Chester 13:30
CAA Stellar Earl Grosvenor Handicap
Winner £23,193, 2nd £10,877, 3rd £5,441, 4th £2,718, 5th £1,359, 6th £680
4yo+, 15 Runners
Flat,Turf , 7f 127y , GOOD (GoingStick: 7.4) (Watering)
🐎 1. Tarkhan – 40/1 (bet365)
Carrying top weight and returning from a long absence, this six-year-old will likely struggle to lay down a challenge. Previous campaign showed flashes of form, but this looks a bridge too far.
Tip: Unlikely to feature prominently.
🐎 2. Never So Brave – NR
Non-runner.
🐎 3. Gorak – 13/2 (bet365)
Sturdy and consistent, he placed well in competitive company and shaped nicely on seasonal return. Conditions suit and a bold effort is anticipated from mid-pack.
Tip: Should be in the mix if he breaks smartly.
🐎 4. Two Tempting – 7/2 (Unibet)
Tends to thrive at this level, especially over this trip. He has a solid strike rate at Chester and gets a low draw—ideal for his running style.
Tip: Live danger from the front. Likely to go very close.
🐎 5. Divine Libra – 4/1 (betvictor)
Carries strong form lines into this contest and boasts solid track experience. Ryan Moore in the saddle only enhances his claims.
Tip: Highly respected; expect a strong late push.
🐎 6. Cracking Gold – 16/1 (bet365)
Won stylishly last month but found the rise in class tough next time. May need to prove he can match the quality of this field.
Tip: Potential place chance with a clean break.
🐎 7. Yanifer – 8/1 (Unibet)
Proven on the track and distance, and enters this fresh. While erratic last term, ability to handle pressure when on song.
Tip: One for each-way players.
🐎 8. Transcending Glory – 12/1 (bet365)
Smartly handled by Murtagh, and this progressive type has been campaigned with intent. Could improve with cheekpieces refitted.
Tip: Sleeper threat if allowed to settle early.
🐎 9. Persuasion – 9/1 (betvictor)
Showed resilience when landing a recent victory and retains a good turn of foot. Big ask under a rise in weight, but clearly in form.
Tip: Not without a shout.
🐎 10. Kindest Nation – 14/1 (bet365)
Game sort who regularly puts in a shift, though this may stretch his ability. Decent draw, but might be more competitive in lesser company.
Tip: Others hold stronger claims.
🐎 11. Pearl Eye – 20/1 (Unibet)
Speedy sort with patchy recent form. Blinkers may sharpen him up, but improvement is required to challenge the principals.
Tip: Could surprise if things fall his way.
🐎 12. Spirit Genie – 14/1 (bet365)
Notched a win over course and distance previously, but hasn’t looked the same horse this season. Needs a return to past form.
Tip: Needs revival to be competitive.
🐎 13. Cheshire Dancer – 14/1 (betvictor)
Often gives a solid account and wasn’t disgraced in higher company last time. Has the potential to slip into the places.
Tip: Each-way material at attractive odds.
🐎 14. Yermanthere – 40/1 (bet365)
Form has dipped significantly, and despite prior successes, recent efforts offer little encouragement.
Tip: Hard to recommend in current shape.
🐎 15. Partisan Hero – 14/1 (Unibet)
Comes into this following back-to-back wins in lower grade events. Faces a tougher test here but worth keeping on side given recent form.
Tip: Could outrun odds if momentum continues.
Verdict
In a contest teeming with depth, Two Tempting is drawn perfectly and has the tactical speed to make all under ideal conditions. Divine Libra poses the biggest threat with strong support from the saddle, while Gorak looks ready to strike if the gaps appear. Those seeking a price might lean toward Partisan Hero, who could spring a surprise if he holds form.

