Chepstow 5.45

Chepstow 5.45 8 Corporal Maddox @ 8/1 / 1 Big Chill @ 14/1 (both 1/2 point each way Lad/Coral odds to 4th)

This 7 furlong handicap will test the stamina of many of these and as is often the case here they
are likely to go off to fast and play in to the hands of "closers and hold up horses" and a couple of proven Course experts;
catch the eye and both have the underfoot conditions that are ideal for them. Corporal Maddox needs a strong gallop
and loves cut, it was winning here off a mark of 75 in July last year and is now well below 60. This looks an ideal chance
to grab a win and this is usually a productive time of year. Big Chill is also eased considerably in grade and is on a nice
mark despite top weight, has been running OK in tougher races but another whose last win here in September last year
was off a considerably higher mark of 75. If 95% of their abilities of 2016 remain both are very well handicapped.
