Chepstow
Sat 27th Dec

Formscan  - A C&D winner two starts ago, Ben Solo is bound to retain plenty of support, despite failing to justify odds-on favouritism when second over track and trip subsequently. Toss Of A Coin benefited from the switch to the Alan Jones stable to score over an extended 2m7f here, although he will need to prove as effective over this shorter distance. The one who appeals most is DONNACHA, who finished clear of the third when hitting the woodwork at Exeter and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him take a step forward.
