Chepstow 16:50 Odds Comparison

Runner-up in point and progressive form over hurdles, improving (despite still looking raw) when making a successful handicap debut at Musselburgh (soft). Makes plenty of appeal to follow up, with the second franking the form in valuable handicap on Saturday.

Well-backed to make winning stable debut in first-time cheekpieces at Ffos Las (2½m, heavy), though more required to follow up under 7 lb penalty/different conditions.

Hit the frame for second consecutive start when fourth of 7 at Hereford last time, though he's likely in need of further respite from the handicapper.

Long-standing maiden again shaped well when chasing home an improver at Exeter and the booking of Sean Bowen is a significant positive, given he's been left with plenty to do on his previous 2 starts.

Attracted support on 2 of his 3 starts for R. J. Tumilty this season without ever threatening, latest on Thurles chase debut. Headgear on first time over hurdles and one to keep an eye on in the betting on debut for emerging yard.

Promising start over staying distances, beaten by a well-backed one at Taunton before bumping into a 3-time course winner at Catterick in late-January. Similar performance should see him in the mix again.

Improved on the figures when fifth of 9 on handicap bow at Taunton in December, though he was friendless in the betting and made hard work of it.

Mark continues to fall without suggesting he's ready to capitalise, though does drop in grade following creditable fifth in 9-runner handicap at Wincanton last time.

Rallied late to capitalise on a drop in grade at Wetherby in January, and while proving he can still be competitive off this mark when third at Ffos Las (heavy) subsequently, conditions aren't ideal this time.

Fair bumper winner has had a disappointing season, but he's best not judged on his latest start over hurdles at Hereford where he slithered badly on landing at the first. Market can guide with Harry Cobden (1-1) back aboard.

Lightly-raced 6-y-o left previous efforts switched to markedly longer trip/handicap, finishing third of 9 at Stratford, but he has more to do at the weights on first start in open company.

Still in good heart when third in competitive 17-runner handicap at Exeter last time (2¼ lengths behind Blue In The West) and should give his running again.

Again below form when fourth of 10 on seasonal reappearance at Chepstow and hard to be confident of revival with tongue strap/cheekpieces refitted.

Landed second leg of a small-field handicap hat-trick over C&D last season. Fared better than on stable debut, without beating a rival at Wetherby last time, though will at least benefit from return to this grade/ground.

Veteran landed the first leg of a double at this course (heavy) last season, though was found to have bled when pulled up here last time.
