THE action continues at Chepstow Racecourse this week with a competitive six-race card on the Flat on Thursday afternoon at the track. gets underway at 2.10 with a seven-runner handicap for apprentice jockeys in class six before the meeting comes to a close with an eight-runner handicap in class six at 5.
05 to bring the curtain down on the card. The opening contest on the card (2.10) sees seven horses head to the start for the six furlong handicap for runners aged four and upwards.
Hannah’s Return produced a career-best last time out when landing a Brighton handicap and is taken to follow up here for trainer Gary Brown. Of her rivals, course and distance scorer Bama Lama rates the main danger having proved ultra-consistent at this level. Race two on the card (2.
45) sees ten runners head to post for the restricted maiden fillies’ stakes in class five over six furlongs. There is a lot to like on paper for debutant Missile Mac from the George Boughey yard, a half-sister to several winners over five furlongs and six furlongs. Those with racecourse experience here don’t set a particularly high standard, so another newcomer in Sahara Dancer could be the one to take Boughey’s charge on.
Ten runners will tackle race three of the afternoon with a sharp five furlong nursery contest at 3.20 and there are a few in with a shout. Chief among them is Lady Luzon, second at Musselburgh a fortnight ago and is running here off the same mark so looks well-treated by the handicapper.