Chester 14:05
Livescore Bet Handicap
Winner £50,960, 2nd £23,890, 3rd £11,960, 4th £5,970, 5th £2,990, 6th £1,480, 7th £750, 8th £370
3yo+, 17 Runners
Flat,Turf , 7f 127y , GOOD, Good to soft in places (GoingStick: 7.7)
1. Balmoral Lady – 12/1 – Best odds with bet365
Drawn wide and burdened with top weight, Balmoral Lady faces a tough task from stall 11. While her consistent form from last autumn deserves respect, she’ll need to find more against sharper rivals on a track that doesn’t favour late closers.
2. Dream Composer – 7/1 – Backed by Unibet
Returning from a promising reappearance effort, Dream Composer should be fitter this time. He’s an experienced campaigner at this level, but stall 8 might hamper his early momentum. Still, a bold showing isn’t out of the question if he breaks sharply.
3. Roman Dragon – 7/2 – Top pick from bet365
A course specialist with a front-running style that suits Chester perfectly. Although his last win came in lesser company, he’s been thriving this season and could dominate from the front again. Major player from stall 5.
4. Fair Wind – 11/1 – Best with Betvictor
Lightly raced and open to further progress, Fair Wind’s erratic profile includes a refusal to race, which raises some concern. If on best behaviour, his speed makes him interesting. Risky but talented.
5. Jer Batt – 5/1 – Supported via bet365
Boasting solid sprinting credentials, Jer Batt put in a respectable seasonal debut. From stall 9, he may find himself caught wide early, but a sharp break could see him contesting. One to consider for place money.
6. Manila Scouse – 20/1 – Value selection with Unibet
Hard to fancy given recent performances and poor finishing positions. Needs to turn form around completely and has been well held in similar races. Outsider with limited appeal.
7. Angel Shared – 8/1 – Well-priced at bet365
Still relatively unexposed, Angel Shared shaped encouragingly when third on return. Drawn in stall 4, he’s positioned to pounce if tracking the pace. Could well improve and surprise.
8. Fair Taxes – 5/1 – Backed by Betvictor
Five tips behind him and rightly so, as Fair Taxes keeps knocking on the door. Close finishes recently suggest a win is imminent. A perfect draw in stall 1 makes him a serious threat—definite shortlist material.
9. Balon d’Or – 16/1 – Bet with bet365
Capable on his day but recent efforts suggest he’s slightly off the boil. Needs to bounce back and might find himself outpaced against sharper rivals. Would need everything to fall right.
10. Dickieburd – 14/1 – Reasonable price with Unibet
Hasn’t quite clicked this year, although he’s not without ability. A draw in stall 7 gives some hope for a better tactical run. More of a place prospect than a winning chance.
11. Copper Knight – 10/1 – Attractive with bet365
A past winner at Chester, this veteran sprinter knows how to get it done around tight bends. He’s not getting younger, but his third last time shows he still has fire in the tank. Don’t rule him out.
12. Rosenpur – 10/1 – Top odds at Betvictor
Comes into this in good spirits after winning form, and looks to have finally clicked. With a light weight and a handy draw, he can’t be ignored. A lively outside chance.
Verdict
Roman Dragon looks primed to take full advantage of his favourable draw and could lead this from the break in typical Chester fashion. Fair Taxes is a major contender from the inside stall and should be right there at the finish. Angel Shared and Copper Knight represent value alternatives, but Roman Dragon earns our nod based on tactical edge and track record.

Chester 14:35
Virgin Bet Chester Stakes (Listed Race)
Winner £33,612, 2nd £12,798, 3rd £6,408, 4th £3,198, 5th £1,602, 6th £804, 7th £402, 8th £198
3yo+, 8 Runners
Flat,Turf , 1m 6f 87y , GOOD, Good to soft in places (GoingStick: 7.7)
1. Raneenn – Best odds: 4/9 with bet365
Raneenn comes into this race as the favourite after narrowly making all on her last outing at Yarmouth. She was strong over this course and distance when finishing co-third in her second start. Franny Norton in the saddle and Chester’s sharp turns should suit her front-running style perfectly.
