Caribbean Night At Chepstow Racecourse 26th July Novices' Hurdle

Official ratings give a decisive edge to Sunset Showdown but he was rated only 124 going into his last race which was an unsatisfactory contest and he has looked a tricky customer. As a result it looks safer to side with BRAID BLUE, particularly if conditions remain sound given the forecast for overnight rain. The Irish raider is a winner of four races and has impressed on his last two outings. The prospect of racing over 3m should see him progress further and he is hard to oppose.

1. Braid Blue
2. Sunset Showdown
3. Blazing Tom
