SAN AGUSTIN returns from a 162 day break to run in the first race at Chepstow today. Assuming the selection is ready after his break, this consistent performer can continue to build on a number of encouraging runs over fences last season. SAN AGUSTIN should have more to offer in his second campaign chasing.

CAMEMBERT ELECTRIC won convincingly at Ffos Las three weeks ago and would have won by further if for not clipping the second last hurdle. On the plus side, a 4lb looks to be on the generous side and makes the selection even more fancied to follow up with a back-to-back victory.
CAMEMBERT ELECTRIC is unexposed as a stayer and looked to benefit from the step up to three miles last time out. With three wins from her last five, CAMEMBERT ELECTRIC has this field beat on ability. The only thing that can beat her is her own jumping, but with a record that speaks for itself, CAMEMBERT ELECTRIC is the best candidate for winning today.

Hattrick seeking STRIKE RED comes into this race at the top of his game. Back-to-back wins at Wolves and York respectively have seen this horse fly up through the ratings and in the weights, but at 7/1 I'm siding with STRIKE RED to win once again. It's a career high mark and a tough wide draw for STRIKE RED however, recent performances have shown that the ability is there. With odds of 6/1 we can justify an each way bet. I fully expect STRIKE RED to be in the thick of things at the finish line, with the main concern being the wide draw, therefore the each way bet should offer us some insurance should the draw hinder us more than expected.