2. Connie’s Way – Best odds: 15/2 with Betvictor
Connie’s Way showed promise when finishing third on debut at Hamilton and although she was outclassed next time out, there’s a chance she can improve further here. She has shown potential and should not be underestimated in this slightly less competitive field.
3. Miss Pocket Rocket – Best odds: 50/1 with Unibet
Miss Pocket Rocket hasn’t yet made a strong impact, finishing down the field in both of her starts at Hamilton and Thirsk. She’ll need a major improvement to be competitive here but could spring a surprise at long odds if progressing.
4. Radio Star – Best odds: 3/1 with Unibet
Radio Star was third at Lingfield in her last race and should continue to improve, especially now returning to turf. She’s shown enough to suggest that she could provide a challenge to the favourite, particularly if she makes the most of her solid early speed.
Verdict
Raneenn looks the one to beat based on her form and track experience, especially given her strong showing here last time. Radio Star is the main danger, having run well at Lingfield and likely to improve further. Connie’s Way has potential to make a step forward, but it will be tough to catch the favourite.

Chester 15:05
CAA Stellar Handicap
Winner £10,192, 2nd £4,778, 3rd £2,392, 4th £1,194, 5th £598, 6th £296, 7th £150, 8th £74
3yo, 12 Runners
Flat,Turf , 5f 15y , GOOD, Good to soft in places (GoingStick: 7.7)
1. Balon d’Or – Best odds: 11/4 with bet365
Coming off a strong victory, Balon d’Or looks to be in top form. With Sean D Bowen claiming 3lbs and a good recent run, this three-year-old has every chance of adding another win to his name. The wide draw isn’t ideal, but his speed can overcome this challenge.
2. Count d’Orsay – Best odds: 12/1 with Betvictor
Count d’Orsay returns to Chester, a track he knows well. Though his recent form is mixed, his proven track record here, including a C&D win, means he cannot be dismissed. Sean Kirrane takes the reins, which might help him get back into contention.
3. Thankuappreciate – Best odds: 12/1 with Unibet
Thankuappreciate has been running respectably without really threatening to win. He may benefit from the step back in trip here, though improvement is needed to challenge the main contenders. He is drawn well to have a say in the closing stages.
4. Lihou – Best odds: 14/1 with Unibet
Lihou has had a mixed season but is another who has enjoyed success at Chester before. His draw in stall 2 should give him a tactical advantage. If he can rediscover his best form, he could sneak into the places.
5. Dolly Gray – Best odds: 33/1 with Betvictor
Dolly Gray has struggled for form this season and would need a major improvement to be competitive here. With Connor Planas claiming 3lbs, he might find some improvement, but he is hard to fancy based on recent efforts.
6. South Parade – Best odds: 7/2 with bet365
South Parade has been in good form, hitting the frame consistently. Franny Norton’s booking is a positive, particularly around Chester where he excels. The middle draw should see him get a good position, and he’s likely to be in the mix once again.
7. Beauzon – Best odds: 33/1 with Unibet
Beauzon hasn’t been at his best recently, and although he has run some decent races in the past, his current form makes it difficult to back him with confidence here. He looks up against it in this field.
8. Hallowed Time – Best odds: 10/1 with Betvictor
Hallowed Time secured a win last time out and will be looking to follow that up here. The horse has shown glimpses of ability and could spring a surprise if running to his best form. With Cam Hardie aboard, he is one to keep an eye on.
9. Lahab – Best odds: 7/1 with Unibet
Lahab has been improving with each run and now drops into a more suitable grade. A better draw and the assistance of Faye McManoman should see this four-year-old go well, with a chance to break into the placings.
10. Smooth Silesie – Best odds: 8/1 with bet365
Smooth Silesie has been in excellent form, winning two of her last three races. Mark Winn’s claim will help, but the wide draw could be a disadvantage. If she overcomes the outside stall, she could well be in the frame again.
