16:20 – Dunraven Windows Miss Millbrook Novices’ Hurdle (GBB Race)
Race Details: 2m 3f | Class 4 | Going: Chase 6.1, hurdle 5.9) (watering) (rail movements (Good to soft, good in places (goingstick) | | jumps
This looks a fair novice rather than a deep one, and the market has probably latched onto the right quartet. Quay Item brings the strongest rating and the most obvious upside for Nicky Henderson, while Beau Quali arrives battle-hardened after knocking on the door in similar company. Piping Rock has been admirably consistent without quite getting his head in front, and Treasure Planet is interesting getting weight as a 4yo for the Nicholls-Cobden team. Behind those, it quickly gets messy, with several big prices needing dramatic improvement. Over this 2m3f on good to soft, I’d expect accurate jumping and a bit of tactical pace to matter. It is not an impossible puzzle, but there are enough solid contenders to stop it being a penalty kick for the favourite.
Top Selections
1. Quay Item – 15/8 with Bet365
Jockey: Mr Daniel Williams | Trainer: Nicky Henderson | Form: 312 | Rating: 133 | Topspeed: 110
Quay Item sets the standard on what we know so far and, in a race lacking depth beyond the front end of the market, that counts for plenty. The form figures of 312 tell a straightforward story of a novice learning his job properly, and an official mark of 133 is the best on offer here. Henderson’s horses in these spring novice events are usually well placed, and this one has already shown enough ability to think a Class 4 like this is within reach. At 15/8 he is not exactly hidden, but he is still hard to oppose if producing a clean round and seeing out this trip strongly. Bet: WIN
2. Treasure Planet – 7/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Harry Cobden | Trainer: Paul Nicholls | Form: 41523 | Rating: 117 | Topspeed: 95
Treasure Planet makes plenty of each-way appeal because he brings solid, recent hurdle form and gets in here with a handy racing weight against the older horses. His sequence of 41523 suggests he has been holding his level nicely, and while his mark of 117 leaves him with a bit to find on the figures, this is not a race packed with hidden monsters. Cobden aboard for Nicholls is never a booking to ignore at Chepstow, and the 4yo allowance angle gives him a sporting chance of nicking a place at the very least. Around 7/2, he looks the sensible each-way alternative to the favourite. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Quay Item is the win play on the strength of his rating and progressive novice profile. For an each-way punt, Treasure Planet makes more appeal than the exposed Beau Quali at the prices, especially with weight on his side. The main danger is probably Beau Quali, who keeps running his race, while Piping Rock is another who could hit the frame without being an obvious one to trust for the win.

16:55 – Sun Trade Windows Final Pride Handicap Chase (GBB Race)
Race Details: 3m 2f | Class 3 | Going: Chase 6.1, hurdle 5.9) (watering) (rail movements (Good to soft, good in places (goingstick) | | jumps
This is a compact little staying handicap chase, but it is not lacking for angles. Inflexible heads the market after getting back on track last time and is clearly the one they all have to beat off a handy racing weight, while Loup De Maulde is another with a big say on raw ability despite not quite getting his head in front recently. Broomfields Cave arrives in winning form and looks sure to make this a proper stamina test, which could expose one or two. Charles Ritz is reliable enough at this level without looking especially well treated, while Manothepeople and Amateur need to bounce back. It is not the deepest Class 3 you will see, but there are enough solid stayers here to make it a race where rhythm and resolution over the final half-mile should decide things.
Top Selections
1. Inflexible – 9/4 with Bet365
Jockey: David Bass | Trainer: David Killahena & Graeme McPherson | Form: 1/F-P1 | Rating: 140 | Topspeed: 127
He is hardly straightforward judged on that form string, but the upside is obvious and his latest win brought him right back into focus. A mark of 140 does not look harsh for an 8yo with his profile, especially with just 10st 14lb on his back in a race where a few of these are fully exposed. The Topspeed figure of 127 is a healthy one in this field and suggests he has the gears as well as the stamina for 3m2f around here. David Bass is a positive booking for a race that may become tactical in places, and at 9/4 he looks the most likely winner if reproducing his latest effort. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Charles Ritz – 15/2 with Sky Bet
Jockey: Ciaran Gethings | Trainer: Tom George | Form: P2-143 | Rating: 134 | Topspeed: 128
He may not have the sexy profile of the principals, but Charles Ritz is the one at a bigger price who makes some each-way appeal in a six-runner race paying two places. He has been running with credit this season, including a win and a solid third last time, and his Topspeed figure of 128 is actually the best in the line-up. Off 134 he is not badly treated if this turns into a proper slog, and Tom George’s runners in these staying chases often respond well when allowed to find a rhythm. At 15/2 with Sky Bet, he looks a fair bit more interesting than the bare market suggests and can give you a run for your money. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Inflexible is the win play and makes most appeal on the balance of current form, weight and upside. For a bit of value, Charles Ritz is the each-way punt at 15/2, especially with two places on offer in a six-runner field. The obvious dangers are Loup De Maulde, who is well capable on his day, and the in-form Broomfields Cave if allowed to dominate.

