14:05 Chester Listed (Class 1) 12f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (8.5/1 +6%) Al Qareem	8.5 8.5/1(+6%)	(1) Al Qareem 8.5/1, Three wins from 9 runs last year, latest Group 2 at Longchamp in October. Well held both starts in the Middle East earlier this year but no surprise if he bounced back after a break. Useful last term; two duck eggs this year but market support should be noted.
2	5 2nd (5) (0.73/1 +0%) Bluestocking	0.73 0.73/1(+0%)	(5) Bluestocking 0.73/1, Shaped well when placed behind Warm Heart in Newbury listed race/the Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot (1½m, good to firm) before collared only close home by Savethelastdance in the Irish Oaks. Decent fourth in Yorkshire Oaks since and obvious claims back down in class. Performed well in the Irish Oaks and Yorkshire Oaks; good opportunity back down in class.
4	3 4th (3) (6/1 -9%) Modaara	6 6/1(-9%)	(3) Modaara 6/1, Won a pair of AW novices, looking really smart when hacking up at Kempton latterly. Seemed to be feeling the very firm ground in Group 3 at Haydock next time and she remains capable of better. Possibly found the ground too lively when last seen; progressive otherwise; not ruled out.
5th	7 5th (7) (6.5/1 +19%) Sea Of Roses	6.5 6.5/1(+19%)	(7) Sea Of Roses 6.5/1, Useful filly who returned to action with a good second in Group 3 at Saint Cloud. No threat in the Musidora/Oaks next 2 starts but back on track when fifth of 17 in the Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot before good second on listed race at Hamilton. Bit to find with principals, however. Wasn't far behind Bluestocking in the Ribblesdale, then ran creditably in Listed grade.
6th	6 6th (6) (33/1 -65%) Empress Wu	33 33/1(-65%)	(6) Empress Wu 33/1, Sea The Moon filly who made a successful start in 10f Lingfield maiden and best effort since when 2¼ lengths third of 8 in Group 3 at Deauville (9.9f, good to soft) 48 days ago. Up in trip. More needed again. Steadily progressive at 1m2f; interesting upped in trip (bred to be suited by 1m4f+).
7th	4 7th (4) (8.5/1 +74%) Alba Longa	8.5 8.5/1(+74%)	(4) Alba Longa 8.5/1, Off the mark in impressive fashion at Windsor (11.4f, heavy) in May and further progress since, resuming winning ways in C&D handicap 6 weeks ago. Plenty to find with stablemate Bluestocking, however. Scored over C&D six weeks ago, taking record on soft ground to 311; still unexposed.

LTO Selection:

14:05 Chester Listed (Class 1) 12f Race Class Flow

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

This represents a significant drop in grade for the classy BLUESTOCKING, who was last seen finishing a highly creditable fourth in the Yorkshire Oaks. The daughter of Camelot can take advantage under ideal conditions and notch up a deserved first win since her debut at Salisbury last September. Modaara was disappointing when well fancied for a Group 3 at Haydock last time out and better can be expected now, while Sea Of Roses is a player based on the pick of her form.

An excellent opportunity for BLUESTOCKING to open her account for the season dropping markedly in class. Modaara rates the main threat having had excuses in the Pinnacle Stakes at Haydock.

This looks a good opportunity for BLUESTOCKING to record her first win of a consistent campaign. Sea Of Roses is second choice.

