The market favourite and our selection, Tomarlo arrives here just nine days after winning at Wolverhampton — the freshest form in this field. He also finished third at this very course 40 days ago, so he knows the track. The big question mark is that his odds have drifted sharply from where they opened, which suggests some doubt has crept in, but on fitness and recent form he holds a clear edge over most rivals.

Autumn Angel has been second twice and fourth once in her last three races — all at Chepstow — which means she's been finishing right in the mix but just can't quite get her nose in front. She's a course winner here and knows the track inside out after 66 career races, and the trainer and jockey combine to win roughly one in every five races together. If she can find that extra yard, she's the most obvious each-way threat to the favourite.

The standout course specialist in this field — Ajrad has won three times from nine races here at Chepstow, a record no other runner can match. At eight years old and with 59 races behind him, he knows his job, and the fact he's placed here recently suggests he's still competitive on this track. The concern is that his last six runs have produced no wins, and he's yet to find top gear on ground that isn't normal to fast.

Trainer Quotes
May 2026
"He had a great year last year, winning four times, but has been paying the penalty ever since. I thought he ran a nice race when fifth at Kempton last week though. He's at his best on a straight course so Chepstow - where he won twice and was runner-up twice last year - suits him down to the ground. He's better if you can get him to relax and then overtake horses. Last week at Kempton someone unfortunately just cut across him and his jockey had to snatch back and he then started pulling again. That's not so good - you've got to get him to relax and then produce him. But he'll win again - although he's an eight-year-old he still looks amazing and I think he'll pick up another couple of wins for his owners. 14-05-26"

Ravenglass was beaten just a third of a length at Chepstow 31 days ago, so he was desperately unlucky not to win last time out on this very course. He's a course winner here and has been running consistently in the right direction, finishing second and fourth in his two most recent Chepstow runs. The downside is that he's drawn in stall two, where the draw data offers little help, and he has a poor record on anything other than normal to fast ground.

King Of The Dance was runner-up just 16 days ago at Ffos Las, so he arrives in decent form and is one of the course winners in this field. At 9.0, he's reasonably fancied, but he's never managed to win on the ground conditions that often prevail here and has a poor record around right-handed tracks — which is a concern at Chepstow. A new jockey in the saddle today adds a small unknown for a horse who's already hard to win with.

Trainer Quotes
Aug 2022
"He ran once last year when an encouraging third over 6f at Windsor. He had a few issues after that, hence why he didn't run again until last month when finishing in mid-division at Lingfield. He was ring rusty but has come on in leaps and bounds since and the plan will be for another novice to get a handicap mark - he could be a dark horse for later in the season. 03-08-22"
TrackLab Insight
This horse has raced at Chepstow three times in the last 40 days, winning once and finishing fourth twice — so he's clearly at home here and well-suited by the course. One win from 33 races tells you he doesn't win often, but his consistency around this track is genuinely notable, and he arrives fit and race-sharp. The fly in the ointment is that today's trip of seven furlongs is slightly longer than his best distances, where he's won at a 25% rate over shorter.

Scarfo is the form horse of the race on recent results — three consecutive top-three finishes including a win at Chepstow 40 days ago make him the most consistently placed runner heading into today. He's shown he can perform at this course and over this trip, and at 10.0 he represents decent each-way value if that purple patch continues. The caveat is that his jockey has ridden him seven times without winning, and he has no record of success on normal ground conditions.
3 straight top-3 finishes

Romanovich has the best career win rate in this field — roughly one win in every six races — and an impressive record at Chepstow specifically, with four wins from 14 races here. But he hasn't run for 48 days, his last run on this course ended in a seventh-place finish beaten nine lengths, and the draw in stall one gives him no advantage on a track where low draws win just 13% of races. Plenty of potential, but some rust to shake off.

Weston Court raced yesterday and is back again today after just one day's rest — an almost unheard-of quick turnaround that makes his participation here puzzling. He carries the lowest weight in the field, which is an advantage in theory, but he's yet to win at Chepstow in five attempts and his best form has come over longer distances than today's seven furlongs. Hard to see past the fatigue factor given the circumstances.

On paper, seven furlongs is where Green Icon is most dangerous — both of his career wins have come at this trip, a better record than almost anyone else in the field at today's distance. The problem is his last three runs have been dire: thirteenth, eighth, and eighteenth in Ireland, beaten by huge margins each time. At 21.0 in the market, punters aren't buying it, and there's no obvious reason to argue with them.
Best record at this trip (2 from 7)
Unfancied in the market despite a high rating
TrackLab Insight
One of only a handful of horses here who has actually won at Chepstow before, which is a genuine advantage in a field this competitive. That said, his last three runs tell a worrying story — fifth, seventh, and eleventh — and there's been a 163-day gap between races in his recent history that makes his current readiness hard to judge. Rated 55, he's among the highest-rated horses in this race, but his form needs to improve significantly on what he's shown lately.

Poet is the lowest-rated horse in this field, sitting six pounds below the field average, and his last six runs have produced finishes of seventh, seventh, ninth, ninth, tenth, and ninth — a run of form that is as consistent as it is discouraging. At 151.0, the market has effectively written him off, and with no wins over today's trip and no success on normal summer ground, there is no obvious angle to argue otherwise.

How do odds work?
The first number is what you win, the second is what you bet. So 5/2 means you win £5 for every £2. 4/1 means you win £4 for every £1. The bigger the first number, the less likely bookmakers think the horse will win — but the more you'd win if it does.
