9/1
Point-to-point winner on heavy ground in February and ran well on rules debut when third at Limerick (soft) in a 2m3f maiden hurdle in April. Debuts for a new yard today.

5/2
Bumper winner and ran well to finish runner-up behind a useful looking rival at Wincanton (good) in October. Followed that up with a sound effort over 2m7f at Bangor (soft) and looks one to note in this contest.
4
Horse silk
10/1
Winner of both point-to-point starts but disappointing under rules and well held in novice hurdles the last twice. More needed today.

Age: 5|  Weight: 10-12| J: Ned Curtis| T: M Bradstock
50/1
Fair effort in a Warwick (good-to-soft) bumper on debut but well beaten in three starts since including at Ludlow (2m5f, good) last time out.

Horse silk
16/1
Placed in two point-to-points from three starts in Ireland and purchased for £27,000 at the sales last month. Trip should prove no problem and he is worth a check in the market on rules debut.
8
Horse silk
28/1
Placed twice in point-to-points and a fair debut when finishing 28L eighth at Lingfield (soft) over an extended 2m3f on debut for this yard last month. Needs to improve on that to figure today however.

Winner of two point-to-points in 2016 but disappointing since switching to rules racing and pulled over fences on his last three outings.

Horse silk
6/1
Point-to-point winner at Largy (yielding) in April last year and put in his best effort in three rules outings for this yard when upped in trip to finish runner-up on soft ground over 2m7f at Bangor last time out. Likely to run well again today.
13
Horse silk
10/11
Justified favouritism when winning a Warwick (good-to-soft) bumper on debut in May and ran well to finish runner-up to the useful looking White Moon at Exeter (soft) on hurdling debut last month. One for the shortlist today.

An early casualty when making her rules debut at Ludlow in February and pulled up on her only subsequent outing at Fontwell two months later. Making her seasonal debut today.

Forecasts

Rhaegar (10/11), Benechenko (5/2), Natter Jack Croak (6/1), Babytaggle (9/1), Bill And Barn (10/1), Equus Flight (16/1), I Am Sam (28/1), Bloody Nose (50/1), In The Tub (150/1), Day In Paradise (200/1)

12:30 Chepstow - 9 December 2017 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

NATTER JACK CROAK appeared to appreciate the step up in trip when finishing runner-up last time and he is taken to open his account under rules in this opening maiden hurdle. Benechenko has looked as if stamina would be his forte in six outings to date and as at Bangor last time out he can chase home the selection while Babytaggle can claim third on his debut for this yard with Rhaegar another worthy of consideration.
  1. Natter Jack Croak
  2. Benechenko
  3. Babytaggle