14:40 Chester Handicap (Class 3) 10f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (6.5/1 +19%) Box To Box	6.5 6.5/1(+19%)	(3) Box To Box 6.5/1, Landed a third Chester success of his career in June. Found just one too strong on next 2 starts (including to the smart Spirit Dancer) but must bounce back from a tame effort at York. Record here reads 11612; handles a soft surface, but wins have come on good/good to firm.
2	5 2nd (5) (4/1 +20%) First Impression	4 4/1(+20%)	(5) First Impression 4/1, Bumped into a subsequent winner on reappearance in May and went one better having been well backed over C&D last month. Up 5 lb in a deeper race but he's clearly in good nick. Off 90 days before winning over C&D last month; high on list if the ground remains soft.
3	9 3rd (9) (6/1 +50%) Arthur's Realm	6 6/1(+50%)	(9) Arthur's Realm 6/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable efforts since fitted with cheekpieces this summer, keeping on for fifth at Newcastle 16 days ago. Back up in trip. Running well lately, but losing run up to 13 and not sure this is his ideal trip.
4	7 4th (7) (18/1 +0%) Belhaven	18 18/1(+0%)	(7) Belhaven 18/1, Won 3 times in 2022 and left her reappearance effort well behind to go in again at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) in May. However, not troubled the judge more recently and is still 7 lb above her last winning mark. 7lb above her last winning mark and didn't convince in sole previous attempt at the trip.
5th	10 5th (10) (8/1 +50%) Innse Gall	8 8/1(+50%)	(10) Innse Gall 8/1, Made it 5 wins from 29 career starts when accounting for 6 rivals at Ayr (1¼m) last month. That was just about a career best but he was found out in a much deeper race at York 3 weeks ago, albeit denied a clear run. Back to winning form at Ayr last month, but held at York since; opposable from same mark.
6th	1 6th (1) (8/1 -14%) Sweet Reward	8 8/1(-14%)	(1) Sweet Reward 8/1, Just about better than ever when landing 7-runner handicap in the mud at Goodwood 3 weeks ago, keeping on well. Hit with a 7 lb rise so needs to crank it up another notch. In good form lately and likely to have his ground, but has to defy a 7lb higher mark.
7th	6 7th (6) (5/1 -25%) Baryshnikov	5 5/1(-25%)	(6) Baryshnikov 5/1, Not scored since spring of last year (over C&D) and doesn't help himself with habitual slow start. That said, he's been given every chance by the assessor. Three-time C&D winner, 4lb below last winning mark; may well get the solid pace he needs.
8th	4 8th (4) (7/1 +13%) Wisper	7 7/1(+13%)	(4) Wisper 7/1, Won on Brighton reappearance (9.9f) in May and placed twice from 4 starts since, latterly when runner-up at Sandown held up in a steadily-run race. That performance confirms she's in top form. Mainly running well since her successful return, but still 5lb above her last winning mark.
8th	8 8th (8) (12/1 -33%) Dark Pine	12 12/1(-33%)	(8) Dark Pine 12/1, Winless since 2021 but went close over C&D in May. Rather in-and-out since, though Windsor race last time isn't a run to judge him harshly on. Eased further 2 lb. C&D winner, but below form since going close back here in May; losing run up to 14.
10th	2 10th (2) (12/1 -41%) Southern Voyage	12 12/1(-41%)	(2) Southern Voyage 12/1, Landed hat-trick in 2021 and got over whatever ailed him at Hamilton when cashing in on a drop in class at Newcastle in September. Off the track since and has left Archie Watson, so well-being is an unknown for all he's joined another successful yard. 4-10 for Archie Watson; makes stable debut after a year off; watch market.

LTO Selection:

14:40 Chester Handicap (Class 3) 10f Race Class Flow

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

A comfortable winner over C&D last month, FIRST IMPRESSION can take this slight rise in grade in his stride, despite a 5lb rise. The six-year-old is proven on this ground and he may have too much for Sweet Reward, who arrives in great form, having won two of his last three. Newcastle winner Southern Voyage is another to consider on his first run for the Richard Fahey stable, along with the capable Box To Box.

WISPER is reliant on luck in running given how she's ridden but she's a mare at the very top of her game and she's just about the most persuasive option. First Impression and Sweet Reward both posted career-best efforts last time and demand respect, while Dark Pine and Baryshnikov lurk on a dangerous mark.

Course form means a lot. FIRST IMPRESSION (nap) showed his liking for Chester when winning over C&D last month and can defy a 5lb rise.

15:15 Chester Stakes (Class 4) 6f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (1.2/1 -94%) Thanks Forever	1.2 1.2/1(-94%)	(4) Thanks Forever 1.2/1, Kessaar gelding who knew his job and showed plenty of ability when third in a valuable maiden at York (7f) on debut 22 days ago. That performance is backed up by the timefigure and he's very much the one to beat with improvement on the cards.
2	6 2nd (6) (3.33/1 +26%) Winged Messenger	3.33 3.33/1(+26%)	(6) Winged Messenger 3.33/1, Left debut form well behind when second in 11-runner maiden at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 31 days ago, staying on. Step up in trip sure to suit on that evidence and may do better still.
5th	2 5th (2) (8/1 +0%) Ottoman Force	8 8/1(+0%)	(2) Ottoman Force 8/1, Land Force colt who shaped as if in need of the experience when sixth of 11 in novice event at Redcar (6f) on debut 3 weeks ago. Likely to improve.
6th	3 6th (3) (11/1 +45%) Takeover Target	11 11/1(+45%)	(3) Takeover Target 11/1, Showed more than previously under a change of tactics when fourth of 5 in minor event here in August. However, failed to repeat that effort switched to a nursery at Sandown last time. Cheekpieces back on.
7th	1 7th (1) (5/1 +9%) Ziggy's Dream	5 5/1(+9%)	(1) Ziggy's Dream 5/1, Knew her job when justifying support at Doncaster in April and looked unlucky not to win the Lily Agnes here next time. Largely disappointing since, however.
8th	7 8th (7) (20/1 +39%) Monkey Miss	20 20/1(+39%)	(7) Monkey Miss 20/1, Looks one for low-grade handicaps after this run.

