TrackLab Insight
Romidijo finished eighth at Ascot on her only race just 13 days ago — one of the more experienced runners in a field full of debut horses, but that experience counts for little when it produced an eighth-place finish beaten almost 7 lengths. She has never raced on slightly soft ground, adding another unknown to the equation. The low draw in stall 1 is the best position on the track statistically at Chepstow over this distance, which is worth noting.

Ariane Sky ran fifth on her debut at Bath 22 days ago, beaten 6.5 lengths, which makes her one of the better-placed experienced runners on paper — though the margin of defeat was still significant. She has never raced on slightly soft ground before, so today's conditions are untested. At just over 4/1 she is among the shorter-priced runners, but the step up in ground conditions is a genuine uncertainty.

TrackLab Insight
One of seven first-timers in this race, Green Titan has never set foot on a racecourse before — so there is genuinely no form to judge. What we do know is that the odds have drifted sharply from a morning favourite to 4/1, which suggests something has tempered early confidence. Jockey Billy Loughnane and trainer George Boughey have teamed up for nearly 140 wins together, so if the horse is ready, they are a capable pair to deliver it.

The editorial pick of the race, Issy's Gift is another first-timer with no racecourse experience to lean on — but that hasn't stopped it being among the market leaders. Like Green Titan, its odds have drifted noticeably from an early price of 1.1, so punters haven't rushed to back it with conviction. On debut, everything is guesswork from the outside — the trainer and jockey will know far more than the form book can tell us.

Forest Berry finished seventh at Kempton on her only race three weeks ago, beaten 4.5 lengths — which is actually one of the closer debut efforts among the experienced runners in this field. She has never raced on slightly soft ground, and today's conditions at Chepstow will be different from the artificial surface at Kempton. Trained by the highly regarded Sir Mark Prescott, she is worth keeping an eye on even if the market has her at 9/1.

First run (debut)
TrackLab Insight
Another horse making its very first racecourse appearance, My A'Ali Baba is one of the least fancied of the debut runners at 12/1. The trainer David Evans has a second runner in this race too (Alfey Moon), which is an unusual situation — when a yard saddles two newcomers in the same race, it can be hard to know which one they fancy more. There is simply no form to go on here.

TrackLab Insight
Another debut runner, Benefacta arrives with no form to speak of but comes from the yard of trainer Richard Hughes, who has a strong record with his jockey Finley Marsh — 104 wins from 624 races together. The draw in stall 12 is on the high side at Chepstow over 6f, where horses drawn high win less often than those drawn low. That is a small but genuine disadvantage heading in.

Third in the editorial pecking order behind Issy's Gift and Green Titan, Jazzy Bay is a first-time runner bred from two speed sires — Dark Angel and Exceed And Excel — which is about as sprint-focused a pedigree as you can find. A draw of 6 puts it in the middle of the field, which is a reasonable position at this course. There is no racecourse form to assess, but the breeding strongly suggests 6 furlongs on slightly soft ground should suit.

TrackLab Insight
Metamouse is one of several debut runners in what is a very inexperienced field, with no form whatsoever to go on. The horse is drawn in stall 8, which falls into the mid-draw bracket where Chepstow's 6f history is slightly less favourable than the low draws. At 17/1, the market is not particularly taken with its chances among its fellow first-timers.

First run (debut)
TrackLab Insight
Alfey Moon shares a trainer with My A'Ali Baba, meaning David Evans has two first-timers in the same race — and this one is the much bigger outsider at 34/1. The jockey-trainer combination of Taylor Fisher and Evans has yet to produce a winner from three attempts together, which adds another question mark. With no racecourse form to assess, this looks like one for the experience books rather than the shortlist.

Marralyn is one of only five horses in this field with any racecourse experience at all, but that experience amounts to a single run — a fifth-place finish beaten nearly 15 lengths at Wolverhampton 30 days ago. She has never raced on slightly soft ground, so today's conditions are an unknown. At 23/1, the market is not expecting a dramatic improvement on that debut effort.

Turtle Star finished tenth on her only race at Bath 22 days ago, beaten over 18 lengths — the widest losing margin of any horse with racecourse experience in this field. The odds of 81/1 reflect just how unlikely a turnaround the market thinks is on the cards. She has never raced on slightly soft ground, and the high draw in stall 5 at Chepstow is not a major help either.

How do odds work? The first number is what you win, the second is what you bet. So 5/2 means you win £5 for every £2. 4/1 means you win £4 for every £1. The bigger the first number, the less likely bookmakers think the horse will win — but the more you'd win if it does.
