Alright Dai

Win
40
A valuable prize for the grade, and one who takes the eye is the Mulholland-trained Alright Dai. He scored on his chasing debut over CD before his jumping let him down over a much longer trip at Sedgefield just over two weeks ago. Back to the scene of his chasing win, he sets the standard on adjusted RPRs, and with the ground likely to ride a bit softer than the official description, he has conditions to suit. The stable can ready one for a target, and this looks to have been the target. At around 7/1, he looks a solid each-way bet.

All five of these have some sort of question to answer, but the one who has more excuses than most is Koapey. He had his third wind op at the beginning of last month and has been given time to get over it. He may also have been waiting for better ground, which he will get today. Prior to his last run at Newbury, where he was pulled up, he had not finished out of the first two in five runs. He had excuses for Newbury, as he needed physio post-race. Greatrex reported that he expected him to be rated well above his rating of 119, and he has now been dropped to 117. He was always expected to make a better chaser, so if his latest wind op does the trick, he has been found an ideal opportunity to open his chasing account. At around 2/1, he rates the Nap of the day.

This looks to concern the 2 at the head of the market with preference for the Snowden-trained Our Guide. He stayed on well to lead inside the final furlong at Galway last October. The 3rd that day has really franked the form, although the rest of the field have done nothing. That said, the stable have a very good record at Wetherby with 2 wins (5 placed) from 7 this season and 3-6 and 4-8 in the previous two seasons. He is their only runner anywhere today. He won on yielding ground and his action suggests he should be fine on slightly better ground today. At around 11/8, he rates the value bet.

Dan Skelton only sends two horses to his local track Warwick, and the one to take the eye is Get Up Mush. He runs in the Class 2 Challenger Staying Series Final for a useful £20k pot. He only qualified for this race last time out, 21 days ago, and has since been dropped a further 5 lb and looks dangerously well handicapped on his best form, including a win here in September 2024. He has raced four times since then and is 8 lb below that winning mark. Skelton is a master at plotting out a long-term plan, and this looks exactly that. At around 11/4, he rates the Nap of the day to return to winning ways.

Unless the Skelton filly is backed, this looks to lie between the two at the head of the market. Just A Glance won nicely at Hereford despite a mistake at the last and eventually pulled clear. She has a penalty to carry, but her action suggests she should be fine on this better ground today. My only doubt is that Chepstow is a very different track to Hereford, and I usually prefer a horse with course form. But, looking at the opposition, she still looks the one to be on.

I can see Big John Wayne running well, as he should be able to dictate the pace and is suited by the DG. However, I am not convinced by the stable form at the moment, with only 1-27 in the past 14 days. For that reason, I have to oppose him. Conversely, the Harry Derham stable is in good form, with 5-16 in the past two weeks, and his jockey, Paul O’Brien, is also in top form. He is suited by testing ground, which he will get today, and is well suited by the trip. At around 7/4, he looks the value bet.

A modest Mares' Maiden hurdle and it looks an ideal opportunity for the well thought-of Snowden runner Kernie d'Airy. She won a Mares' NHF race in France before being sold for £155,000. She ran in a Listed NHF at Newbury behind the very useful Sober Glory on soft ground, after which her trainer said it was a mistake to run her, as it can take French imports some time to acclimatise. She now comes here off a 410-day break and looks to have been found an ideal opportunity to break her duck in Britain. Her action suggests she will be better suited by today’s decent ground, and she is strongly fancied to land this before going on to better things. She has been well supported in the market and is rated the Nap of the day.

Lelant probably found the testing ground against him in his hat-trick bid last time out and has now had three months off to miss the worst of the winter ground. He returns to the scene of his win over CD three runs back, and Sean Bowen retains the ride. Back on today’s sounder surface and over CD, he has conditions to suit. The stable's runners have been running well in the past week, and with plenty of pace on, he should be able to sit off the pace before being produced with a late run. While he is no world-beater, he should be up to getting his head back in front and looks the one to be on.

A very moderate event to start the day. Cushendun has already recorded an RPR that would normally win this. His best effort was over CD in December, just 1/2l behind useful Flat racer and 126-rated hurdler Tashkhan. He has since been well beaten in two races at Ayr, but a return to this track may help. With such a modest level of opposition, if he can run anywhere near his best then he should be up to winning this.

