13:30 Chester (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Warrior Lion made the frame over 1m2f at Doncaster last month and takes a step back up in trip, which looks a good move and he has to be respected. However, KARTHON improved in first-time cheekpieces to hit the woodwork at Southwell most recently and could take advantage of an unchanged rating. Previous C&D winner Haliphon is another to keep an eye on.

The vote goes to the unexposed 3yo KARTHON (nap), who finished a clear second when upped to 1m4f at Southwell last time.

14:10 Chester (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

ORATORICAL outran odds of 50/1 when filling the runner-up spot on debut at Chepstow earlier in the month and is likely to have lots more to offer. David Loughnane's youngster has the plum draw in stall one and could prove hard to beat. Berkshire Boom failed to land a blow on his introduction at Salisbury, but it would be no surprise to see him take a step forward with the benefit of that experience. Suspended Sentence is another to note.

There isn't a standout candidate here and a chance is taken on PORT DARWIN who could improve significantly on his debut form.

14:45 Chester (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Style Of Life occupied the runner-up berth when bidding for a hat-trick at Pontefract last time and warrants plenty of respect. Eligible finished a close third at this venue earlier in the month and is noted, but ALBESEEINGYER looks the way to go. The six-year-old finished a respectable fourth at Doncaster last month and was dropped 1lb subsequently. She could get the run of the race and may record her seventh victory.

The vote goes to the progressive mare VIXEY who has won three of her last six, including a comfortable success over C&D last time.

15:15 Chester (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

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

SHOWERING will have gone into a few notebooks after running into trouble when fourth over the minimum trip at Southwell a couple of weeks ago. He won a novice race over this trip in May and the son of Showcasing gets another chance. Far Above The Law has to be of interest off the back of a creditable second at York, while Arabian Cobra arrives in fine fettle.

Showering is solid but the vote goes to BRIGHTON BOY, well held at Royal Ascot but interesting on the pick of his 2yo form.

15:45 Chester (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Secret Mistral made all at Haydock a week ago and could go well again, despite a 4lb rise. She'll likely be taken on for the lead here by the recent Newmarket fourth Night On Earth, and that scenario could play into the hands of BANG ON THE BELL. John Jenkins' sprinter went close over C&D a fortnight ago, despite having to be switched for a clear run, and another bold bid is anticipated.

The in-form SECRET MISTRAL is taken to go one better than in this race last year. Knicks may be the one to chase her home.

16:20 Chester (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

MAHARAJAS EXPRESS can be marked up for his recent success over C&D, given he was drawn wide. Ian Williams' charge hasn't had much luck with the draw once again, but looks worth sticking with in his current frame of mind and can confirm that form with third-placed Acrisius. The latter should prove competitive once again, while the speedy Over Spiced is drawn on the rail and cannot be ruled out with any confidence either.

This can go to MAHARAJAS EXPRESS, who has barely put a foot wrong all season and was successful from a wide draw over C&D last time.

16:55 Chester (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

KODIAC THRILLER has held his form well since he won in this grade at Thirsk four starts ago and reverts to this level with a big chance of gaining further success. Brave Nation is also a key player based on his consistent profile this season, while Duran is another solid option to consider.

This looks tricky but it might be worth siding with BRAVE NATION, who could be a big factor if this sets up for his closing style.

17:30 Chester (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

With a plum draw in stall one, GISELLES DEFENCE, who has gone well here in the past, is the first one on the shortlist. Having made all at Epsom last week, a 3lb higher mark looks very manageable and may not be enough to stop him from following up. Fellow last-time winners Ey Up Its The Boss and Finn Russell also warrant close inspection, while Meblesh completes the shortlist.

Plenty have chances but if the new headgear can trigger a revival from DUE TO HENRY then he too has a lot going for him.

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.
