Chepstow 16:30
Dunraven Windows Novices’ Hurdle (GBB Race)
Winner £4,193, 2nd £1,932, 3rd £966, 4th £484
4yo+, 6 Runners
Jumps,Turf , 2m 3f 100y , GOOD, Good to soft in places (GoingStick: Chase 6.7, Hurdle 6.4) (Watering) (Rail Movements: 4.30, 5.35, 6.05, 6.35 +36yds and 5.05, 7.35 & .05 +66yds
Kdeux Saint Fray – Best Odds: 1/1 bet365
Trainer: Anthony Honeyball | Jockey: Jonathan Burke
A classy performer who’s already shown a solid turn of foot in similar company. Form figures show consistency, and he’s proven over the trip. Will enjoy the slight drop in competition here and his speed ratings rank him high.
Lieutenant Mayne – Best Odds: 6/1 Betvictor
Trainer: John C McConnell | Jockey: Gavin Sheehan
A rather inconsistent profile, but certainly not without ability. Did put in a strong showing a few runs back but tends to fade late. Could challenge if kept handy and the leaders overdo it upfront.
The Bluesman – Best Odds: 5/4 bet365
Trainer: Paul Nicholls | Jockey: Harry Cobden
In sparkling form, winning last three outings, including at this level. Stays the trip well, and yard remains in fine form. However, ground might be slightly livelier than ideal. Still, a serious contender if he handles the conditions.
Beragon – Best Odds: 200/1 Unibet
Trainer: Robert Stephens | Jockey: Ciaran Gethings
A long-priced outsider, who has yet to finish in the mix. Offers little on form or figures and would be a shock if involved. Likely to struggle even in a slowly-run affair.
Tongaknoxie – Best Odds: 100/1 bet365
Trainer: Philip Hobbs & Johnson White | Jockey: James Best
Has shown glimpses of promise but fails to maintain rhythm throughout a race. Yet to prove he stays this far and looks outclassed on paper. Needs a major leap in form to figure.
Bara Tara – NON-RUNNER
Trainer: Fergal O’Brien
Withdrawn ahead of raceday.
Verdict
Kdeux Saint Fray looks the one to beat, as he returns to calmer waters with both class and stamina firmly on his side. The Bluesman is the main danger with his recent winning streak, though a slightly firmer ground could pose questions. Lieutenant Mayne might sneak into the placings if the tempo collapses late. As for the remainder, they’re hard to fancy without substantial improvement.

Chepstow 17:05
Pertemps Network Novices’ Handicap Chase (GBB Race)
Winner £4,700, 2nd £2,163, 3rd £1,081, 4th £541, 5th £270
5yo+, 6 Runners
Jumps,Turf , 2m 3f 98y , SOFT (GoingStick: Chase 5.4, Hurdle 5.2) (Rail movements: 1.25, 2.00, 3.07, 3.44, 4.17 & 4.52 +45yds and 2.32 +90yds)
Timetoshine – Best odds: 1/16 – bet365
Two-from-two since going hurdling and has barely come off the bridle in either success. Her jumping is neat, she travels with purpose, and this looks like another formality on her way up the ranks.
Cinq Douzaine – Best odds: 33/1 – Betvictor
Debuts over hurdles having offered little in bumpers. She’ll need a monumental improvement to land a blow in this company. A watching brief is advised unless signs of promise emerge early.
Crazy About Her – Best odds: 14/1 – BetMGM
No impact in maiden or handicap company so far, but switches into a weaker novice event here. Still, her overall profile offers limited encouragement, and she needs a big step forward to threaten.
Jackie Diamond – Best odds: 16/1 – bet365
Made a promising start when third on debut, shaping like one who would benefit from the experience. This is a much tougher test against a very short-priced favourite, but place possibilities aren’t out of the question.
Verdict
Timetoshine is head and shoulders above the field on every known metric and should continue her winning run without breaking sweat. Jackie Diamond made an encouraging start and is perhaps the likeliest to follow the favourite home. For those looking beyond the obvious, Crazy About Her might improve slightly in this less competitive setup, but it’s difficult to see past the favourite asserting once again.

Chepstow 17:35
Pertemps Network Handicap Hurdle (Pertemps Hurdle Series Qualifier) (GBB Race)
Winner £10,406, 2nd £4,784, 3rd £2,392, 4th £1,196, 5th £598, 6th £298
5yo+, 13 Runners
Jumps,Turf , 2m 7f 131y , SOFT (GoingStick: Chase 5.4, Hurdle 5.2) (Rail movements: 1.25, 2.00, 3.07, 3.44, 4.17 & 4.52 +45yds and 2.32 +90yds)
Salamanca Bay – Best odds: 9/2 – Betvictor
Struggling to rediscover consistency this season, but holds course-winning form from the past and now finds himself dropped to a winnable mark. If he can recapture anything close to his best, he’s not one to completely write off.
