40/1
Runner-up in Limerick claiming hurdle on final start for Joseph O'Brien last May. Only seen out twice for new stable since, and was below form on each occasion. Others make more appeal.

13/2
Much improved to make a winning handicap debut over C&D in January. Hasn't quite matched that subsequently, but has had excuses and return to this track could help.

13/2
Ex-French bumper winner who has showed fair form over hurdles so far. Lightly raced for Dan Skelton and has been allotted a reasonable mark, so looks a player with tongue tie refitted.

Fair in bumpers and similar form over hurdles, creditable fourth on both handicap outings. Needs to improve if he's to defy this mark, though.

10/3
Dual bumper winner who has hit the frame on each hurdling outing so far, fourth in handicap at Ludlow 3 weeks ago. Longer trip could bring more out of him.

Fair maiden chaser in France who ran best race for present yard when shedding maiden tag over hurdles at Fontwell (19.2f) in February. Has been pulled up since, however.

6/1
Lightly-raced hurdler who upped his game to get the better of a progressive rival at Warwick 11 days ago. Type to do better still, and longer trip shouldn't be an issue, so he makes plenty of appeal.

Proved competitive from slightly higher marks last spring when trained by Johnny Farrelly. Not much encouragement either start this year.

Has been more hit than miss since scoring over C&D in November, again struggling a long way out when pulled up at Hereford last time. Others make more appeal.

14/1
Irish point winner who arrives on the back of 3 quiet runs over hurdles. No surprise if he returns from a break/after wind op with a much-improved showing, so he's one to note.

Modest hurdler who appears to have lost his form of late, so hard to make a strong case for despite a handy mark.

Lightly-raced maiden who hasn't offered a great deal but could find some improvement for a longer trip/switch to handicaps. Worth monitoring in the betting.

Showed the benefit of a wind operation/first-time tongue tie when scoring on handicap debut last spring but he hasn't reproduced that in 4 runs this term. Plenty to prove.

16:35 Chepstow - 24 March 2022 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

STANLEY PINCOMBE overhauled a thriving opponent in a good time at Warwick and is worth a chance to follow up 11 days on. Handicap debutants Heltenham and Iceburgh Bay deserve respect and a bigger effort from Moveit Like Minnie would come as no surprise.
