism to complete a double at Cheltenham in April and it would be no surprise to see him get into contention off only 3lb higher. However, the vote goes to TUNE IN A BOX, who struck in stylish fashion at the Punchestown festival and even though he was hit with a 15lb rise for that success, he might be up to the task. Irish Hill and Take No Chances are others to consider in a wide-open heat.

INTO THE PARK and Lowry's Bar, both lightly-raced types from the Hobbs & White yard, are appealing candidates for what is a typically competitive renewal of this valuable handicap. Marginal preference is for the former, who was a progressive novice last season and he should have more to offer. Jipcot and Tune In A Box are also open to improvement, while the Paul Nicholls-trained duo Afadil and Irish Hill merit respect, too.

Dan Skelton's progressive 6yo DOYEN QUEST (nap) produced a good late surge at Cheltenham in April and remains well handicapped.

1	10 1st (10) (6/1 -50%) Grandeur D'ame		6 6/1(-50%)																															(10) Grandeur D'ame 6/1, Resumed his progress, after 6 months off, with a wide-margin success at Wetherby (19.4f) in November. Couldn't really build on that, however, and reappears 7 lb above his last winning mark. Up and down last season but it started well and he appeals as a chaser with more to offer.
2	2 2nd (2) (8/1 -45%) Ga Law		8 8/1(-45%)																															(2) Ga Law 8/1, Won last season's Paddy Power at Cheltenham and bagged another big middle-distance handicap at that track earlier this year. Matched best form when second in Oaksey Chase (22.8f) at Sandown on final start of campaign and is not taken lightly on return. Back to his best earlier this year and can go well fresh; drying ground would be a plus.
3	8 3rd (8) (11/4 +17%) The King Of Ryhope		2.75 11/4(+17%)																															(8) The King Of Ryhope 11/4, Low-mileage 8-y-o who made a winning return/handicap chase debut over C&D 12 months ago. Failed to add to that success in 4 subsequent outings but has likely been aimed at this by his shrewd yard and must enter calculations. Pleasing first season over fences and remains a handicapper capable of better again.
4	7 4th (7) (15/2 +17%) Saint Segal		7.5 15/2(+17%)																															(7) Saint Segal 15/2, Won twice (including at this course) in 2022/23 and acquitted himself well in defeat early last season, looking the likely winner when coming down late on at Ascot in November. Form tailed off in latter part of campaign but no surprise to see him play a part first time up here. Had wind operation. Very capable but best form is over shorter and he doesn't always find much for pressure.
5th	6 5th (6) (7/2 +30%) Il Ridoto		3.5 7/2(+30%)																															(6) Il Ridoto 7/2, Likeable sort who made the frame in a trio of competitive Cheltenham handicaps on his first 3 outings last season. Not in same form thereafter but has had a wind operation since his last start and looks nicely treated on his return to the track. Returns on a dangerous mark and has run well after a wind operation in the past.
6th	9 6th (9) (11/1 +67%) La Domaniale		11 11/1(+67%)																															(9) La Domaniale 11/1, Four-time winner over fences who produced somewhere near her best form when second of 5 in handicap chase (9/1) at Stratford (19.4f, good) 46 days ago. This looks tougher, though, and others are more appealing. Will need a career best to win this and good ground is ideal for her.
7th	4 7th (4) (50/1 -150%) Flegmatik		50 50/1(-150%)																															(4) Flegmatik 50/1, Ended a near 2-year losing run when scoring at Kempton (24f) in January and took his form up a notch when an excellent runner-up there (20.5f) in March. However, looks on a stiff mark and appears to be the yard's second string based on jockey bookings. Goes particularly well at Kempton; lost his way back in the spring.
8th	5 8th (5) (10/1 +0%) Homme Public		10 10/1(+0%)																															(5) Homme Public 10/1, Multiple winner over hurdles who found improvement switched to the larger obstacles last term, scoring 3 times. Can go well fresh and reappears just 1 lb above his last winning mark so warrants respect. On a perfectly reasonable mark should he return well and refreshed.
9th	1 9th (1) (80/1 -400%) Editeur Du Gite		80 80/1(-400%)																															(1) Editeur Du Gite 80/1, Bold-jumping front runner who landed the Desert Orchid at Kempton for the second year running in December but no form otherwise last season, and disappointed when last seen in Kempton handicap in May. Classy on his day and dangerous if he can find some rhythm in front.
10th	3 10th (3) (6/1 -20%) Jetoile		6 6/1(-20%)																															(3) Jetoile 6/1, Won twice over C&D in spring of 2023 and made a winning return in Old Roan Chase at Aintree this time last year. Back to best when fourth in big-field handicap at Punchestown (20.4f) in May and must be taken seriously first time up here. Won the Old Roan Chase at Aintree (2m4f) and he's only 1lb higher than that day.

