1	4 1st (4) (2.25/1 +0%) Perfect Play		2.25 2.25/1(+0%)																															(4) Perfect Play 2.25/1, Off the mark in a Carlisle novice last August and, gelded during the winter, resumed with an improved effort in a handicap at Beverley (1¼m, good) where he split a couple of race-fit and in-form rivals. Big player. Carlisle winner who made a bold bid in Beverley handicap on his recent return; big player.
2	1 2nd (1) (4/1 +27%) Razoni		4 4/1(+27%)																															(1) Razoni 4/1, Winner of 7f Newcastle novice in February and runner-up all 4 additional starts at up to 8.6f on the AW. Wasn't disgraced all things considered upped to this trip on turf debut at Redcar (1¼m, good to soft) and perhaps the forecast quicker ground here will be more suitable. Well held on turf debut at Redcar but he still has potential and is not ruled out.
3	6 3rd (6) (4.5/1 +0%) Orange Martini		4.5 4.5/1(+0%)																															(6) Orange Martini 4.5/1, Promise in couple of 7f maidens prior to an improved second upped to a mile in a Haydock novice in September. Failed to progress on return/handicap debut at Brighton (1¼m, good) but that run was probably needed and she's not discounted. Well-bred filly who still has potential and could kick on again in her second handicap.
4	7 4th (7) (6/1 +14%) Look Back Smiling		6 6/1(+14%)																															(7) Look Back Smiling 6/1, Off the mark for present yard in first-time cheekpieces at Newcastle (7f) earlier this year. Lost little caste in defeat when second in a 4-runner Nottingham handicap (10.2f, heavy) back from a 2-month break and forecast quicker ground here shouldn't be a problem (2-y-o debut win was on good). Exposed with a record of 2-13 but he went close over this trip last time; respected.
5th	2 5th (2) (12/1 -9%) We Could Be Heroes		12 12/1(-9%)																															(2) We Could Be Heroes 12/1, Shaped well in useful 7f novice events at Newmarket and Salisbury on first 2 starts as a 2-y-o. Has failed to progress since being gelded, though, and needs to get back on track now handicapping in first-time cheekpieces. Still unexposed but he needs improvement on his handicap debut; headgear added.
6th	3 6th (3) (6.5/1 -8%) Playactor		6.5 6.5/1(-8%)																															(3) Playactor 6.5/1, Has shown ability in a trio of novice events, including when fifth of 10 over this trip at Newmarket's Craven meeting (form is working out pretty well). Drop back to 1m counted against him last time and needs a second look returned to this trip for his handicap bow. Showed promise in novice events this spring and needs watching in market on handicap debut.
7th	5 7th (5) (18/1 +0%) Dragonball Prince		18 18/1(+0%)																															(5) Dragonball Prince 18/1, Stepped up on what he showed in novice company when a close third on nursery debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in November. However, has failed to build on that in 2 subsequent starts, including when upped to 12.3f on his recent reappearance here (heavy), and now tried in a visor. 0-6 and he struggled here (1m4f, soft) on his recent return; visor is now added.
8th	8 8th (8) (16/1 -33%) Eagle Prince		16 16/1(-33%)																															(8) Eagle Prince 16/1, Finally got the job done on his reappearance (first start following a wind op) at Newcastle (1m) in April. Decent sixth back at this trip in a Beverley handicap 11 days ago but fair bit to find with the runner-up Perfect Play on that evidence. Won at Newcastle last month but he was well held back on turf at Beverley last time.

LTO Selection:

17:15 Chester Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Few jockeys ride this track better than Franny Norton and he partners a likely type in PERFECT PLAY here. A Carlisle novice event winner last term, he shaped really well in defeat at Beverley over this trip on his return and looks capable of winning off his present mark. We Could Be Heroes and Orange Martini should also come on for their recent reappearances and look feasibly treated.

Several of these are appealing but PERFECT PLAY gets the nod on the back of his solid reappearance second at Beverley and he could prove hard to peg back round here. Next on the list is Razoni, who probably didn't show his full hand switched to turf at Redcar where he took a bump and became unbalanced at a crucial stage of the race. Look Back Smiling and Orange Martini both have claims, while handicap debutant Playactor is also worthy of consideration.

