Wasdell Group Supports Chepstow Centenary Celebrations Handicap Stakes

Double Red arrives here in decent nick, second last time out and a winner five starts back, with experience over today's trip and going lending him solid claims. The main risk is that he has to defy a mark of 75 off 142 lb.

Curran won last time out and has winning form in his recent starts, with experience of today's trip and going working in his favour; carrying 141 lb is the one query, but he looks the one to beat here.

Winless in his last four starts but Polemon's consistent run of fourths reads well here, and the return after 64 days has to be respected; the concern is whether he can finally convert that placed consistency into something more decisive under 139 lb.

Oasis Sunrise arrives in good heart after back-to-back thirds, with a winner four starts back and distance-and-going experience lending confidence; the main risk is that her 139 lb burden may blunt her late effort.

Ranked bottom of the field on our figures, Aravalli faces a stiff ask here, and a fourth last time out does little to inspire confidence; she does bring back-to-back wins from earlier in her recent sequence and has run over today's trip and going before.
