11
(11) ( ) Gabrial The Devil
0
()
(11) Gabrial The Devil , Got on top close home in 6f handicap here in September. Added to his tally at Southwell earlier this year, but form has dipped of late and others make more appeal from a win point of view.
5
(5) ( ) Ascension
0
()
(5) Ascension , Progressed well to land 7f handicaps at Newmarket and Ayr at end of last summer. Not disgraced when midfield in the Lincoln on return in March and claims if the ground remains on the slow side.
7
(7) ( ) Ejtilaab
0
()
(7) Ejtilaab , Successful at Chelmsford in November and reappearance third at Musselburgh (7.2f, good) last month was a solid effort. Went close sole previous start here, too, but he's not so well-drawn this time.
6
(6) ( ) Revich
0
()
(6) Revich , Back-to-back winner here in August, enhancing his good record at this track. Good fourth in a strong Newbury handicap recently and big player off a 1 lb lower mark from the plum draw.
3
(3) ( ) Kenzai Warrior
0
()
(3) Kenzai Warrior , Winner of both starts at 2 yrs, but failed to make an impact in 4 runs last year, including on handicap bow at Newbury when last seen in October (gelded since). Wide draw is hardly helpful.
8
(8) ( ) Another Batt
0
()
(8) Another Batt , Caused a bit of a surprise when winning on his first start for new connections after 11 months off at Thirsk last summer. However, it's been a struggle since and well held on recent return at Haydock.
9
(9) ( ) Crownthorpe
0
()
(9) Crownthorpe , Back on the scoresheet at Southwell in January, but has failed to match that form in 4 subsequent starts and looks vulnerable here. Yard also represented by Gabrial The Devil.
10
(10) ( ) Gobi Sunset
0
()
(10) Gobi Sunset , Gelded during the winter and in good form on the AW this year. Respectable fifth back on turf at Haydock (7.2f, good to firm) recently, but now on a career-high mark and ideally wants faster ground.
4
1st (4) ( ) Grove Ferry
0
()
(4) Grove Ferry , Did little wrong in 5 appearances last term and deservedly got his head back in front at Lingfield (1m, AW) in February. Not disgraced in the Lincoln since and possibilities from a good draw.
12
2nd (12) ( ) Dulas
0
()
(12) Dulas , Reportedly lame when well held on final run of 2020 (subsequently gelded) and firmly back on track when hitting the crossbar on return at Haydock (7.2f, good to firm). Claims from a handy draw.
1
3rd (1) ( ) Kynren
0
()
(1) Kynren , Lots of good efforts in big handicaps to his name in recent seasons, but he was nearer last than first on return in the Lincoln and is drawn widest of all here. Yard also saddles Another Batt.
LTO Selection:
13:45 Chester Handicap (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(2) Bangkok , Smart horse. In good form on the AW this year, winning twice at Lingfield, including listed event. Just as effective on turf and race fitness could count for something here.
5
(5) ( ) Bharani Star
0
()
(5) Bharani Star , Suited by marked increase in trip when landing an 11.6f Haydock handicap on 3-y-o reappearance. Highly tried after but showed useful form in defeat. Up against it taking on the boys on return.
3
(3) ( ) Palavecino
0
()
(3) Palavecino , Progressed well in handicaps last season, winning 4 times, including over C&D. Took form to another level when just edged out by Bangkok at Lingfield 5 weeks ago so not to be underestimated.
4
(4) ( ) Sangarius
0
()
(4) Sangarius , Raced just twice since looking potentially top-class when scoring at Royal Ascot in 2019 and augurs well that he was able to win at Lingfield from a couple of these in December. Another wind op since.
1
1st (1) ( ) Armory
0
()
(1) Armory , Stylish win in Group 3 at the Curragh last summer before producing a very smart performance when third in Irish Champion. Backed that up when second in Cox Plate and leading player on return.
LTO Selection:
14:15 Chester Group 2 (Class 1) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(7) Not So Sleepy , Good fourth in Cesarewitch before landing a second successive win in valuable Betfair Exchange at Ascot. Front-running style suited to this if he can get across from stall 13.