Lucky Lugger – Best odds: 2/1 – bet365
A model of reliability of late, with a recent victory sandwiched between two strong placed efforts. Tends to travel well into his races and handles a variety of conditions. Major player once more.
Jet Of Dreams – Best odds: 5/2 – BetMGM
Enjoying an excellent run of form this term, hitting the frame in each of his last four. Jumps fluently and maintains a strong cruising speed — should go close again with a clear round.
Boston Joe – Best odds: 4/1 – bet365
Picked up a win two outings back but struggled to build on that subsequently. When on-song, he travels well and finds under pressure, though remains vulnerable to better-finished efforts on current form.
Dj Pete – Best odds: 16/1 – Betvictor
Returning from a break with a couple of steady spins, but has yet to hit top gear this campaign. Dropping to this level might help, though he’ll need to step up significantly to get involved.
Jack Sparrow Grey – Best odds: 20/1 – bet365
Form has completely tailed off in recent months and arrives here needing to find plenty. Handles soft going, but will require a dramatic turnaround to make any real impact.
Verdict
In a field where a few arrive with questions to answer, Jet Of Dreams edges preference as a horse in solid form, having shown admirable consistency throughout the season. Lucky Lugger poses a serious threat, particularly if allowed to dictate matters from the front. For those looking for value, Salamanca Bay might bounce back at this level if conditions play to his strengths. All signs point to Jet Of Dreams maintaining his good run.

Chepstow 18:05
Pertemps Network Handicap Chase (GBB Race)
Winner £13,008, 2nd £5,980, 3rd £2,990, 4th £1,495, 5th £748, 6th £373
5yo+, 7 Runners
Jumps,Turf , 2m 11y , SOFT (GoingStick: Chase 5.4, Hurdle 5.2) (Rail movements: 1.25, 2.00, 3.07, 3.44, 4.17 & 4.52 +45yds and 2.32 +90yds)
Indiana Dream – 7/1 (bet365)
A lightly raced seven-year-old, Indiana Dream showed plenty of promise in novice chases last season but looked in need of the run on his seasonal return. If he improves from that outing, he has the ability to go close.
Harper’s Brook – 7/1 (BetVictor)
An experienced nine-year-old, Harper’s Brook scored a decisive win two starts ago but couldn’t replicate that in a stronger race last time out. Dan Skelton’s charge remains on a fair mark and could bounce back with a strong showing.
Sans Bruit – 8/1 (Unibet)
Has been inconsistent in recent outings, failing to complete on two of his last three starts. Sans Bruit has ability but needs a revival to figure here.
Prince Quali – 5/1 (bet365)
Ultra-consistent, Prince Quali has been knocking on the door in recent outings, placing in his last three starts. With his current form, he looks set to be a major contender once again.
Dr T J Eckleburg – 9/2 (BetVictor)
A reliable type, Dr T J Eckleburg has hit the frame on multiple occasions and is running well without quite getting his head in front. If things fall his way, he could be a big player.
Javert Allen – 4/1 (Unibet)
A progressive six-year-old, Javert Allen has won his last two and is improving with every run. If he continues on his upward curve, he could be difficult to stop.
Jetronic – 10/1 (bet365)
Showed promise last season but has been below par in two runs this term. Jetronic will need a strong performance to be competitive here.
Verdict
Javert Allen arrives in top form and could complete the hat-trick with another strong display. Prince Quali has been highly consistent and looks a danger, while Dr T J Eckleburg is another who should be involved at the finish. Indiana Dream could go well if building on his seasonal return.

Chepstow 18:35
Pertemps Network EMEA Handicap Hurdle (Qualifier For The Challenger Two Mile Hurdle Series Final)
Winner £5,651, 2nd £2,600, 3rd £1,300, 4th £651, 5th £324
4yo+, 7 Runners
Jumps,Turf , 2m 11y , SOFT (GoingStick: Chase 5.4, Hurdle 5.2) (Rail movements: 1.25, 2.00, 3.07, 3.44, 4.17 & 4.52 +45yds and 2.32 +90yds)
House Of Stories (Bet365 – 3/1)
Jockey: Ben Jones
Trainer: Rebecca Curtis
House Of Stories has been somewhat inconsistent but has proven his ability in the past. With odds of 3/1, he remains a potential candidate to challenge for the win, although his recent form leaves room for doubt.