16:00 Chepstow Handicap Chase (Class 2) 19f  Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

A lot more was expected of The King Of Ryhope when he could only manage eighth at Aintree in April, but there is every possibility he could be seen in a different light on his return from a break. Even so, GA LAW looks the way to go. Jamie Snowden's eight-year-old filled the runner-up spot in the Oaksey Chase at Sandown when last seen and he might be able to regain the winning thread back in a handicap. La Domaniale is another to keep an eye on.

IL RIDOTO acquitted himself really well in the early part of last season and looks nicely handicapped on the pick of his form. He can make a winning return. The KIng of Ryhope scored first time up here last term and is feared most, whilst Jetoile and GA Law are also much respected.

A good-quality and competitive handicap. THE KING OF RYHOPE appeals as one with more to offer and might be on a kinder mark than some.

1	11 1st (11) (8/1 +60%) Neon Moon		8 8/1(+60%)																															(11) Neon Moon 8/1, Strong traveller who returned better than ever to open his account over fences at Ludlow in October and got back to winning ways at Newbury (23.4f) in March. However, well held at Kempton when last seen in May and has plenty on his plate from 4 lb out of the handicap. Won twice last season but is not very reliable; 4lb wrong here; others preferred.
2	10 2nd (10) (10/1 +29%) Pull Again Green		10 10/1(+29%)																															(10) Pull Again Green 10/1, Returned to form in recent starts, latest when good third of 7 in handicap chase at Warwick (25.4f, good) 18 days ago, finishing with running left. Takes on stronger company here but should give another good account. 1 lb out of the weights. Has twice run well to finish third in recent weeks; might have a fitness edge over some.
3	8 3rd (8) (9/1 -50%) Manothepeople		9 9/1(-50%)																															(8) Manothepeople 9/1, C&D winner who posted a personal best when landing 14-runner handicap chase at Cheltenham (26f, good) in April. Can go well fresh and is one for shortlist. Ended last season in prime form, scoring under very positive ride at Cheltenham; up 7lb.
4	6 4th (6) (12/1 -71%) Ballygrifincottage		12 12/1(-71%)																															(6) Ballygrifincottage 12/1, Produced his best effort for a while when runner-up in Sandown handicap in March and ran to a similar level when seventh of 26 in Scottish Grand National next time. Only collared late on at Uttoxeter (24f) when last seen in May and returns off a workable mark. Ran well at Uttoxter in May and has possibilities if ready to roll after break.
5th	9 5th (9) (9/2 -80%) Twinjets		4.5 9/2(-80%)																															(9) Twinjets 9/2, Multiple bumper/hurdles winner who found improvement when making a successful debut for Paul Nicholls over fences at Doncaster (24f) in December. Not in same form there a fortnight later but is in good hands and likely has more to offer this season. Off since odds-on flop last December but won comfortably on stable deut two runs ago.
6th	3 6th (3) (16/1 -33%) Kitty's Light		16 16/1(-33%)																															(3) Kitty's Light 16/1, Had a terrific 2022/23, landing Eider Chase, Scottish National and Bet365 Gold Cup and ran right up to best when fifth in Grand National earlier this year. May find this trip on the sharp side first time up here, though. Very creditable fifth in Grand National in April; that race is his main target this season.
2	2 |PU| (2) (3/1 +60%) Stolen Silver		3 3/1(+60%)																															(2) Stolen Silver 3/1, Firmly back on track when making winning return (off 4 lb lower) in this contest 12 months ago. Far from disgraced in Coral Gold Cup on only subsequent start and talented claimer takes handy 5 lb off here. Big player. Won this race very stylishly a year ago, after a break; high on the list.
7	7 |PU| (7) (11/2 +8%) Toss Again		5.5 11/2(+8%)																															(7) Toss Again 11/2, Won twice in summer of last year and back to that sort of form when fourth in competitive Ballinrobe handicap in May. However, ran poorly in Galway Plate last time and others are more convincing. Has become inconsistent but ran big race in Mayo National two starts ago; can't rule out.
4	4 |PU| (4) (12/1 -100%) Arizona Cardinal		12 12/1(-100%)																															(4) Arizona Cardinal 12/1, Admirable sort who won 4 of 6 starts last term, ending his campaign with career-best victory in 24-runner Topham Handicap Chase (20/1) at Aintree (21.1f, soft) in April. 5 lb higher on return but must enter calculations. Ended last season with game win over the big Aintree fences; resumes on career-high mark.
1	1 |PU| (1) (16/1 -33%) Nassalam		16 16/1(-33%)																															(1) Nassalam 16/1, Followed up his good fourth in Grand Sefton last term by scoring over C&D and took his form to a new level when bolting up in Welsh National here over Christmas. Disappointed in Gold Cup/Grand National subsequently, though, and reappears off a stiff mark. Won Welsh National by wide margin here last winter; returns on a daunting handicap mark.
5	5 |PU| (5) (16/1 -14%) Sail Away		16 16/1(-14%)																															(5) Sail Away 16/1, Dual winner on good ground in 2022/23 and shaped well on several occasions in defeat last term. However, folded tamely when last seen at Aintree in May and has something to prove now. Good fourth at Doncaster in January but signed off with two disappointing runs in spring.

