WELCOME
A very warm welcome to Chepstow Racecourse. It is a pleasure to welcome you to Chepstow Racecourse for another afternoon of summer Flat racing. Our last two fixtures were particularly special as we celebrated the 100th anniversary of racing here at Chepstow Racecourse. It was wonderful to mark such an important milestone with so many racegoers, friends and colleagues from across the racing industry, and we would like to thank everyone who joined us across those two memorable days. After such a fantastic celebration of our history, we now look forward to the next chapter as we begin our second century of racing at Chepstow. Today, the focus returns to the action on the track, with six competitive Flat races to enjoy throughout the afternoon. Our weekday fixtures offer a more relaxed way to experience a day at the races, with plenty of opportunity to enjoy the racing from around the course and get close to the action. We’d like to extend a special thank you to our valued sponsor, Trade Centre Wales, for their generous sponsorship of today’s racecard and for their continued support and partnership. Their contribution is greatly appreciated and we are delighted to have them with us today. As always, I would also like to thank the owners, trainers, jockeys, stable staff and everyone working behind the scenes whose continued support makes our racedays possible. We are incredibly grateful for the contribution you all make to racing here at Chepstow. There are now just two more Flat racing meetings remaining in our 2026 season, including an additional fixture on Saturday 29th August, followed by our final Flat meeting of the summer, Bank Holiday Family Fun Day on Monday 31st August. We then turn our attention to the eagerly anticipated return of National Hunt racing in the autumn, with the jumps returning to Chepstow for the DragonBet Welsh Racing Festival. Upcoming Feature Events: Bank Holiday Family Fun Day – Monday, 31st August Get ready for an unforgettable Family Day at the races, packed with live music, family fun, and a fantastic atmosphere from start to finish! Dragonbet Welsh Racing Festival – Friday 9th – Sunday 11th October It’s the ultimate start to the British jump season. Each day offers something special including the Dragonbet Persian War Novices’ Hurdle (Grade 2) and the Dragonbet Veteran’s Chase on Friday, the Wasdell Group Silver Trophy Handicap Hurdle on Saturday and the DragonBet Welsh Champion Hurdle on Sunday. It’s the perfect way to experience the very best of Welsh jump racing with live entertainment and a buzzing atmosphere. Thank you for joining us today. We hope you enjoy a wonderful afternoon of racing and that we have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Chepstow Racecourse again very soon.

Star Ratings Explained
Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below: HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope. HHHHH Selected to win the race. HIIII Can be given little or no chance. HHHHI Good chance of being placed. HHHII By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims
OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS EXPLAINED The BHA Handicappers allot ratings to horses once they have taken part in a sufficient number of races to enable the Handicappers to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s ability. The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the Handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions. A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring any penalties or allowances). The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in nonhandicaps races the rating shown is that of each runner at the time that the entries for the race were confirmed. Any subsequently published change to a rating, either up or down, is shown in brackets following the rating. For novice steeple chasers, the latest hurdle race rating may be shown until such time as the Handicappers allot a separate steeple chase rating. Such ratings are prefixed by the letter h.

Avionics raced too freely last time and can be afforded another chance, whilst La Bassette rates a likely improver having shown ability in a well-contested maiden on debut.