Best Bookmaker: Bet365
Phantom Getaway (Unibet – 7/2)
Jockey: Ciaran Gethings
Trainer: Kim Bailey & Mat Nicholls
Phantom Getaway is an experienced horse who has shown flashes of brilliance in the past. With odds of 7/2, he could very well challenge for the top spot in this race, making him one to watch.
Best Bookmaker: Unibet
Itsnoteasy (Betvictor – 10/1)
Jockey: Kevin Brogan
Trainer: Olly Murphy
Itsnoteasy has not been in the best form lately, but there’s potential for a surprise performance. At 10/1, he could provide some decent value for those looking for an outsider bet, though winning seems unlikely.
Best Bookmaker: Betvictor
Chatshow Tv (Bet365 – 5/2)
Jockey: Jonathan Burke
Trainer: Warren Greatrex
Chatshow Tv seems to be improving with every race, and he showed promise in his previous outing. With odds of 5/2, he’s one of the favorites in this field, and he could be a strong contender for the win.
Best Bookmaker: Bet365
Innisfree Lass (Betvictor – 10/1)
Jockey: Charlie Hammond
Trainer: Stuart Edmunds
Innisfree Lass has been a bit hit or miss, but at 10/1, she offers some potential value for bettors looking for a longer shot. A top-three finish might be within her grasp, but victory seems unlikely at this stage.
Best Bookmaker: Betvictor
Ottoline (Unibet – 8/1)
Jockey: Charlie Deutsch
Trainer: Venetia Williams
Ottoline has had some ups and downs in previous races, but at 8/1, she could be worth considering for a place finish. While a win looks far-fetched, she has the experience to put in a competitive performance.
Best Bookmaker: Unibet
The Midwife (Bet365 – 5/1)
Jockey: Joe Anderson
Trainer: Grace Harris
The Midwife has been fairly consistent in recent runs, and at 5/1, she offers some decent value. Her form suggests she could feature in the top half of the field, with a potential place finish being the most likely outcome.
Best Bookmaker: Bet365
Verdict
In our opinion, Chatshow Tv at 5/2 is a strong candidate for victory, having shown steady improvement in recent runs. House Of Stories at 3/1 is another who could make a push for the win, though recent form makes him a bit of a gamble. Phantom Getaway at 7/2 is always competitive and will be looking to make his mark. The Midwife at 5/1 has solid place potential, while Ottoline and Innisfree Lass offer some value for those looking for a longer shot, though they may struggle to contend for the win. Itsnoteasy appears to have too much to prove, making him less likely to perform at the top level.

Chepstow 19:05
Pertemps Network EMEA Novices’ Limited Handicap Hurdle
Winner £3,248, 2nd £1,494, 3rd £747, 4th £374, 5th £186
4yo+, 14 Runners
Jumps,Turf , 2m 3f 100y , SOFT (GoingStick: Chase 5.4, Hurdle 5.2) (Rail movements: 1.25, 2.00, 3.07, 3.44, 4.17 & 4.52 +45yds and 2.32 +90yds)
Decorated (Bet365 – 14/1)
Jockey: Ben Jones
Trainer: Oliver Signy
Decorated has had a string of disappointing performances recently. Although he has the potential to surprise at 14/1, it’s hard to see him as a strong contender unless he finds a bit more consistency.
Best Bookmaker: Bet365
L’Empire Vert (Betvictor – 33/1)
Jockey: Sean Houlihan
Trainer: Sheila Lewis
L’Empire Vert has yet to show enough form to convince punters, with odds of 33/1 reflecting his uncertain chances. His past performances have left a lot to be desired, and it may be a challenge for him to claim a place.
Best Bookmaker: Betvictor
Sonic Gold (Unibet – 25/1)
Jockey: Ben Poste
Trainer: John O’Shea
Sonic Gold’s form hasn’t been much to write home about recently, and his odds of 25/1 are a reflection of his inconsistent performances. He will need a major improvement to be competitive in this field.
Best Bookmaker: Unibet
Babatunde (Bet365 – 7/1)
Jockey: Miss Thomasina Eyston
Trainer: Richard Mitford-Slade
Babatunde has shown some good promise in his runs, making him a solid contender here. His odds of 7/1 put him in the mix, but his recent form will need to improve for him to challenge at the front.
Best Bookmaker: Bet365
Lady Showtime (Bet365 – 9/1)
Jockey: Lorcan Murtagh
Trainer: Nigel Hawke
Lady Showtime has been in decent form lately, though her consistency has been questioned. At odds of 9/1, she is certainly capable of placing, but winning may prove a step too far.
