Thank You For Renewing Chepstow Annual Members Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

5YO plus | Class 4 | 3m 2f 54y | 6 Runners | Turf

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Luke Scott| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole| OR: 106

Won first 2 starts over hurdles but has largely disappointed over fences, beaten a long way over 19.5f at Fontwell latest. Needs a marked step up in trip and refitted cheekpieces to spark a revival.

Form: 2645-24

Roe And Co^t,p³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Joe Anderson| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 104| C

3m course scorer on second start over fences and has added wins at Market Rasen and Leicester since. This step up in trip up will suit and can make a bold bid for the 4-timer.

Form: 8-43111

Jo Lescribaa³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Murray Dodd⁽⁶⁾| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 102| C

Improved when taking heavy-ground handicaps over 3m at Uttoxeter and over C&D last winter but not been in same form either start since, albeit he's entitled to strip fitter for his seasonal return in November.

Form: 6/3113-6

Walkinthewoods³²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Osian Radford⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 99| C

Dual hurdles winner who got off the mark over fences at Plumpton in May, albeit in a weak 3-runner affair. Sharper for a comeback run at Hereford when creditable second of 7 in 3m Ludlow handicap hurdle last month.

Form: 2R4-142

To Be Sure^p¹⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 10-12| J: Ellis Collier⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 90

Losing run is mounting up but he largely ran with credit in the first half of this season, including over C&D. Type to bounce back from a poor effort at Fakenham (distant fourth) last time.

Form: 2-34234

Ebony Jade^p³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Ned Fox| T: R Potter| OR: 80

Ex-Irish maiden hurdler who offered little in a trio of runs for Sam England and similar story in 2 hurdle starts for Ryan Pooter towards the end of 2025. Well-held sixth on his previous chase start.

Form: 0/PP-6P6

Forecasts

Roe And Co (5/4), Walkinthewoods (7/2), To Be Sure (11/2), Jo Lescribaa (13/2), Easy To Follow (7/1), Ebony Jade (20/1)

This step up to beyond 3m for the first time should suit ROE AND CO who is taken to extend his winning sequence to 4. To Be Sure can bounce back from a lesser run last time and give the selection most to think about.
