Can top jockey Oisin Murphy maintain his red-hot run of form at Chepstow on Wednesday?

Oisin Murphy claimed Group 1 glory in Saturday's Lockinge Stakes at Newbury before riding a 92-1 four-timer at Windsor on Monday evening.

The top jockey's recent run of success has seen his odds for the Flat jockeys' championship shorten to 2-1 (from 7-2) with BoyleSports.

Brian O’Keeffe, spokesperson for BoyleSports, said on Tuesday: “It’s very early days in the race to be crowned champion Flat jockey, but Oisin Murphy has really hit the ground running and punters are latching onto last year’s champion to claim his fifth crown this season.”

Murphy bids to continue his hot streak with six rides at Chepstow on Wednesday, a track where he has ridden three winners from just nine rides in the last five seasons. Here, we run through his chances.

Triple Gee

2.22 Chepstow: 1m4f novice

Spotlight comment: Cost 100,000gns as a yearling and finished a 6l third behind two promising horses at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm); has a lot to find on the figures with Ammes but improvement looks on the cards.

What A Nation

2.52 Chepstow: 1m4f handicap

Spotlight comment: Beaten in the region of 6l in two handicaps at about 1m2f since being gelded (led the last time); has to improve, though the cheekpieces are new and Oisin Murphy takes over.

Sir Albert

3.22 Chepstow: 6f maiden

Spotlight comment: April foal; 165,000euros yearling; tenth foal; brother to 7f winner He's A Monster (including 2yo; RPR 109) and a half-brother to two winners including Festive Fare (Listed-placed 1m/9.4f; 114); dam 1m winner (70), half-sister to Racing Post Trophy/Dante winner Dilshaan; in a strong yard so market confidence would be informative.

Connie's Rose

3.55 Chepstow: 5f handicap

Spotlight comment: Best of three runs after wind surgery was last week's very close third here over 6f; she's back on a good mark and plenty quick enough for 5f; goes well here.

Power Of Gold

5.00 Chepstow: 7f handicap

Spotlight comment: Only 1-20 but his comeback run was encouraging, over 1m at Pontefract; Wetherby next time was disappointing but he did go down by only a neck on his last run over 7f (last August) and he's his Yorkshire-based yard's only runner on the card; Oisin Murphy rides.

Spotlight comment: C&D winner last July off 2lb higher and he was never far away when fourth on last week's return here; in the mix.
