4:03 Chepstow Tips

Mike Murphy’s ultra-consistent five-year-old gelding has been knocking loudly on the door all spring, racking up three consecutive, rock-solid runner-up finishes. He was only denied by a half-length at Southwell in late April, backed it up with a brilliant second at Kempton in May, and most recently put in a fantastic shift on turf at Nottingham just 12 days ago, where he was beaten by just over a length under a hefty 9st 9lb load. ​He clearly remains in the form of his life, and staying on a highly dangerous official handicap mark of 60 means he is beautifully weighted to finally exploit his current purple patch. ​The stable is signaling serious intent tomorrow by booking elite jockey Rossa Ryan to navigate the steering from stall 6. Hint Of The Jungle is an absolute speed merchant who loves to race prominently and dictate the tempo.

Currently one of the outsiders in this field, but he could outrun his odds. His back form suggests he's on a good mark, and he won here last May from one pound higher in the handicap. He will need to step up on recent efforts, but that's not out of the question.

Havanita was having her first run for over 200 days and, when looking like she was going for an effort, got squeezed out of things and weakened in the final stages three weeks ago. With that run under her belt and a visor introduced, better should be on the cards. Not the strongest of races and could spring a surprise.
