2:06 Chepstow Tips

The 4yo was rated 10lb higher this time last year. Two runs this year after joining a new yard and he was a close runner-up two weeks ago, in a much stronger looking handicap than this contest. He has something to build on and a good jockey booking for this apprentice riders' handicap and he can still claim a useful 3lb.

Macanudo looks strong after finishing third at Nottingham last time, beaten only two lengths over this trip. He is well handicapped on his best form and has previously done well under these conditions. He is likely to go close in this open race.

A proven course-and-distance winner at Chepstow on good-to-firm ground, which is a positive for Sunday's conditions. Chepstow Racecourse is essentially a home track, with the trainer based nearby.
