1	4 1st (4) (1/1 +43%) Jurancon		1 1/1(+43%)																															(4) Jurancon 1/1, Successful in Irish points and looked a good prospect when going 2-3 in bumpers at Hereford in March. Off 7 months, made a bright start in this sphere when second of 11 in a Worcester novice (2m, heavy) 3 weeks ago, clear of rest. Big player with progress anticipated. Point and dual bumper winner who went close on hurdling debut at Worcester; respected.
2	6 2nd (6) (6/4 +100%) Tripoli Flyer		1.5 6/4(+100%)																															(6) Tripoli Flyer 6/4, Getaway gelding who improved with each start in bumpers, off the mark at second attempt at Lingfield (2m) in January. Excellent second in Aintree Grade 2 on final outing in April and he's a very bright prospect now his attentions switch to hurdling. Smart bumper performer and he's an exciting prospect for novice hurdles.
3	2 3rd (2) (5/1 +17%) Disguisedlimit		5 5/1(+17%)																															(2) Disguisedlimit 5/1, €70,000 3-y-o, £150,000 5-y-o, Mahler gelding. Closely related to fair hurdler Cash The Cheque, and half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Beaufort West. Won sole start in Irish points (Apr 20) and he's worth a second look on Rules/hurdles debut for stable amongst the winners. Bought for £150,000 after his Irish point win in April; interesting recruit to hurdling.
4	5 4th (5) (11/1 -57%) Mon Kaplais		11 11/1(-57%)																															(5) Mon Kaplais 11/1, €82,000 3-y-o, Kapgarde gelding. Brother to a winner, and half-brother to 4 winners, including useful hurdler Morosini. Dam hurdle winner in France. Needs respecting on debut for leading stable. 82,000euros 3yo; brother to hurdle winner and he's an interesting newcomer for Dan Skelton.
5th	8 5th (8) (80/1 -60%) Goddess Afrana		80 80/1(-60%)																															(8) Goddess Afrana 80/1, Fracas filly who ran to only a modest level in pair of bumpers at Newbury/Uttoxeter during the spring. Best watched now hurdling after 6 months off. Some promise in two bumpers but this looks a tough starting point over hurdles.
6th	9 6th (9) (150/1 +0%) Ironed Out		150 150/1(+0%)																															(9) Ironed Out 150/1, Showed a bit from a less-than-ideal position when fourth of 9 in a Southwell bumper on debut in June but not threatened either start in maiden hurdles subsequently. Probably one for handicaps later on. Promise in sole bumper but she's struggled at big prices in two hurdle runs this autumn.
7th	10 7th (10) (66/1 -230%) Jackie Can		66 66/1(-230%)																															(10) Jackie Can 66/1, Showed plenty when runner-up on bumper debut at Warwick (2m) in May. However, unable to match that level when seventh of 12 in bumper at Worcester (2m) a month later. Goes hurdling now but her long-term future over jumps may lie over further. Disappointing in her second bumper and looks best watched on hurdling debut.
8th	3 8th (3) (125/1 -25%) Gillespie Road		125 125/1(-25%)																															(3) Gillespie Road 125/1, Successful on sole outing in Irish points but down the field in 2 novice hurdles in recent weeks. Handicaps promise to be more his thing moving forward. Won an Irish point but he's been well held in both runs over hurdles; may need more time.
9th	7 9th (7) (300/1 -20%) Diamond Dusty		300 300/1(-20%)																															(7) Diamond Dusty 300/1, Little encouragement in a brace of bumpers/novice hurdle. Pulled-up 200-1 shot in much weaker race than this on September's hurdling debut.
1	1 |PU| (1) (150/1 -20%) Alderley Charlie		150 150/1(-20%)																															(1) Alderley Charlie 150/1, Ask gelding. Dam (h91) 2¾m hurdle winner. Rates a likely outsider on racecourse bow and percentage call to look elsewhere. Second foal of a 2m5f hurdle winner; has fair standard to aim at on debut is best watched.

13:20 Chepstow Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

TRIPOLI FLYER travelled strongly when just touched off by his stable companion Horaces Pearl in the Grade 2 bumper at Aintree's Grand National meeting and this appears to be a fine opportunity for him to make a successful start to life over timber. Dual bumper winner Jurancon finished second on his hurdling bow at Worcester and has to enter the reckoning, along with newcomer Mon Kaplais and 150,000-pounds point-to-point winner Disguisedlimit.

TRIPOLI FLYER was most progressive in bumpers last term, successful at Lingfield prior to an excellent second in an Aintree Grade 2 on his final outing in April. A useful prospect now hurdling, he shades the vote ahead of Jurancon, who was 2-3 in bumpers and made a bright start over hurdles when second at Worcester 21 days ago. Point winner Disguisedlimit and Mon Kaplais are others to note.

