1	5 1st (5) (11/1 +21%) Two Tempting		11 11/1(+21%)																															(5) Two Tempting 11/1, Cracking start to 2024, making it 4 wins from first 5 starts of the campaign when narrowly prevailing at Sandown in June. Was going well when denied a clear run at a crucial stage in a valuable Glorious Goodwood handicap (1m, firm) last time and he's one to consider off the same mark. Has won four times this year and unlucky in Golden Mile last time; could be thereabouts.
2	6 2nd (6) (9/1 +36%) Divine Libra		9 9/1(+36%)																															(6) Divine Libra 9/1, Had a solid 3-y-o season and took it up another notch when making it 2-4 here in May. Followed that with a good third to Carrytheone at Newmarket 10 days later and by no means disgraced at Ascot last time, but he hasn't been treated kindly by the draw. Drawn wide but same story here in May when he won in convincing fashion; not discounted.
3	7 3rd (7) (6/1 +76%) Gorak		6 6/1(+76%)																															(7) Gorak 6/1, Dual 7f winner in the first half of last season and fine effort when splitting Carrytheone and Divine Libra following a three-way photo at Newmarket during the spring. Back to form when a close third to an unexposed Godolphin filly at Epsom (7f, good) on Monday and he's not without each-way hope. Close third of six at Epsom on Monday and he might not be far away.
4	1 4th (1) (11/2 +8%) Carrytheone		5.5 11/2(+8%)																															(1) Carrytheone 11/2, String of creditable efforts in big handicaps prior to getting on top close home at Chepstow (7f, good to soft) earlier this month. Shaped well turned out again quickly under a penalty when third of 10 at Ascot (1m, good to firm) 2 days later and will surely go close, provided he gets the breaks. Consistent sort who has won twice this season; good third at Ascot last time; solid claims.
5th	8 5th (8) (6/1 +33%) Yanifer		6 6/1(+33%)																															(8) Yanifer 6/1, More than paid his way in 2022, winning 4 times. Limited to just 2 runs last year but has proved that his ability remains intact this season, notching second success in a 7f handicap here last time. This is tougher up 4 lb but he's well-drawn and shouldn't be too far away. Two-time course winner, the latest four weeks ago, and he's one to consider.
6th	15 6th (15) (9/2 +36%) Under Siege		4.5 9/2(+36%)																															(15) Under Siege 9/2, Chased home the smart Economics on debut at Newbury in April and opened his account when landing the odds in a Chelmsford maiden 16 days ago. Good deal more will be needed if he's to follow up on this handicap bow, but he's unexposed, in good hands and stall 3 is another positive factor. Had to work hard for odds-on AW maiden win but this 3yo is of interest on spring promise.
7th	4 7th (4) (20/1 -67%) Spangled Mac		20 20/1(-67%)																															(4) Spangled Mac 20/1, Hit the target twice in 2023 and showed the benefit of his outings at Hamilton and Ascot last month when beaten just over a length into fourth back up to 7f in a Newbury handicap (good to firm) a fortnight ago. Not ideally drawn but place possibilities if the cards drop right. Returned to form when 4th at Newbury; his draw could have been better but he's a possible.
8th	14 8th (14) (12/1 +40%) Spirit Genie		12 12/1(+40%)																															(14) Spirit Genie 12/1, Has shown improved form this year, making it back-to-back wins when getting up late to score over 7f here in May. Creditable sixth of 11 behind Yanifer back here last time and he's again well-drawn but others look better treated all the same. Completed double when winning here in May; sixth here last time; has to improve on that.
9th	17 9th (17) (50/1 -52%) Reidh		50 50/1(-52%)																															(17) Reidh 50/1, Produced a career-best when winning 16-runner handicap at Galway (7f, good to soft) late last month, despite conceding first run. Wasn't disgraced on the AW next time but he's on a tough-looking mark now and stall 16 is hardly helpful. Won two in a row this summer; only fifth at Newcastle last time but retains potential.
10th	16 10th (16) (9/1 +36%) Boardman		9 9/1(+36%)																															(16) Boardman 9/1, This multiple C&D winner has slipped to a dangerous mark and very nearly capitalised at Haydock on penultimate start. Not in the same form at Newcastle next time but he's evidently more of a force on turf and is not ruled out back here from a handy draw. 8yo whose form has regressed this year, but he's a well-treated three-time C&D winner.
11th	10 11th (10) (20/1 -43%) Revich		20 20/1(-43%)																															(10) Revich 20/1, Has dipped to an attractive mark (now 4 lb lower compared to when scoring at Ayr last September) and he's a 4-time winner round here. Dangerous to fully discount, for all that he has yet to really get going this season. Four-time course winner but down the field on all four runs this season.
12th	13 12th (13) (12/1 +14%) Physique		12 12/1(+14%)																															(13) Physique 12/1, Winner of a Newmarket novice at 2 yrs for the Coles and looked better than ever when belatedly opening his account for this yard in a 16-runner handicap at Galway (7f, soft) last time. 3 lb rise fair and while there will be greater competition for the lead this time, he should give it a good shot. Made all in big field at Galway festival and this track should suit his prominent style.
13th	9 13th (9) (50/1 +0%) Good Heavens		50 50/1(+0%)																															(9) Good Heavens 50/1, On a good mark judged on 2022 exploits, which included a near-miss in a similarly valuable handicap off 7 lb higher at the Curragh. Lightly-raced and below par (in this sphere and over hurdles) since, though, and stall 15 adds to what already looks like an uphill task on debut for new yard. Well handicapped on old form but wide draw on stable debut and may be best watched.

