9/2
Lightly-raced since being gelded in November 2018 and finished a well beaten 11th in a 5f handicap at Haydock (good) on seasonal debut last month. Races off a mark 1lb lower than when winning over this trip at Chester (soft) as a two-year-old.

4/1
Victorious over this trip on the AW at Kempton in April last year and has registered some decent efforts in defeat since. Beaten 4¼L when meeting trouble in running at Newcastle last time out and is worth a check in the market in this contest.

8/1
Struggled in both starts this campaign including when 16L last of ten over this distance on the AW at Wolverhampton last week. Others hold more obvious claims on this occasion.

3/1
Making his seasonal debut when finishing sixth over this trip at Kempton at the start of last month. Has won off a 1lb higher mark in the past and market support would be notable on his return to turf.

9/2
Fair eighth on debut for this yard at Beverley (5f, good) just under a month ago and improved on that when beaten 3L into fourth at Doncaster (5f, good-to-firm) last time out. One to note in this event.

11/2
Has shown decent form on both starts this campaign most recently when 2½L fifth over this distance at Newmarket (good-to-firm) just under a fortnight ago. Notable runner having won off a 1lb higher mark in the past.

Placed on three of his four starts since winning over this C&D on good ground in August last year. Making his seasonal debut here and is worth a check in the market racing off a mark 4lb higher than when winning that day.

17:30 Chepstow - 9 July 2020 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

COWBOY SOLDIER caught the eye when meeting trouble in running on the AW last time out and dropping markedly in grade he can register a success in this small field sprint handicap. The selection can see off top weight Dave Dexter who was a winner off a higher mark at two and is likely to have improved for last months seasonal reappearance while third place can go to Chitra, another who has won off a higher mark in the past.
  1. Cowboy Soldier
  2. Dave Dexter
  3. Chitra