11. Maharajas Express – Best odds: 33/1 with Unibet
Maharajas Express has been below his best recently, and despite having some decent form earlier in the season, he doesn’t look likely to challenge the leaders here. James Sullivan will need to work some magic to get a good result.
12. Al Shabab – Best odds: 10/1 with Betvictor
Al Shabab has been disappointing of late, and while he has potential, it’s difficult to back him with confidence after some poor performances. Rob Hornby is a positive booking, but he needs to turn around his form quickly.
13. Canaria Queen – Best odds: 10/1 with Betvictor
Canaria Queen has shown glimpses of talent but has struggled for consistency. If she runs to her best form, she could be competitive, but recent performances have been underwhelming, so she may need to step up.
Verdict
Balon d’Or is in top form and looks the one to beat, though South Parade will likely provide stiff competition given his consistent recent efforts. Lahab is another with potential, while Hallowed Time could spring a surprise after his last win.

Chester 15:40
Powells Jewellery EBF Fillies’ Conditions Stakes (GBB/IRE Incentive Race)
Winner £12,740, 2nd £5,973, 3rd £2,990, 4th £1,493, 5th £748, 6th £370, 7th £188, 8th £93
2yo, 9 Runners
Flat,Turf , 6f 17y , GOOD, Good to soft in places (GoingStick: 7.7)
1. Roman Dragon – Best odds: 9/2 with bet365
This consistent performer was just touched off in a tight finish here last time and returns to a track he knows well. With a decent draw in stall 4, Roman Dragon should be in the mix again, although he may prefer a slightly longer trip.
2. Vintage Clarets – Best odds: 7/2 with Unibet
Vintage Clarets has a strong record over this distance and is attractively handicapped. His recent form may not look impressive, but he’s well-drawn in stall 9, and Jack Garritty takes the ride. The conditions suit him well, and he looks a leading player.
3. Radio Goo Goo – Best odds: 6/1 with Betvictor
A three-time winner at 6f on this course, Radio Goo Goo is stepping down to 5f, where he is yet to win. However, drawn in stall 2, he is likely to be in the thick of things and could go close if the drop in distance suits.
4. Night On Earth – Best odds: 12/1 with bet365
Night On Earth has four wins over this trip already this season, though recent efforts haven’t matched those heights. Franny Norton takes the ride, and with a solid draw, this six-year-old might be able to bounce back to form at a track where speed is vital.
5. Hyperfocus – Best odds: 16/1 with Unibet
Hyperfocus has a couple of wins at Chester this summer but has struggled to replicate that form lately. He returns to his preferred track, and Rob Hornby is aboard. If he can rediscover his best, he could be dangerous.
6. Almaty Star – Best odds: 9/2 with Betvictor
Almaty Star has been in good form this season, winning twice and running well in defeat. He is slowly creeping up the weights, but with Ray Dawson in the saddle, he should give another good account and is one to consider.
7. Cloud King – Best odds: 10/1 with Unibet
Cloud King won at Haydock in July but has found things tougher in higher-class races since. He remains lightly raced and may still have improvement to come, though he’ll need to step up to feature in this competitive contest.
8. Copper Knight – Best odds: 9/1 with Betvictor
Copper Knight is a veteran sprinter with four course wins to his name. He’s been given a handy draw in stall 1, and his mark looks lenient. Despite his age, he can still be dangerous around Chester, and his track record makes him a key contender.
9. Secret Mistral – Best odds: 11/1 with bet365
Secret Mistral has been in good form this season, including a solid effort over this C&D. However, she is stepping up in class here and is drawn wide, which could make things tricky for her. Still, she’s capable of running well if getting the breaks.
10. Bang On The Bell – Best odds: 25/1 with Betvictor
Bang On The Bell has shown glimpses of ability but is up against much stronger opposition today. He has been performing respectably on turf, but this rise in class could be a step too far, despite Connor Planas’s claim.