14:40 Chester Handicap (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Yanifer was on target over 7f here recently and he is an obvious candidate despite being raised 4lb, while Carrytheone has been holding his form well this season. Preference, however, is for the unexposed UNDER SIEGE, who got off the mark with a determined success over 1m at Chelmsford last time out, and a mark of 94 could prove reasonable on his handicap debut. Revich hasn't been at his best this season, but he likes it around here and is on a dangerous mark.

If James Doyle is able to circumnavigate the inevitable congestion aboard CARRYTHEONE, the Michael Bell-trained 7-y-o may well prove the answer to this valuable handicap. He has done little wrong this season and did very well under the circumstances when third at Ascot three weeks ago. Unexposed 3-y-o Under Siege could be on a good mark for this handicap debut and is next on the list, though Physique, Boardman and Two Tempting are also feared.

The 6yo YANIFER has a very healthy 8-31 strike-rate and looked better than ever when winning here early this month. He can follow up.

1	1 1st (1) (5/2 +17%) Absurde		2.5 5/2(+17%)																															(1) Absurde 5/2, Smart dual-purpose performer, winner of the Ebor last year and the County Hurdle at Cheltenham (16.8f, heavy) in March. Low-key return at the Curragh 2 weeks ago but should come on for that (reportedly being prepared for another tilt at the Melbourne Cup). A flop on recent reappearance but he's a leading contender if he returns to his best.
2	8 2nd (8) (15/8 +25%) Caius Chorister		1.875 15/8(+25%)																															(8) Caius Chorister 15/8, Plenty of good efforts in defeat last year before back to winning ways in Group 3 at Saint-Cloud. Took form to a new level when just failing under a penalty in Sagaro at Ascot/Henry II Stakes at Sandown before too keen in Ascot Gold Cup and Lillie Langtry at Goodwood. Form pick down in class. Scuppered recently by failure to settle; the one to beat judged on initial form this term.
3	6 3rd (6) (9/2 +25%) Samui		4.5 9/2(+25%)																															(6) Samui 9/2, Fairly useful hurdles winner who has thrived since switched to the Flat, showing smart form when a 17-length winner of 2m handicap at Killarney before backing that up when second of 16 in handicap at York 10 days ago. Remains unexposed in this sphere and a player with headgear applied. 2nd at York last week; this drop back in trip is a worry but he has cheekpieces first time.
4	3 4th (3) (11/2 +54%) Fairbanks		5.5 11/2(+54%)																															(3) Fairbanks 11/2, Progressive equipped with headgear, registering a clear-cut success from the front at Newcastle before regaining the winning thread at Newmarket (14f, good). Edged out only by an improving 3-y-o at Goodwood next time before not disgraced in the Ebor at York. Bit to find at this level, however. Progressed well this term until a rather muted display in the Ebor at York last Saturday.
5th	7 5th (7) (33/1 -65%) Shanroe		33 33/1(-65%)																															(7) Shanroe 33/1, Smart veteran who ran a career best when winning this race last year. However, this looks a stronger renewal and not seen since running poorly at the Curragh in November. Career peak when making all to beat his four rivals in this last year; off since November.
6th	2 6th (2) (40/1 -100%) Enemy		40 40/1(-100%)																															(2) Enemy 40/1, Smart gelding who was in good form early in the year, winning at Southwell in January. Last 3 starts have been poor, however. Should spring back at some point; Chester record doesn't strongly suggest it will be today.
7th	5 7th (5) (10/1 -82%) Real Dream		10 10/1(-82%)																															(5) Real Dream 10/1, Low-mileage sort who hit the target twice last season and made a good start to this campaign when second in 9-runner handicap at Newmarket (12f). However, disappointed stepped up to this level at York since so needs to bounce back after a break. Ran badly in June last time but had wind surgery soon afterwards; not totally dismissed.