LTO Selection:

15:15 Chester Stakes (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Third in the valuable Convivial maiden at York, THANKS FOREVER showed more than enough on his debut to suggest that he would be getting off the mark in no time. His prominent style of racing should stand him in good stead, especially at a track of this nature, and the son of Kessaar gets the vote at the expense of Beverley runner-up Winged Messenger. Ziggy's Dream, who is winless since her debut at Doncaster in April, appeals most of the remainder.

THANKS FOREVER emerged best of the newcomers when third in a valuable maiden at York last month and has to be considered the one to beat with improvement on the cards. Winged Messenger bumped into one that's gone in again since on his most recent outing at Beverley and ought to prove the main threat, especially with the step up to 6f likely to bring about further progress. Ottoman Force will be sharper for his debut and is taken to fill the places.

This can go to THANKS FOREVER who made a very promising debut when third of 14 in the Convivial Maiden at York last month.

15:15 Chester Stakes (Class 4) 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:52 Chester Handicap (Class 3) 5f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (12/1 -20%) Bazball	12 12/1(-20%)	(8) Bazball 12/1, Steadily progressive from a low base equipped with a visor, running her best race yet to gain second career victory at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 4 weeks ago, kicking on 2f out and keeping on. This her toughest assignment yet but consistency is hard to knock. Consistent in nurseries, but taking on better company from 5lb higher demands more.
2	5 2nd (5) (1/1 +39%) Due For Luck	1 1/1(+39%)	(5) Due For Luck 1/1, Perfect start when landing 9-runner Carlisle maiden (5f) back in June and looked potentially useful when following up under a penalty at Ripon (5f) 18 days ago, impressing with how he travelled/response to pressure. More to come now handicapping from plum draw. 2-2 and likely there is more to come from him; much respected from the inside stall..
3	3 3rd (3) (7.5/1 -25%) Hackman	7.5 7.5/1(-25%)	(3) Hackman 7.5/1, Confirmed debut promise when off the mark in a C&D maiden (heavy) in May. Placed twice at listed level subsequently and turned in another creditable effort when seventh in big-field sales' race at York (6f) 23 days ago. Not discounted making nursery debut. C&D winner and twice placed at Listed level, but has the outside stall on nursery debut.
4	4 4th (4) (6/1 +0%) Midnight Lir	6 6/1(+0%)	(4) Midnight Lir 6/1, Justified cramped odds with loads to spare in maiden company at Beverley (5f) and matched that level when runner-up in nursery back at that venue 3 weeks ago, finding only an improver too strong. Pacey sort who should give another good account. Consistent gelding; should run his race again, but a stiffer 5f or 6f may suit him best.
5th	1 5th (1) (11/1 +8%) Barnwell Boy	11 11/1(+8%)	(1) Barnwell Boy 11/1, Knew his job and quickened up smartly to make a winning debut at Goodwood (6f) in May. Failed to build on that in trio of starts since, weakening quickly when thirteenth of 16 in nursery at York 24 days ago. Drop into calmer waters a plus here at least. Has not built on an impressive debut success; best watched.
6th	2 6th (2) (9/1 -6%) Ganesha	9 9/1(-6%)	(2) Ganesha 9/1, Second victory at Hamilton (5f) when landing a gamble with a bit in hand on nursery debut in July. Good second at York (6f) later that month and feasible to think she found the competition too hot back at that venue 24 days ago. Worth another crack at 5f on balance. Both wins over 5f at Hamilton; return to this trip may help, but others look stronger.
7th	7 7th (7) (8.5/1 -55%) Leaves Of Grass	8.5 8.5/1(-55%)	(7) Leaves Of Grass 8.5/1, Invincible Spirit filly who continued theme of race-by-race progress when opening her account on nursery debut at Lingfield (5f, AW) 10 days ago, sustaining her effort well. Handy draw to work from for yard that have a smashing record at this venue. Claims. Has improved with each start, winning on the Lingfield AW last time; shortlisted.

