CHEPSTOW TEMPLATES - FREE OF CHARGE

CHEPSTOW CONFIGURATION: Left handed, undulating. Oval-shaped track, about two miles in extent, with a run-in of 5 furlongs. All races at up to a mile are run on the straight course. While not an out-and-out galloping course, owing to the pronounced undulations, the track puts the emphasis on stamina almost regardless of ground.

FAVOURITES: Winning Favourites at Chepstow over the past 5 years show 139-363 for 38.29% and a level stake profit of +15.31 to SP so around +5% above the national average. All categories produce decent figures albeit from a small sample, though best category are 3yo winning favourites in non-handicaps show 23-43 for 53% (-2.58).

TRAINERS: John O'Shea (9%) has 6 runners here tomorrow but with such a low strike rate it is hard to enthuse. He has a couple of interest racing in the 8.10 and could win that particular race given the insightful jockey bookings.

NATIONAL AVERAGES EXPLAINED

TRAINER 14-DAY FORM: There are 3 trainers with good 14-day form including leading trainer at the course Tony Carroll who shows 8-41 for 20% which is measured against his national average of 9%. Newland & Insole (12%) show 5-19 for 26% and Greenall & Guierriero (18%) score 5-17 for 29%.

JOCKEYS: Rossa Ryan (16%) has 6 rides including ROSE FANDANGO 5.40, BANTRY 6.10, SONIC SI 6.40, SOME NIGHTMARE 7.40, ROMANOVICH 8,10 & LOUISIANA BAY 8.40. Once again he is in great form scoring 10-50 for 20% (+9.89) over the past 14 days. Stop at a winner?

Tom Marquand (15%) rides 21% at the course and has 4 rides, they include THOUGHTFUL GIFT 5.10, BANTZ 6.40, RHUBARB 7.10 & THE PUG 8.40.

Hollie Doyle (15%) is in the doldrums. She shows 30 rides since a win over the past 9 days. Her last winner was on a 9yo scoring at Newmarket in a Group 2 after a most brilliant ride! She has 3 rides tomorrow including VINGEGAARD 6.40, CONNIE'S ROSE 7.40 & MARCHETTI 8.10. From now on her rides should be filtered and processed, we doubt she will reach 0-40. She scores 25% at Chepstow so a massive +10% above her national average!

OWNERS: The Cross Racing Club (10%) are the top owners at Chepstow and they have 2 runners in the penultimate race including ROMANOVICH & STELLA HOGAN 8.10. Trained by John O'Shea the former is to be ridden by Rossa Ryan whilst the latter by apprentice Sean D Bowen who claims 5lbs. Romanovich won this race last year on good to soft ground and gets the same conditions today.

RED FLAG: The 6.40 races is a Maiden Race for juveniles and we flag the rival trainers with their wins to runners and strike rate for 2024 so far. As always these figures will surprise: BANTZ (William Haggas 0-3 for 0%), CAYMAN TAI (R Hannon 3-13 for 23%), DANDY G BOY (Newland & Insole 1-1 for 100%), VINGEGAARD (A Watson 0-5 for 0%), SONIC SI (D Loughane 1-12 for 13%), CHALENA (D Evans 1-19 for 5%) & BORO QUEEN (D Evans 1-19 for 5%). Bantz and Cayman Tai are two likely types on paper and the market will tell us more. That said, William Haggas (22%) scores 23% at Chepstow but Richard Hannon (11%) registers a miserable 4-81 for just 5% at the course and a massive -59.00 to level stakes! 

Trainer win first start 2yo past year
W Haggas: 8-59 for 14%	
R Hannon: 6-86 for  7%	
A Watson: 6-41 for 15%	

William Haggas is yet to have a first start 2yo winner at Chepstow whilst Richard Hannon has scored 1 from 11, but Archie Watson is 2-4 for 50% (+19.50) with first start 2yos at Chepstow and 3-4 for 75% placed (+25.98). Another stand-out figure is that Watson shows 6-23 for 26% (+15.46) with juveniles at Chepstow over the past 5 years!
