          Verdict

          A tricky opener at Chepstow can go to Mr Dip, who has fewer questions to answer than Bojangles and Danebank on the predicted ground and gets the slenderest of votes of confidence. A handful of the rest are worth noting in running as they prepare for the up-and-coming jumps season. Especially the likes of Marrel and Greyfield, as they appear to have lost a little speed for this game and may be worth saving for another day. By way of contrast, Lunar Lord, who could also find himself over timber again shortly, but has fared well on the level in the last few weeks. He has place claims once more in this company. Bojangles and Danebank are closely matched on recent form and are entitled to respect at this level. However, both would appreciate a little more ease in the ground and have their work cut out on these terms today. Which brings us back to Mr Dip, who is still lightly raced and has more scope for improvement than many over a trip that obviously suits. The Tony Carroll-trained gelding did well behind an obviously well handicapped rival the last time he raced at this course and, as his yard have been extremely profitable to follow on their visits to this track over the last five years, Mr Dip is the first one to look at for us when the betting market starts to warm up.