The vote goes to smart bumper performer TRIPOLI FLYER, who looks an exciting prospect for novice hurdles. Jurancon is feared most.

1	10 1st (10) (11/10 +60%) French Ship		1.1 11/10(+60%)																															(10) French Ship 11/10, Bumper winner who made a promising start over hurdles when second of 11 over 2m here last month. Sure to improve and go well. Bumper winner who was clear second on hurdling debut here last month; respected up in trip.
2	11 2nd (11) (11/8 -123%) Let It Rain		1.375 11/8(-123%)																															(11) Let It Rain 11/8, Looked a good prospect when winning both bumpers last winter, latterly an Ascot listed race. Very interesting hurdle newcomer. 2-2 in bumpers (including a Listed win) and she's an exciting recruit to hurdling.
3	6 3rd (6) (15/2 +25%) Newton Tornado		7.5 15/2(+25%)																															(6) Newton Tornado 15/2, £85,000 buy after winning sole start in Irish points (May 19). Starts out over hurdles in a warm-looking race but it'll still be interesting to see what the betting makes of him. Sole for £85,000 after his Irish point win; well bred and needs close look on rules debut.
4	3 4th (3) (13/2 +7%) Got A Dream		6.5 13/2(+7%)																															(3) Got A Dream 13/2, Getaway gelding who left debut form behind when landing an 8-runner bumper at Huntingdon. Took another step forward when 8¼ lengths seventh of 18 in Grade 2 bumper at Aintree final start. Should be up to making his presence felt now hurdling. Bumper winner who ran respectably in Grade 2 at Aintree; nice prospect for novice hurdles.
5th	9 5th (9) (50/1 -150%) Socialiser		50 50/1(-150%)																															(9) Socialiser 50/1, From the family of Simonsig and Dusart. Point winner but absent since finishing second in a 3m Fakenham hunter chase on his Rules debut in May 2022. Can only be watched. Point winner but he makes hurdling debut after a massive absence and others are preferred.
6th	1 6th (1) (80/1 -60%) Babatunde		80 80/1(-60%)																															(1) Babatunde 80/1, Purchased for £50,000 after finishing third in an Irish point in April. Showed ability when 26 lengths fourth on his Ffos Las hurdle debut 24 days ago. May do better. Close up in sole Irish point but was a remote fourth on hurdling debut at Ffos Las (2m6f).
7th	8 7th (8) (80/1 -21%) River Run Free		80 80/1(-21%)																															(8) River Run Free 80/1, Placed both completed starts in Irish points but finished a long way behind French Ship on his recent 2m course hurdle debut. Placed in two points but he made a low-key start over hurdles here last month.
8th	5 8th (5) (150/1 -50%) Largy Valley		150 150/1(-50%)																															(5) Largy Valley 150/1, Overcame greenness to make a winning debut in Ayr bumper (2m) for Stuart Crawford in 2022 but well held in a bumper and 2 novice hurdles in a light career for Charlie Longsdon since. Bumper winner in 2022 but he's struggled for current yard including two runs over hurdles.
9th	2 9th (2) (250/1 -25%) El Bandido Pancho		250 250/1(-25%)																															(2) El Bandido Pancho 250/1, Westerner gelding who has offered little in a bumper and 2 hurdles. Almost certainly more one for handicaps after this. Struggled in a bumper and two hurdles runs early this year; can only be watched.
10th	4 10th (4) (300/1 -50%) Johnnie River		300 300/1(-50%)																															(4) Johnnie River 300/1, No sign of ability in varied events. Tailed off in all five runs including two maidens over hurdles; no appeal.
11th	7 11th (7) (150/1 -50%) Pethers Run		150 150/1(-50%)																															(7) Pethers Run 150/1, Runner-up both starts in points but sent off at 28/1 when a remote fifth on Ludlow hurdle debut last month. Went close in two points but he was only fifth of six on hurdling debut at Ludlow.

13:50 Chepstow Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

French Ship offered plenty to work with when second on his hurdles bow over 2m here last month and he is likely to relish this distance. However, dual bumper winner LET IT RAIN makes her debut over timber and, in receipt of weight all round, Dan Skelton's mare could have too much class for these rivals. Newton Tornado created a good impression when winning on his sole start between the flags in Ireland and market support would be interesting.

FRENCH SHIP is the percentage call on the back of his promising opening second over hurdles in a 2m course novice last month, although Dan Skelton listed bumper winner Let It Rain has the potential to be a big threat if taking to her new discipline back from 10 months off. Got A Dream is another bumper winner who should have a bright future over jumps in an interesting maiden hurdle.

This can go to Dan Skelton's mare LET IT RAIN, who was 2-2 in bumpers last season and looks an exciting recruit to hurdling.

