Fair chaser for Dr Richard Newland when last seen in 2019 but watching brief the percentage call back hurdling for new stable after such a long time off the track.

Some respectable efforts on the Flat last summer. Back hurdling for the first time since 2019 here and remains 4 lb above his last winning mark. Has had wind surgery.

Winner on the level in France. In the frame in novice hurdles last summer and in top hands so has the potential for better now handicapping after 8 months off (had wind surgery).

Showed fair form when third in a Plumpton novice hurdle in January 2019 but disappointing in 3 handicaps since, leaving him with something to prove. Has tongue strap added.

Mixed record since joining this yard and ran poorly back hurdling last month. Mark on the slide but need to see more.

Isn't the most straightforward but he was placed in juvenile hurdles early last season. Very stiff task in Cheltenham Grade 2 when last seen in November and more chance now handicapping after break.

Fair Flat winner. Well held in maiden/novice hurdles at Ffos Las but handicaps could see him in a better light.

Just modest form in Irish bumpers. Unable to get competitive in 3 hurdles for this yard but appeals as one who may do better in handicaps.

Point winner who, having disappointed over fences, benefited from a return to hurdling when scoring cosily in a handicap at Market Rasen in September. Fair third at Exeter 12 days later. Off since.

Forecasts

Inn The Bull (11/8), Light In The Sky (4/1), Cawthorne (15/2), Ascot Day (9/1), Billy The Squid (10/1), First Quest (12/1), Thirtyfourstitches (14/1), Coastal Drift (28/1), Nikki Steel (33/1), Borak (40/1), Carnage (50/1)

18:35 Chepstow - 23 April 2021 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

INN THE BULL won comfortably enough at Huntingdon and is selected to make light of a penalty. Strong market support for the Paul Nicholls handicap newcomer Light In The Sky would make him a major threat. Billy The Squid has his quirks but should be up to making an impact from this sort of mark and he's also on the shortlist.

  1. INN THE BULL (GER)
  2. LIGHT IN THE SKY (FR)
  3. BILLY THE SQUID (IRE)
