| Race | Horse | Form | Odds | Rating | Weight | Age | Jockey | Trainer | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 13:30 Chester | (1) Billy Webster |  | | | | 3 | Callum Shepherd | George Scott | 3-3 over 5f, the last two wins on AW; ran respectably over 6f at Lingfield on last appearance but he's lumbered with top weight in a warm race returned to turf; needs to resume his progress. |
| 13:30 Chester | (2) Exponista | | | | | 3 | Rossa Ryan | David Loughnane | Return to 6f looks a plus with 5f reappearance under her belt; however, she's handicapped on a Group 3 effort that may flatter her; unfavourably treated on the rest of her form. |
| 13:30 Chester | 2nd (3) Al Shabab Storm | | | | | 3 | Oisin Murphy | Andrew Balding | Solid 2yo campaign featured a win at Goodwood (soft) and respectable effort in Doncaster Listed race (heavy), both over 6f; below par on reappearance (7f) but may rebound with that outing under his belt. |
| 13:30 Chester | (4) Beyond Borders | | | | | 3 | Clifford Lee | K R Burke | Acts on any ground; productive 2yo campaign included four wins (turf/AW); solid second, splitting subsequent scorers, at Pontefract (6f) five weeks ago; respected off 1lb lower from the plum draw. |
| 13:30 Chester | 1st (5) Garfield Shadow | | | | | 3 | David Nolan | Richard Fahey | Two from two as a 2yo, winning 5f novice events at Hamilton (good to soft) and Newcastle (AW); should be as effective over 6f; unfavourably drawn on reappearance but otherwise looks a promising sort. |
| 13:30 Chester | (6) Tsunami Spirit | | | | | 3 | Benoit De La Sayette | Kevin Philippart De Foy | Gained his sole 2yo success at Kempton (6f, AW); creditable second in three-runner race over that C&D on reappearance; seems competitively weighted off same mark but now goes into a much deeper field. |
| 13:30 Chester | (7) Cargin Bhui | | | | | 3 | Callum Rodriguez | David & Nicola Barron | Disappointing favourite at Southwell (handicap debut) on latest AW start, failing to replicate the good form he showed in January; bit to prove from difficult draw back on turf |
| 13:30 Chester | (8) Call Glory | | | | | 3 | Alistair Rawlinson | Michael Appleby | Gelded since last appearance four months ago; 0-5 for current stable and looks exposed but has proved fairly consistent in handicaps (turf/AW); could go well from good draw. |
| 13:30 Chester | (9) Siobhanbrogan | | | | | 3 | Jason Hart | Hugo Palmer | Best to forgive her latest effort (bled from nose); progressive form otherwise and won at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) the time before; however, has the worst of the draw returned to turf. |
| 13:30 Chester | (10) Auric | | | | | 3 | David Egan | Hugo Palmer | Thrice-raced colt whose Kempton AW win is solid form (had a few subsequent scorers behind him); good second in Windsor handicap (6f, good) later in April; open to further progress and is one for the shortlist. |
| 13:30 Chester | (11) Winged Messenger | | | | | 3 | Hollie Doyle | Julie Camacho | Creditable second over C&D (good to soft) last September, then went one better at Hamilton; good third, clear of remainder, at Thirsk (5f, soft) on handicap/seasonal debut; solid claims off same mark. |
| 13:30 Chester | (12) Stash The Cash | | | | | 3 | Duran Fentiman | Tim Easterby | Recorded a clearcut win at Catterick (5f, heavy; off 8lb lower) on handicap/seasonal debut, leaving the impression he'll be as effective back over 6f; the type to improve further; likely player from handy draw. |
| 13:30 Chester | 3rd (13) Old Chums | | | | | 3 | Pierre-Louis Jamin | Tom Dascombe | Has form figures of 13122, all on AW, since handicapping; collared in the final strides over 7f at Kempton most recently; well drawn back on turf and the return to 6f looks favourable; should go well. |