14
(14) ( ) Glencadam Glory
0
()
(14) Glencadam Glory , Excellent second from the front in last year's Ebor off 4 lb higher. Hasn't got close to that level since but likely needed the run on Musselburgh reappearance and he's dangerously well handicapped.
15
(15) ( ) Rochester House
0
()
(15) Rochester House , Dual 2m winner towards the end of 2020 and back to somewhere approaching his best when third of 14 at Newbury (2m) 3 weeks ago. One of 5 runners for stable.
5
(5) ( ) Lucky Deal
0
()
(5) Lucky Deal , Scored twice over 2m on AW over the winter. Not disgraced when never-dangerous sixth of 14 back on turf at Newbury 3 weeks ago but others arrive with more pressing claims.
2
(2) ( ) Who Dares Wins
0
()
(2) Who Dares Wins , Smart dual-purpose performer who won Queen Alexandra at Royal Ascot last summer. Not disgraced on AW this year. Placed in this race in 2018 and 2019 so has to enter the reckoning from handy draw.
4
(4) ( ) Themaxwecan
0
()
(4) Themaxwecan , As good as ever when landing a valuable prize at Musselburgh (1¾m) on return in April. Not seen to best effect in a small field at Ripon since and likely still in form. Draw could make life awkward.
6
(6) ( ) Rare Groove
0
()
(6) Rare Groove , Has a progressive profile over 2m, scoring on AW at Newcastle last month. Just as effective on turf and may not have reached his limit yet. 16 box possibly not ideal, though.
8
(8) ( ) Cardano
0
()
(8) Cardano , Pair of 1½m AW wins at Lingfield this year before edged out by Themaxwecan in 1¾m Musselburgh handicap over Easter. Longer trip an unknown but yard won this before and Ryan Moore does the steering.
9
(9) ( ) Reshoun
0
()
(9) Reshoun , Form went up a notch in visor when winning Marsh Cup at Newbury last July. Ended 2020 on a low note but this has presumably been a target for while given who own him. No shock if he goes well.
11
(11) ( ) Trumpet Man
0
()
(11) Trumpet Man , Career took off all of a sudden last autumn, winning 3 times and showing useful form. Behind a couple of these on his Musselburgh reappearance but he did shape as if the run would bring him on.
12
(12) ( ) Nate The Great
0
()
(12) Nate The Great , Ended losing run in a useful 2m contest at Wolverhampton in February and backed that up when fourth to Themaxwecan (Cardano second) at Musselburgh last month.
13
(13) ( ) Future Investment
0
()
(13) Future Investment , Posted career best when pouncing late to land 2m course handicap last August. Not disgraced at Haydock next time and shaped as if still in good form when midfield in Cesarewitch final outing.
16
(16) ( ) Blakeney Point
0
()
(16) Blakeney Point , Course winner. Hard to get too excited by his Flat efforts in recent times but he did score twice over hurdles for this yard last season (also second at Worcester 14 days ago). Yard won this before.
1
1st (1) ( ) Falcon Eight
0
()
(1) Falcon Eight , Smart performer who bagged 2m Sandown listed race under Frankie Dettori in 2019. Fair efforts in only 2 outings last year. Yard's runners over here always respected.
3
2nd (3) ( ) The Grand Visir
0
()
(3) The Grand Visir , Ascot Stakes winner in 2019. Some good runs in defeat on Flat in 2020, including narrowly denied by Who Dares Wins in Queen Alexandra. Also close fourth in Glorious Goodwood handicap off 1 lb higher.
10
3rd (10) ( ) Hochfeld
0
()
(10) Hochfeld , Made all in small field at Nottingham in April and even better when close second off this mark at Hamilton on Sunday. Third run in quick succession but horses from this yard do thrive on racing.
17
4th (17) ( ) Coeur De Lion
0
()
(17) Coeur De Lion , Likeable stayer who gained notable victory in Ascot Stakes last June. May have needed run back from break at Newbury recently and he's won and finished second in Plate on both previous visits here.
LTO Selection:
14:45 Chester Handicap (Class 2) 19f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(3) Brian The Snail , Useful gelding who resumed winning ways at Southwell (6f) in February and has held his form since. Likely to get outclassed by at least one of these rivals, though.