1	1 1st (1) (9/4 -64%) Javert Allen		2.25 9/4(-64%)																															(1) Javert Allen 9/4, Lightly-raced gelding who made a winning racecourse bow at Bangor 2 years ago and finished runner-up in both starts in handicap hurdles over this sort of trip last season. Must be of interest on chase debut. Second in both handicap hurdles last season and looks an interesting recruit to fences.
2	5 2nd (5) (25/1 +24%) Lucky Lugger		25 25/1(+24%)																															(5) Lucky Lugger 25/1, Posted best effort over hurdles when third in a novice here in April but pulled up on handicap debut here next time and has a bit to prove on switch to chasing. Pulled up on handicap hurdle debut in April and has a lot to prove on seasonal/chase debut.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/2 +9%) Onewayortother		2.5 5/2(+9%)																															(4) Onewayortother 5/2, Bettered hurdles form at the first time of asking in this sphere when third of 5 in handicap chase (7/2) at Warwick (16.2f, good to soft) in May. Likely more to come over the larger obstacles. 0-5 over hurdles but made a pretty good start to chasing career in May; back from a break.
4	3 4th (3) (15/8 +25%) Valadon		1.875 15/8(+25%)																															(3) Valadon 15/8, Dual winner last term who was far from disgraced when third of 8 on handicap bow in juvenile hurdle at Sandown (16f, soft) when last seen in March. Must enter calculations on chase debut. 2-4 as a juvenile hurdler last season; connections are evidently keen to try fences.
5th	2 5th (2) (9/1 +10%) Now Or Never		9 9/1(+10%)																															(2) Now Or Never 9/1, Fair form over hurdles and fences in France but hasn't shown much in 4 starts (all handicap hurdles) for current yard. However, had a wind operation since his last run and no surprise to see an improved showing switched to the larger obstacles here. Disappointing over hurdles in Britain but may yet come good for Venetia Williams.

14:20 Chepstow Handicap Chase (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Having found only a progressive rival too strong at Wincanton last December, chasing/seasonal debutant JAVERT ALLEN ticks plenty of the right boxes. Jane Williams' gelding has the scope to excel over fences and he edges the vote over fellow unexposed rival Valadon. Connections are wasting no time in sending the four-year-old over the larger obstacles and his 8lb weight-for-age allowance means he cannot be taken lightly. Onewayortother should put the experience gained when third at Warwick to good use.

JAVERT ALLEN acquitted himself well in a couple of hurdles last term and his half-brother made a successful switch to chasing for this yard 3 years ago. He gets the nod in what should prove an informative contest. Onewayortother made a good start over fences earlier this year and may provide the chief threat.

Low-mileage 5yo JAVERT ALLEN is well handicapped if judged on his close second to a progressive hurdler at Wincanton last December.

The runner-up has done nothing for that form but good chance there's more to come from her. Shrugged off a 10lb rise to win on her reappearance at Ffos Las last month..
2	3 2nd (3) (40/1 -471%) Keppel Queen		40 40/1(-471%)																															(3) Keppel Queen 40/1, Showed first form over hurdles when fifth of 10 in a 21f Warwick novice (good) 34 days ago. Cheekpieces back on for handicap debut and will be suited by this further increase in trip. Modest form at best in four starts but steps up in trip on handicap debut..

Up in trip and improvement needed. Third in Worcester novice in June but well down the field in her first three handicaps..

Well-held eighth of nine at Fontwell last month after lengthy absence..
7th	2 7th (2) (22/1 -38%) Shaving		22 22/1(-38%)																															(2) Shaving 22/1, Failed to improve from a stiffish opening mark when fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (25.5f, good) 23 days ago.

Reverts to hurdling now with something to prove. Pulled up in two handicap chases since winning point, last time on debut for this yard..
11th	8 11th (8) (33/1 -65%) Kentford Mallard		33 33/1(-65%)																															(8) Kentford Mallard 33/1, Consistent mare who probably needed the run after 4 months off when beating only one home in 9-runner handicap hurdle at Hereford (19.7f, good) 23 days ago.

Remains open to improvement for current yard. Shaped with encouragement on first run for 478 days when third of 11 at Worcester..

14:55 Chepstow Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

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

I'm On My Way continued her upward trajectory when making a winning seasonal debut at Ffos Las and a 6lb higher mark is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. Neil Mulholland's mare deserves her place near the top of the market, but it could be worth taking a punt on DANA'S GEM back up in trip. The six-year-old was a staying-on third over 2m4f at Worcester and a breakthrough victory may beckon. Musique De Fee and Kentford Mallard are others to consider.

I'M ON MY WAY is proving most progressive and is fancied to go in again. Dana's Gem shaped quite encouragingly on her comeback/stable debut at Worcester in September and remains open to improvement from a basement mark, with After Many Days completing the shortlist.

Improving I'M ON MY WAY (nap) who can land her fourth win from her last five starts. Dana's Gem is second choice.