LTO Selection:

15:52 Chester Handicap (Class 3) 5f Race Class Flow

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

DUE FOR LUCK was able to defy a penalty to follow up at Ripon 18 days ago, having made a successful debut at Carlisle the previous month. With that in mind, an opening mark of 83 might underestimate the Due Diligence gelding and he is taken to maintain his unbeaten record. Midnight Lir finished second to one that went on to occupy the same position in a warm York nursery next time and must be respected. Hackman heads the remainder.

DUE FOR LUCK marked himself down as potentially useful when maintaining his 100% record under a penalty at Ripon 18 days ago, impressing with how he travelled/his response to pressure and, with the prospect of more to come now handicapping, he can make it 3-3 operating from the plum draw. Lingfield-scorer Leaves of Grass and Bazball head up the dangers.

Preference is for the unbeaten DUE FOR LUCK, the least exposed in the field and with plenty more still to come.

16:25 Chester Handicap (Class 4) 14f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (11/1 -100%) Urban Outlook	11 11/1(-100%)	(2) Urban Outlook 11/1, Left previous form well behind when easily winning Lingfield maiden in March and matched that effort on handicap debut after 6 months off when fourth at Kempton (11f) recently. Significantly upped in trip and he should have more to offer on turf debut. Only raced on AW so far; bred to stay well so worth a second look now switched to grass.
2	7 2nd (7) (4/1 +20%) Dreams Adozen	4 4/1(+20%)	(7) Dreams Adozen 4/1, Off the mark in a Hamilton maiden (11.1f, good to soft) last month and again didn't need to find any progress when following up back in a handicap at Bath (14f, firm) 10 days ago, making all. Nudged up 3 lb and has to be respected in her hat-trick bid. Bids for a hat-trick from a 3lb higher mark; won't mind what weather does; high on list.
3	6 3rd (6) (12/1 -20%) Gifted Angel	12 12/1(-20%)	(6) Gifted Angel 12/1, Respectable efforts on the Flat all 4 starts earlier in the year and arrives having been successful in a pair of juvenile hurdles at Stratford and Cartmel last month. Can continue his good work back on the level. Comes into this in good form over hurdles, but 0-13 on the Flat and unraced beyond 1m2f.
4	1 4th (1) (5/1 +23%) Golden Maverick	5 5/1(+23%)	(1) Golden Maverick 5/1, Highly progressive this season, picking up his fifth win of the campaign in cosy fashion at Doncaster in July. Down the field in a better race at Ascot next time but quickly back to form when runner-up at Haydock (11.6f) since. In the mix upped in trip with cheekpieces applied. Enjoyed a fine time of it earlier in the season, but has stamina to prove; cheekpieces on.
5th	3 5th (3) (4/1 +43%) Order Of Malta	4 4/1(+43%)	(3) Order Of Malta 4/1, Much improved having been gelded when landing 4-runner Nottingham novice (10.2f) in July. Matched rather than improved his form on both subsequent starts in handicaps, latest when fourth at Newbury (12f, good) 4 weeks ago. Could have a bit more to offer at some stage. Staying on fourth at Newbury last time; worth a go over this far though not bred to get it.
6th	10 6th (10) (50/1 +0%) Lunacy	50 50/1(+0%)	(10) Lunacy 50/1, Opened his account at Hamilton in July and on the back of a breathing operation, shaped as if back in form when mid-field at Carlisle (9f, good) 16 days ago. Will need to improve to get involved. Twice held since winning at Hamilton; needs the step up in trip to bring about a revival.
7th	9 7th (9) (9/1 -29%) Edwina Sheeran	9 9/1(-29%)	(9) Edwina Sheeran 9/1, Enjoying a fine season, notching her fourth success of the year (and third at Ripon) 11 days ago, having the run of things but once again showing a likeable attitude. Up another 4 lb and she may well find a few too strong in this better contest. Record since the cheekpieces went on reads 21411231, but this trip appears to stretch her.
8th	8 8th (8) (6/1 -33%) Selenachorus	6 6/1(-33%)	(8) Selenachorus 6/1, Bolted up without having to come off the bridle when getting off the mark at Leicester in July before improving further to land 9-runner event there 3 weeks later. Ran creditably in pursuit of a hat-trick when runner-up at same track last time and she remains of interest. Won twice on soft ground at Leicester before beaten on quicker ground; conditions may suit.
9th	5 9th (5) (6.5/1 +41%) Lionella	6.5 6.5/1(+41%)	(5) Lionella 6.5/1, Winner at Sandown (1¾m) in June and quickly put a lesser effort behind to resume winning ways under a good ride at Lingfield (13f, good to firm) 5 weeks ago, striking for home as the favourite was getting organised. Up 4 lb and can be in the mix again. Successful in two of her last three starts but testing conditions would be a question mark.
10th	4 10th (4) (14/1 +0%) Nobody Told Me	14 14/1(+0%)	(4) Nobody Told Me 14/1, Sole success came at Doncaster in April and arrives on the back of a couple of lesser efforts, latest when tailed off at Ffos Las (16f, soft) just over 3 weeks ago. Cheekpieces retained and needs to get back on track. Well suited by soft ground, but has to put a moderate effort last time behind him.

