Chepstow Race 1 - Heckler & Koch - No Compromise Maiden Hurdle (Gbb Race) (Div 1)
GILLESPIE (3) caught the eye winning a jumpers flat at Ffos Las by 1.75L in December. Received wind surgery since and rates as a nice chance racing for the top trainer Paul Nicholls. Could prove the one to beat. ROCKING MAN (7) has not competed for nearly two years. Last seen finishing second in a jumpers flat (3200m) at Hereford. Stable know how to produce fit runners and looks dangerous against this field. CARLENRIG (2) was a comfortable winner on his only point to point start at Hexham securing a 15L victory. Joins the Dan Skelton team who are going well. Rates highly. MY OWN LOVELY LEE (6) finished third in his Irish point to point and joining a good yard could be interesting.
