In depth
Verdict
This is not the best of races by Chepstow standards and should not take a great deal of winning. On official BHB ratings Rod Millman's Daneswood has to be respected but, having been beaten a distance last time, cannot be trusted implicitly. Milton Bradley's Omey Strand, Pontefract winner Likely Lady and Fred's Dream are some of those with claims but in all reality there are better betting opportunities elsewhere on the card.