LTO Selection:

16:25 Chester Handicap (Class 4) 14f Race Class Flow

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

GOLDEN MAVERICK posted another career best when finishing second to an easy winner at Haydock eight days ago. Recent efforts would suggest a step up in trip will be in his favour and first-time cheekpieces could elicit the required improvement to see him go one better. Dreams Adozen arrives in search of her hat-trick following wins at Hamilton and Bath. She ought to be more than capable from just 3lb higher, while Urban Outlook might be best placed to chase the pair home.

Cases can be made for several, but preference is for URBAN OUTLOOK, who matched his previous form on return/handicap debut at Kempton recently, and with that sure have blown away any cobwebs, Andrew Balding's charge gets the verdict to come out on top now faced with more of a test of stamina. Golden Maverick has enjoyed a fruitful campaign and he could emerge as the main danger, with Dreams Adozen and Gifted Angel another couple worth a mention.

The choice is DREAMS ADOZEN who still appears to be improving so can shrug off a 3lb rise for her latest Bath success over this trip.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (3.33/1 -21%) Roman Dragon	3.33 3.33/1(-21%)	(2) Roman Dragon 3.33/1, Bagged his fourth C&D success in July and he posted another very good effort here when second of 11 over 5.5f 14 days ago, caught only near finish. Goes well on soft ground and he's a player. Four wins and seven frame finishes from 13 visits here; goes on any ground; shortlisted.
2	3 2nd (3) (12/1 -41%) Glorious Angel	12 12/1(-41%)	(3) Glorious Angel 12/1, Rattled off a quick-fire hat-trick on AW around the turn of the year and she ran right up to the pick of her form on turf when second of 11 at Carlisle (6f) 16 days ago. Can go well again off the same mark. Holding her form, but losing run up to 12 and she may need the ground to dry out.
3	1 3rd (1) (2.25/1 +25%) Divine Libra	2.25 2.25/1(+25%)	(1) Divine Libra 2.25/1, C&D winner in July who has continued in good nick, second of 15 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good) 28 days ago. Up 3 lb but he ought to be in the shake-up once more. Two wins this year including over C&D; has run well at Newmarket the last twice; respected.
4	7 4th (7) (7/1 +0%) Momaer	7 7/1(+0%)	(7) Momaer 7/1, Gained his second win of 2023 at Leicester in July. 9/2, respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 9 days ago. Bit more is needed here though. Two wins this year; not so good last time, but still lightly raced and could bounce back.
5th	8 5th (8) (11/1 +8%) Mokaatil	11 11/1(+8%)	(8) Mokaatil 11/1, Has been operating some way below his best this year and only sixth of 11 at Goodwood (6f) 11 days ago. It's easy enough to look elsewhere. 12lb below last winning mark but recent efforts don't suggest he can take advantage.
6th	6 6th (6) (4.5/1 +10%) Oso Rapido	4.5 4.5/1(+10%)	(6) Oso Rapido 4.5/1, Got off the mark for the season at Redcar in August and recorded a good second of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Expected to be bang there despite a 2 lb rise. Has the inside stall, but ran poorly in one previous visit here; cheekpieces on.
7th	4 7th (4) (6.5/1 +54%) Dora Penny	6.5 6.5/1(+54%)	(4) Dora Penny 6.5/1, Got back to winning ways at Kempton in April but well below that level more recently and makes limited appeal. Has a good strike-rate (10-31), but below form since winning at Kempton in April.