15:15 Chester Listed (Class 1) 14f  Race Class Flow

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

Samui has few miles on the clock and he took another step forward when finishing second in a valuable staying handicap at the Ebor Festival recently. The application of first-time cheekpieces (to go with the usual tongue-tie) could eke out more from him, although CAIUS CHORISTER looks the one to beat. David Menuisier's mare has grown accustomed to plying her trade at a higher level and, having shown more than enough when fourth in the Lillie Langtry at Goodwood last time out, she can exploit this drop in class. Last year's Ebor hero Absurde heads the remainder.

CAIUS CHORISTER is proving difficult to settle of late but can get away with it dropped markedly in class here with main threat Absurde likely to need this again. Samui has quickly developed into a smart performer on the Flat and looks best of the others.

There are clear risks with the entire field. The drop back in trip is the concern for Samui and a chance is taken on REAL DREAM.

1	5 1st (5) (9/2 +31%) Balon D'or		4.5 9/2(+31%)																															(5) Balon D'or 9/2, Ran well back in a feasible grade when third at Carlisle 10 days ago. Back at 5f now and interesting if the application of blinkers draw out some improvement from this local challenger. 0-16 since 2yo debut win but placed on two of his last three runs (including here).
2	8 2nd (8) (10/1 -100%) Make It Easy		10 10/1(-100%)																															(8) Make It Easy 10/1, Has slipped to an appealing mark and wasted no time returning to form when third at Bath a fortnight ago. Worthy of interest. 0-11 since winning last July on her third start but she went very close at Bath recently.
3	2 3rd (2) (8/1 -33%) Fair Taxes		8 8/1(-33%)																															(2) Fair Taxes 8/1, Winner at Fairyhouse in June. 16/1, good third of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 30 days ago. Arrives in excellent form but has the widest draw to contend with. Has run well in two of his three handicaps but the widest draw could make things tough.
4	1 4th (1) (4/1 +67%) Due For Luck		4 4/1(+67%)																															(1) Due For Luck 4/1, Unlucky not to land a hot C&D handicap on return (Knicks won from Vince L'Amour) and ran well when third in the 3YO "Dash" at Epsom thereafter. Disappointing since, though, so has a bit to prove. Of interest on C&D/Epsom form earlier in year but not up to scratch on his 3 runs since.
5th	12 5th (12) (20/1 +39%) Bibendum		20 20/1(+39%)																															(12) Bibendum 20/1, 16/1, first run since leaving John & Thady Gosden when sixth of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, good) 43 days ago. Others are more appealing. Hasn't threatened on either start this year (stable debut latest) and others are preferred.
6th	6 6th (6) (6/1 -9%) Capo Vaticano		6 6/1(-9%)																															(6) Capo Vaticano 6/1, Debut winner who has run at least respectably on two of her three starts since, albeit only seventh at Newmarket on handicap debut last time. Needs to improve but low draw is helpful. Could do with breaking better than on handicap debut, but of interest on spring promise.
7th	4 7th (4) (14/1 -17%) Vince L'amour		14 14/1(-17%)																															(4) Vince L'amour 14/1, Bagged a pair of 5f/6f handicaps in the mud in April and another good effort at Haydock on penultimate outing. Didn't fire at York last time and has a tricky draw to contend with. Has a wide draw but he went close over C&D in May and was a good second two starts ago.
8th	11 8th (11) (16/1 -100%) Macanudo		16 16/1(-100%)																															(11) Macanudo 16/1, Yet to get his head in front for present yard and, while he wasn't disgraced at Newcastle last time, stall 11 makes life difficult. Tried in blinkers. Close second on four of his last six starts but has a wide draw and poor strike-rate.
9th	10 9th (10) (10/3 +56%) Call Glory		3.333333 10/3(+56%)																															(10) Call Glory 10/3, 16/1, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, good) 18 days ago. Has dropped in the weights and drop back to this trip is unlikely to be an issue, so worthy of strong consideration from stall 1. Showed good pace when fourth over 6f here in June; has the inside stall.
