Today on Sky Sports Racing: Top jumps action continues at Chepstow as Siog Geal features for Fergal O'Brien

The jumps action keeps rolling as the Your Site Racing cameras head to Chepstow on Sunday for a seven-race card.

A competitive and classy feature, the Georgebakerracing.com - Have Horse Will Travel Mares' Handicap Hurdle sees Siog Geal and Analiese lock horns.

Fergal O'Brien fields Siog Geal was an excellent bumper performer and has shown a decent level over hurdles. She made an encouraging reappearance when finishing fifth in a strong handicap hurdle at Leopardstown and this looks a good opportunity to get back to winning ways.

Analiese rates the chief threat. She ended last year with a couple of wins before chasing home Kilwaughter at Newbury on her return from a break and she should strip fitter.

4.30 Chepstow - Black Hawk Eagle faces Milan Tino

Black Hawk Eagle and Milan Tino clash in this Celebrating Helen & Sharons 60th Birthdays Novices' Handicap Chase.

Milan Tino has been a little in and out since tackling fences but plugged on nicely in deep ground at Leicester and might appreciate the better surface.

Black Hawk Eagle is yet to win in three starts over fences but bounced back from a lesser effort to claim third behind Bluey at Kempton and remains capable of better.

First Look, Uther and Azimpour do battle in the feature Group Three Prix Exbury at Saint-Cloud.

The Andre Fabre-trained First Look enjoyed a successful season winning a pair of Group races last summer before finishing a credible fifth behind Calandagan in the British Champion Stakes. He will appreciate this dip in class and is a confident selection under James Doyle.

Francis-Henri Garffard's Azimpour finished fifth in the Jockey Club on just his fourth start and returned from a break to land a Listed contest at Chantilly in October. That was a pleasing effort, and he will be expected to step forward from that.

Uther looked a horse with plenty of potential when winning the Group 3 Prix Noailles in April but failed to kick on. He will benefit from the drop in grade but has question marks to answer.
