      Verdict

      A small field but a competitive sprint nonetheless. Powerallied tends to save his best for Chester and was runner-up there last time. Kenny The Captain makes a belated seasonal debut but his yard is in good form while Giant's Treasure is interesting dropping down to 6f for his handicap debut. But THE ARMED MAN (NAP) has the more obvious claims given he finished a length in front of Red Pike with Orion's Bow further behind when runner-up at Thirsk last time and Chris Fairhurst’s sprinter gets another chance in his current good form.