Verdict
Vintage Clarets looks ready to capitalise on his favourable mark and could be the one to beat, with conditions suiting him well. Copper Knight, drawn in stall 1, could also go close given his excellent record at Chester. Almaty Star is another with solid claims, while Roman Dragon should be in the frame once again.

Chester 16:10
Horse PWR Handicap
Winner £12,740, 2nd £5,973, 3rd £2,990, 4th £1,493, 5th £748, 6th £370, 7th £188, 8th £93
3yo+, 11 Runners
Flat,Turf , 6f 17y , GOOD, Good to soft in places (GoingStick: 7.7)
1. Dreams Adozen – Best odds: 5/1 with Betvictor
This front-running type has shown great form lately, finishing a strong second in two consecutive races at Chester. Well drawn in stall 2, Dreams Adozen should be a serious contender to make a bold bid for victory.
2. Gooloogong – Best odds: 12/1 with bet365
Despite a string of unconvincing results, Gooloogong is capable of better and might improve under Sean Kirrane. He’ll need to find some extra form, but the step up in trip could unlock improvement.
3. C’Mon Kenny – Best odds: 25/1 with Unibet
C’Mon Kenny has struggled this season and finished last in both runs. A visor is now applied, but there’s a lot to prove, and a significant turnaround is needed.
4. Percy Jones – Best odds: 6/1 with bet365
A consistent performer, Percy Jones finished a respectable second at Bath last time over a similar trip. Ray Dawson rides, and although drawn wide in stall 7, he has every chance to be involved in the finish.
5. Corsican Caper – Best odds: 9/2 with Betvictor
Corsican Caper secured a decisive win over 2 miles last Friday at Chester. He drops back in trip here but is respected with Sean D Bowen taking the reins again. With the momentum behind him, he’s a key contender.
6. Oman – Best odds: 20/1 with Unibet
A dual course winner at Chester, Oman hasn’t hit top form lately, finishing well down the field in his recent starts. He’ll need to rediscover his best, but his course experience could be valuable.
7. Samatian – Best odds: 33/1 with Betvictor
Samatian has yet to show much on the Flat and needs a marked improvement on his handicap debut. Millie Wonnacott’s 5lb claim helps, but this is a big ask.
8. Tailorman – Best odds: 5/1 with Unibet
Tailorman has been in good form lately, including a solid win at Ripon. Although he was a well-held third here last time, a return to this trip could see him back in contention.
9. V Power – Best odds: 25/1 with bet365
Still a maiden, V Power has been knocking on the door with a few decent efforts but remains winless. He was beaten last Saturday and needs to step up considerably to feature here.
10. Rock N Roll Pinkie – Best odds: 33/1 with Betvictor
Although a winner earlier in the season, Rock N Roll Pinkie has been disappointing in recent outings. Needs a major form revival to get involved.
11. Small Fry – Best odds: 4/1 with bet365
Franny Norton takes the ride on Small Fry, who was impressive when scoring comfortably at Epsom last time. He’s back up in trip today, and despite carrying a 5lb penalty, he looks capable of going close again.
12. Sophar Sogood – Best odds: 10/1 with Unibet
Sophar Sogood has been running consistently and finally broke his long drought with a win at Kempton. He’s up 3lb and back on turf here, where his record is less impressive, but he can’t be ruled out entirely.
13. Bollin Neil – Best odds: 33/1 with Betvictor
Once a solid performer, Bollin Neil returned from a long absence with a lacklustre effort. He’ll need to show significant improvement to be competitive here.
14. Surrey Force – Best odds: 7/1 with bet365
This lightly-raced three-year-old has been knocking on the door with a series of solid efforts, including a close second on the all-weather last time. With Mark Winn’s 3lb claim, Surrey Force could be dangerous stepping up in trip.
