Eceparti was a short-priced favourite in the 12.55 Chepstow yesterday but Venetia Williams also runs Robyndzone, who was in good form in the spring. Concetto was pulled up in the race that Eceparti won at the Welsh track nine days ago but that should have blown away a few cobwebs. All of Tide Times’ chase victories have come here and he looks the pick of Ian Williams’ pair but Lord Sparky is a Huntingdon specialist. Bretney is well treated on a victory at Bangor in February but he’s a bit of an enigma and usually needs a run. Elizabeth Gale won over hurdles here last season on LANGLEY HUNDRED and still claims a very handy 10lb. The gelding is having a first run over fences today but is far from overburdened on a mark of 106.