10th	3 10th (3) (16/1 +20%) Despereaux		16 16/1(+20%)																															(3) Despereaux 16/1, 16/1, third of 9 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (20f, heavy) 21 days ago, unsuited by emphasis on stamina. Tongue strap back on. Looks competitive on form. Dual hurdle winner but he's 0-9 in handicaps and was a remote third at Worcester latest.
11th	16 11th (16) (13/2 +13%) The Cox Express		6.5 13/2(+13%)																															(16) The Cox Express 13/2, Winless since his debut but he posted a very good second of 12 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (21.8f, good) 6 months ago. Cheekpieces back on. Has to be taken seriously. Runner-up at Fontwell but not sure this drop back in trip will suit on his return.
12th	11 12th (11) (100/1 +0%) Commodore Miller		100 100/1(+0%)																															(11) Commodore Miller 100/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Worcester (20f, heavy, 125/1) 21 days ago. Has a bit to prove. Ten-race maiden who was pulled up at Worcester on his return last month; opposable.
13th	8 13th (8) (7/1 +72%) Ballydangan		7 7/1(+72%)																															(8) Ballydangan 7/1, Maiden. Fifteenth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (24f, good, 16/1) 68 days ago on his final run for William Harvey. Since had a wind op and needs considering for new handler. 0-15 but she's had wind surgery and needs watching in market in first run for Dan Skelton.
14th	5 14th (5) (28/1 -155%) Carved In Stone		28 28/1(-155%)																															(5) Carved In Stone 28/1, Fair winner at 17f in bumpers. 11/1, fair third of 4 in novice hurdle at Southwell (24.3f, good to firm) 34 days ago on his final run for Hugo Palmer. Respected on his yard/handicap hurdle debut. Well beaten in all three hurdle runs and needs a transformation on handicap/stable debut.
13	13 |PU| (13) (14/1 -75%) Jacksbar		14 14/1(-75%)																															(13) Jacksbar 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 28/1, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Up in trip and worth considering. Unexposed 5yo who could find more on this step up in trip; one of two for Dan Skelton.
9	9 |PU| (9) (16/1 +20%) Auba Me Yang		16 16/1(+20%)																															(9) Auba Me Yang 16/1, Winner at Ffos Las in February 2023 but ninth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (19f, soft) 18 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running. Flopped in his final two runs last spring and has something to prove after a long absence.
18	18 |PU| (18) (18/1 -29%) Seren Y Teigr		18 18/1(-29%)																															(18) Seren Y Teigr 18/1, Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap hurdle (11/2) at Newton Abbot (18.5f, good to soft) 108 days ago. Needs considering. Inconsistent nine-race maiden who didn't fire last time; looks risky after another break.
6	6 |PU| (6) (25/1 0%) That's The Badger		25 25/1(0%)																															(6) That's The Badger 25/1, Below-par fourth of 9 in handicap chase at Warwick (24f, soft) nearly 3 years ago for Henry Daly. Has his fitness to prove but new yard in form. Still lightly raced but he has lots to prove back from a massive absence for new yard.

15:30 Chepstow Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f  Race Class Flow

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

In what looks a competitive affair, BOSTON JOE gets a tentative vote. Rebecca Curtis' charge fairly bolted up on his seasonal reappearance over fences at Ffos Las last month and, off a hurdles figure 8lb lower than his revised chase rating, this looks a fine opportunity for him to bring up a double. Speiriuil made a pleasing start to life in handicaps when runner-up over 2m at Uttoxeter in May and she must enter calculations off the same mark. Stardhem is just one more to consider.

Plenty are in with a shout. THE COX EXPRESS is on a long losing run but signalled he is ready to strike again when runner-up at Fontwell when last seen so can return in style off a lenient mark with his yard going well. Recent Ffos Las victor Boston Joe heads the list of dangers, although the likes of Ballydangan, Despereaux, Hedera Park and Stardhem all need factoring into this very open contest too.

This revolves around BOSTON JOE, who won by 20l over fences last month and is only 2lb higher back in this sphere.

16:05 Chepstow NH Flat Race (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

There is lots to like about the chances of Choice Runner on paper and the 95,000-euro purchase commands respect on his Rules bow for the in-form Dan Skelton team. That said, Anthony Honeyball also has his string in fine fettle at present, and his JORDANS CROSS edges preference. He scored impressively in his only point-to-point and this 50,000-pounds son of Berkshire could land the spoils on his bumper debut. Kingston Queen is also considered.

CHOICE RUNNER hails from a yard with a solid record in bumpers and gets the nod in a race where the market may prove the best guide. Jordans Cross and Kingston Queen are also of interest.

There is not much to go on and the safest option is the Skelton representative CHOICE RUNNER. The main danger may be Jordans Cross.

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.