| 13:30 Chester | (14) Macanudo | | | | | 3 | Franny Norton | Ian Williams | Off the mark in 5f AW novice contest in February when with Olly Murphy; has something to find on the balance of his form for new yard and is unfavourably drawn; opposed. |
| 14:05 Chester | (1) Arabian Cobra | | | | | 2 | Oisin Murphy | Hugo Palmer | 60,000gns yearling; brother to French 7.5f-1m1f winner Darlinghurst (including Listed), out of a 5f winner (Chester 2yo and AW Group 3); one of two newcomers for Hugo Palmer; heed the market signals. |
| 14:05 Chester | (2) Ettorino | | | | | 2 | Franny Norton | Craig Lidster | Finished only tenth of 15 in a substandard Brocklesby that hasn't worked out particularly well; besides the modest claims on form, he has the worst of the draw. |
| 14:05 Chester | (3) Herecomesthebear | | | | | 2 | Jason Hart | Hugo Palmer | 22,000euros foal, £65,000 yearling; by Kodi Bear; dam German 8.5f winner, half-sister to French 12.5f Group 2 winner Savoir Vivre; one of two newcomers for this yard; check the betting. |
| 14:05 Chester | 4th (4) Sir Geoff Morgan | | | | | 2 | Alistair Rawlinson | Tom Dascombe | Finished 1l second to Daisy Inthe Breeze at Brighton (good) last Wednesday, putting in strong late work; looked green and seems likely to improve for the experience; could go well from handy draw. |
| 14:05 Chester | (5) Daisy Inthe Breeze | | | | | 2 | Hector Crouch | Dominic Ffrench Davis | Held on by 1l from strong-finishing Sir Geoff Morgan at Brighton (good) last week, having appeared to know her job better than that rival; not sure to progress much but is nicely drawn. |
| 14:05 Chester | 2nd (6) Flicka's Girl | | | | | 2 | Rossa Ryan | David Loughnane | Made all for emphatic success at Wolverhampton (AW) on debut; beaten favourite (faded into modest fourth) at Bath since but this course may suit her better; has Rossa Ryan back on board and remains of interest. |
| 14:05 Chester | (7) Kodibeat | | | | | 2 | Daniel Tudhope | Paul & Oliver Cole | Justified favouritism with neck success under Danny Tudhope at Kempton (AW) four weeks ago; the form isn't working out well but she's open to progress, being a late foal (not quite two yet). |
| 14:05 Chester | 3rd (8) Lady Lightning | | | | | 2 | Hollie Doyle | Ed Dunlop | Led from an early stage and scored a shade comfortably at Wolverhampton (AW) one month ago; should take well to Chester and evidently has the speed to take advantage of the plum draw; interesting. |
| 14:05 Chester | (9) Night In Paris | | | | | 2 | Jamie Spencer | George Boughey | Promising effort from the front at Ripon (soft) where she went down only narrowly to the market leader, pair clear; not ideally drawn but holds a leading chance on bare form. |
| 14:05 Chester | 1st (11) Seraphim Angel | | | | | 2 | Pierre-Louis Jamin | Tom Dascombe | Respectable fourth in good-ground maiden at Newmarket's Craven meeting, having shown speed; likely to be suited by Chester and helps to give Tom Dascombe, who also runs Sir Geoff Morgan, an interesting hand. |
| 14:35 Chester | 4th (1) Blue Storm | | | | | 3 | Rowan Scott | Gemma Tutty | Absent since winning nicely at Southwell (5f, AW; off 7lb lower) five months ago on second start for new yard; may improve further, provided he gets the breaks (held up in rear the last twice). |
| 14:35 Chester | (2) Ziggy's Missile | | | | | 3 | Tom Marquand | Robert Cowell | Has form figures of 1121, all over 5f on AW, since handicapping; made all for comfortable win at Southwell most recently; progressive colt but has the worst of the draw returned to turf. |
| 14:35 Chester | (3) Indicate | | | | | 3 | Clifford Lee | K R Burke | Handicap debutant who seems worth his opening mark judged on Southwell success (5f, AW) two starts ago but is unfavourably drawn; has been taking a good hold and now wears first-time hood. |
