The Chester meeting is always a highlight in early May, it's a real racecourse steeped in history and is so important to the race seasons calendar. This tight circular course can play into the hands of many a racehorse and certainly some trainers have a terrific record at this track. One key variable is the draw which should be looked at carefully before each race.

1.35pm 5f 16y Stakes
I'm interested in the two Bill Turner horses, his yard are enjoying a good time of things at present and I'm finding it difficult to split the pair of them. I suppose the only difference is in the prices. Both horses have been progressive throughout their starts with the ground causing me no worries at Chester. However, the form which reads best of all is that of Lothian Falcon and ALL FUR COAT the latter lost to the former last time out but Lothian Falcon looks doubtful to turn up and ALL FUR COAT looked better treated even if they met here again. The speed figures look good over this the minimal trip. A nice filly who has the weight allowance a good each way proposition.

Nice quality fillies go to post here and Aiden O Brien certainly has his horses in fine form winning both classics this weekend and he also has won the last for renewals of this race but Becausebecausebecause is a terrible name for a horse let alone a filly and I'll be swerving this one not least because of the name but I'm not convinced the form stacks up.
CUBANITA however has form that has been positively franked in recent days, she ran a blinder over a mile behind Bonfire who has a very live chance for Andrew Balding (love it if he won the derby by the way) CUBANITA also ran well over the mile behind French Fifteen, losing in that day by just over a length, that form looks good as French Fifteen finished second in a tight Guineas finish this weekend. I believe this filly could set Ralph Becketts season up and could be the sable star.
2.35pm Chester Cup 2m 2f
Truly wonderful dramatic race this around a tight course, where the jockey really has to use intelligence, bravery and courage to give themselves a real chance. OVERTURN is clearly one of the most impressive dual purpose horses ever to walk on this planet. He is an out and out galloper both over hurdles and on the flat. OVERTURN won this prize 12 months ago and looks to be coming out of a good stall, will go on the ground I'm sure but that would be the nay question mark as course, trip and jockey are all positives for a tough thoroughbred over thus marathon trip. My other selection has to be NEVER CAN TELL. This beautifully bred Montjeu mare owned by Marwan Koukash ran a blinder on champions day to win the Cesarewitch. Frankie Dettori rode one of the best rides I have ever seen out in the middle of the track to land that race. This mare is an out and stayer, again running from a plum draw.
That's it for tomorrow good luck if your having a punt!
