13:30 Chester (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

A competitive event in which preference is for the admirable 11-year-old COPPER KNIGHT, who made an encouraging return to action when third at Beverley a fortnight ago. He is 2lb out of the handicap here, but is on the same mark as when narrowly denied in this 12 months ago. Jer Batt hit the frame in a similar contest at Musselburgh recently and is respected. The returning Balmoral Lady was progressive on testing ground last season but she is versatile and cannot be underestimated.

Irish raider FAIR TAXES (nap) has a much better draw than when third over C&D last August and he's the pick ahead of Angel Shared.

14:05 Chester (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

It was a promising debut performance from FRIO, who picked up well in the latter stages to grab third at Musselburgh last month. The son of Havana Grey should be more streetwise this time around and although drawn high, could use that experience to adopt a more prominent role. Luminare fetched 100,000gns as a yearling and she's of definite interest with Ryan Moore booked, while Somebody, who struck the woodwork at Southwell recently, could also have a say.

The attractively bred filly LUMINARE has a wide draw but Ryan Moore is on board and she is taken to make a winning debut.

14:35 Chester (Class 1) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Aidan O'Brien has an outstanding record in this contest, winning six of the seven previous renewals, and he looks to have yet another big chance with MOUNT KILIMANJARO. The Siyouni colt chased home stablemate Twain in the Criterium International at Saint-Cloud on his final start as a juvenile but was turned over as a short-priced favourite on his return at Dundalk in March. He brings the best form to the table though and will be tough to beat if bouncing back. Mirabeau, Calla Lagoon and High Stock could all be involved.

Aidan O'Brien has won six of the last seven runnings and Group 1 Criterium International runner-up MOUNT KILIMANJARO is the pick.

15:05 Chester (Class 1) 13f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

ILLINOIS took the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot last year and signed off his 2024 campaign with victory in a Group 2 at Longchamp. Aidan O'Brien's colt sets the standard with a rating of 116 and he could prove tough to beat. Al Qareem is a previous Group 2 winner and showed his wellbeing when scoring in Listed company last month, so it would be no surprise to see him have a say. Absurde managed fifth in the Melbourne Cup when last seen on the Flat and is another to take seriously.

St Leger runner-up ILLINOIS could be just the type of Ballydoyle 4yo to go to the next level this season and he gets the nod.

15:40 Chester (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

El Burhan took a step forward on each of his four starts last year, with his most recent effort coming when making the frame in a hot nursery at Goodwood. He sports a first-time tongue-tie after being gelded during the winter and ought to have a say, but SEX ON FIRE gets the nod. Richard Spencer's three-year-old won at Haydock a couple of weeks ago and is just 7lb higher. High On Hope is another to note.

El Burhan makes obvious appeal but hasn't been seen since the beginning of August so it may be worth taking him on with SEX ON FIRE.

16:10 Chester (Class 3) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Liberty Coach has landed stall one on his return to action, but he resumes from 4lb higher than when he signed off 2024 with an all-the-way win at Redcar. Furthermore, a wider draw isn't insurmountable and the well-handicapped AUSTRIAN THEORY makes plenty of appeal following his second over a mile at Redcar a month ago. Arcadian Nights and Dream Harder also hold solid chances.

Box To Box (second choice) and Austrian Theory have good form claims but wide draws so they are taken on with FOURONEOHFEVER.

16:45 Chester (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

LADY VIVIAN won as expected when she readily justified odds-on favouritism in a Southwell maiden in March and is the most attractive option switching to turf from a workable mark and handy draw for her handicap debut. A three-time winner on the all-weather, Spirit Of Jura could present as the biggest danger to the selection. Way Of Stars and Kuredu King also add some depth as potential improvers to consider.

Ralph Beckett's LADY VIVIAN saw off a next-time-out winner in a maiden last time and can follow up on handicap debut.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
