In depth

Verdict

A low draw is vital at Chester and Kevin Ryan looks to have two good chances with Mystic Man and Uhoomagoo. The former should appreciate today's surface and Fergal Lynch looks to have struck up a decent rapport with the Cadeaux Genereux gelding. Bodfari Pride is in good heart at present and has won previously at the track. His wins of late have been in claimers and this is a much tougher task. Espada was a 14/1 shot when landing a showcase race here earlier in the season but he is likely to be shorter today. His stable are still in good form and if you forgive a moderate effort over six at York, he has every chance from stall four. Tim Easterby has two entries in the race and Santisma Trinidad looks the pick. She will probably find this towards the far-end of her range and while she has yet to race on a track like Chester, strong handling is assured from the saddle. The evergreen Tony Tie is likely to be among the front-runners today but the handicapper looks to have him in his grasp.
