7:00 Chepstow Tips

Jack Channon has his string in terrific form, operating at a 38% strike rate over the past fortnight. His sole runner on the card is Chief Mankato, who makes a quick return following an excellent effort at Windsor after a break. He travelled into that race like the winner and probably hit the front a shade too soon. Fitness may have told in the final 100 yards, as he was caught in the shadow of the post by the well-backed favourite, Under The Twilight. This more downhill track should suit him well, and with a better-timed ride, he looks capable of landing the odds off the same mark. He’s due to go up 2lb, so this looks a good opportunity to strike.

Back from a 7-month break, and the 5-year-old ran a big race nine days ago, beaten just a neck, high RPR rating posted. Same mark for this handicap, and you could expect some improvement. She is a previous C/D winner.

MAE AMOR has won a race at 6f, third over 6f at Ripon on her latest outing last month. She is wearing a tongue tie for the first time today. Course, distance, and going should suit. Seems well treated and could well be able to win this race.

Improving type who is fairly unexposed over this trip. Steps up in class today, and if last time out's run is replicated, has a great chance.

Coming here in good form, especially after her impressive win at Goodwood last month. But operating off a higher mark this time out, with a 7lb claimer, she also has to contend with going up in class. However, momentum might still be with her.
