Chester 13:55
British Stallions Stud EBF Novice Stakes (GBB/IRE Incentive Race)
Winner £20,384, 2nd £9,556, 3rd £4,784, 4th £2,388, 5th £1,196, 6th £592, 7th £300, 8th £148
2yo, 6 Runners
Flat,Turf , 7f 1y , GOOD, Good to soft in places (GoingStick: 7.7)
1. Burrito – Best odds: 7/10 with bet365
Burrito comes into this race with high expectations after an impressive victory on his Newmarket debut. His pedigree hints at further improvement, and he looks like the one to beat here, with top connections backing him up.
2. Wadacre Giorgio – Best odds: 11/1 with Betvictor
Wadacre Giorgio showed some promise when finishing well on his first run, but he’s facing a much tougher test this time. Despite that, improvement is expected, and the experienced Franny Norton could help him get involved.
3. Hillbridge – Best odds: 9/1 with Unibet
Hillbridge has been somewhat inconsistent but ran a solid race to finish third at Goodwood last time out. He’ll need to build on that effort to challenge here, but he’s one to keep an eye on if finding further improvement.
4. Kokinelli – Best odds: 33/1 with bet365
Kokinelli has struggled in handicaps and will need to take a significant step forward in this contest. The longer trip could potentially help, but he remains an outsider with a lot to prove in this field.
5. Marama – Best odds: 11/2 with Betvictor
Marama hasn’t been seen since last November but showed plenty of promise on debut. If she can pick up where she left off, she’s one of the more likely challengers to Burrito, especially if she’s fully tuned up for her return.
Verdict
Burrito looks like a strong favourite based on his Newmarket win and top-class pedigree. Marama poses the biggest threat if returning in form after a long layoff, while Hillbridge and Wadacre Giorgio both have claims if they can improve further on their recent outings.

Chester 14:30
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. Stapleford Park – Best odds: 13/2 with Betvictor
Stapleford Park has shown potential, notably finishing second at Ripon in June, but has failed to build on that performance since. A more prominent showing is needed here, but the talent is there if connections can unlock it.
2. Karl Carlston – Best odds: 6/1 with Unibet
Karl Carlston was slightly disappointing when only managing fourth as the favourite in a novice event, but he now steps up in distance. A better performance is expected on his nursery debut, with Franny Norton in the saddle, a key plus.
3. Captain Pickles – Best odds: 33/1 with bet365
Captain Pickles has been below par in recent outings after showing some promise in July. Now stepping up to 7f, he needs to find significant improvement to be competitive, especially after being well beaten twice in a row.
4. Sofian – Best odds: 20/1 with Unibet
Sofian showed a glimpse of promise when finishing fourth in a soft-ground maiden but needs to prove more to make an impact here. Despite this, he could offer some value at a big price for those seeking an outsider with potential.
5. Groundsman – Best odds: 11/2 with bet365
Groundsman posted a solid fourth in a novice event at Thirsk and now heads into a nursery with a good draw. The longer trip should suit, and he could be one to watch for Richard Fahey’s team, which has a good record in such races.
6. Claim To Glory – Best odds: 6/1 with Betvictor
Claim To Glory won an all-weather nursery last month but flopped as the odds-on favourite since then. He’ll be hoping the addition of blinkers can bring about an improvement and make him a live contender in this field.
7. Tiempo Alegre – Best odds: 8/1 with Unibet
Tiempo Alegre has been consistent but needs to learn to settle better to see improvement. He finished a respectable fourth on his nursery debut and could improve further if managing to conserve more energy early in the race.
8. Dr T H G – Best odds: 7/2 with bet365
Dr T H G ran on well from the rear to take third in his nursery debut at Epsom. The step up in trip should suit, and he’s a key player if producing a similar late charge, with a good draw in stall 2 to help his chances.
9. Marry The Night – Best odds: 5/1 with Unibet
Marry The Night put in an impressive second at Carlisle last time, running on well over 6f. The step up to 7f looks ideal, and with a good draw in stall 1, he has the potential to go one better in this competitive nursery.
10. Andalprofit – Best odds: 20/1 with Betvictor
Andalprofit has been uncompetitive in maiden and novice company so far but could improve now switched to nursery handicaps. He has a bit to prove but might surprise if finding progress at a bigger price.
Verdict
Marry The Night looks primed to strike after a strong second last time, with the step up in trip likely to suit. Groundsman should be a major contender with a good draw and recent solid form, while Dr T H G could also play a big part if reproducing his closing effort from Epsom.

Chester 15:05
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 15:40
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 16:15
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 16:45
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 17:20
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.
