£12,000 3-y-o, Black Sam Bellamy gelding who looked a good prospect when making a winning debut in a C&D bumper (good to soft) 11 weeks ago, value for extra in coming from the back of the field. Leading claims under a penalty.

Timeform
Beaten 24 lengths when fourth in a 7-runner Carlisle bumper (17f) on debut but better was clearly expected (sent off at 5/2) and did sustain a challenge until final 1f, so improvement should be forthcoming.

Blue Bresil gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler/top-class chaser Any Second Now, stays 4¼m, and fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Roxboro Road, stays 3m. Pulled up sole start in points but could have a say on Rules debut.

£65,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including useful chaser Annie Angel and bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Myztique, stayed 2¾m. Market should prove informative.

Frammassone gelding. Brother to modest hurdler/fairly useful chaser Cedar Hill. Dam (h73) ran twice over hurdles. Hooded, and his trainer’s newcomers command respect.

€150,000 3-y-o, No Risk At All gelding who failed to meet expectations when eighth of 12 in bumper (5/1) at this C&D (good to soft) in October, perhaps needing the run more than anticipated. No surprise should he leave that effort behind.

Telescope gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including Goldgig and fairly useful hurdler Santera. Dam unraced. Pulled up sole start in points (Apr 2022). Wears hood.

Champs Elysees gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner/fair hurdler Mabela, stayed 3m. Dam (c118/h107) 2m/17f hurdle/chase winner, also smart 10.5f-1½m winner on Flat. Well held only start in Irish points (May 2022).

Leading Light gelding who showed a bit when mid-field in a Worcester bumper (16f, good to soft) 19 months ago. Probably best watched returning from such an absence.

Won sole start in Irish points and while he didn't come up to expectations when fifth in a C&D bumper over 3 months ago (sent off 3/1), he might well come on for that. Tongue tie applied.

Forecasts

Spirits Bay (5/2), Royal Defender (5/2), Duc Du Rene (4/1), Delgany Bobby Blue (13/2), Hurricane Danny (15/2), Beachcomber (14/1), Ebony Spirit (22/1), Yorgunnabealady (33/1), Parsons Stone (66/1), Passing Kate (80/1), Sweet Saffron (150/1), Look Out To Sea (150/1), My Dream (200/1), Minella Magical (200/1)

16:40 Chepstow - 3 February 2023 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

The market will no doubt prove informative with regards to the newcomers but SPIRITS BAY looked a good prospect when comfortably landing a C&D bumper 11 weeks ago (value for extra having come from the back of the field). With further improvement not out of the equation, Nigel Twiston-Davies' charge is fancied to follow up. Beachcomber, Duc du Rene and Hurricane Danny are just a handful of potential dangers.
