13:30 Chester Handicap (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 4/1 (3) BOARDMAN, 4.5/1 (9) REVICH, and 11/1 (8) RED MIRAGE are likely to do well in the race. 4/1 (3) BOARDMAN has already shown good form in this race and had a solid performance in his recent races. 4.5/1 (9) REVICH has a good track record at Chester and has shown consistent form. 11/1 (8) RED MIRAGE is the defending champion and has been performing well in his recent races. However, as horse racing is unpredictable, it is difficult to accurately predict which horses will finish in the top three places.

Revich just faded late into third last time at Newbury over a mile and has to be considered running off the same mark for the Richard Spencer yard. However, preference is still for GWEEDORE, who was only beaten a length and a half into second on his latest outing over 7f at Haydock, and the handicapper has been kind to leave his rating alone. Therefore, he is fancied to attack from stall eight and make all. The booking of Ryan Moore on Croupier makes him an interesting contender.

BOARDMAN has plenty of winning spring form to his name, including at this venue, and he should be spot on for this following an eye-catching run from a poor track position at Haydock a fortnight ago. He has plenty to recommend him, with Wobwobwob (from stall 1) and Croupier feared most.

Last year's third REVICH is nicely handicapped back here and he gets the vote. Boardman is second choice.

14:05 Chester Handicap (Class 2) 10f Race Class Flow

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

1st: 5/1 (9) BARYSHNIKOV 2nd: 3/1 (2) SAVVY VICTORY 3rd: 5/1 (4) MAKSUD

GROUNDBREAKER was last seen in September when beaten just under three lengths in a warm handicap that has worked out well at Newbury. The son of Oasis Dream has been gelded during his break which is likely to benefit him, especially given how keen he could be early on in some of his races last season. The main danger looks to be Baryshnikov, who stayed on well last time when third at Pontefract and has Billy Loughnane claiming 3lb. Savvy Victory completes the shortlist.

GROUNDBREAKER proved himself better than ever on his final 2 starts last year and appeals as the type who could be even better at 4 yrs, so he looks to have plenty going for him on his return, especially with Oisin Murphy booked. Savvy Victory is another who may raise his game further this season, with low-mileage 6-y-o Pride of America also respected back in handicap company.

Last year's winner BARYSHNIKOV can stage a repeat off the same mark, having given positive signals at Pontefract 18 days ago.

14:40 Chester Group 2 (Class 1) 10f Race Class Flow

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

1st: 1.2/1 (4) POINT LONSDALE, 2nd: 4/1 (3) MUJTABA, 3rd: 6.5/1 (5) POKER FACE.

POINT LONSDALE returned from a nearly a year off to strike in the Alleged Stakes at the Curragh over this trip in heavy conditions and had a subsequent winner back in second. The son of Australia, who was a top juvenile, is bred to improve with age and is fancied to have too much class for these. Mujtaba improved through the handicap ranks last year and has to be considered, with the likelihood of more to come, while Foxes Tales would also be foolish to dismiss.

A customary small field for this Group 2 contest but it promises to be a cracker, MUJTABA getting the verdict to make his first outing at pattern level a winning one after his demolition job in a handicap at Newbury 6 months ago. Point Lonsdale wasted no time getting back on the up when making a winning return at the Curragh last month, so he's put forward as the main danger, with recent Kempton scorer Foxes Tales taken to fill out third spot.

Point Lonsdale holds strong claims provided he avoids the bounce factor. MUJTABA and Poker Face are open to further progress.

15:15 Chester Handicap (Class 2) 19f Race Class Flow

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

1st: 11/1 (1) RAJINSKY 2nd: 10/1 (15) EMIYN 3rd: Show Of Force

Rajinsky has kept good company since finishing third in last year's renewal, but, while he is respected, it would take a mammoth effort from him under top weight. Falcon Eight, who was fifth last year but won the 2021 renewal off 4lb lower, is another key player with conditions in his favour. The vote, though, goes to ZOFFEE, whose most recent start resulted in a highly commendable fourth-place finish in the Cesarewitch last October. Others to note include Metier and Calling The Wind.

