UK Horse Racing Tips

At the time of writing, the going at Chepstow is good but, with an unsettled outlook and widespread, heavy showers forecast for the latter part of the week, some easing of the ground is a distinct possibility. Medburn Dream has shown improved form since stepped up in distance on soft ground this season and appears to have every chance of defying a 6lb penalty in the Tradeteam Handicap (4.00), especially if the rain gets into the ground.

The son of Showcasing won with plenty in hand over 1 mile 114 yards at Epsom nine days ago and is 2lb well in compared with future engagements, so it’s understandable that connections are keen to strike while the iron is hot. Medburn Dream failed to trouble the judge in three starts over 6 furlongs as a juvenile, including on good and good to soft going, but has yet to prove conclusively that soft ground is a necessity. He’s clearly going the right way, so looks worth chancing whatever the weather in South Wales between now and Friday afternoon.

Selection: Chepstow 4.00 Medburn Dream to win
