7:35 Chepstow Tips

Great Blasket looks the pick in this race, has lost his way of late, but this horse has won over course and distance and remains with a chance, given this horse has raced at the higher end of 70s/early 80s in the handicap. Great chance.

Her recent effort at Salisbury 12 days ago saw her finish a respectable fourth of 13. She showed plenty of early speed on good ground that day before just getting out-stayed late over a mile. That outing should have stripped away any remaining fitness rust. A massive positive for tomorrow's race is her current handicap rating. Sitting on an official mark of 65, she is now just 1 lb above her last winning mark at Chepstow, meaning she is effectively back down to a completely lethal weight on this course. The yard has booked William Cox to take the steering from the inside rail in stall 1. On a sound, quick summer turf surface that completely suits her action, Spirit Of The Bay meets Class 5 company on incredibly favorable terms. She looks like a major bounce-back candidate and represents massive each-way value at a highly backable 13/2.