Verdict
Dreams Adozen, who has come close to victory twice at Chester recently, looks well-positioned to finally get his head in front. Corsican Caper, a recent winner at this venue, is another with strong claims, while Small Fry is respected after his comfortable success at Epsom. Surrey Force is also worth noting, stepping up in distance after several encouraging runs.

Chester 16:45
Powells Jewellery Handicap
Winner £10,192, 2nd £4,778, 3rd £2,392, 4th £1,194, 5th £598, 6th £296, 7th £150, 8th £74
3yo+, 11 Runners
Flat,Turf , 1m 7f 196y , GOOD, Good to soft in places (GoingStick: 7.7)
1. He’s A Gentleman – Best odds: 9/1 with Betvictor
After winning at Ayr in July, He’s A Gentleman has failed to hit the same heights in his latest outing. The drop back to 1m2f may help him regain form, but consistency is a concern.
2. Law Of The Sea – Best odds: 20/1 with Unibet
A former 1m4f winner, Law Of The Sea has struggled in his recent outings. He hasn’t shown much this season, and it’s difficult to make a case for him here unless he can rediscover his previous best.
3. Qitaal – Best odds: 4/1 with bet365
Qitaal has been running respectably in higher-grade races and should find this company more suitable. With Franny Norton riding on his farewell, there’s hope for a bold showing.
4. Chase The Dollar – Best odds: 25/1 with Unibet
Chase The Dollar won at Chester back in May but has been out of form in recent starts. He needs to find a major improvement to get involved here.
5. Arcadian Nights – Best odds: 20/1 with Betvictor
Arcadian Nights has shown flashes of ability, but his recent form has been inconsistent. Although well handicapped, he’ll need to rediscover some of his previous best to be competitive.
6. Bizarre Law – Best odds: 14/1 with bet365
Having put in two disappointing efforts, Bizarre Law seems out of sorts. His best performances have come on quicker ground, so conditions might be a factor, but he will need to bounce back strongly.
7. Spioradalta – Best odds: 14/1 with Betvictor
Spioradalta has not been at his best lately, and this step up in trip adds further doubts. He needs to prove his stamina and find some of his old form to be considered.
8. Mr Swivell – Best odds: 3/1 with Unibet
Mr Swivell, the 3-year-old with a progressive profile, has won twice from seven starts. Ray Dawson partners him again, and he looks set to give another solid account as he steps back up in trip.
9. Havanarama – Best odds: 11/2 with bet365
Havanarama ran below expectations last time at Newcastle, but he’s back over a more suitable trip here. If he can recapture his earlier form, he’s one to watch from stall 1.
10. Love Your Work – Best odds: 8/1 with Betvictor
A winner twice in June, Love Your Work was an eye-catcher when finishing fourth at Pontefract just days ago. He remains well-handicapped and could easily be involved here.
11. Bushfire – Best odds: 13/2 with Unibet
Bushfire produced a good effort when second at Carlisle last time and is on a favourable mark. Another good run looks on the cards, and he should be in the mix if building on that performance.
12. Sophar Sogood – Best odds: 10/1 with bet365
Sophar Sogood has been running consistently on the all-weather, but turf hasn’t been as kind to him. He faces a stiffer task here and will need to improve again off a 3lb higher mark.
13. Bollin Neil – Best odds: 33/1 with Betvictor
Returning from a long layoff, Bollin Neil ran poorly last time out. A multiple winner in the past, he needs to shake off the rust and get back to his best to feature.
14. Surrey Force – Best odds: 7/1 with bet365
Surrey Force is a lightly-raced 3-year-old with some decent form, having finished second over 1m4f on the all-weather. He could go well again stepping up in trip, and Mark Winn’s claim gives him a good chance.
Verdict
Bushfire looks a solid choice after a strong runner-up effort last time out and seems well-positioned to go one better here. Mr Swivell is another with strong claims, and he should relish the longer trip. Love Your Work, who caught the eye at Pontefract, also commands respect, while Surrey Force is one to watch as he steps up in distance.