17:30 – Braceys My Coranna Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race) (Div I)
Race Details: 2m | Class 4 | Going: Chase 6.1, hurdle 5.9) (watering) (rail movements (Good to soft, good in places (goingstick) | | jumps
This looks a fairly ordinary maiden hurdle on paper rather than a deep one, and that leaves the race ripe for a runner with solid, recent placed form to boss it. My Boy Aaron sets the standard on figures after back-to-back seconds and is the obvious one they all have to beat if reproducing that level. Mariole is the interesting alternative from a powerful yard, especially as a 4yo getting weight, while Polemon has enough experience to be involved again after a fair comeback third. Both Of Us is another unexposed 4yo who could step forward, but plenty of the others need dramatic improvement. In truth, this doesn’t look a vintage contest, and the one with the most dependable hurdle form may simply take control.
Top Selections
1. My Boy Aaron – 11/8 with Betfair
Jockey: Sean Houlihan | Trainer: Robert Stephens | Form: -05332 | Rating: 116 | Topspeed: 93
He’s hardly hiding from the assessor and, in a maiden of this quality, that mark of 116 stands out. More importantly, he arrives here in form after consecutive runner-up efforts and that is stronger evidence than most of these can offer. He has been doing his best work in races that look at least comparable to this, and there’s no mystery about him: he jumps, travels and sees his race out. Sean Houlihan knows him well enough and Robert Stephens has the clear form horse. At around 11/8, he is no giveaway, but he is still hard to oppose in a race lacking depth. Bet: WIN
2. Both Of Us – 14/1 with Betfair
Jockey: David Bass | Trainer: Kerry Lee | Form: 43 | Rating: 104 | Topspeed: 51
For an each-way angle, Both Of Us makes more appeal than a few shorter ones because there should be more to come from this 4yo. He has only had the two hurdle starts, shaping with promise when fourth and then improving again to finish third, and that gradual progression is exactly what you want to latch on to in a maiden. David Bass is a positive booking in this sort of race and Kerry Lee’s youngsters often learn on the job rather than come fully formed. Receiving weight from the older principals is no bad thing either. Available at 14/1, he looks the value each-way punt if one of the market leaders underperforms. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple: My Boy Aaron is the win play because he brings the best recent hurdle form and the strongest rating into a modest maiden. For those looking beyond the favourite, Both Of Us appeals each-way at a fair price with scope to improve again. Mariole is the obvious danger on stable strength and weight allowance, while Polemon is solid enough for place purposes.

Race Details: 2m | Class 4 | Going: Chase 6.1, hurdle 5.9) (watering) (rail movements (Good to soft, good in places (goingstick) | | jumps
This doesn’t look a deep maiden, but it is the sort of race where one or two lightly-raced types can suddenly take a big step forward. Aimeric heads the market on debut over hurdles for Jennie Candlish and is the obvious unknown quantity, while Miss Kingston brings the most established hurdle form and sets a fair standard on the figures. One Island is the interesting 4yo in the field after shaping with promise in two starts and looks the one with the most upside for Paul Nicholls and Harry Cobden. Cheap Sandwiches has been knocking on the door without quite landing a blow, while plenty of the others have shown only modest bits and pieces. Tricky enough at first glance, but it may boil down to potential versus proven level.
Top Selections
1. One Island – 10/3 with Bet365
Jockey: Harry Cobden | Trainer: Paul Nicholls | Form: 63 | Rating: 101 | Topspeed: 80
One Island is the one I want on side. He improved from his debut sixth to finish third last time, and that second run suggested he is beginning to understand the job rather than merely going through the motions. A 4yo in a race like this can easily find a chunk of progress, and the Nicholls-Cobden combination at this sort of track is never something to dismiss lightly. He carries only 150lb against older rivals and looks the type to travel well over this sharp enough 2m. At 10/3, he makes more appeal than the shortish favourite because there is still proper upside here. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Miss Kingston – 7/2 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Ciaran Gethings | Trainer: Alastair Ralph | Form: -04374 | Rating: 116 | Topspeed: 86
Miss Kingston is hardly hidden, but she does bring the most solid body of hurdle form into the race and that matters in a maiden lacking depth. Her mark of 116 and Topspeed of 86 are the standout numbers on offer, and although she was only fourth last time, she has been competitive in similar company and doesn’t need to improve much to be in the first three again. The concern is whether she has become a little exposed compared to some less-exposed rivals, but in a 13-runner race she still looks a sensible each-way play. The 7/2 is fair enough if you want reliability rather than guesswork. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
One Island is the win play here, as he looks the progressive sort and may yet leave his current form behind. Miss Kingston is the safer each-way punt because her hurdle form is already stronger than most of these. Aimeric is the obvious danger on debut over timber, while Cheap Sandwiches has enough placed form to get involved if the principals underperform.

