Zubaru is seeking a quick double. He won impressively just seven days ago at Doncaster, where he drew clear to win by 3½ lengths. Put up 7 lbs for today, however the authoritative style of his Doncaster win suggests he has more in hand over the handicapper at this level. George Scott is in fantastic form (striking at roughly 36% over the last two weeks). The race is over 7f, the same distance as his win last week. The ground at Leicester is currently Good, which suits his pedigree (Zoustar) and his preference for a sound surface, and there's probably much more to come.

Has a C&D win here. In March 2025, he won the 4-mile marathon chase. While today’s race is shorter (3 miles), his ability to handle the stiff Hexham climbs is a massive advantage. Running off an official rating of 112. This is the exact same rating he had when he won at Bangor last October. He is essentially handicapped to win if he produces his best form.

Arrives here off the back of a massive run in the Spring Cup at Newbury 21 days ago. In a huge field of 24, he finished a very close fourth, staying on strongly through the line. That performance proved he is in fine fettle. He rarely runs a bad race. In 10 career starts, he has finished in the top four on eight occasions. He is very reliable and holds excellent claims if his draw isn't a hindrance.

He has been off the track for 323 days, but crucially he has been gelded since his last run. This often results in a more focused and professional performance. By the legendary Frankel out of the Group 1 winner Izzi Top, he has arguably the best bloodline in the entire field. His win at Haydock last season showed he has ability when everything clicks. His only previous run at Ascot (in the King George V Stakes at the Royal Meeting last year) was disappointing, where he finished last of nine, but he runs off 91, which may prove lenient.

After a quiet two-year-old season, when he made little impact in novice races, he was a completely different horse on his handicap debut at Beverley 16 days ago. He justified heavy market support to win comfortably, proving that his opening mark of 60 was far too low. Trainer Alan King is adept at identifying middle-distance horses that are ahead of the handicapper. Barbury Boy is a son of Oasis Dream out of a Frankel mare (Franklet), a pedigree that screams stamina and class now that he is stepping up to 1m 3½f. Even with a penalty for his recent win, he looks to be running off a mark (OR 69) that still vastly underestimates his actual ability.

He is a perfect 2-for-2. He looked like a potential star when winning by 6 lengths on debut at Kempton and was even more impressive when defying a penalty at Newmarket last month, winning going away. He is already being nibbled in the betting for the Epsom Derby (currently around 33/1). This race is specifically designed to test whether he has the stamina and balance for the unique topography of Epsom. By the legendary Dubawi out of La Pelosa, he has a blue-blooded profile that suggests he will only get better as he steps up in trip. Today's distance of 1m 3½f is expected to be right up his alley.

While his recent finishing position (12th in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham) doesn't look great on paper, he was only beaten by about seven lengths in a massive field. He met significant trouble in running that day and would have finished in the top four with a clear path. He has a high cruising speed, which is a massive asset on a flat, galloping track like Haydock. He is running off a mark of 133. Given his early-season novice form, where he was beating useful rivals by 14 lengths, he can be considered well ahead of the handicapper.

After struggling at a longer 1m 6f trip at Musselburgh and a shorter 1m 2f at Newbury, he now tries an extended 1m 4f. Trainer James Owen has been in solid form recently, maintaining a respectable 20% strike rate over the last 14 days. His 2026 starts have been disappointing, finishing 12th of 13 at Musselburgh and 13th of 14 at Newbury. He needs to show significantly more spark than he did in April. Due to those runs, he's now on a very attractive mark based on his form last season.

Very consistent but has become a bit of a bridesmaid lately, finishing 2nd in 6 of his last 7 runs. He had a perfect pipe-opener at Kempton in late March (finishing 2nd, naturally). That has seen his mark edge up by 2 lb. Has landed stall 4 which should see Luke Morris able to grab a decent position and blinkers are applied for the 1st time today.

Zanndabad comes into this having finished tailed off at Aintree last month over hurdles which smacked as a prep run for this. Trainer Tony Martin is a master at plotting a horse for a big handicap like this. He has landed Stall 3. In the Chester Cup, this is gold dust. It means he can save every inch of ground on the inner rail. Off a lower mark than when finishing 3rd in this 2 year's ago and very well handicapped on that effort.

Finished 6th on his seasonal return at the Curragh last month. While that looks average on paper, he travelled well and led until the final furlong before tiring. That blow-out run should have him fitter for today. He is a high-class operator (OR 115) who was lightly raced in 2025. When he is right, his turn of foot is ideally suited to a sharp track like Chester. Winless in his last 8 outings and appeals as an each way alternative to Lambourn who's better over further and may be vulnerable on his seasonal debut over this trip.

Comes into this race in excellent health, having finished a solid 3rd out of 13 in the Rosebery Handicap at Kempton in late March. Prior to that, he won comfortably at Chelmsford. Has a history of settling much better when allowed to adopt a prominent or front-running position so his draw in stall 2 should enable him to take up a prominent position. Represents the efficient Balding/Murphy combination.

His overall record might not look spectacular at first glance, but his recent handicap debut at Thirsk was much better than the result suggests. He met significant trouble in running and would have gone closer with a clearer passage. Trainer Ben Haslam is fitting first-time cheekpieces tonight, and off the same mark I'd expect him to be competitive in this field if showing any amount of improvement.

Ran a cracking race just 17 days ago over this course, finishing a close 3rd of 14. She was gaining ground toward the finish, suggesting she is in peak condition right now. Has a win and several places here, and the long, flat home straight allows her to use her sustained finishing kick effectively. Only 1 lb higher than her win here last year.

Broke his maiden at the 17th attempt with a convincing win at Leicester over this trip. He seems to have found a new lease on life since stepping up to this 10-furlong distance. He has been raised 5 lbs for that Leicester victory, but he won by over two lengths, suggesting he might still be ahead of the handicapper if he maintains that level of improvement. Has run well at Windsor before (placing 3rd over a shorter trip last year). The forecast good to firm ground should suit him perfectly, as his recent win came on similar going.

Arrives on a massive upward curve, having won his last three races in a row to end his previous campaign. He is 2-for-2 in handicaps. Highly likely there's more improvement to come this season, although a lot will depend on how ready he is.

Ryan Moore will have had his pick of the O’Brien runners and has chosen Jan Brueghel over last year’s winner, Illinois. On official ratings, he is a beast. He is rated 125, which puts him a massive 9 lbs clear of his stablemate and primary rival, Illinois. In a Group 3 race, that kind of gap is rarely bridged. Having won the St Leger at Doncaster, we know he stays this 1m 5½f trip and beyond. Chester’s staying races require a horse that can travel easily and then kick on the turn, which fits his profile perfectly. His overall Group 1 form is better than any of his rivals coming into this Group 3.

Won this exact race last year off this mark. He has an excellent record at Chester with seven career wins at the track. Oisin Murphy takes the ride again and has won two of the last three runnings of this race. Drawn in stall 3, and 14 of the last 16 winners of this race have come from stalls 1 through 4. With speed merchants like Seven Questions (stall 1) and Ruby's Profit (stall 2) drawn inside him, Roman Dragon is perfectly positioned to get a tow into the race and utilize his late turn of foot.