The Dominic Ffrench Davis stable has been knocking in the winners on a regular basis this spring so the vote goes to CALL MY BLUFF, who has a good course record, ran well on his recent Newbury reappearance and won't be inconvenienced if the ground goes soft. Calling The Wind and Euchen Glen are the sorts who will need things to drop right but are more than capable of going close off their current marks if they do. Zoffee and 2021 winner Falcon Eight are others likely to be in the shake-up.

Soft ground would help CALL MY BLUFF (nap) who has stacks of stamina and a good record at this course. Metier is second choice.

15:45 Chester Maiden (Class 2) 12f Race Class Flow

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

1st - 1/1 (1) BANDERAS, 2nd - 3.5/1 (5) MEDIEVAL GOLD, 3rd - 7.5/1 (2) CHRONOGRAPH

Banderas arguably sets the standard on form based on his close second in a decent maiden at Newbury last month. He can be expected to cope with the longer trip and the signs are positive. However, it's noteworthy that nicely-bred newcomer KING OF THE PLAINS is pitched at this level on debut and the son of Roaring Lion is dangerous to underestimate. Kingsley Pride, a stablemate of the selection, also has the potential to improve in first-time blinkers.

MEDIEVAL GOLD has an excellent middle-distance pedigree and is in good hands, so he's worth chancing in his bid to make a winning start. Banderas is an obvious danger after an improved showing at Newbury and King of The Plains is another noteworthy newcomer.

While his failure to seal the issue at Newbury was somewhat frustrating, BANDERAS could still be a useful horse in the making.

16:20 Chester Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

1st - 7/1 (14) THE NU FORM WAY 2nd - 5/1 (10) CLARITUDO 3rd - 4.5/1 (7) TWO BROTHERS

BY YOUR SIDE has been kept busy throughout the winter months over hurdles, running on no less than 11 occasions, and has held his form particularly well, having just been denied at the Punchestown Festival last time. Connections have booked Billy Loughnane and there is a lot to like about his profile back on the level. Aqwaam filled the runner-up spot off this mark at Doncaster last time and he is respected, along with Two Brothers and Claritudo.

Plenty arrive with claims including Irish-raider BY YOUR SIDE. Steadily progressive on the level last term, he comes having run his best race yet over hurdles when runner-up in a big-field affair at Punchestown 2 weeks ago and it's most interesting his leading NH yard pitchs him in here with Billy Loughnane booked. Last-time-out winners Claritudo, and Two Brothers head up the dangers, with Greystoke another to note for Alan King.

Preference is for CLARITUDO, who holds particularly solid claims. The Nu Form Way is second choice.

16:55 Chester Handicap (Class 2) 19f Race Class Flow

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

1st: 1.75/1 (1) NOVEL LEGEND, 2nd: 5/1 (17) JUSTUS, 3rd: 12/1 (15) THE PREDICTOR

NOVEL LEGEND just missed out by one for a tilt at the Chester Cup and the four-year-old, who scored impressively at Newbury on his latest start, would have been high on many shortlists for that. As a result, James Fanshawe's charge is expected to be too strong for these rivals. Bellatrixsa is 4lb higher following her victory in this last year and enters calculations, while Zinc White is of considerable interest on his debut for Ian Williams.

The progressive NOVEL LEGEND is a step ahead of the assessor under a 3 lb penalty and, with this new trip unlikely to pose a problem, he will take plenty of stopping in his bid to complete the hat-trick. The fact that he was a winner here on his sole previous visit in September also augurs well. Justus is also 'well-in' under a penalty following his wide-margin Doncaster success and he is next on the list ahead of The Predictor.

Progressive NOVEL LEGEND looks well capable of defying top weight and remains a stayer to follow. Second choice is Justus.

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.