10th	3 10th (3) (28/1 -300%) Aidan Andabettin		28 28/1(-300%)																															(3) Aidan Andabettin 28/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in July. 5/4, below form sixth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 33 days ago. Probably found latest run coming too soon and he probably hasn't reached his limit. Won in good style on AW on first crack at 5f; subsequent run may have come too soon.

15:50 Chester Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

CAPO VATICANO has bags of pace, but spoilt her chances with a slow start at Newmarket on her handicap debut. Andrew Balding's unexposed filly will know more today and is taken to exploit a favourable draw if quickly away. Call Glory reverts to the minimum trip with a shout off his current handicap mark, while Balon D'or may improve for the addition of blinkers and is preferred to Wolverhampton third Fair Taxes, who has an outside draw to contend with.

CALL GLORY arrives on the back of a solid showing and shouldn't be inconvenienced by the drop to 5f, so he's worth a chance to make all from the plum draw. Balon d'Or is a danger along with Make It Easy.

The Mick Appleby-trained CALL GLORY (nap) broke sharply and showed bright speed when fourth over 6f here in June, and gets the nod.

9	9 (9) (7/1 0%) Where's Clare		7 7/1(0%)																															(9) Where's Clare 7/1, Improved for 6f when landing 6f nursery at Nottingham 11 days ago, unchallenged. That isn't a strong piece of form and stall 9 may pose a problem. Easily made all in recent Nottingham nursery; drawn widest today but not discounted.
1	1 1st (1) (11/2 -10%) It Ain't Two		5.5 11/2(-10%)																															(1) It Ain't Two 11/2, Fairly useful filly. Creditable sixth of 17 in nursery at York (6f) 10 days ago, faring best of those held up. Has had a few goes but should be a factor at this level. Limitations may be exposed under penalty but she has a solid profile and a good draw.
2	5 2nd (5) (5/1 +29%) Cressida Wildes		5 5/1(+29%)																															(5) Cressida Wildes 5/1, Progressive form in 3 runs, 2 lengths fifth of 13 to Englemere in listed race at Newbury (5.2f, good to firm) 15 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Return to 6f therefore in her favour and she's well drawn. Stayed on for fifth in 5f Listed race at Newbury latest; could play a leading role.
3	4 3rd (4) (11/2 -10%) Aviation Time		5.5 11/2(-10%)																															(4) Aviation Time 11/2, Flashed her tail but did everything else right when winning 11-runner novice event at Kempton (6f) on debut. Easily best effort since when excellent third of 27 in Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot and while she had an excuse at Deauville, she was disappointing in Group 3 company latest. Royal Ascot 3rd; not at same level since but drops in grade here; could have part to play.
3	8 3rd (8) (13/2 -63%) Raneenn		6.5 13/2(-63%)																															(8) Raneenn 13/2, 260,000 gns yearling, Kodiac filly. Closely related to winner up to 1m King of Scotia and half-sister to 3 winners, including 2-y-o 7f winner Andromaca and winner up to 1½m Over The Guns. Ignored in the betting but made winning debut at Yarmouth (6f) under hand riding. Lots more to come. 25-1 winner on this month's debut at Yarmouth and could have lots more to offer.
5th	3 5th (3) (13/8 +19%) Adrestia		1.625 13/8(+19%)																															(3) Adrestia 13/8, Found the Queen Mary too much on her second start but subsequent wins in a Yarmouth maiden and Sandown nursery (readily by 1½ lengths) confirm that she's pretty useful. Got it wrong out of the boxes at Newbury last time but a huge player if bouncing back from a handy stall. Disappointing in Newbury Listed but previous Sandown nursery win makes her a major player.
6th	7 6th (7) (66/1 -65%) Flicka's Girl		66 66/1(-65%)																															(7) Flicka's Girl 66/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in April but limitations firmly established since. Lots on her plate having moved yards. Runner-up in Lily Agnes here in May and well beaten the last twice; stable debut.