Race Details: 2m | Class 3 | Going: Chase 6.1, hurdle 5.9) (watering) (rail movements (Good to soft, good in places (goingstick) | | jumps
This may only be a four-runner handicap, but it is no gimme for the market leader. Torneo sets the standard on official figures and topspeed, though his recent form has lacked the killer blow and he now has to concede weight all round. Hypotenus is the obvious threat, arriving with solid enough recent form and the profile of a horse who can make a race of it over this sharp 2m. Bonza Boy is interesting off a light weight if this turns tactical, while Parramount looks the outsider on recent evidence but is not entirely hopeless in a race lacking depth. It is not a deep Class 3 by any means, yet it is a mildly tricky little puzzle because the class act has become expensive enough to take on.
Top Selections
1. Hypotenus – 5/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Richie McLernon | Trainer: Neil Mulholland | Form: 271363 | Rating: 130 | Topspeed: 125
Hypotenus makes most appeal in a race where the favourite looks beatable rather than bombproof. His recent sequence is solid without being flashy, but there is enough consistency in those figures to suggest he will give his running again, and he gets in here on a handy 157 compared with Torneo’s 168. Matching the favourite on topspeed and only 1lb lower on official rating once weights are factored in, he does not have much to find on the bare numbers. Richie McLernon riding for Neil Mulholland adds to the appeal, and at 5/2 he looks the value angle in a race that may be decided by efficiency and track position rather than raw brilliance. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
Betting Strategy
With only four runners, this is strictly a win-only race and Hypotenus is the one to side with at the prices. Torneo is the danger on pure ability and could simply outclass them if bouncing back, but he is short enough for a horse with a few recent chances missed. Bonza Boy is the one who could nick a place in the argument if the pace collapses.

Race Details: 2m | Class 3 | Going: Chase 6.1, hurdle 5.9) (watering) (rail movements (Good to soft, good in places (goingstick) | | jumps
This may only be a five-runner handicap hurdle, but it is a properly competitive little heat rather than a penalty kick for the favourite. The Kemble Brewery sets the standard on a mark of 133 and his latest second says he remains in good heart, though he does have to concede weight all round. Razzle Dazzle Boy is the obvious danger after a string of solid efforts and looks the one still going the right way, while Wreckless Eric has bits of form that give him a squeak if bouncing back. Inside Man and American Land are not hopeless, but both need to recover from below-par latest runs. Tactics will matter in a race of this size, and with the ground on the easy side, it could come down to who travels and jumps best under pressure.
Top Selections
1. Razzle Dazzle Boy – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Lorcan Williams | Trainer: Tim Vaughan | Form: 2-5212 | Rating: 130 | Topspeed: 122
Razzle Dazzle Boy makes plenty of appeal in a race where the market may be leaning a bit too heavily toward the topweight. His recent form is rock-solid, with that sequence reading like a horse who has found his level and is running to it time after time. He is 14lb better off at the weights with The Kemble Brewery, yet only 3lb lower on official figures, and that gives him a major chance of turning the tables if this becomes a proper scrap from the last. Lorcan Williams knows him well, Tim Vaughan’s runner arrives in form, and 9/2 looks fair value rather than a token price. Bet: WIN
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple in a five-runner race: Razzle Dazzle Boy is the win bet. The Kemble Brewery is the clear danger on the figures and could easily win if conceding weight proves no issue, but at the prices I’d much rather side with the more attractive value angle. No each-way play here in such a small field.

