8:10 Chepstow Tips

Fishermans Cottage is in good form with a top 3 finish in 5 of the last 6 races. In this field I give Fishermans Cottage a good chance to grab the win.

Only having a third run on turf, did run well at Bath last time out, and if building on that run, could well add to the Newcastle win. And for a six-year-old, might have room to improve, having only run six times to date.

Three underwhelming starts for Charlie Johnston before moving to Tony Carroll. Has had two starts for new connections, both over 6f and both with 7lb claimer Matthew Lloyd Slater on board. Has shown speed and shown better form, looking as though a try at the minimum 5f is well worth a go. This is bottom drawer handicapping, and off a lowly mark of 42 (on account of 7lb), she could well make her mark tell.

Backing Glamorous Jewel, the lightly raced 3-year-old Ardad filly trained by Christopher Mason, in tonight’s Bath Racecourse Thanks NetBet Classified Stakes over 5f 16y at Chepstow. While she only managed a fifth of eight last time out on 21 May, that performance has since been frankly boosted??'Art Of Fox, who finished just ahead of her that day, followed up with a win on his next outing, confirming the strength of the form. Despite the modest final placing, Glamorous Jewel showed pace and was only beaten around seven lengths??'an effort that looks much more creditable now. Rated around 46 and stepping back down in class, she’s stoutly held and ready to capitalise with the confidence from that outing. With a small field of 10 runners, a good draw, and the form line now strengthened, she presents strong each-way value at likely odds of 30/1??'40/1.

Bluesy Moon has been continuously overlooked in the market - finishing 4th (beaten 2 lengths), 2nd, and 3rd in 3 of his last 4 runs. All at odds of 20/1, 12/1, and 66/1. This isn't the strongest of races and could yet again return a big each way price.
