Chepstow Race 2 - Wasdell Group Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race) (Div 2)
Division two of this novices hurdle has a similar open look and a market check could prove helpful. TASHAN (14) bids for a hat-trick after an impressive 7.5L success in a 3200m hurdle at Taunton last December. Displayed plenty of potential last year. Top selection. DOCTORS HILL (5) ran well during April when 2.75L second in a 3400m jumpers flat race at Bellewstown (Ireland). Open to plenty of progress for new connections now hurdling. Makes appeal. BLUE CARPET (3) represents a leading yard. Ended the last campaign with a fair fourth over 3200m on deep ground at Taunton eight months back. Improvement expected. KOP LAND (8) looks interesting.
