14:07 Chester Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

SWIFT TUTTLE ran to a good level in this grade when runner-up at Haydock on his penultimate start off the same rating and the four-year-old makes plenty of appeal in his attempt to shed the maiden tag. The main danger might be Red Royalist, who takes a step back down in distance after finishing third at Ffos Las, while She's A Novelty completes the shortlist off 1lb higher than her second at Nottingham.

SHE'S A NOVELTY made a cracking return to the track when pushing a subsequent winner close at Nottingham last month and wisely given a bit to of time to recover from that, she makes plenty of appeal. Red Royalist and Snag It head the opposition.

Top of the list is SHE'S A NOVELTY, who returned from a long absence with an eyecatching second over 1m2f at Nottingham last month.

14:42 Chester Stakes (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Desert Master sets the standard with a rating of 75 and was just denied by three-quarters of a length over C&D on his latest outing. That said, he could go down to the less-exposed MACANUDO, who failed to justify favouritism on his second career start at Windsor, but showed plenty of pace to finish runner-up and the drop to 5f appears to be in his favour. Lightning Point returns to the turf after his third at Chelmsford and is one to watch.

MACANUDO failed to meet expectations at Windsor but he's not yet the finished article and can find the required improvement to beat Loaded Gun and Desert Master.

Stall 9 is a worry for Loaded Gun and this can go to DESERT MASTER, who almost overcame a slow start from stall 1 over C&D latest.

15:17 Chester Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

FIRST OF MAY quickened clear to strike by over two lengths at Wolverhampton last time and won in the style of a highly promising filly to keep on side. If she can transfer her form to the turf off 10lb higher, the daughter of Mayson could prove a tough nut to crack. Divine Libra will give her something to think about after only fading late over 7f at this track last time, while Lulworth Cove has the plum draw and isn't out of it.

FIRST OF MAY could hardly have created a better first impression in handicaps when making a winning return at Wolverhampton and she could well be the type to run a sequence. Winter Crown took a step forward when scoring at Nottingham and is next best ahead of Seantrabh, who was better than the bare result here in May.

Winter Crown is much respected, but the lightly raced FIRST OF MAY has plenty of potential and can defy a 10lb rise.

15:52 Chester Handicap (Class 4) 14f Race Class Flow

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

BANDERAS is the least-exposed member in the field and, with cheekpieces applied for the first time, he could have lots more to give now he tackles a longer trip. However, this is deeper than the maiden he won here in May and there is a strong likelihood that the likes of Emiyn and Chase The Dollar, who have both proven to be effective here, will make this a good test for the selection. Matchless is also feared.

It's reached that stage of the season where unexposed 3-y-os often have an edge against older opposition so course maiden winner BANDERAS is selected to make a winning handicap debut at the expense of Torre Del Oro. Percy Jones and Cumberland Plate winner Two Brothers may fare best of the older brigade.

The vote goes to 3yo BANDERAS, who won a maiden here last time and is open to more progress upped to 1m6f on his handicap debut.

16:27 Chester Listed (Class 1) 7f Race Class Flow

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

The class-dropping Holguin is respected, but it's also noteworthy that three-year-olds don't have a great record in recent editions. With that in mind, SAM MAXIMUS shades preference. He has been quite highly tried since being a surprise winner of last year's Hopeful Stakes at Newmarket and, as he wasn't beaten far in a Group 3 back on the July course last time, this presents a good opportunity for him to shine. Buckingham Palace winner Witch Hunter is also considered.

HOLGUIN arrives on the back of 4 solid runs this season and could be the way to go from a handy inside stall. Fellow 3-y-o He's A Monster probably failed to handle Epsom when well held on his previous attempt at Listed level and bounced straight back with a good win in handicap company at Sandown so he's second choice ahead of Brad The Brief who is very classy at his best and might come on for his reappearance.

Preference is for WITCH HUNTER (nap), who won at Royal Ascot last month and was a creditable third back at 6f in a Group 3 last time.

17:00 Chester Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

The hat-trick chasing Sid's Annie is on a roll and warrants consideration, while Jean Baptiste and Arranmore both enter calculations despite not faring too well with the draw. However, preference is for the unexposed COMPLIANT, who is ideally berthed in stall four and the daughter of Pivotal can be fancied to flourish under these conditions off just 2lb higher than her last winning mark.

BUSHFIRE is on a good mark judged on last year's efforts and might be worth siding with to build on a more encouraging run at Newcastle last time. The thriving Sid's Annie, Innse Gall and James Fanshawe's Compliant head the dangers in an open finale.

Plenty have possibilities but Mark Usher's hat-trick seeker SID'S ANNIE gets the vote ahead of Jean Baptiste and Stately Home.
