UK Horse Racing Tips: Chester

BARDO CONTIGUO ran with promise behind a well-bred individual of Roger Charlton's on his racecourse debut at Wolverhampton earlier this month and the son of Lope De Vega can go one better on his first start on turf. Hero Hero finished third to a potential Group performer, Jubiloso, at Chelmsford last month and could improve for this step up in distance. Newbury fifth Guandi looks the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Bardo Contiguo 2nd Hero Hero 3rd Guandi

WEDDING DATE stayed on strongly to score in a 5f handicap at York eight days ago and will have no issue returning to 6f, having won over this distance as a juvenile at Kempton. Probability was unable to make it four in a row at Lingfield last month but she is likely to post another bold bid from the front all the same, while Princess Power (third) and Pass The Gin (fourth) are respected on their course and distance clash earlier in the month.
Prediction : 1st Wedding Date 2nd Probability 3rd Princess Power

CROSSING THE LINE has been progressive in handicap company and didn't disgrace herself at Lingfield on Good Friday. She is rated 2lb higher than when scoring at Chelmsford in December and has bagged an ideal draw to charter a ground-saving route on the inner. Kaeso has to enter calculations after a fine third in the Victoria Cup at Ascot a fortnight ago, while Di Fede and Gabrial can fight it out for the minor honours.
Prediction : 1st Crossing The Line 2nd Kaeso 3rd Di Fede

CLAIRE UNDERWOOD set steady fractions when making all over the extended 1m4f at Musselburgh earlier in the month and could be a tactical danger to all again in this small field. Eddystone Rock has held his form well since striking off 4lb lower at Leicester in April and has place claims, though the main danger may be Dawn Trouper, who was a model of consistency in Ireland last year and now debuts for a new stable.
Prediction : 1st Claire Underwood 2nd Dawn Trouper 3rd Eddystone Rock

RAFFLE PRIZE has the ideal draw to build on her Newmarket second behind a useful filly last weekend and could prove difficult to beat in receipt of 5lb from her male counterparts. It's Been Noted shaped like the step up to six furlongs would suit when second here earlier this month, while his stablemate, We Owen A Dragon, merits a market check on his racecourse debut. The New Marwan and Endowed are others to bear in mind.
Prediction : 1st Raffle Prize 2nd Its Been Noted 3rd We Owen A Dragon

A winner at Chelmsford on his seasonal bow last month, SIMOON relished the step up to 1m2f when obliging for favourite backers on his return to turf at Windsor earlier this month and has a good chance of landing a hat-trick. Tom Dascombe has an exemplary record here and his Chai Chai is one to consider following wind surgery. Course-and-distance winner Mearing was successful at Hamilton last time and is also considered.
Prediction : 1st Simoon 2nd Mearing 3rd Chai Chai

HEART OF SOUL was a comfortable winner of a course and distance contest earlier this month and the in-form four-year-old could be the one to side with following a 6lb rise from the assessor. Dance King was third here over an extended 1m2f recently and is respected while running off the same rating, while Apterix and Sioux Frontier are also expected to prove popular as they bid to land hat-tricks.
Prediction : 1st Heart Of Soul 2nd Dance King 3rd Apterix
