Chepstow Race 4 - Angela Nettlefold Memorial 'National Hunt' Maiden Hurdle (Gbb Race) (Div 1)
SWINGIN SAFARI (10) was a talented jumpers flat performer last season including finishing fourth in the G2 jumpers flat contest at Aintree during April. Well schooled and could be set to get off the mark. DOUBLE MEASURE (3) opened his account in impressive fashion at Uttoxeter eight months ago. Provides hurdle debut holding obvious claims. CAME FROM NOWHERE (2) produced two good third place finishes attempting maiden hurdles last season. Interesting. THE BLUE ROOM (11) eventually won a jumpers flat at Ffos Las when last seen. Stable is in form delivering some impressive novice hurdle winners. Warrants strong consideration.

Raced two times to date. When unwanted in the market at debut, made ground from midfield; finished fourth in a small field at Newton Abbot on September 9 over 3400m, 11 len behind Axel Bleue with 66.5kg at $41. Last start finished fifth of 7 starters at Warwick on October 1 over 3200m, 21 len behind Bathara with 67kg at $51. This looks a stern test.