2
(2) ( ) Ainsdale
0
()
(2) Ainsdale , Useful operator who landed a 3-runner minor event at Newmarket and perhaps found the ground on the quick side in listed event at Doncaster on return. Could bounce back.
5
(5) ( ) I'll Be Good
0
()
(5) I'll Be Good , Limited veteran who is most unlikely to feature.
6
(6) ( ) Prince Of Rome
0
()
(6) Prince Of Rome , Fairly useful sprinter who failed to beat a rival in a handicap at Wetherby 12 days ago. Hard to make any sort of case for.
7
(7) ( ) Celerity
0
()
(7) Celerity , Long-standing maiden who is out of her depth.
1
1st (1) ( ) El Astronaute
0
()
(1) El Astronaute , Smart and likeable sort who has a superb record at this track. Should be ready to go on return, so he's the one to beat.
4
2nd (4) ( ) King's Lynn
0
()
(4) King's Lynn , Generally progressive sprinter who returned with an excellent third at Newbury 3 weeks ago. More to come if he doesn't find this sharp track acting against him.
LTO Selection:
15:15 Chester Stakes (Class 3) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(8) Lawn Ranger , C&D winner from this mark last August who shaped as if better for the run after 4 months off when fifth of 8 in 11f handicap at Kempton 41 days ago. Not ruled out.
4
(4) ( ) Alternative Fact
0
()
(4) Alternative Fact , Useful handicapper who was beaten only by a progressive rival at Haydock (8.1f) in September. Not seen to best effect both starts after, so not taken lightly on return to action.
3
(3) ( ) Restorer
0
()
(3) Restorer , Won this corresponding race from 2 lb lower in 2018 and enhanced his fine record at this track when scoring in first-time cheekpieces on final outing in September. Obvious contender.
2
(2) ( ) Trais Fluors
0
()
(2) Trais Fluors , Very smart performer at best for Andre Fabre but not so good in Ireland in 2020 and down the field both starts this year for another new yard. Enough to prove at present.
6
(6) ( ) Lunar Jet
0
()
(6) Lunar Jet , In fine fettle in late 2020, completing a hat-trick at Redcar (10f) in November, but was below form after 5 months off at Newcastle last week and now returns to grass 8 lb higher.
7
(7) ( ) Into Faith
0
()
(7) Into Faith , Well-related Intello colt who landed a nice prize at Longchamp during 2-y-o campaign. Mixed bag last term though and offered little in 1m handicap at Doncaster on return 41 days ago. Back up in trip.
5
1st (5) ( ) Dark Pine
0
()
(5) Dark Pine , Returned as good as ever after 3 months off for new yard when landing back-to-back AW handicaps at up to 10f earlier this year, but was well held in his hat-trick bid at Kempton last time.
1
2nd (1) ( ) Fox Tal
0
()
(1) Fox Tal , Dual winner who ran a fine race when fourth in the Champion Stakes in 2019. Failed to fire last season but has been gelded since and this will be his first start in a handicap. Wears first-time hood.
9
3rd (9) ( ) Data Protection
0
()
(9) Data Protection , Scored at Sandown in August. Found Cambridgeshire at Newmarket too competitive, but wasn't disgraced back on all-weather at Chelmsford in November. Can go well fresh.
LTO Selection:
15:45 Chester Handicap (Class 2) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(2) Elysian Flame , Useful stayer who followed up recent hurdles win with 2m Newbury success (first-time cheekpieces on Flat), front two well clear. Big player under mere 3 lb penalty with this longer trip sure to suit.
3
(3) ( ) Indianapolis
0
()
(3) Indianapolis , Dual 12f winner in 2019 and good efforts to make the frame at York/Haydock last term for James Given. Looked rusty after 5 months off on yard bow at Musselburgh and no forlorn hope off reduced mark.
11
(11) ( ) Frankenstella
0
()
(11) Frankenstella , Three-time winner around 2m last year. Easy to back and shaped as if in need of run after 7 months off when fading fourth of 5 in 2m Newcastle handicap. Worth another chance.
4
(4) ( ) Byron Flyer
0
()
(4) Byron Flyer , Useful stayer who arrives fit from hurdling, good second in 2m4f Sandown handicap 13 days ago. Not taken lightly back in this sphere. One of half dozen here representing this stable.
