Chepstow Race 1 - Tiptop Thunder Throne / EBF Junior 'National Hunt' Hurdle (GBB Race)
PLANTERS PUNCH (1) looks a level above these. Showed a good attitude to win on debut at Hereford in November then made major progress defying a penalty to win a 2100m hurdle at Bangor eleven days ago. Talented amateur Daniel Williams takes off weight to help with the double penalty. Looks hard to oppose here. GUTS AND GLORY (6) posted back-to-back seconds. Could be up to winning at this level. EVENING TESS (5) will step forward from her debut fifth tackling a 3200m hurdle at this track sixteen days ago. LONGMOOR (2) also made a promising introduction last month. LOOK DON'T STARE (3) rates best of the rest.

Having third race start. Showed plenty of promise winning at debut as favourite; came from midfield and won by 0.8 len Hereford on November 3 over 3200m defeating Aqua Bleu carrying 70kg at $3.30 in a hurdle. Returned from break to post a big 15 len win. Bangor-On-Dee on March 31 over 3300m defeating Crack Ops carrying 73kg at $2.60 in a hurdle. Fitter and expected to go on with it.

Is second-up today and making a debut in a jumps race. Last start finished ninth of 12 starters at Wincanton on March 5 over 3000m, 13 len behind Nevada Samba with 66kg at $201. Might find this a bit tough.

Having third race start. At debut, fell at Newbury on February 27 over 3300m. Second-up didn't finish the race at Bangor-On-Dee on March 31 over 3300m. Risky conveyance.

Impressive in recent runs. Last outing finished second in a small field at Market Rasen on March 15 over 3300m, 18 len behind Roccontier carrying 66.5kg at $4.20. Start before finished second of 7 runners at Wetherby on February 26 over 3200m, on slow going 2.75 len behind Madeforlovingyou with 70kg at $8.50. Found her best form now. Very hard to beat this time.

Comes off a 59 day let-up. Last start pulled up at Hereford on February 11 over 3200m. Run before held ground to the line finished second of 11 starters at Ludlow on December 17 over 3200m, 10 len behind Stroke Play with 70kg at $8. Worth another chance and cannot be discounted lightly.
