Chepstow Race 2 - Bbs Memorial Maiden Hurdle (Gbb Race)
BOULTYDOOLIN (2) Honest race when 2nd last time in a hurdle at Newbury and was a debutant last start. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Suited. ISLAND BRIDGE (5) Ran out of steam towards the end when 2nd beaten by 4 1/4L last start in a hurdle at Ludlow. Main hope. LIL FORTUNE (7) Was competitive when 2nd last start in a hurdle at Lingfield and having second career run. Has early speed and positions nicely. Looks a value runner. JONNY SETASIDE (6) Ran 7th last time in a hurdle at Southwell but having second race start. Likely to settle back in the field. Strong each way bet.

Started at 100/1 and didn't find the line when 13th last time in a hurdle at Lingfield but stepping up in trip. Needs too much luck.

Tidy run when 2nd last time in a hurdle at Newbury and was on debut last time. Should jump out and bowl along. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

Good result placing 2nd beaten by 4 1/4L last start in a hurdle at Ludlow. In a purple patch of form since returning from a spell. Strong competitor.

Was 13/2 and came in 7th last time in a hurdle at Southwell but having second race start. Might be ridden for luck. Should definitely be in your tricast bets.

Ran well when 2nd last start in a hurdle at Lingfield and was on debut last time. Should muster plenty of early speed. Marginal contender.

Was 10/1 and nothing special when 5th last start in a hurdle at Warwick but fitter for debut run. Betting is the best guide.