| 14:35 Chester | (4) Midnight Lir | | | | | 3 | Connor Beasley | Michael Dods | Scored twice during a largely consistent 2yo campaign; seemed to need his Thirsk reappearance run; however, looks more exposed than many of these rivals and has a difficult draw. |
| 14:35 Chester | (5) Moonstone Boy | | | | | 3 | Andrew Mullen | Iain Jardine | Form dipped a tad last week but is normally very consistent (on AW/turf) and could well rebound; close second at Thirsk (5f, soft) the time before; nicely drawn and has possibilities in first-time headgear. |
| 14:35 Chester | 3rd (6) Due For Luck | | | | | 3 | Jason Hart | John & Sean Quinn | Went very close off this mark over C&D (good to soft) last September when bidding to go 3-3; regressed in two subsequent runs but looks interesting back here, from a good draw, on reappearance. |
| 14:35 Chester | 2nd (7) Vince L'Amour | | | | | 3 | David Allan | Tim Easterby | Made all at Ripon (6f, heavy; won easily) and Catterick (5f, soft; comfortably defied a penalty) the last twice, taking record since handicapping to 2-3; improving sharply and may well cope with new mark; respected. |
| 14:35 Chester | (8) Rainyniteingeorgia | | | | | 3 | Jamie Spencer | Alice Haynes | Raced three times last year for now-retired William Jarvis, making all under Jamie Spencer at Lingfield (5f, AW) the final time; open to progress in handicaps for new yard this term; one to consider. |
| 14:35 Chester | (9) Dandy Devil | | | | | 3 | Billy Garritty | Richard Fahey | Newcastle debut success (5f, AW) came at the expense of Kings Merchant; dropped away in closing stages at Pontefract (6f, heavy) since but may fare better returned to the minimum trip. |
| 14:35 Chester | (11) Kings Merchant | | | | | 3 | Oisin Murphy | Edward Bethell | Runner-up three times prior to going one better in Wolverhampton maiden (5f, AW) in March, comfortably beating a dual subsequent scorer; open to further improvement and holds strong claims from the plum draw on handicap debut. |
| 14:35 Chester | 1st (12) Knicks | | | | | 3 | Joanna Mason | Michael & David Easterby | Record of 2312 on ground softer than good, most recently second at Catterick (6f) on stable/seasonal debut; place possibilities off same mark, especially granted another slow surface. |
| 15:05 Chester | 5th (2) Beeley | | | | | 3 | Kieran Shoemark | John & Thady Gosden | Oaks and Ribblesdale entry; went very close at Nottingham (1m, heavy) last October on sole 2yo outing and similar form when second in novice at Sandown (1m2f, good to soft) 12 days ago; withdrawn twice in between, including last month, after getting rid of her jockey; should be suited by 1m4f+ and capable of better, but it's certainly needed. |
| 15:05 Chester | (3) Flying Finn | | | | | 3 | Tom Marquand | Adrian Paul Keatley | Opened her account in great style on handicap debut at Ripon (1m, heavy) and followed up comfortably at Doncaster (1m, soft) eight days later; bids for her third win in just over three weeks, looking sure to stay beyond 1m but she's not sure to get this trip and it's a step up in class. |
| 15:05 Chester | 1st (4) Forest Fairy | | | | | 3 | Rossa Ryan | Ralph Beckett | Oaks and Ribblesdale entry; 78,000euros yearling by Waldgeist; dam German 10.5f winner, half-sister to useful 1m6f winner; 100-30, stormed clear to win seven-runner novice at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in February by 6l easing down, slowly away but soon in touch in steadily run race and leading over 1f out; this company demands good deal more but she looks a good prospect. |
| 15:05 Chester | 4th (5) Galileo Dame | | | | | 3 | Dylan Browne McMonagle | Joseph Patrick O'Brien | Ribblesdale and Group 1 Pretty Polly (1m2f) entry; 125,000euros May 2yo purchase; flew home from some way back when second on debut at Gowran (1m, heavy) in October; stayed on strongly to go one better from Rubies Are Red in seven-runner maiden at Leopardstown (1m2f, heavy) four weeks ago, so she shapes very much as if this longer trip will suit; big shout. |
