Chepstow Race 8 - Dunraven Open Nh Flat Race (Gbb Race)
Market will prove highly informative in this closing event. UNCLE CC (12) is preferred bringing the benefit of previous track experience. Showed plenty of hope when a 6L winner in a point during March. Joining the the Joe Tizzard stable rates a smart prospect. MAGIMAX (6) could take something from his second placing attempting a point in April. Harry Cobden is a positive booking. Worth considering. DON'T PANIC (3) makes racecourse debut for the Paul Nicholls team. This first foal from useful national hunt mare Petticoat Tails is expected to know what is ahead. Other newcomers of note include MIRAGE D'AINAY (7) and SMOKE AND FIRE (10).