Best Bookmaker: Bet365
Coconut Twist (Betvictor – 3/1)
Jockey: Mr Robbie David
Trainer: Daisy Hitchins
Coconut Twist has shown flashes of strong form and, with odds of 3/1, he’s considered one of the favorites in this race. If he can replicate his best performances, he could be in with a good chance.
Best Bookmaker: Betvictor
Bobalot (Unibet – 8/1)
Jockey: Kevin Brogan
Trainer: Laura Horsfall
Bobalot has had mixed form but has displayed enough ability to challenge here. At odds of 8/1, he is a contender for a place finish, but his chances of winning may be limited.
Best Bookmaker: Unibet
Archie Macdart (Bet365 – 33/1)
Jockey: Charlie Hammond
Trainer: Joe Ponting
Archie Macdart has struggled recently, with his odds of 33/1 reflecting his poor form. It will be a challenge for him to make an impact in this race, and he appears to have little chance of winning.
Best Bookmaker: Bet365
Wonderweasle (Betvictor – 4/1)
Jockey: Alan Johns
Trainer: Tim Vaughan
Wonderweasle has been in good form recently, with strong performances suggesting that he could be in contention for the top spots. His odds of 4/1 make him a promising bet, and he’s likely to challenge for the win.
Best Bookmaker: Betvictor
Nobody Told Me (Unibet – 12/1)
Jockey: Charlie Deutsch
Trainer: Thomas Faulkner
Nobody Told Me has had a string of unremarkable performances, with 12/1 odds reflecting his uncertain prospects. While he may improve, a win seems unlikely.
Best Bookmaker: Unibet
Churchman (Bet365 – 16/1)
Jockey: Jay Tidball
Trainer: Alastair Ralph
Churchman has been inconsistent, and at 16/1, he’s not expected to challenge for the win. However, a place finish is within reach if he improves on recent performances.
Best Bookmaker: Bet365
Largy Valley (Betvictor – 14/1)
Jockey: Lilly Pinchin
Trainer: Charlie Longsdon
Largy Valley has shown some promise but has failed to deliver consistent performances. His odds of 14/1 make him a dark horse in this race, with a place finish possible.
Best Bookmaker: Betvictor
Jukebox Joker (Unibet – 6/1)
Jockey: Isabel Williams
Trainer: Evan Williams
Jukebox Joker has been in reasonable form recently and may be a strong contender here. His odds of 6/1 suggest he could be in the mix for a place, if not the win.
Best Bookmaker: Unibet
Hi Riko (Bet365 – 50/1)
Jockey: Harriet Tucker
Trainer: Carroll Gray
Hi Riko has shown very little form in recent races and at 50/1, he seems highly unlikely to challenge for any positions of significance.
Best Bookmaker: Bet365
Richardson (Betvictor – 33/1)
Jockey: Lee Edwards
Trainer: Belinda Clarke
Richardson has been in inconsistent form, and with odds of 33/1, it’s tough to see him making much of an impact in this field.
Best Bookmaker: Betvictor
Inchiquin Spirit (Unibet – 22/1)
Jockey: Murray Dodd
Trainer: Alastair Ralph
Inchiquin Spirit has had a mixed run of results, and while 22/1 offers some value, he’s unlikely to be a serious contender unless he shows a major improvement.
Best Bookmaker: Unibet
Verdict
In our view, Coconut Twist (3/1) stands out as a solid favorite for this race, given his recent form and ability. Wonderweasle (4/1) is another contender who could make a serious challenge. Babatunde (7/1) is capable of a good run but may find it difficult to win. Jukebox Joker (6/1) is another who could surprise, but winning looks to be a stretch. Lady Showtime (9/1) and Bobalot (8/1) are potential place contenders, while Largy Valley (14/1) and Inchiquin Spirit (22/1) offer some each-way value. Decorated (14/1) and Sonic Gold (25/1) have shown little to suggest they can win here, while Hi Riko (50/1) and L’Empire Vert (33/1) will likely struggle. Richardson (33/1) and Churchman (16/1) are long shots who may struggle to make an impact.

Chepstow 19:35
Dean Stonehouse Memorial Open Maiden National Hunt Flat Race (Category 3 Elimination) (GBB Race)
Winner £2,451, 2nd £1,129, 3rd £564, 4th £283
4-6yo, 6 Runners
Jumps,Turf , 2m 11y , SOFT (GoingStick: Chase 5.4, Hurdle 5.2) (Rail movements: 1.25, 2.00, 3.07, 3.44, 4.17 & 4.52 +45yds and 2.32 +90yds)
1. I’m A Starman (8/1 – Bet365)
This 12-year-old, trained by Mark Rimell, has displayed some resilience recently, including a consistent run of mid-field finishes. While the form doesn’t suggest an immediate victory, the horse can surprise in an open contest like this one. With the right ride, he could be in the mix. His previous efforts show he’s capable of hanging in there for a place.