| 15:05 Chester | 6th (6) Lasting Love | | | | | 3 | Oisin Murphy | Andrew Balding | Oaks and Ribblesdale entry; 300,000gns yearling with a good middle-distance pedigree; third in maidens at Doncaster (7f, soft) in September and Newbury (1m2f, good to soft) 19 days ago, in the latter beaten less than a length after travelling best to lead over 1f out; bottom of this pack on ratings but likely to leave that figure well behind in due course. |
| 15:05 Chester | 2nd (7) Port Fairy | | | | | 3 | Ryan Moore | A P O'Brien | Big-race entries include Irish Oaks but not the Oaks; late foal by Australia; 15-2, well beaten at Gowran (1m, heavy) last October on sole start as 2yo, way behind Galileo Dame; vastly better when second favourite in 11-runner maiden at Dundalk (10.5f, AW) over there weeks ago, making most and staying on strongly when challenged late on; looks set for further progress and top yard has had plenty of success in this race. |
| 15:05 Chester | 3rd (9) Seaward | | | | | 3 | Hector Crouch | Ralph Beckett | Has Oaks and Ribblesdale entries; 460,000euros yearling; close at Newmarket last August on debut and made all from four newcomers in Ascot novice (1m, good) the following month; looked set for further progress but was firmly put in her place when 28-1 for Group 1 Fillies' Mile at Newmarket (1m, soft) in October; still early days for this daughter of Sea The Stars. |
| 15:40 Chester | 2nd (1) Agenda | | | | | 3 | Dylan Browne McMonagle | A P O'Brien | Has Group 2 entries, plus Irish Derby but not the Derby; by Galileo out of a Cheveley Park second; close third behind two stablemates in a 7f Curragh maiden (soft to heavy) last October; 11-10, looked better the further he went in maiden at Dundalk (10.5f, AW) six weeks ago, winning by nearly 5l; that was useful form and this late foal still has his best days ahead of him. |
| 15:40 Chester | 5th (2) Cadogan Place | | | | | 3 | Oisin Murphy | Andrew Balding | King Edward VII entry; brother to winners Quadrilateral (1m Group 1; RPR 115) and Quilted (1m4f; 76) and half-brother to three, notably Boardman (7f-1m; 108) and Thesis (1m; 102); 11-8 favourite and tongue tied, won six-runner novice at Southwell (1m3f, AW) six weeks ago, leading 2f out and keeping on well to hold on by short head from fellow newcomer Hidden Law, who has since put up a big performance; that was a most promising debut. |
| 15:40 Chester | 4th (3) Golden West | | | | | 3 | Clifford Lee | K R Burke | Derby entry; 2-2 as 2yo in a Newcastle novice (1m, AW) and an Epsom conditions race (8.5f, good); last of seven when reappearing on very soft ground for Group 3 at Longchamp (10.5f) last month failed to advance his cause and, although these are still early days, he now wears cheekpieces. |
| 15:40 Chester | 3rd (4) Grosvenor Square | | | | | 3 | Ryan Moore | A P O'Brien | Big-race entries include Derby and Irish Derby; half-brother to Irish Derby winner Santiago; had five or six-runner races for his three starts as 2yo, winning an 8.6f maiden at Galway and easily making all in 1m1f Group 3 at Leopardstown, with a creditable third in Group 2 Beresford in between; looks a smart middle-distance prospect, at the least. |
| 15:40 Chester | 1st (5) Hidden Law | | | | | 3 | William Buick | Charlie Appleby | Well-related Derby and King Edward VII entry; green but found his stride late on to be beaten a short head by Cadogan Place when they made their debuts in novice at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in March; breezed up from mid-division and strode out in fine style when winning a maiden at Newbury (1m3f, good to soft) 18 days ago, at 4-5 but nevertheless highly impressive; looks well worth his place in a Classic trial. |
