Chepstow is the scene for Monday's five to follow
Chepstow is the scene for Monday's five to follow

The heavy rain of recent days ensures the likes of Windsor must pass an inspection before Monday evening's Flat card in this unusually wet British summer. 

There are no such concerns at Chepstow, as the Welsh venue is set for racing on ground described as 'Good-good to firm in places' for their eight-race offering from 1.55pm-5.30pm. 

Some competitive events and some promising young horses are engaged in action and we've selected five worth following. 

1.55pm - Download The vickers.bet App Handicap (1m2f)

Jamie Osborne will hope Big Little Lie can get the better of Roger Charlton's Her Way
Jamie Osborne will hope Big Little Lie can get the better of Roger Charlton's Her Way

Her Way just failed to steal a win from the front at Bath over this distance last month and Roger Charlton's filly will have thoughts of going one better but such an approach might just play into the hands of BIG LITTLE LIE for Jamie and Saffie Osborne. 

The Dark Angle filly gained her first success at Brighton (1m, good) last time out on what was her handicap bow. 

She came wide on the home bend and ultimately pulled clear for a decisive success under this rider, doing so in a manner that certainly hinted she will excel herself over this extended journey. 

On that evidence, she may be the one to come and get Her Way up this long and testing Chepstow home straight. 

LiveScore Selection: Big Little Lie 

2.30pm - vickers.bet Bet 10Get20 Promo Code Chepstow Novice Median Auction Stakes (1m2f)

Only five go to post and it will be a shock if this isn't a wrestle between BASHFUL and Charging Thunder, with ready preference for Andrew Balding's colt. 

It was a very rewarding week for the trainer at Royal Ascot and he'll hope to keep the momentum going now. 

Bashful was having just his second start - first since September - when he was second at Lingfield (1m1f, good to firm) at the start of this month and he beat all bar the favourite there. 

However, this is far less competitive and he's got a glaring chance to open his account. 

LiveScore Selection: Bashful

3pm - vickers.bet Free Bets With Our Bet Club Maiden Stakes (1m)

Simon Crisford has a live chance with Tamaamm

Simon & Ed Crisford can hold strong hopes that TAMAAMM will open his account at the third time of asking in this mile maiden. 

The Iffraaj gelding was third in last month's debut at Chelmsford over this distance (fourth won next time) and then went a place better at Leicester (1m, good to firm) behind what looked a potentially smart Shadwell-owned colt for William Haggas. 

That theory has gained traction since, the winner absolutely bolting up at Newmarket on Saturday. 

With that in mind, Tamaamm should be good enough to make the most of this opening. 

LiveScore Selection: Tamaamm

3.30pm - vickers.bet Supports The Rainbow Applause Charity Confined Handicap (1m)

This looks a good piece of placement from Richard Hughes in his quest to get DON'T LOOK BACK on the scoresheet. 

The six-race maiden made a pleasing turf bow at Windsor (1m, good to soft) last month in third and has since run well again over further at Salisbury. 

He is now set to encounter slightly better ground and drops in class/trip for this assignment. 

The handicapper has also eased him 1lb and he's sporting first-time cheekpieces that may bring about improvement. 

Add in Tyler Heard's 5lb claim in the saddle and it's certainly not hard to enthuse on his hopes of a maiden success. 

LiveScore Selection: Don't Look Back 

5pm - vickers.bet Try Our Live Casino Handicap (6f)

BOUNTY PURSUIT has finished second in three of his last four starts and surely must be due a change in fortune soon. 

Michael Blake's charge was only caught close home over 7f at the start of the month when Inner Circle made full use of the running rail to come and land the spoils in the final strides. 

Bounty Pursuit has been put up the minimum for that near miss and now drops in trip. 

He's already got two 7f Chepstow wins on this CV and was third over this trip in a Class 4 event back in September from a 12lb higher mark than this one. His turn is surely coming again soon.
