Re: Chepstow 24/03/08 3.00 Ask the Umpire - ew @ 13/2 sportingbet Sportingbet are the standout price for this one who seems to have conditions in his favour today. A course and distance winner, he performs well in this grade in this soft ground. His record in class 5 on soft or heavy reads 1 1 4 1 2 3 2 1 - a strike rate of 50%. The 4th place in that sequence was over a trip of 3 miles - too far for him. Of the dangers, Jupon Vert looks out of form and Roaring Water hasnt won over fences before, although he has Richard Johnson riding today which you'd think might help but his record for the stable last year was only 2 winners from 25 runners so he's hardly a "job jockey"