2. Thirtyfour Thirty (22/1 – Betvictor)
At 6 years old, Thirtyfour Thirty has proven to be an inconsistent type with performances fluctuating. Although he showed glimpses of promise in past races, the horse hasn’t yet shown enough to be trusted with a win here. That said, he’s certainly one to keep an eye on if the conditions suit.
3. Pipers Cross (2/1 – Unibet)
Pipers Cross is our strong contender. With an admirable track record and decent recent form, this 8-year-old has the potential to give a solid performance. The handicap hurdle distance suits him well, and he’s had some good results over similar trips. We expect him to be near the front, vying for the top spot.
4. Pride Of Paris (7/2 – Bet365)
This horse has been a little hit-and-miss recently, but on his day, Pride Of Paris is one to watch. With a solid enough rating, his form can sometimes translate into impressive performances, so if everything falls into place, he may be in with a chance for a top three finish. A good bet for a place.
5. Sporty Jim (10/1 – Betvictor)
Sporty Jim has shown a few flashes of brilliance throughout his career but hasn’t quite put together a race that suggests he’s ready for a win. At 8 years old, his age could be a limiting factor here, though he can still pick up a good finish with the right circumstances. He is a contender for a place at best.
6. To Be Sure (33/1 – Unibet)
With a few underwhelming recent performances, To Be Sure hasn’t managed to hit the expected marks. His chances here seem slim, as he’ll need to show much more improvement to challenge. It’s unlikely he will feature prominently, but stranger things have happened.
7. Gata Ban (10/1 – Bet365)
Gata Ban has had a few decent results in the past and could spring a surprise, but his inconsistency makes him a tough one to back with confidence. At 8 years old, he may still have enough in the tank to put in a solid showing, though predicting a top spot might be too optimistic.
8. Chauffeur Driven (14/1 – Betvictor)
Chauffeur Driven’s form of late has been on the decline, and it’s hard to back him in this race given the strong competition. His performances have been lackluster, and although he has the talent, he will need to bounce back significantly to challenge.
9. River Voyage (10/1 – Unibet)
River Voyage has shown flashes of potential but has been rather inconsistent. While he may not be the strongest pick for a win, his performances over similar distances suggest that he could be a solid each-way bet. Look for him to make some noise in the latter stages of the race.
10. Lightonthewing (16/1 – Bet365)
This 10-year-old has been largely disappointing recently. With a series of poor performances, it’s difficult to envision Lightonthewing contending for a high position here. The best we can expect from him is a modest finish, unless he finds an unexpected resurgence.
11. Military Tycoon (33/1 – Betvictor)
Military Tycoon has not shown enough form to warrant much faith in his chances. With a long series of poor results, it’s hard to back him for a strong finish, and we anticipate another disappointing performance unless something drastically changes.
12. Livy’s Lad (14/1 – Unibet)
Livy’s Lad has had some mixed results, and while not without talent, he has yet to deliver on a consistent basis. Given the competition in this race, a solid run is expected, but it would be surprising if he claimed a top-three finish. He remains a possible contender for a modest finish.
13. William Philo (20/1 – Bet365)
William Philo, another with inconsistent form, doesn’t look likely to place in this competitive field. His recent results show that he has not been able to make a serious challenge, and unless there is a huge improvement, he’ll likely finish outside the places.
14. Instant De Bonheur (40/1 – Betvictor)
Instant De Bonheur has shown little form recently, and at the age of 7, there seems to be little left to give. He’ll need a lot of luck and a dramatic improvement in form to make any impact here, so we expect him to be out of contention.
15. Bellamy’s Grey (25/1 – Unibet)
Despite being a 13-year-old, Bellamy’s Grey still has the heart to compete. However, his best days are likely behind him, and with a lack of recent form, a place finish seems beyond him at this stage.
Verdict
After evaluating each runner, Pipers Cross stands out as the most likely winner here, having shown consistent form and a strong track record at similar distances. Pride Of Paris and I’m A Starman may challenge for places, while Sporty Jim could sneak into the top four with a good performance. Thirtyfour Thirty and Gata Ban are dark horses to consider for a place, but the rest of the field, including Chauffeur Driven, Military Tycoon, and Bellamy’s Grey, may struggle to make an impact. The race is competitive, but Pipers Cross looks like a solid pick to win, with Pride Of Paris a good backup for each-way bets.