Race Details: 2m 7f | Class 5 | Going: Chase 6.1, hurdle 5.9) (watering) (rail movements (Good to soft, good in places (goingstick) | | jumps
This looks like it revolves around the two clear class acts, with Stumps Or Slips and Yippee Ki Yay standing out on the figures and recent form. The former arrives off a win and has been keeping solid company in this sphere, while Yippee Ki Yay posted a good second last time and has the best rating in the field. Behind them, it gets murkier. Ideal Du Tabert has a bit of each-way appeal after returning with a runner-up effort, while Pink Eyed Pedro is a grand old veteran but does need to bounce back from a pulled-up run. In truth, this is not a deep race for the grade, and a clean round of jumping from the principals may be enough to settle it.
Top Selections
1. Stumps Or Slips – 5/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Mr Zac Baker | Trainer: Edward William Walker | Form: 1162F1 | Rating: 120 | Topspeed: 89
He is hard to oppose in a race lacking depth. That recent form string reads well for this level, and the latest victory suggested he remains in good heart after also shaping well in defeat beforehand. A mark of 120 puts him right in the thick of it, and while Yippee Ki Yay edges him on rating, Stumps Or Slips brings the more convincing current profile. Zac Baker knows the job in these hunter-type contests, and if this nine-year-old gets into a smooth rhythm over these fences, he should take plenty of pegging back. At 5/4, he is no giveaway, but he is still the percentage call.
Bet: WIN
2. Ideal Du Tabert – 10/1 with Betfair
Jockey: Mr Huw Edwards | Trainer: Miss Laura Richardson | Form: 424P/2 | Rating: 113 | Topspeed: 57
If you want to get beyond the obvious pair, Ideal Du Tabert makes most appeal as an each-way punt. He returned from a break with a second, and that was an encouraging effort given he had been off the track and had looked a little difficult to place beforehand. There is enough substance in his older form as well, and a rating of 113 gives him a perfectly fair chance of nicking a place if one of the market leaders underperforms. Huw Edwards takes over for Laura Richardson, and this eight-year-old still has fewer miles on the clock than some of these. Available at 10/1, he looks the value alternative.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Stumps Or Slips is the win play because he brings the most solid recent profile and sets the standard in a modest enough contest. For an each-way angle, Ideal Du Tabert makes more appeal than the exposed veterans at the prices. The obvious danger is Yippee Ki Yay, whose rating and latest second give him strong claims if reproducing that form.

Race Details: 2m 7f | Class 4 | Going: Chase 6.1, hurdle 5.9) (watering) (rail movements (Good to soft, good in places (goingstick) | | jumps
This looks a compact mares’ handicap but not a straightforward one, especially with Hard Dealt taken out and the market likely to centre on Kilworth and Star Walking. Kilworth arrives off a win and has Harry Cobden booked, so she is the obvious starting point, while Star Walking has already shown she can operate off this sort of mark despite a disappointing pull-up last time. Roaring Home and Love Me are the interesting lurking threats lower down the weights, both capable of getting involved if the principals underperform. In a race lacking much depth, the balance may come down to who sees out the 2m7f strongest on this good-to-soft surface. It is not a deep Class 4, but it is a mildly tricky little puzzle rather than a gimme.
Top Selections
1. Kilworth – 16/5 with Betfair
Jockey: Harry Cobden | Trainer: Emma Lavelle | Form: F371P1 | Rating: 121 | Topspeed: 111
Kilworth is the one I want on side. The profile is not spotless, granted, but that latest win says she is still progressing as a staying hurdler and a mark of 121 does not look beyond her at all. She is only six, has already shown she can bounce back from a poor run, and this does not look a brutal race for the grade. Cobden is an eyecatching booking in a field this size and, at 16/5, she makes more appeal than some short-priced favourites do in similar contests. If she settles and gets into a rhythm, she has the strongest chance of taking this. Bet type tag: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Roaring Home – 7/1 with Betfair
Jockey: Sam Twiston-Davies | Trainer: Henry Daly | Form: 242P54 | Rating: 124 | Topspeed: 101
Roaring Home looks the value each-way play in a race where several have something to prove. Her recent figures are not flashy, but she has been running in a way that suggests this sort of contest is within reach, and she gets in here off just 149lb despite a rating of 124. That makes her quite interesting from a handicapping angle. Henry Daly knows how to place one in these staying hurdles and Sam Twiston-Davies is exactly the kind of rider you want when a race could turn into a test of nerve late on. At 7/1, she is worth an each-way punt to pick up the pieces if the favourite blinks. Bet type tag: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Kilworth is the win play, with her recent victory and unexposed profile making her the percentage call in a race short on solid alternatives. Roaring Home is the each-way option at 7/1, chiefly because she is weighted to be competitive and this does not look an especially strong Class 4. Star Walking is the obvious danger if forgiving that latest pull-up.
