Chepstow 1.05 Good Risk At All did not handle the stiff track and going last time out , but still ran well enough in a higher grade race ; looks to have plenty going for him back in these calmer waters. Veteran First Flow is an admiral sort but may have to give best to the younger legs this time. Advised bet Good Risk At All 2pt win @ 11’8

Kempton 1.20 Sir Gino goes first time up for top connections and owner and it would be no surprise should he be up to the task. The rest have little to recommend them if that French form is as decent as it looks

Chepstow 1.40 This looks a wide open contest & I would not be surprised by any type of result & its a race light non quality for a 0-145 , so a race to swerve for betting purposes

Kempton 1.55 A very small field for a decent enough prize and it looks a straight match between Nickle Back & Master Chewy , In can’t split them and its just a race to watch

Chepstow 2.10 Burdett Road is the best juvenile seen in this country so far and it would be a surprise should there be one to beat him of the UK runners. Harsh looks the only real danger but he looks more of a stayer on deep ground for me. A no bet race

Kempton 2.30 Boothill currently heads this market , but he has won the last two and is up a fair chunk in the weights as a result. Nube Negra has struggled of late and while he has come down plenty I am not sure how much he wants it these days. Editeur Du Gite went toe to toe with Jonbon last time out and his jumping was pretty good considering the company and he looks a bit overpriced on that run alone. Advised bet Editeur Du Gite 3/4 pt ew @ 11’2

Chepstow 2.50 Super Survivor is from an excellent staying family and could be one to go well for this good-class handicap from a lovely light weight (yet to finish out of the first 2 at Chepstow). Autonomous Cloud won with something left in the tank last time out , while Iron Bridge is capable of a lot better than a pulled up effort last time out , but would want the ground to be a lot softer. Advised bet Super Survivor 1pt ew @ 9’2 firms offering 6 places

Kempton 3.09 Tea Clipper is on a 12-race losing run that goes back over two years but he is threatening to regain the winning thread; clear second at Ascot (3m, good; behind a subsequent scorer) most recently; major chance back up just 1lb in this company. Tweed Skirt is a bit of an enigma , another wind op sounded a note of caution last time out , but the fences got in the way mid race last time out and she looks one to be wary of. Hidden Heroics comes into this with winning form , but that was against lesser competition. Advised bet Tea Clipper 1pt win @ 9’4
