Chester

Won 7f handicaps at Doncaster and Thirsk on first 2 runs returned to turf in 2025 and has held his form pretty well since staying on for fourth from a tough draw over C&D a fortnight ago. Fared better in that department this time.

Looked most progressive when winning handicaps at Kempton (6f) and York (5f; useful performance) early last season but lost his way at Sakhir during the winter and gelded ahead of this return. Has also had another breathing operation and is fitted with a tongue tie now.

Bred to be useful and looked well on his way to that level when winning a 6f maiden at Nottingham (heavy) in impressive fashion. Looked amiss in listed company on final juvenile start when amiss and in the right hands to bounce back as a 3-y-o.

C&D winner but eleven runs since last success in 2023. Off 6 months but his record fresh is very encouraging and he's also landed stall 1. Major player from career-low mark.

Five-time course winner but never really looked like justifying support when 9¾ lengths ninth of 13 to Solar Aclaim in handicap at this C&D (soft) 14 days ago.

Won the "Dash" at Epsom last summer and also tasted success at Pontefract 2 months later. Excellent reappearance in April but nothing like that form twice since, latterly attempting a repeat win at Epsom 3 weeks ago. This is easier and he's back over 6f.

Likeable mare who added to tally at Wolverhampton in March. Lower turf mark is justified but she gave it a good go when second of 13 in handicap at Goodwood (5f) 36 days ago. Back up in trip.

Sole success in handicaps came from this mark over C&D last summer. Has yet to peak in 3 starts upon returning this year and he's now back over 6f.

Course winner who showed more than previously this season when 5¼ lengths seventh of 13 to Solar Aclaim in handicap at this C&D (soft) 14 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Further 2 lb ease in the weights will help his cause and stall 2 a plus, too.
