Joe Tizzard Saturday runners schedule
Gyenyame - Chepstow - 14:45 race odds
American Land - Chepstow - 16:35 race odds
Investment Manager - Chepstow - 17:10 race odds
Chepstow 2.45 – Gyenyame
Gyenyame won a little beginners chase last autumn, and then his jumping fell apart a little after that, so we had him checked out, and sure enough there was a problem with his back, which we’ve now sorted out. He’s been schooling well, and he gets in here off a nice low weight, so at a course he’s run well at before, he could go well enough.
He’s co-owned by Anne Broom, and this race is named after Native River, who the Brooms owned, so it’s nice for them to have a runner, although we would expect him to improve for this first run of the season.
Chepstow 4.35 – American Land
This fellow has been in marvellous form, winning five of his last six runs. He’s always jumped a fence well at home, and we ran him in a chase at Wincanton, but he just got bumped and lost his confidence that day, so we went hurdling again.
The plan was always to go chasing again, he’s rated five pounds lower over fences than his hurdles so if he can pick up where he left off earlier in the year, he should be there or thereabouts, and he’ll love two miles around Chepstow.
Chepstow 5.10 – Investment Manager
Investment Manager mixes hurdling and chasing and is consistent at both, but the problem is the handicapper knows how good he is at both and at the moment he’s got a grip on him that doesn’t make life easy for him.

Alexei - Chepstow - 15:17 race odds
Chepstow 3.17 – Alexei
I’m looking forward to running Alexei here. He bolted up in a couple of novice hurdles at Taunton, and then just had a minor injury that impacted the rest of the season. He's in really good form, and while we thought the mark he was given was high enough at the time, it will be interesting to see where he is in this sort of handicap company.
He was a prolific winner on the flat in Germany, and has done really well over the summer, and on ground I think he will really enjoy, I hope he can run a big race here.
