Chepstow Race 3 - Dragonbet Backing Welsh Racing Mdn Hurdle (Gbb Race)
NIMBA (7) First run back after a 30 week break. Good effort to place 2nd beaten by 6L last time at Fontwell. Jockey Sean Bowen consistently rides well for this yard. Should go close. STICK TO THE BOARD (9) First up from a 28 week break. Flew home to win last start at this track and fitter for debut run. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Key player. GREAT DANCE (13) First up today. Did well when 2nd last start in a hurdle at Warwick and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Definite claims. ORCHARD COUNTY (11) Nigel Davies & Willy Twiston Davies trained 4yo by Poet's Word on debut. Great to see Toby Mccain Mitchell taking the ride. Respect the betting.