16:25 Chester Stakes (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

AVIATION TIME found the competition too hot at Ascot in a Group 3 sprint won by the useful Simmering. This looks more her level and Richard Hughes' inmate can make the most of the weight conceded by Teej A, who is penalised for winning the Woodcote Stakes at Epsom in May, but can still make her presence felt. Adrestia failed to recover from a poor start in Listed company at Newbury, though she remains unexposed over 6f, while It Ain't Two is another burdened with a penalty.

Despite being sent off at long odds, RANEENN created a very favourable impression when making a winning debut at Yarmouth 3 weeks ago and while the bare form needs improving on to beat a few of these, that looks firmly on the cards. Assuming Adrestia breaks cleanly this time, she's a huge threat.

Preference is for CRESSIDA WILDES who stayed on strongly for fifth in a 5f Listed race at Newbury and now goes back up in trip.

1	2 1st (2) (18/1 -80%) The Bell Conductor		18 18/1(-80%)																															(2) The Bell Conductor 18/1, A two-time 5f winner at Southwell and Pontefract this year who wasn't disgraced when fifth of 14 in the Dash at Epsom. Weakened only late on in the Wokingham and this sharper test will suit, but 5f may still be his best trip. Ninth in Wokingham last time; this is less competitive but doubts about his stamina remain.
2	5 2nd (5) (8/1 +11%) Roman Dragon		8 8/1(+11%)																															(5) Roman Dragon 8/1, Commenced 2024 with 6f win in Bahrain and ran another solid race when fourth of 11 in handicap over 5f here in May. Found the premier 6f summer handicaps too much the last twice. Cheekpieces quickly shelved. Drawn wide and recent efforts below par, but loves Chester and could revive back here.
3	7 3rd (7) (7/2 -27%) Garfield Shadow		3.5 7/2(-27%)																															(7) Garfield Shadow 7/2, Won his first three starts, including C&D handicap on reappearance in May. Solid fourth to Woodhay Wonder at Newmarket next time and looked a really uncomplicated ride when going in again back here last month, responding well. Up 2 lb in a better race but he's got to be of interest. 2-2 at Chester, gamely making most over C&D last time; should put up another bold show.
4	10 4th (10) (11/2 -10%) Paws For Thought		5.5 11/2(-10%)																															(10) Paws For Thought 11/2, Rattled off a quick-fire hat-trick last summer and took advantage of a good draw when adding to tally at this venue over 5f last month. No extra only late on over 7f here last time so he's clearly in good order. Chester specialist, winner and second here last two starts; should be in the mix once more.
5th	6 5th (6) (15/2 +17%) Way To Dubai		7.5 15/2(+17%)																															(6) Way To Dubai 15/2, Unlucky not to win with cheekpieces fitted when second over 7f here in May. Has struggled to replicate that since, looking a hard ride at Goodwood and visor now the headgear of choice. Stall 1 a help, at least. Inconsistent and winless in Britain; swaps cheekpieces for visor after poor run last time.