A chance is taken with Redeeming Love, who is making her handicap debut. She is wearing a tongue tie for the first time, and she is stepping up considerably in trip, which should suit her well judged on her pedigree. She made a noise last time out, which I guess is the reason for the tongue tie. The slightly easy ground should be fine, and at around 10/3 she rates a sporting Nap of the day.

This looks to rest between the 2 at the head of the market, with preference for the Nicholls-trained Falls Of Acharn. He does have a tendency to race too keenly, but in this small field and with Freddie Gingell back on board ??" who won on him at Musselburgh on his British debut ??" he has conditions in his favour. He gets a useful 10 lb from main rival Sinchi Roca, and he should be suited by the sharp track and quicker ground. He looks the one to be on.

He stays the trip well and acts on good ground though the ground may be a little softer than that but he has won on soft anyway. He should be able to sit just off the pace before being produced when his jockey sees fit. The stable have a really good record at the track with 3 from 5 runners in chases in the past 5 seasons. At around 2/1, he rates the value bet.

Sage Green fell on his chasing debut last time, and while Sanitiser comes here on a hat-trick, both wins came on soft ground and he faces very different conditions today.

While Caspari did show much improved form last time from his debut run, he still looks to have a lot to find here. The 2 at the head of the market look to have it between them, and both have questions to answer. Step Ahead looked to be the one to beat last over CD, but he stopped to nothing after straightening for home and nothing was reported after that. If he returns to his best, then he should go close. But with that disappointing finish last time still fresh in the mind, preference is for the Honeyball-trained Fountains Blenheim. He battled on well at Windsor after being outpaced and has plenty of stamina, but his tendency to hang has to be a worry. That said, he has won 2 of his 5 starts and looks suited by a sound surface. He has a 12 lb penalty to carry, but his jockey does take off a useful 7 lb and, at the odds, he has to be the value bet.

Myrighthandman won his PTP on good ground. Having been well beaten on soft ground on his Rules debut, he looks to be suited by this better ground, especially being out of a Presenting mare. He may be suited by further in time, but if he runs up to his best, he should be able to win this before going on to better things and rates the Nap of the day.

Plenty in with chances on the face of it, but this looks as if it could be a Skelton plot. She showed improved form to land a Class 2 Windsor Novice in mid-January before being unable to carry her penalty at Market Rasen last time. She looks held by a couple of these, but on handicap debut she does have a bit of a pull, and Harry has gone to Newbury for the mount. She has plenty of stamina in her pedigree, so should be suited by the step up in trip. Even at 9/2, she could be overpriced and rates a solid each-way bet with around five places available.

Only five runners, but all with something to answer. However, the Skelton-trained Joyeux Machin has more to recommend than the others. He is well handicapped on his best form, even for Skelton, since coming over from Ireland, and he has Harry Atkins taking off a useful 7 lb. His last two runs have been in Class 1 handicaps, and he drops to Class 3 today with only four rivals. He was going well and clear when falling two runs back, and if he reproduces his best then he could be very well in here. At 3/1, he could look very generous after the race.

A few of these have to prove themselves over this trip, especially when the ground may well be softer than described and/or 'dead.' The Ellis mare has won her last four hurdle races and is improving at a decent rate. She tends to travel well through her races, and she should be able to race off the pace before being delivered late. The stable is in good form, with three winners from their last six runners. With her proven stamina, she looks overpriced at around 14/1 and rates a sporting each-way Nap of the day.

Only five runners, but two can safely have a line put through them. The Nicholls runner is likely to go off favourite and the yard is 5-7 here in the past five seasons. However, the yard is not exactly banging in the winners, so he is short enough for me. Buddah Castle went into my notebook when scoring here over 2.5m back in December, despite almost throwing the race away by running very green. He then ran well below that form when fourth of eight seven weeks later at Newcastle, but that stiffer track may have stretched him. He is back to the scene of his win and drops back 3f in trip. Charlie Maggs takes over from the injured Brian Hughes and takes off a useful 3 lb, and his stable have an excellent record here this season with 9-20. He may not get his own way out in front, but as long as he doesn’t battle for the lead, he looks overpriced at around 7/2 and rates a sporting each-way bet to finish in the first two.

She was expected to go chasing this season, so I’m guessing she will look to take in this decent prize prior to switching codes.

