\"Chepstow<\/p>\n

The biggest day of the year at Chepstow races is their Welsh National card on Friday, 27 December. This is one of those classic fixtures and Premier Racedays that punters cannot ignore.<\/strong><\/p>\n

South Wales takes over from Kempton as the main meeting in the UK during a hectic festive schedule between Christmas and New Year. On the supporting card are lots of other handicap hurdles and chases, plus the Grade 2 Finale Juvenile Hurdle for three-year-olds.<\/p>\n

There’s no doubt what the big race for punters wagering on horse racing betting sites<\/a>, though. We’ve dragged our experts away from their Christmas dinner for some expert analysis race by race of everything going on during this card.<\/p>\n

Chepstow Races Preview for 27 December<\/h2>\n

12:00 – 2m 11y Class 3 Novice Hurdle<\/h3>\n

The drop back in trip might not suit ratings topper\u00a0Julius Des Pictons<\/strong>, but\u00a0CLAP OF THUNDER <\/strong>may be better than he showed when fourth here in October. Nigel Twiston-Davies’ four-year-old came and out landed an Ascot novice easily before a solid fifth on handicap debut around Cheltenham last time out.<\/p>\n

Clap Of Thunder is now back in novice company under a penalty, rather than carrying a welter burden.\u00a0Shade Of Winter\u00a0<\/strong>placed in both his bumper and hurdles bow here last time out, so could come on for that first taste of this discipline for Adam Wedge and Evan Williams.<\/p>\n

Yhprum’s Law\u00a0<\/strong>needs a change of luck for the Skeltons after falling at Carlisle and a notable mistake around Uttoxeter last time out. Of the hurdling debutants, Tom Lacey mare\u00a0Piper Park\u00a0<\/strong>gets weight all-round and wants testing ground based on her Irish Point-to-Point success.<\/p>\n

12:30 – 2m 11y Class 4 Handicap Hurdle (0-115)<\/h3>\n