6th	4 6th (4) (17/2 +29%) Mister Sketch		8.5 17/2(+29%)																															(4) Mister Sketch 17/2, A useful 6f juvenile winner who had cheekpieces fitted for the first time when a good third of 6 to Raqiya in listed race at Salisbury (6f, good). Beaten by more than the draw at Goodwood and while he's fared better in that department here, his mark looks stiff. Disappointing in the main this year; needs gelding operation to have had a positive effect.
7th	1 7th (1) (9/1 -13%) Flaming Rib		9 9/1(-13%)																															(1) Flaming Rib 9/1, Smart performer at his best who kick started 2023 with victory in 6f Doha conditions event. Below par since though, trailing in last in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot and also failed to beat a rival in a C&D listed event this month, albeit he had excuses (bad draw and hampered). Little form this year but there have been excuses; 2-3 at Chester; impossible to rule out.
8th	8 8th (8) (14/1 -40%) Emperor Spirit		14 14/1(-40%)																															(8) Emperor Spirit 14/1, Each of his 3 career victories gained on AW but just as good on turf, running a cracker from the front when second of 13 in handicap at Ascot (5f, good) last month. Couple of lesser efforts since need casting aside. Pace-setter who was second at Ascot in July but has failed to repeat the form twice since.
9th	11 9th (11) (4/1 +33%) Wen Moon		4 4/1(+33%)																															(11) Wen Moon 4/1, Upped in grade and shaped quite nicely when mid-field at York (5.4f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Return to 6f no problem but does seem at very best with cut in the ground. Better than result at York; shaped well both previous visits to Chester; interesting.
10th	3 10th (3) (33/1 -267%) Mcmanaman		33 33/1(-267%)																															(3) Mcmanaman 33/1, Just about a career best when winning at Meydan in February. Respectable seventh of 15 in handicap at same venue (8f) on final start for D. Watson and he may just need this outing dropping back to a sprint trip. Won 7f handicap in Dubai in February; worth a market check on first start for new yard.

17:00 Chester Handicap (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Garfield Shadow prevailed in a bunch finish of a class 2 event over track and trip last month and it would be no surprise to see him go close off only 2lb higher. However, he might come out second best to WEN MOON, who performed with credit in a valuable handicap at York on his latest outing. He made the frame on each of his three previous starts and Ben Haslam's four-year-old is now 2lb lower than his last winning mark. The in-form and versatile Paws For Thought is another to note.

GARFIELD SHADOW can make it 3-3 over C&D if stall 8 doesn't prove an issue. Paws For Thought is another who has been in good form here, while Wen Moon might pop up again soon.

Last month's C&D scorer Garfield Shadow is respected but preference is for WEN MOON, better than the result at York last time.

