3:40 Chester Tips

Just four career runs for the 3yo, who can return bigger and stronger after a seven-month break. Excuses in his last two runs: a Group 2 contest and a £129K conditions race. He was a cosy novice stakes winner on his second start ??' the 2nd and 3rd were both useful types. He was a runner-up on his debut last Aug, behind a runner now rated a huge 110. He could be much better than his opening handicap mark of 85.

A winner on her only visit to Chester when she was ridden prominently and finished alongside the front runner, clear of the rest. Similar ride when winning on her reappearance on the AW but then couldn't get near the front at Bath when upped to Listed level last time. Back into handicap company and carries plenty of weight as a result but stall 2 is a huge plus and conditions will suit.

An open-looking sprint where speed will be everything, and the totally unexposed looks to have it in abundance. 12/1 might look big if he can overcome stall 9.

Won first two starts here last season before struggling on his last three runs at other tracks. Has been gelded, and a return to this track could see a big run. EW for a trainer that targets this meeting.
