Published: August 7, 2024 Horse racing is in Liam's blood and his biggest passion is jumps racing. He can often be found at his favourite tracks; Chepstow and Cheltenham in the Autumn when the National Hunt action kicks off. In his own words: "I'm often referred to as a walking form book, a trait which comes in handy from time to time. My proudest tipping success to date was landing a whopping 682-1 accumulator at Epsom." Simply getting a horse to the races is an expensive endeavour these days and rising travel costs are a key reason for that. Therefore it’s intriguing when connections send a horse on a particularly long trip. That’s the case at Chepstow‘s Racing League meeting on Thursday as Scotland-based Jim Goldie sends just his second-ever runner to the Welsh track. It’s a 766-mile round trip for the horse in question and connections won’t want to come home empty-handed. Check out our free tips page for daily content across British and Irish racing.

Eased in the handicap and has placed form on good to firm going. Despite being up in grade, the horse's consistent placing record and slight ease in the handicap make it a strong each-way contender. Bet: £1.50 Each-Way Odds: 14 If Win: £23.40 If Placed: £2.40 If Unplaced: -£3.00 Etoile d'Alexandre Trainer: George Boughey Last 21 Days: 7 wins from 19 runners (37% strike rate) Jockey: Billy Loughnane Last 21 Days: 9 wins from 36 rides (25% strike rate) Form: 435-12 Rating: 77 Analysis: Won at 6f and second over 7f at Lingfield on her latest outing. Well-suited to the course and going. With a favourable draw and in good form, she is a strong win bet. Bet: £2 Win Odds: 6.8 Potential Return: £11.60 Other Contenders Believe You Me: Seeking a hat-trick with three C&D wins. However, the 10lb rise in the ratings might make her vulnerable to better-treated rivals. Brunel Nation: Dropping in grade after a respectable third in Class 3 company. A potential threat but slightly weaker recent form. Von Baer: Recently won at Sandown over 7f; capable but mixed form. Leadenhall: Strong third at York in a Class 3 race, in good form. Craven: Won last time out at York but may struggle with the raised mark. Additional Insights Going Conditions: The going is Good to Firm, which suits both Alpine Sierra and Etoile d'Alexandre. Alpine Sierra has performed well under similar conditions before. Formscan Analysis: Alpine Sierra has been noted for its running-on second at Ayr and has been eased 1lb by the handicapper, making it an appealing each-way bet. Etoile d'Alexandre's course, distance, and going suitability, along with recent form, make it a strong contender for the win bet. Betting Strategy and Recommendation Win Bet: Etoile d'Alexandre Odds: 6.8 Stake: £2 Potential Return: £11.60 Each-Way Bet: Alpine Sierra Odds: 14 Stake: £1.50 each-way Potential Return: If Win: £23.40 If Placed: £2.40 If Unplaced: -£3.00 Conclusion The combined approach of a win bet on Etoile d'Alexandre and an each-way bet on Alpine Sierra offers a balanced strategy, maximising the potential for returns while managing risk. Both horses have strong recent form, favourable conditions, and competent trainer-jockey combinations. Responsible Gambling Reminder Remember, gambling should be a form of entertainment. Always bet responsibly and within your limits. Good luck with your bets! |

Post-Race Critique: 6:00 Chepstow (8 August 2024)
Race Result: Von Baer Brunel Nation Etoile d'Alexandre Alpine Sierra Analysis of Selected Horses: 1. Alpine Sierra - 4th Place Performance: Alpine Sierra ran a commendable race, finishing just outside the top three. The horse showed good form but was unable to secure a place in the top three. Factors: Despite being eased 1lb by the handicapper, the step up in grade might have been a challenge. The horse's consistent place record held true, indicating it was a reasonable each-way bet. Takeaway: Alpine Sierra's performance was consistent with expectations, showing it is competitive but might benefit from a slightly lower class race or more favourable conditions next time. 2. Etoile d'Alexandre - 3rd Place Performance: Etoile d'Alexandre finished in the top three, which is a solid performance. The horse lived up to its recent form and potential. Factors: The jockey and trainer combination showed their competence, and the horse handled the course and distance well. Being a 3-year-old, there's potential for improvement and future wins. Takeaway: Etoile d'Alexandre justified the win bet with a strong performance. Although it did not win, placing third shows it has the capability to win in similar conditions. 3. Brunel Nation - 2nd Place Performance: Brunel Nation ran an excellent race, securing second place. Dropping in grade from Class 3, the horse showed it could compete effectively at this level. Factors: The drop in class was a significant factor in Brunel Nation's improved performance. The jockey and trainer executed well. Takeaway: Brunel Nation's strong performance suggests it is worth considering for future races, especially when dropping in class. 4. Von Baer - 1st Place Performance: Von Baer delivered a winning performance, showing its capability at this distance and on this surface. Factors: The recent win at Sandown likely boosted the horse's confidence, and the consistent form paid off. Takeaway: Von Baer's victory confirms its potential and suitability for similar races. This horse should be watched for future races under similar conditions. Overall Betting Critique Each-Way Bet on Alpine Sierra: Outcome: Unplaced. Critique: The selection was logical based on the horse's recent form and consistency. While it didn't place, finishing 4th was close, suggesting that the strategy was sound. Win Bet on Etoile d'Alexandre: Outcome: Placed 3rd. Critique: Etoile d'Alexandre performed well and secured a place, indicating that the win bet had a solid basis. Although it didn't win, the horse's strong performance validates the selection. Lessons Learned Form and Grade: Horses like Brunel Nation, which dropped in grade, showed significant improvement. This highlights the importance of considering class changes in future selections. Each-Way Potential: Alpine Sierra’s near placing suggests that while the each-way bet was justified, evaluating potential lower-class races might yield better results. Consistency and Improvement: Both Von Baer and Etoile d'Alexandre demonstrated the value of consistent form and potential for improvement, underscoring the importance of these factors in future bets. Future Recommendations Alpine Sierra: Consider for lower-class races or when conditions are slightly more favourable. Etoile d'Alexandre: Continue to watch for improvement and similar race conditions. Brunel Nation and Von Baer: Monitor for future races, especially when they are competing in similar or slightly lower-class races.
