Chepstow Race 2 - Dunraven Windows / Ebf 'National Hunt' Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
CARISMATIC SOLDIER (4) maintains a promising profile following a pair of runner-up efforts including on seasonal return beaten 3.25L in a 3200m heavy ground novices hurdle at Leicester. Top selection. NOWMELAD (1) scored by 12L attempting a 3200m novices hurdle during November at Hereford. Rates highly. BOSTON BOY (2) ran out in the closing stages at Windsor last month. Shortlist to make amends. CORNISH COMEDY (5) rates next best. Something for the Multiples: MAGNA VICTOR (8)

Raced twice to date. At debut, finished sixth of 12 runners at this track 4-5yo HUNT FLAT (C5) on October 29 over 3200m, on slow going 31 len behind Sober Glory with 68kg at $9.50. Last start finished fifth of 11 starters at Windsor 3yo+ MHDLE (C4) on December 15 over 3200m, 36 len behind Starcrossed Lover with 71.5kg at $23. This looks a bridge too far.

Racing second-up. Was promising at debut finished second of 7 runners at Huntingdon 4-6yo HUNT FLAT (C5) on March 3 over 3200m, on slow going 6 len behind Ma Shantou with 72kg at $5. Returned from break finished second in a small field at Leicester 4yo+ WFA HDLE (C3) on December 5 over 3110m, on heavy track; 3.5 len behind Authodidacte with 70kg at $1.80. Can improve on first up performance. Can find winning form this time.

Was at very long odds at debut, finished ninth of 13 runners at this track 4yo+ MHDLE (C4) on November 22 over 3900m, 26 len behind The Bluesman with 71kg at $151. Should be improved but place prospects appear best.

Having second run back today. Fresh up after 11 months finished third of 10 runners at Hereford 4yo+ WFA HDLE (C4) on December 11 over 3950m, 23 len behind Secret Des Dieux with 70kg at $101. Previously second-up finished 12th of 14 runners at Lingfield All Weather 4-5yo HUNT FLAT (C5) on December 11 2023 over 3200m, 97 len behind My Louise carrying 69.5kg at $4.50. Doesn't look to pose much of a threat in this.

Raced two times to date. At very long odds at debut, fell at Hereford 4yo+ WFA HDLE (C4) on November 27 over 3250m. Second-up finished sixth of 13 runners at Southwell 4yo+ MHDLE (C4) on December 16 over 3180m, 18 len behind Land Of Moon carrying 71.5kg at $67. Progressing well this campaign. Worth including.
