The biggest day on the Welsh racing calendar took place at Chepstow today. The main event on the card saw 2020 runner-up, The Two Amigos carry bottom-weight to victory under Welsh jockey, David Pritchard.

There was another Welsh winner in the opening novices' hurdle, as Out Of Office won under Adam Wedge for Evan Williams. Richard Hobson's Fugitif then produced one of the most impressive performances of the day, as he ran out a convincing winner of the two-and-a-half-mile handicap chase.

Joseph O'Brien's raider Comfort Zone claimed a narrow victory in the Grade Two Finale Juvenile Hurdle. Jonjo O'Neill Jnr then rode his second winner on the bounce, guiding Flight Deck to victory for his father, Jonjo Snr.

The opening leg of Jonjo O'Neill Jnr's hat trick came when Saint Davy edged out Hymac to win the Maiden Hurdle. Gavin Sheehan and Jamie Snowden combined to win the novices' handicap chase with Super Survivor. The card-closing bumper was won by Olly Murphy's Fingle Bridge, after the big gamble Three Cliffs Bay fell a furlong from home.

Fugitif and Comfort Zone feature in our free tips for today's action. Here are our selections for tomorrow's ITV Races at Leopardstown and Leicester...
