2.40 Chepstow – Hat-trick-seeking Punchbowl Flyer tops five runners
Punchbowl Flyer bids for a hat-trick in a sure to be informative Trade Centre Wales Apprentice Handicap at Chepstow.
John O’Shea’s nine-year-old claimed a 10th career victory when landing a Ffos Las handicap by a short head 23 days ago and rates an obvious candidate under Alexandra Egan.
Savannah Smiles has won over this course and distance and arrives on the back of a success at Lingfield last month. Up 4lbs, she could have more to offer having improved since undergoing wind surgery.
Dragon God is yet to win in 10 starts but ran a fine race when runner-up over this track and trip on his last start so must be considered despite a 1lb rise. Myla Coppins’ 5lbs claim could come in useful aboard this horse, who represents a fine trainer in Tony Carroll. River Edge ran with credit when third off the back of a long break over this course and distance the last day and may find a bit more this time around.
6.27 Worcester – In-form Knightsbridge & Huckleberry Sting face off
The in-form Knightsbridge and Huckleberry Sting face off in a trappy renewal of this CopyBet Pay First Past The Post Handicap Chase at Worcester.
Jonjo and AJ O’Neil saddle Knightsbridge, who has thrived since tackling fences winning his last two starts going away. The handicapper has not missed him, but he is fancied to defy a 7lbs penalty with the step up in trip holding no fears.
Huckleberry Sting looks the main challenger – having won two of his four chase starts including when winning with a bit in hand at Market Rasen last time. He is expected to carry a 7lbs penalty soon so could be well in as he drops slightly in trip.
Carpe Diem and I’m A Starman both finished second on their last outings and complete the shortlist.
3.15 Chepstow – Amber Ocean looks to build on promising debut
An open feel to this EBF Trade Centre Restricted Novice Stakes where Amber Ocean headlines a field of nine runners.
The Newland and Insole-trained runner made an encouraging debut when runner-up at Wolverhampton and with that form having been franked since, he sets the standard under Rossa Ryan – who arrives in top form himself.
Chilli failed to build on her first start when beaten favourite second time at Newbury and her trainer Eve Johnson Houghton reaches for the hood.
Norham is an interesting newcomer for the Adam Kirby yard, while Jamie Osborne’s Blondie Larry has shown plenty in his two starts and looks an each-way option. Secret Rival flies the flag for notable owners TBT Racing, while Percy Shaw could improve once again for the Charlie Hills and Jason Watson combination.