16:35 Chepstow Handicap Chase (Class 2) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Stolen Silver landed the corresponding event 12 months ago from 4lb lower and he must be respected with 5lb claimer Dylan Johnston booked, but the vote goes to ARIZONA CARDINAL. A progressive sort last season, Stuart Edmunds' charge rounded off the campaign by winning the Topham in April. A 5lb higher mark demands more, but the eight-year-old has gone well when fresh previously and might have more in the locker. Topweight Nassalam contested the Grand National when last seen and must enter the reckoning in these calmer waters with conditions in his favour, while Manothepeople is also noted.

Last year's winner STOLEN SILVER finds himself in a deeper event this time round but it was hard not to be impressed with the manner of that victory and he makes plenty of appeal again. Manofthepeople and Twinjets head the list of dangers in what looks a cracking contest.

We haven't seen him since last December but STOLEN SILVER produced an excellent performance to win this race when fresh a year ago.

Made low-key debut at Plumpton in April but stable usually does very well in bumpers.
5th	5 5th (5) (7/1 +13%) Harry Junior		7 7/1(+13%)																															(5) Harry Junior 7/1, €65,000 3-y-o, Doyen gelding. Closely related to useful hurdler Harry Senior.

6th	1 6th (1) (11/2 +27%) Holokea		5.5 11/2(+27%)																															(1) Holokea 11/2, Irish point winner who made the perfect start under Rules when scoring at Worcester in the summer.

7th	7 7th (7) (9/2 -100%) Keel Strand		4.5 9/2(-100%)																															(7) Keel Strand 9/2, €75,000 3-y-o, €120,000 4-y-o, Authorized gelding.

17:10 Chepstow NH Flat Race (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Paul Nicholls has a fine record in this contest over the years and KEEL STRAND may well enhance that record further. Picked up for 120,000 euros in May having finished second in a point-to-point the month prior, the son of Authorized makes plenty of appeal on paper so it would come as no surprise were he to make an immediate impact. Holokea won on her Rules debut at Worcester in June and he could feature under a 7lb penalty, although point winner Moneygarrow, a brother of the smart Minella Crooner, might be the bigger threat.

MONEYGARROW and Keel Strand are both potentially exciting recruits from points representing top yards and they may well dominate this. The first named might be more forward and is marginally preferred, while Holokea deserves respect after scoring at Worcester on debut in the summer.

Paul Nicholls has an excellent record in his race and his new recruit KEEL STRAND can build upon his promising Irish point debut.

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.