LTO Selection:

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

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

DIVINE LIBRA has made the frame in both starts since winning over course and distance in July and it would be no surprise to see the son of Dark Angel return to winning ways here. That said, Roman Dragon has been knocking hard on the door of late and is an obvious threat to the selection, while Oso Rapido is first-time cheekpieces edges out Glorious Angel to be best of the rest.

A case can be made for a few of these but ROMAN DRAGON has a superb record round here so gets the vote ahead of the handily-weighted Oso Rapido. Divine Libra is another C&D scorer who must enter calculations in a competitive sprint.

This looks to be between C&D winners DIVINE LIBRA and Roman Dragon, the vote going to the former who is the lesser exposed.

17:35 Chester Handicap (Class 4) 12f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (6.5/1 +41%) Restorer	6.5 6.5/1(+41%)	(6) Restorer 6.5/1, Hasn't won since 2020 and failed to beat a rival at Haydock last time, so others make more appeal. Dual course winner (1m2f), but losing run now up to 29 and others are more compelling.
2	7 2nd (7) (3/1 +14%) Can't Stop Now	3 3/1(+14%)	(7) Can't Stop Now 3/1, 9/2, won 10-runner handicap at Carlisle (9f, good) 16 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter. Won over 1m1f at Carlisle last time; unexposed over this far and shortlisted.
3	2 3rd (2) (12/1 -50%) Way Of Life	12 12/1(-50%)	(2) Way Of Life 12/1, Has slipped to an appealing mark and produced best effort this season when runner-up at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago. Solid claims if he can build on that. Only just beaten off 2lb lower last time, but could probably do with the ground drying out.
4	1 4th (1) (5/1 +33%) Bashful	5 5/1(+33%)	(1) Bashful 5/1, Has enjoyed a productive campaign and it's easy to draw a line through his latest effort (not clear run) at Newcastle. Likely to give a good account if the race is run to suit. In good form in early summer, but not so good last time; chance if bouncing back.
5th	4 5th (4) (8.5/1 -143%) Chase The Dollar	8.5 8.5/1(-143%)	(4) Chase The Dollar 8.5/1, Well-treated and showed clear signs that he's back in top form when a smooth-travelling second at Newcastle last time. Cheekpieces go back on and he makes plenty of appeal. Twice runner-up here, but his trip on a sharp track may be an insufficient test for him.
6th	8 6th (8) (40/1 -21%) Heart Of Soul	40 40/1(-21%)	(8) Heart Of Soul 40/1, Has a good track record and is becoming well treated. He's been out of sorts for a while, however. Six wins for Ian Williams including three over C&D, but has lost his way.
7th	5 7th (5) (4.5/1 +25%) Page Three	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(5) Page Three 4.5/1, 9/2, first run since leaving Keith Dalgleish when fourth of 6 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 17 days ago, not much room and finishing with running left. Unexposed and has a bigger effort in her for this stable. 0-6; ran with credit when fourth on stable debut at Kempton 17 days ago; bit more needed.
3	3 \|U\| (3) (3.33/1 +17%) Compliant	3.33 3.33/1(+17%)	(3) Compliant 3.33/1, Consistent sort who produced another solid showing when runner-up at Kempton last time. Others look better treated but she should be on the premises. Has done most of her racing on the AW, but best turf effort came here; big player.

LTO Selection:

17:35 Chester Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

WAY OF LIFE bounced back to form when a head second over 1m4f at Wolverhampton two weeks ago and the five-year-old merits the utmost respect off a 2lb higher mark here. Can't Stop Now has to be of interest following his win at Carlisle late last month, while the consistent Compliant is likely to be in the mix once again. Others to note are Chase The Dollar and Bashful.

PAGE THREE has few miles on the clock and shaped better than the bare result (met trouble) when fourth at Kempton last time, so she's worth a chance to show that she's improved for her new stable. Chase The Dollar is well treated and back in form, so he's a big threat, with Way of Life also considered.

The choice is the consistent COMPLIANT whose record since handicapping reads 1213322. She remains unexposed on turf.
