Thurso will be looking to deny Jax Edge the hat-trick in today’s feature contest from Chepstow – live on Sky Sports Racing.
Christopher Mason’s five-year-old Jax Edge landed the double at Wolverhampton over the winter, which both came in fillies’ company, and returns here following 203 days off the track. She has two course wins to her name, which includes over the six-furlong trip, and is fancied to put that course form to good use and land the hat-trick.
A likely challenger is the in-form Richard Hughes-trained Thurso, who looks to defy an 8lb rise in the handicapping weights for his recent Haydock success. Finley Marsh knows this horse well and the fast ground will only help his chances of further success here.
Three-year-old Kamekist tackled seven furlongs at Haydock last time and did well considering he was keen early on, and is a big player back at six furlongs. He represents Windsor Castle Stakes-winning team Eve Johnson Houghton and Charlie Bishop.
Over Spiced was denied the hat-trick at Thirsk last time and is of interest upped in trip.
Oisin Murphy has been booked to ride Nogo’s Dream, who had no luck in running when out of the handicap in the Dash at Epsom last time. The course and distance success in May with Murphy in the saddle is good form and he is fancied to be walking back into the winners’ enclosure for Richard Hughes.

Heather Main’s Zoulu Chief is another that contested a hot race last time when running in a Class 2 York handicap, with the winner American Affair going on to win the King Charles III Stakes at Royal Ascot. This is a much weaker contest and a run similar to that level could be enough to take this.

The William Haggas-trained daughter of Sea The Stars Orionis will take all the beating here on handicap debut and is chucked in off 77 with the weight for age allowance.
She ran out a rampant winner when making all on the tricky Ripon undulations last time. As such, Haggas and Tom Marquand will be hopeful of further success having landed the King George V Stakes at Royal Ascot with Merchant.