The vote goes to the generally progressive PERFECT PLAY, who made a bold bid when a close second at Beverley on his recent return

1	8 1st (8) (9/1 -20%) The Nu Form Way		9 9/1(-20%)																															(8) The Nu Form Way 9/1, Bagged a C&D handicap from 3 lb lower mark upon joining this yard last summer and resumed winning ways on penultimate start at Beverley (10f) last month, just holding on. Latest third behind Greystoke over C&D was a solid display and he's entitled to be in the mix again. Won at Beverley before his third behind Greystoke over C&D latest; thereabouts again.
2	1 2nd (1) (12/1 -85%) Lizzie Jean		12 12/1(-85%)																															(1) Lizzie Jean 12/1, Bright start on AW last year, gaining second career victory at Southwell (11.1f) in July. Flying too high in St Leger next start and having disappointed back in calmer waters in October she did run respectably on return at Kempton in April. Each-way possibilities back on turf. Dual AW winner but she still has something to prove on turf and others are preferred.
3	9 3rd (9) (6.5/1 +35%) Chillhi		6.5 6.5/1(+35%)																															(9) Chillhi 6.5/1, Successful twice from 6 starts at 2 yrs (both on AW) and left his reappearance run well behind when finishing close-up fifth at Ascot (10f) 2 weeks ago, the modest pace not playing to his strengths. Upped further in trip now which could well help. 2-2 on AW but he's 0-6 on turf and is untried at this trip; others preferred.
4	3 4th (3) (14/1 +0%) Zealandia		14 14/1(+0%)																															(3) Zealandia 14/1, French recruit who returned from 7 months off to spring a 33/1 surprise on his York stable debut last June. Easy to back and well held both starts so far this campaign and whilst his mark is easing, he's probably best watched for the time being. Drops back in grade off only 1lb higher than for last win but he needs a major revival.
5th	6 5th (6) (18/1 -64%) Wynter Wildes		18 18/1(-64%)																															(6) Wynter Wildes 18/1, Fairly useful sort who is on a fair mark and reappearance fourth at Chelmsford in April wasn't devoid of encouragement. Shade underwhelming when seventh in 8-runner Ascot handicap (10f) since but she's gone well over this C&D previously, so bounce back distinctly possible. Has mixed record since last win and was beaten 14l at Ascot latest; others more convincing.
6th	4 6th (4) (2/1 +27%) Greystoke		2 2/1(+27%)																															(4) Greystoke 2/1, Model of consistency on AW since the turn of the year and justified good support back on turf when landing C&D apprentice handicap 2 weeks ago. Excellent apprentice off-sets 3 of his subsequent 5 lb rise and he's a big player once more. Has been in good form back on the Flat this year including a C&D win last time; key player.
7th	7 7th (7) (40/1 -43%) Restorer		40 40/1(-43%)																															(7) Restorer 40/1, Course winner who is now firmly into the veteran stage and whilst he ran with credit on occasions last season, his losing run now stretches back to 2020. Has gone well fresh in the past but others arrive with more pressing claims. 11yo who hasn't won since 2020 and looks opposable back from 211 days off.
8th	5 8th (5) (25/1 -56%) Blistering Barney		25 25/1(-56%)																															(5) Blistering Barney 25/1, Hit the target 3 times, including a Class 2 Nottingham handicap (1¾m, good) in September. Shaped as if needing the run over an inadequate trip on return at Haydock (10f) in April but present mark demands more now in any case. Made a low-key return at Haydock but has claims if he can recapture his peak form.
9th	2 9th (2) (25/1 -150%) Knight Of Honour		25 25/1(-150%)																															(2) Knight Of Honour 25/1, Winner of minor event on yard debut at Sakhir (9.9f) in January. Exploits rather mixed since, good third at Thirsk (12f) on penultimate start but shade disappointing at Hamilton (11f) 2 weeks ago. Needs to bounce back. Dual winner but he was well below form at Hamilton latest and needs to get back near best.
10th	10 10th (10) (2.5/1 +9%) Demilion		2.5 2.5/1(+9%)																															(10) Demilion 2.5/1, Winning handicap debut at Wolverhampton in January and built on that in defeat subsequently, strong at the trip when runner-up in a C&D handicap (heavy) earlier this month. Type to keep on improving for this yard and has to be of interest as one of only two 3-y-o's in the line-up. Wolverhampton winner who was a close second over C&D last time; shortlisted.

17:45 Chester Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Greystoke advertised his present well-being with a smooth triumph over C&D (The Nu Form Way behind in third) but the combination of a higher mark and faster ground may leave him vulnerable. Demilion is an obvious alternative after a narrow defeat over track and trip last time but it may pay to take a chance on this return to 1m4f sparking WYNTER WILDES back to life off a falling mark.

DEMILION is steadily going the right way in middle-distance handicaps, like many from the Johnston yard and, having run just about his best race yet when runner-up over C&D earlier this month, he looks to hold sound claims of going one place better taking on his elders for the first time. Greystoke, a winner himself over C&D recently, looks a big threat, with Chillhi and The Nu Form Way next best.

The vote goes to GREYSTOKE, who has done well back on the Flat this year including a clearcut win over C&D last time.

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.
