Chepstow Race 1 - Racing To School Reaches 25 Years Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)
TOBYSHILL (5) made a promising start to his rules career and managed to take a step forward on stable debut when third at Market Rasen adopting a first time tongue strap a fortnight ago. Finds a good opportunity and rates highly. COUNTRY PARK (1) brings plenty of experience and looked the one to beat at Sedgefield before falling three hurdles from the finish. Likely to take some beating. SEVEN KITES (7) made the perfect start with a 2L win in a Larkhill point to point last month. Bought back at the sales soon after and warrants a market check. FAIRYE FORTH (2) looks to have a profile that will do well in the future. Best watched.

Third race start today. At debut, made some head-way from midfield; finished seventh of 14 starters at Southwell on February 18 over 4090m, on slow going 31 len behind Blue Run with 72.5kg at $7.50.

Second-up finished third of 8 runners at Market Rasen on March 15 over 4100m, 1.5 len behind The Dog Thief carrying 73kg at $4.30. Racing well. Best form over the jumps stacks up well.

Returning from a spell making his jumps debut. He ended last campaign with finished 11th of 12 starters at Wolverhampton on December 15 over 2450m, 61 len behind Siouxfonic with 60.5kg at $251 and before that finished sixth of 9 runners at Huntingdon on November 22 over 3200m, 18 len behind Westbrooke Boy carrying 71kg at $12. Prefer to see at first outing over the obstacles.

Freshened since an encouraging debut as favourite; won by 2 len Wiltshire P2p on March 1 over 4800m defeating Roxhill carrying 70kg in a jumps. Improvement likely on on first race start. Worth including in the multiples.
