Racing tip of the day


A Chepstow course specialist gets the vote for Ian Ogg's tip of the day in the belief that he can roll back the years.

Recommended bets

0.5pt each-way on Bold Duke, 4.30 Chepstow, at 14/1 (General)

Bold Duke has won four of his 43 career starts but only one of those successes has come over hurdles from 17 attempts.

Clearly the nine-year-old is not one to go 'all in on' particularly when he's been beaten by 39 lengths and 47 lengths on his last two starts.

His current form does mean that the handicapper has cut him some slack and he's a stone lower than when runner-up at Chepstow around this time last year.

That was by no means the only time that he's run well at the course as he's placed on both runs over hurdles and won here on the Flat.

At a double figure price, it's worth taking a chance that the return to one of his favourite venues will bring about a return to form.
