The drop to 6f has helped and , albeit in a small field , the number one stall is a help.
Only once down to this level in 4 years and was then behind Tangerine Trees , Captain Dunne and Tax Free so it was a pretty warm race of its type. "

The drop to 6f and the draw are both in his favour here so he is taken to recover those losses.
The hood is refitted today along with being down in class and the smaller field all being plusses. "

"The Doctor loves a winner at Chester and whilst this one may struggle to win , his recent form gives him a fine chance of being placed at fair odds.
Up 6lbs for his recent win at Newbury and in a better race means he will need to be at the top of his game to follow up but this race does not appear to have strength in depth. "

"He beat Encke over C&D at the main July meeting but although not winning since then , he has been more highly tried than here.
Possibly not at his best in 2 Group races this year when beaten by the progressive Universal , excuses could be made for the more recent of those so he is given the chance to atone here. but this level is well within him "

He is now ridden by Ian Mongan who won on him in a 30 runner class 2 race the first time he rode him and has managed a few placings since.
He ran well enough last time , finishing sixth , and the return to sprinting may be of benefit.
Although not the force of old , the assessor may just have got too kind ( or insulting ) by dropping him to 78. "

He does not appear harshly treated and is from a stable that gets 3yo's to improve steadily. He should prove too good for these. "

"The drying ground will play into the hands of this old campaigner.
Although drawing a blank last season , he had a couple of creditable runs most notably when second to Sir Graham Wade in the class 2 Mallard over 15f.

"He gets a massive pull from the favourite compared to thier meeting at the beginning of May and looks value to possibly turn the tables.
With a profile that indicates he does not remain in form for too long at a time this could be the time to catch him.
In general the better going will suit him at least as much as Jebel Tara. "

She will have come on for the experience and is likely to prove hard to beat here.
her dam was a winner at up to 10f so the step up in trip should be in her favour. "

"William Knight's charge has responded well to the fitting of a hood.
Her two best runs have come at this track over 8f and 12f and is now tried at 10f. She handles this strange track well so that should not matter.
Lightly raced for a 4yo , she was given an easy time on her season baptism and will improve for that.
Rachael Kneller was aboard when second here last year so the 5lbs she takes off is a bonus. "

"A reliable sort in this type of event , winning this race a couple of seasons back off a mark of 89. He then won off 95 sending his mark into three figures and rather unsurprisingly he failed to cope with that.
Only twice since then has he raced off lower than today's mark of 92 and on both occasions he was second off 91.
He is used to running in this type of big field dash and is potentially well drawn.
At the back end of last season he was just beaten by Kingsgate Choice who he would have met on 6lbs better terms today. He seems on favourable terms with a few that he beat last year so will hopefully make his presence felt here.
More precipitation would also help his cause. "
