Todays Racing Tip – DASHING POET
Time & Track – 2.00 Chepstow (14/05)
Best Odds – 11/2 @ Betfair
Stake – 1pt win
Analysis – Recorded first win since a C&D success last summer when scoring over this trip at Southwell in December but has been a model of consistency since then and his latest effort on Saturday, first attempt over 1m2f, was a good one when headed inside the final furlong so on that evidence the drop back to a mile looks the right move. The ground is in favour and connections will be hoping their five-year old can make it 2/2 at the Welsh track.
Result – Lost
Todays Racing Tip – FIELD OF VISION
Time & Track – 3.30 Chepstow (14/05)
Best Odds – 7/1 @ Paddy Power
Stake – 1pt win
Analysis – This six-year old has yet to finish out the places at this course from six starts and in that includes a C&D win from 2lb higher last August. He’s on his lowest mark on the turf now and with his recent seventh on reappearance under his belt this gelding could be the answer to this open handicap with the useful Finlay Marsh back on board (two second placed efforts on him previously) claiming a handy 3lb and the John Flint yard are going great guns at present (38% strike-rate in past fortnight).

Todays Racing Tip – BALLYVIC BORU
Time & Track – 6.40 Southwell (14/05)
Best Odds – 7/2 @ Betfair
Stake – 1pt win
Analysis – Needs to put his latest run at Perth behind him but that was in a much stronger race than this and if showing the form of a similar time to last year then he has a great chance of winning again. He’s 9lb higher than for his kelso win four starts back but is on the same mark as when going down by a length-and-a-quarter just after that win, again in a better race than this. He’s suited by the good ground and the drop back to the minimum trip will suit better so I’m happy to take on the favourite as he may need this despite dropping in grade.