1	2 1st (2) (9/2 +10%) Spirit Mixer		4.5 9/2(+10%)																															(2) Spirit Mixer 9/2, Clearly not the force of old, now 13 runs since his last win in 2022. Ran respectably when eighth of 16 in at York (16.2f, good to firm) 10 days ago and ought to be in the shake-up with his sights lowered somewhat. Close fourth in Shergar Cup race at Ascot (2m) two runs back; not disgraced at York latest.
2	8 2nd (8) (10/1 -25%) Dreams Adozen		10 10/1(-25%)																															(8) Dreams Adozen 10/1, Course winner in June but a bit of a mixed bag since, finding only an improving 3-y-o too strong fitted in cheekpieces here earlier in the month before disappointing at Nottingham (16f, good) 9 days later. Cheekpieces reapplied and can bounce back quickly. Often front-runner; 2-9 here, plus three 2nds; a little more persuasive at short of 2m.
3	9 3rd (9) (4/1 +20%) Tailorman		4 4/1(+20%)																															(9) Tailorman 4/1, Attracted plenty of support and finally came good in 7-runner handicap at Ripon (16f, good to firm) 4 days ago, staying on to lead well inside final 1f. Apprentice enlisted to offset the penalty and rates a player provided this doesn't come too soon. 2nd here; off the mark at Ripon (2m, good to firm) on Tuesday; 5lb penalty demands more.
4	3 4th (3) (17/2 -6%) Wind Your Neck In		8.5 17/2(-6%)																															(3) Wind Your Neck In 17/2, Best effort this year when neck second at Chester in June but is best in the mud and seemed unsuited by conditions after 8 weeks off when well held at Haydock (16.2f, good to firm) earlier in the month. Could well be up against again if the current weather forecast rings true. Went close against Rich Belief over C&D (soft) in June; all wins were on soft or heavy.
5th	10 5th (10) (22/1 -57%) My Harrison George		22 22/1(-57%)																															(10) My Harrison George 22/1, Belatedly opened his account at Ayr in July and ran to a similar level from just 1 lb higher when seventh of 15 in at York (7.9f, good to firm) next time. However, he ran no sort of race at Pontefract just under a fortnight ago and hopes pinned on a significant step up in distance. Recent starts, including a win, were over 1m; unraced beyond 1m4f.
6th	5 6th (5) (11/1 -120%) Rich Belief		11 11/1(-120%)																															(5) Rich Belief 11/1, Irish raider who confirmed promise of his previous run in May when successful in 10-runner C&D handicap in June, knuckling down well when challenged. Ran just respectably having been raised 5 lb when fifth of 10 to Sea Grey back here 7 weeks ago and should remain competitive. C&D win in June; possibly more to prove these days if the ground is not softer than good.
7th	7 7th (7) (5/2 +50%) Sea Grey		2.5 5/2(+50%)																															(7) Sea Grey 5/2, Hurdles winner at Catterick back in December and already won twice at this venue this summer. Better than he could show in his hat-trick bid here earlier in the month (badly hampered on rail under 2f out) so fancied to be in the shake-up back up in trip. Not proven on firmer than good; 2m and 1m6f wins here before hampered over 1m4f latest.
8th	6 8th (6) (15/2 -50%) Zimmerman		7.5 15/2(-50%)																															(6) Zimmerman 15/2, Confirmed bits of recent promise to capitalise on a mark that had slipped below his last winning one in 14-runner handicap at York (16.2f, good to soft) 7 weeks ago. Back up 4 lb and should make a bold bid to follow up. Close in this last year; won at York latest; limited appeal if ground not softer than good.
9th	4 9th (4) (50/1 -150%) Chase The Dollar		50 50/1(-150%)																															(4) Chase The Dollar 50/1, Cashed in off reduced mark from the front here (12.3f) in May and similar form when third at Kempton next time. Clearly not 100% when last of 18 in Queen Mother's Cup at York in June but ran a shocker after 9 weeks off at Windsor recently. Heads markedly up in trip. First turf win for ages was here (1m4f) in May; finished last on his two latest outings.

17:35 Chester Handicap (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Zimmerman got his head back in front when scoring by half a length at York last time and a 4lb rise may not prevent him from going in again. However, a chance can be taken on SPIRIT MIXER, who is a previous course winner and produced a fair display to finish a close-up fourth at Ascot two starts ago, prior to his well-held eighth at York. If the son of Frankel can run to the level of his penultimate start, then he ought to go close off a 1lb lower rating. Sea Grey completes the shortlist.

DREAMS ADOZEN has struggled for consistency since scoring here in June but his penultimate run when in cheekpieces was one of her better efforts so she's worth chancing back in that headgear here at the expense of Sea Grey, who can have a line put through his course hat-trick attempt earlier in the month. Recent Ripon scorer Tailorman and Spirit Mixer, who has his sights lowered considerably, can do battle for third.

Rich Belief's win over C&D was on soft ground and SEA GREY looks a better fit for today's likely conditions.

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.