| 15:40 Chester | 6th (6) Pappano | | | | | 3 | Kieran Shoemark | John & Thady Gosden | Derby and King Edward VII entry; Nathaniel colt who showed up very well in a maiden at Kempton (1m3f, AW) in December and gradually got to the front to score by 1l going away when evens in a novice at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) five weeks ago; this race demands a lot more but he's a strong-galloping type with improvement in him as well as plenty of stamina. |
| 16:10 Chester | 2nd (1) Castle In The Sand | | | | | 3 | Oisin Murphy | Andrew Balding | Six starts, runner-up in the last four; made the running on first three occasions (7f/1m) and always prominent when no match for a 4-9 shot over 1m2f at Windsor latest; has among the best form but vulnerable again. |
| 16:10 Chester | (2) Chortal | | | | | 3 | Kieran Shoemark | John & Thady Gosden | King Edward VII entry; fifth foal; Golden Horn half-brother to winners Kings Joy (1m AW 2yo; RPR 91) and Sense Of Humour (7f; 78); dam maiden (66) half-sister to 2,000 Guineas winner Footstepsinthesand, 6f 2yo Group 1 winner Pedro The Great and the dam of Group 1 winners Power and Curvy; from a top yard and needs a close look. |
| 16:10 Chester | 4th (3) Eben Zaabeel | | | | | 3 | Jim Crowley | Charles Hills | Stamina in the pedigree; behind at Newmarket last September; 16-1, travelled best 3f out in novice at Yarmouth (1m2f, again good to firm) last month but had raced freely and weakened into fifth of 11; that was still a much improved show and now he needs another. |
| 16:10 Chester | (4) Far L'Amore | | | | | 3 | Sean Levey | Brian Meehan | 55,000euros yearling; half-brother to French winners First Ray (1m 2yo) and Dazzle At Dawn (1m2f); 16-1, prominent long way when fourth of ten to impressive Chester Vase contender Hidden Law in maiden at Newbury (1m3f, good to soft) 18 days ago; a contender on that and should improve. |
| 16:10 Chester | 1st (5) Gallantly | | | | | 3 | Ryan Moore | A P O'Brien | Has big-race entries; by Frankel, first foal out of 2017 French 1,000 Guineas winner; short-priced favourite for all three starts, making most when runner-up in 1m maidens in the mud at Naas and Leopardstown on last two occasions; that's still among the best form in this field and the step up in trip offers additional hope. |
| 16:10 Chester | 3rd (6) Liam Swagger | | | | | 3 | Callum Shepherd | James Owen | Broke out of the stalls on intended second start; hooded when next seen 11 days later, going close in a sustained duel for nine-runner maiden at Windsor (1m2f, good to soft); firmly in the mix. |
| 16:10 Chester | (7) Prince Iago | | | | | 3 | Jason Hart | Hugo Palmer | 40-1, slowly away and checked when always behind in six-runner novice at Newmarket (1m2f, good) three weeks ago; best watched for now. |
| 16:10 Chester | (8) Sanks To Flicka | | | | | 3 | Rossa Ryan | David Loughnane | By Cracksman; 17-2, 14l fourth of six in novice at Ayr (1m, heavy) in October was low-level form, never dangerous; gelded since. |
| 16:45 Chester | (1) Way To Dubai | | | | | 5 | Kieran Shoemark | Charlie Fellowes | Three wins at 1m1f/1m during his time in Germany; all five starts for new yard have been on AW, best when second at Lingfield (6f) in December; two modest shows since and gelded since latest; off since January; others look more solid but he does have a low draw. |
| 16:45 Chester | 1st (2) Divine Libra | | | | | 4 | William Buick | Charles Hills | Did better last season when dropped to 6f, first with a soft-ground win here; gelded and off 216 days before last month's run at Newbury (favourite) where a never-dangerous ninth of 16 but beaten only 2l and not getting the luck from off the pace; back up to 7f but wide draw requires some luck. |