I’m a big fan of Haiti Couleurs, but I can’t see him landing this today, though I can see him running into a place. The Jukebox Man is reported to have had a ‘minor setback’ according to Redknapp, though no details were disclosed; it has to be a doubt. I’m not convinced that an Arkle winner will go on to win the following year’s Gold Cup, so I can’t have Jango Baie. Gaelic Warrior is my fancy despite not being proven at the trip. They should go a decent pace, which should allow Townsend to get him settled. Mullins is convinced he will get the trip, so for me he has to be the Nap of the day.

A wide-open 23-runner handicap and plenty in with chances. I’m sticking with Jubilee Alpha, who has been in my notebook for some time since her hurdles debut. She has finished runner-up in three of her four runs this season. The drop back in trip with a good pace likely should suit her. She is only 2 lb off the top-rated on adjusted RPRs, and at around 25/1 she looks overpriced. She can give Paul Nicholls a much-needed boost at the Festival and rates as a sporting each-way bet.

Plenty can be given chances, but Minella Study went into my notebook after landing the Trial here in December. While it goes against the trends to come here after such a break, to me he looks the better of the British runners and has as much scope to improve as others. He has important CD form on the New Course and a prominent running style, which has been the way to go so far. The only slight worry is how soft the ground has become, but he did stay on well in his final run as a 2yo over 9f on soft ground, so the ground hopefully won’t be an issue. At around 13/2, he rates as a solid each-way bet.

Teahupoo sets the standard, and if running to his best should go close. But, as mentioned previously, the form of the yard is a worry. The one who will have conditions to suit is Impose Toi, who will be suited by the better ground. Hold-up tactics have not been the way to ride this week, but in this smaller field he should be able to deliver. At around 15/2, she looks a solid each-way bet.

This looks to lie between the 2 at the head of the market. Wodhooh sets the standard, but the form of the Elliott stable is a big worry: his last 32 runners failed to win. That leaves the Mullins mare Jade Du Grugy, who has been chasing this season. She ran well to be runner-up to Lossiemouth in the Mares last season, albeit beaten 7.5l. She should be able to dictate the pace in this small field, and the rain that has fallen this morning should help her. At around 9/4, she looks the value bet and rates the Nap of the Day.

Likely favourite Bambino Fever has obvious claims but makes no appeal at all at around 1/1. The one to take the eye is the Baily/Nicholls-trained White Noise at around 50/1. She has shown improved form in her four hurdle races this season and may have found the ground too testing last time when just touched off by Kingston Queen in a Class 1 at Warwick. She is third top on speed figures and has clocked almost identical figures in her last two races. She is proven on the likely better ground today and, with eight of the ten previous winners having won over 2m 2f, she ticks that box as well. The stable is in good form, so at around 50/1 she rates a sporting each-way bet.

A wide-open renewal and one that is best left to the Irish. Love Sign d’Aunou is the choice of Patrick Mullins and sets the standard on adjusted RPRs… just! He won his point on good to yielding, so hopefully the quicker ground won’t be an issue, and he was impressive to boot. At around 11/2, he looks a sporting each-way bet.

Majborough is the best horse in the race, but his jumping doesn’t always hold up and I can’t back him at odds-on, especially with the poor record of odds-on chances in recent years in this race. Second-favourite Il Etait Temps was disappointing last time at Ascot when well backed to beat Jonbon, but the yard were a bit out of sorts at the time and, clearly, he did not give his running. He acts well on today’s better ground, and if he can reproduce his best, then he is the value bet at around 10/3.

Not a favourite race of mine, but it often pays to rest proven cross-country performers. Likely favourite Favori De Champdou won over CD last time out, but the form of the Gordon Elliott stable is a worry to me. Stumptown has proven himself plenty at this track. While he comes here off a 150-day break, he won his last race in the Czech Republic after a 190-day break, so that should not be a concern. At around 4/1, he rates as the value bet at a track he loves.

A big field of novices to start the day, but a lot of dead wood in this. 19 of the last 21 winners came from the first four in the betting, so it may pay to focus on the top of the market. No Drama This End sets the standard on adjusted RPRs and is justifiably likely to go off favourite. All of his runs have been on softish ground, though he did score on better ground last time. However, faster ground in a much bigger field is a slight worry and makes his odds look unappealing. Henderson had a decent day yesterday with two winners, so is in reasonable form. Act Of Innocence acts on good ground and looks to stay the trip, which Nicky is confident of. He has some decent speed figures and, at around 10/1, rates a solid each-way bet to finish in the first four and rates a sporting Nap of the day.
