7/2
2014 Scottish National winner in his pomp, has also won over this C&D. Scored on penultimate run at Kelso, flopped there since. Question of which mood he shows up in.

12/1
Useful chaser at best and some promise in first hunter chase at Warwick in January, faller when seemingly going well enough since at Haydock since when falling six from home. More required.

Vasco Du Meeb,t39
Age: 9|  Weight: 12-3| J: Miss Josephine Banks(7)| T: M H Weston| OR:  129| BF| CD
11/4
Won this last year in a canter, unsighted under rules since, enjoyed a pipe-opener in a point-to-point last month and should now be primed for another bold bid under owner/rider.

25/1
Into the veteran stage, no problem with this trip (stays much further) and ground ideal, though hasn't really threatened to make his mark in hunter chase sphere so far.

Horse silk
Repeat Business32
Age: 10|  Weight: 11-11| J: Mr Nick Williams| T: J W Tudor| OR:  105| CD
11/1
Winner of a C&D novice hunter last April, fit from point-to-point exploits now and should give a decent account.
6
Horse silk
Battle Dustp15
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-9| J: Alex Edwards| T: P Rowley| OR:  107| BF| CD
3/1
Did well over the winter in point-to-point since joining this yard and nothing wrong with runner-up finish in Catterick novices' hunter chase earlier this month. Respected.

Age: 13|  Weight: 11-9| J: Miss Lucy Turner(7)| T: P P Turner| OR:  102| D
20/1
No match for Vasco Du Mee in this last year (third) and overall profile in hunter chases suggests place money might be the height of expectations again.
9
Horse silk
Tinkers Hill Tommyt286
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-9| J: Mr James King| T: Mrs Bridget Lewis| OR:  111| D
9/2
Five-time point-to-point winner and finished last season in good form in that sphere, as well as here when runner-up in Champion Novice Hunter at Stratford in June. Returns from a break and dangerous to ignore.

Forecasts

Vasco Du Mee (11/4), Battle Dust (3/1), Al Co (7/2), Tinkers Hill Tommy (9/2), Repeat Business (11/1), Fourovakind (12/1), Charlie Breekie (14/1), Richmond (20/1), Lord Heathfield (25/1)

17:05 Chepstow - 22 March 2018 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

VASCO DU MEE should have a solid claim of landing this race for the second year running having enjoyed a spin in a point-to-point recently. He came home under this rider in a common canter last year, and is the one to beat again. Tinkers Hill Tommy could be chief danger, having ended last season as an improver in this sphere, while Al Co – if in the mood – and Repeat Business are others that merit consideration.
  1. Vasco Du Mee
  2. Tinkers Hill Tommy
  3. Repeat Business