| 16:45 Chester | (3) Princess Shabnam | | | | | 5 | Tom Marquand | S Woods | Has run five times here and came second in the first four of them, with stiff task on fifth occasion; AW reappearance last month was no disgrace but she looked stretched by 7f (first attempt beyond 6f) and her losing run may therefore continue. |
| 16:45 Chester | (4) Hieronymus | | | | | 8 | Callum Shepherd | George Baker | All four wins have been on Polytrack at Kempton, including two (7f/1m) early in 2024; turf record stands at 0-19 with heavy defeats in his two turf races this season, which does not bode well. |
| 16:45 Chester | 4th (5) Metabolt | | | | | 5 | Rossa Ryan | David Loughnane | Ran creditably sole start here (2022); began 2023 very well and also ran creditably on penultimate start, so he's one for each-way calculations. |
| 16:45 Chester | (6) Sandy Paradise | | | | | 5 | Finley Marsh | Richard Hughes | Consistent sort under varied tactics on AW, with a 7f win at Chelmsford 13 days ago, but his only turf run in the last 20 months saw him well beaten at Newbury (1m, good) last May; none of his turf form is anywhere near this mark. |
| 16:45 Chester | (7) On A Session | | | | | 8 | Callum Rodriguez | David & Nicola Barron | Second in one of his three 7.6f races here; an infrequent winner (April 2023 was his last win) but he showed enough when third at Musselburgh on latest outing to be given an each-way chance from stall 1 today. |
| 16:45 Chester | (8) Legal Reform | | | | | 7 | Kieran O'Neill | Alice Haynes | Can front-run; four 7f places from his five appearances at this track; hat-trick for Ivan Furtado last spring and he's also been in good form since joining Alice Haynes, including a 7f win on Lingfield AW last time; this is a career-high mark but he'll probably figure prominently again. |
| 16:45 Chester | (9) Dirtyoldtown | | | | | 5 | Rhys Clutterbuck | Dylan Cunha | Not discredited on sole start here; inconsistent sort who ended 2023 with a comfortable win from off the pace at Newmarket (7f, heavy; third run for new yard) and started this term with a heavy defeat; wide draw may demand another come-from-behind effort, which risks traffic problems. |
| 16:45 Chester | (10) G'Daay | | | | | 6 | Sean Levey | Joseph Parr | Can front-run; below-form third on sole start here (last August) but perhaps 7.6f on soft ground stretched him; took time to find his form last season but made a brighter comeback this time around and looks one to consider. |
| 16:45 Chester | (11) Oso Rapido | | | | | 7 | Hollie Doyle | Roger Fell & Sean Murray | Often front-runs; folded from low draws in both visits here, both last year and including this race; won twice last term and is now 3lb below his last winning mark, but that's after heavy defeats on both runs this year. |
| 16:45 Chester | (12) Remarkable Force | | | | | 4 | Jason Hart | John & Sean Quinn | His two wins were his first two career starts; 0-15 since but twice went close for Brian Toomey this winter and heavy ground might be an excuse for his first run for this yard; some headgear returns and he has a competitive mark if back on song. |
| 16:45 Chester | 2nd (13) He's A Gentleman | | | | | 5 | Brandon Wilkie | Hugo Palmer | No show in this race last year on his only run at Chester; consistent last July-December and went close at Wolverhampton this February; he's 0-15 on turf following his heavy defeat in the Spring Mile at Doncaster in March latest but there have been seven turf seconds. |
| 16:45 Chester | 3rd (14) Evocative Spark | | | | | 5 | Franny Norton | Darryll Holland | His last two wins were over C&D, latest last September off the same mark as today when drawn wide and coming from the back; not disgraced on AW this winter and although his return to turf at Doncaster in March was a lesser effort, soft ground may have been against him; case can be made. |
