CARPE DIEM LADY would not be winning out of turn and there are reasons to believe she can break her maiden in the 188Bet Handicap at Chepstow's evening meeting.

Now with Ralph Beckett, having left Clive Cox, she has a string of placed efforts next to her name yet her resolution has not been called into doubt.

She has been wearing blinkers and they were on when she made her first start for Beckett last month. However, he has left them off this time.

That is not a surprise as Carpe Diem Lady raced far too keenly in them, probably blowing her chance of a win, at Epsom.

With the fizz knocked off her, and 1lb taken off by the handicapper, she has to be in the mix under Pat Dobbs as today's nap selection.

Few rode Chepstow better than Richard Hughes and he should be on the scoresheet with EVENING HILL in the 188Bet one-mile maiden, with Dobbs again on board.

Evening Hill runs in the colours in which Hughes had a few special days on Canford Cliffs and should certainly win races based on his promising debut last season.

Second of 14 in a Kempton maiden in November, all he did was stay on, so the step up in trip will suit.

There are reasons to believe MAGIC JAZZ can take a good leap forward from his debut effort in the opening Racing UK Novice Stakes at Beverley.

While he was only seventh of 12 on his initial effort on the Westwood last month, the penny appeared to drop close to home and he was doing all his best work at the finish.

Kevin Ryan's juveniles tend to improve enormously from their first run and, from the box seat in stall one, it would be no surprise to see him go well with Kevin Stott in the saddle.

Another worth an interest in East Yorkshire is Les Eyre's DETACHMENT, who caught the eye with the way he travelled last time out.

His jockey went for a gap on the rail which closed in front of him and he lost all chance in an instant – but off 2lb lower, he has been given a chance by the assessor. PJ McDonald has today's ride.

Mick Appleby's ALYS ROCK ended the last jumps season in fine form, winning two of her last three, and a 5lb rise for the latest of those seems fair.

She is back out at Sedgefield today for the opening Paxtons For Caseih Axial Flow Combines Handicap Chase, with Jamie Moore taking the reins.

Seamus Mullins has his horses in great nick and KASTANI BEACH, ridden today by Kevin Jones, has been running consistently well ahead of the opening £188 First Goals Wins At 188Bet Handicap Hurdle at Warwick.

Kim Bailey's SUCH A LEGEND will have the ground in his favour in the Chillipetals Florist & Coffee Shop Tuxford Chase at Southwell's evening meeting.

He made all on his return to action after a lay-off last time out and as long as the dreaded bounce factor is avoided, he will go well again.
