Chepstow Race 3 - Ashcroft Services Mares' 'National Hunt' Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)
THE PROCRASTINATOR (7) In the money when 3rd last time in a hurdle at Wetherby and putting a tidy record together so far. Expecting to settle positively. Tracking very well this campaign. Big claims. JUST A GLANCE (1) Handy enough when winning by 2 1/4L last time in a hurdle at Hereford. Should come to hand quickly. Massive hope. EVENING TESS (8) 4yo by Dink racing as a debutant for D Skelton. Keep your eye on the market. HOLLYSAWAY (2) Capri 5yo having first start for trainer Ella Pickard. Tongue tie go on for the first time. Watch early betting.

Resuming after a spell. Jumped at $126.00 and finished 8th last time in a hurdle at Exeter. Needs a lot of luck.

Racing fresh today after a break. Failed to finish in a hurdle at Doncaster on Nov 29th. Shows good early pace. The large claim from Toby Mccain Mitchell helps. Will struggle to compete in this race.

Failed to finish in a hurdle at Ffos Las on Mar 1st but having second race start. Interesting gear change of tongue tie on first time. Looks highly doubtful.

In the money when 3rd last time in a hurdle at Wetherby and good career start. Won't be far away during the run. Going well this campaign. Large claim helps. Worth strong consideration.
