Handicaps expected to be more his bag. (Forecast 13.00) Adam Wedge TIMEFORM VIEW: ELECTRON BLEU reached a fairly useful level over fences in France for his previous handler and, whilst below his best on his final start in January, he ultimately rates the type to improve now his attentions are switched to timber for new connections. He can come out on top. Antunes has improved for the switch to handicaps of late and is feared most, ahead of Khage. 1: ELECTRON BLEU (4) 2: ANTUNES (1) 3: KHAGE (2) (R4) 16:00 CHEPSTOW, 2m 3f 100y TechnonicolBorner Waterproof Maiden Hurdle (Class 5) (4YO plus) 1 40 BEAU HAZE 65 b g Black Sam Bellamy Bella Haze Jockey Colours: Royal blue, white cross belts, chevrons on sleeves, white cap Timeform says: Showed a bit on bumper debut at Ffos Las in December but went the wrong way from that effort back at that venue in January.

Has since switched yards. (Forecast 11.00) Adam Wedge TIMEFORM VIEW: MCNAMARAS BAND has twice shaped with plenty of promise over hurdles upon returning from a lengthy absence this winter, keeping on for third under considerate handling behind Dickie Diver at Chepstow in February. He retains a good deal of potential and is selected to come out on top. Mercy Mercy Me and Glen Vine are also fancied to feature. 1: MCNAMARAS BAND (8) 2: MERCY MERCY ME (9) 3: GLEN VINE (4) 128 (R5) 16:30 CHEPSTOW, 2m 3f 98y Recticel Insulation Handicap Chase (Class 4) (5YO plus) LORD BALLIM (FR) 28 D ch g Balko Lady Pauline Jockey Colours: Maroon, white diamond, diabolo on sleeves Timeform says: Hurdles/chase winner who found good run of form coming to a halt in November.

6 Jockey Colours: Emerald green and yellow (quartered), black sleeves Timeform says: Belatedly off the mark in convincing fashion at Warwick (20f) in December.

Blinkers added to usual tongue tie. (Forecast 41.00) b1t J M Davies Miss J S Davis TIMEFORM VIEW: TEGEREK can boast sold form in his qualifying runs, and following a promising first effort in handicaps at Newbury last month, is taken to make a leap forward tackling this new trip. Liosduin Bhearna showed a willing attitude when successful at Ayr and is feared most, though Shaw's Cross and Dandolo du Gite are also interesting. 1: TEGEREK (6) 2: LIOSDUIN BHEARNA (3) 3: SHAW'S CROSS (14) 101 Jockey Colours: White, maroon star, dark blue sleeves, dark blue and white quartered cap Timeform says: Improved form equipped with firsttime blinkers when successful at Worcester (20f) in July (final start for Neil King).
