9/4 32/17 2/1
Serenity Dream's latest start, a clear second, was much the best of a mixed sequence, and he returns quickly after 14 days for this same trip; rated well clear of this field on our figures, he is the one to beat, with a first win still to come.
AI verdict

SR 67 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Magna strung together three wins in the middle of her recent form, either side of which sit modest thirds and a seventh, the latter her most recent run, and she has had a lengthy 41 days off since; question marks over fitness balance a formerly progressive profile.
AI verdict

SR 55 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at -.

Connie's Rose has been a picture of consistency, with two seconds and a third among her last six starts, and she returns quickly after just 16 days for this trip; her modest fourth last time out is the recent blip, with a first win in this sequence still awaited.
AI verdict

SR 68 suggests ability but 5/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Zoulu Warrior strung together two wins further back in his form, but his last two starts - an unplaced effort and a seventh - have been well below that level; 27 days have passed since that last run, and rediscovering the earlier scoring form is the key question.
AI verdict

SR 69 suggests ability but 7/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Vape finished a modest fourth last time out, continuing a mixed sequence since a placed effort and a win further back, and he has had 29 days to recover; proving that best form is still there is the task following a couple of below-form runs in between.
AI verdict

SR 37 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 33/1.

Be An Angel signed off her recent form with a win last time out and backed that up with a rapid five-day turnaround, though the four starts before that were modest, including two finishes outside the frame; balancing that bright finish against her wider form is the puzzle here.
AI verdict

SR 64 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Some Nightmare sits bottom of this field on our figures, though his form is fairly consistent with two thirds and two fourths in his last six starts; he remains without a win in that sequence, making this a stiff task against a stronger crop.
AI verdict

SR 53 suggests ability but 9/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Outer Edge has been a model of consistency without ever threatening to win, with three fourths and a fifth in his last five starts, but he sits second-bottom of this field on our figures; more than steady placing looks needed to trouble this line-up.
AI verdict

SR 50 suggests ability but 9/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Be An Angel
Confidence: Medium

Be An Angel (SR:64, 5/2) carries just 8-11, the lightest weight among the competitive SR horses, giving it a meaningful lbs advantage over Serenity Dream (SR:67, 9-9) and Connie's Rose (SR:68, 9-7). Critically, it is the only runner in the field with a confirmed GoingFit:+ on today's good-to-firm ground, a substantial edge on a sprint track like Chepstow's 6f course where going suits matter acutely. Its last run was just five days ago — a win (form reads 00-751, rightmost) — indicating peak fitness and a yard (Rod Millman, 12% strike rate) prepared to run again quickly when a horse is ready. The class rise is offset by the weight relief and the going advantage, and 5/2 represents fair value for what is a multi-signal case. Each-way alternative: Zoulu Warrior. Main danger: Connie's Rose — Connie's Rose (SR:68, 5/1) holds the highest SR in the field, has a stellar course record of W1P11 at Chepstow, proven DistFit:+, and drops a class — if that course familiarity translates on good-to-firm, it is the likeliest to deny Be An Angel.
