Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Ramblingamblinman is the only runner in this 15-strong Chepstow contest to carry a rating from us, and a figure of 89 sets a benchmark that none of his rivals can be measured against on the facts to hand. That makes him the logical choice in a wide-open Class 5 over two miles on good to soft, where an established level of ability counts for a good deal. The danger is simply the depth of the field, as plenty of the unrated runners could improve past what they have shown, and a big field always brings traffic and trip trouble. Ramblingamblinman gets the nod, though only as a low-confidence selection.

Paul O'Brien
Charlie Longsdon 5/11
Barton Pass is unexposed with no recorded form to go on, so this debut is a pure step into the unknown for the gelding. He carries 156 lb, and there should be scope for improvement as he learns the job.

Lightly raced and unexposed, Bears Socks filled the runner-up spot last time out and again two starts back, so he looks open to improvement despite being yet to win. He returns after 325 days off and carries 156 lb.

Chris Honour 0/5
Ramblingamblinman was a fourth last time out and has run over today's trip, while carrying 156 lb; our top-rated runner at 89 gets the nod on that basis. The 256-day layoff is the one reservation, though he is yet to win in recent form.

Unexposed gelding who won last time out, but he returns after 234 days off and carries 156 lb, so there's likely more to come on limited evidence. His yard is in cracking form too, with 11 winners from 30 in the last 14 days.
