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: It's official, Chepstow is a punter-friendly racecourse and we have the receipts. Over the past 5  years winning favourites at the course show 154-398 for 38.69% so +5% above the national average. Note, all 3 categories (age-groups) of winning favourites in handicaps produce a profit to level stakes and score well above the national average of 29%, something very unusual in a Racecourse Template! Best category for winning strike rate are 3yo winning favourites in non-handicaps who show 25-47 for 53% (-3.31). 

BY THE WAY: Of the 35 races ran this current year the favourites continue to win more than their share showing 15-35 for 43% (+0.11). The advice is to take a long look at the favourite before opposing.

TRAINERS: Leading trainer at the course Tony Carroll has a national average of just 9% whilst scoring 10% at Chepstow. He has 6 runners including SUB THIRTEEN 5.15, LA MER GRISE 5.50, NEPTUNE LEGEND 6.25, VERONA STAR 7.00, BOUJEE GOLD & ROYAL TOAST 7.35.

Second top trainer at the course is Rod Millman (12%) and he has a couple of interesting runners in BAMA LAMA 6.25 & MULLINS BEACH 8.10.

JOCKEYS: From our leader board only William Cox (5%) has rides at Chepstow on Friday. His 4 rides include CAPTAIN CESS 5.50, HOWZAK 6.25, PORTERINTHEJUNGLE 7.35 & ADRIAN 8.45

Luke Morris (9%) could be the jockey to follow, he has 5 rides including GLITTERATI 5.50, BANTRY 7.00, FACT OR FABLE 7.35, RINNOVATI 8.10 & WALTER HARTRIGHT 8.45

Jack Doughty (14%) has made a great start to his career since December 2013 and June saw him score 10-47 for 21% (+13.44). His 14% national average is quite something and he has 5 interesting rides again tomorrow including SUB THIRTEEN 5.15, BAMA LAMA 6.25, ROYAL TOAST 7.35, MULLINS BEACH 8.10 & LHEBAYEB 8.45, another winner beckons.

OWNERS:  The Cross Racing Club (10%) are the top owners at the course over the past 5 years albeit from a small sample, and they run the 5yo ROMANOVICH 7.00 who is 1 win from 4 at the course, trained by John O'Shea (8%) and ridden by William Carson. NON-RUNNER.