6
(6) ( ) Cleonte
0
()
(6) Cleonte , Ended long losing run in 2m handicap at Kempton in March before good fourth of 14 to Elysian Flame in 2m Newbury handicap 21 days ago. Can give another good account.
1
(1) ( ) Mancini
0
()
(1) Mancini , Five-time winner for Jonathan Portman and off the mark for present connections at Sandown last July. Off track since last of 12 in 1m6f handicap here 7 months ago so needs to hit the ground running.
7
(7) ( ) Brasca
0
()
(7) Brasca , Low-mileage 5-y-o who has returned in great nick after 19 months off, landing 1m4f handicap at Salisbury 12 days ago. Needs considering under 3 lb penalty with more to offer stepping back up in trip.
8
(8) ( ) Grandmaster Flash
0
()
(8) Grandmaster Flash , Irish raider who arrives on a hat-trick after back-to-back wins at Dundalk this spring. Enters calculations returned to turf.
9
(9) ( ) Speedo Boy
0
()
(9) Speedo Boy , Useful stayer at his best who returned from 6 months off with creditable third of 4 in handicap at Nottingham (14f) 10 days ago. One for the shortlist from yard's sextet if building on that effort.
10
(10) ( ) Ottonian
0
()
(10) Ottonian , Lightly raced stayer on Flat but he arrives in winning recent form over hurdles. Not discounted if translating that form back to the level.
14
(14) ( ) Always Resolute
0
()
(14) Always Resolute , Veteran can boast a course win and he also got his head in front over hurdles at Newbury (2m4f) in March. Bit more is needed back in this sphere now, however.
13
1st (13) ( ) Green Book
0
()
(13) Green Book , Fair maiden for Brian Ellison in 2019. Several good runs on the level in France last year without winning and made good start hurdling for this yard with Hereford second in February. Possibilities.
5
2nd (5) ( ) Postileo
0
()
(5) Postileo , Improving son of Galileo who returned with excellent second of 7 in 2m Kempton handicap, pair well clear. Hit with 6 lb rise but still low mileage and sure to go well again.
12
3rd (12) ( ) Hydroplane
0
()
(12) Hydroplane , Fairly useful on Flat for Sir Mark Prescott last term. Has enjoyed excellent 2021 for current yard over hurdles, winning three times, so worth considering back in this sphere. Pick of yard's six.

(6) ( ) Socially Shady
0
()
(6) Socially Shady , Two wins from 5 runs last year but having been off the track for 9 months, has show little on a pair of all-weather starts recently. Has plenty of work to do to feature.
8
(8) ( ) G For Gabrial
0
()
(8) G For Gabrial , Already a 3-time winner this year, latest in 7-runner handicap at Beverley last month. Slightly disappointing 5 days ago at Hamilton given he was well positioned but should run his race.
1
(1) ( ) Heart Of Soul
0
()
(1) Heart Of Soul , Better than ever last year, scoring at Hamilton and here before excellent second over C&D on penultimate start. Not so good on final outing down in trip but he's warrants plenty of respect on return.
3
(3) ( ) Kaser
0
()
(3) Kaser , Good record at Wolverhampton but hasn't fired for a while and looks opposable back on turf despite the excellent Laura Pearson on board.
5
(5) ( ) Elham Valley
0
()
(5) Elham Valley , Fairly useful performer for Andrew Balding and upped his game markedly when third in Fred Winter at Cheltenham in March. Not seen to best effect there last month but he's respected back on Flat.
4
1st (4) ( ) Potenza
0
()
(4) Potenza , Ran to a fair level on both starts over hurdles earlier this year and finished a creditable third at Lingfield from lower all-weather mark last month, just doing too much too soon. Leading player.
2
2nd (2) ( ) Carlos Felix
0
()
(2) Carlos Felix , Winner at Ascot last July but failed to cut much ice in a pair of hurdle starts for Dan Skelton this year, tailed-off after a wind op at Aintree 29 days ago. Market check advised on yard debut.
9
3rd (9) ( ) Red Derek
0
()
(9) Red Derek , Modest maiden who could hardly of shown much less when tailed-off on fibresand debut 17 days ago. Very hard to see him featuring from out of the weights.

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.
