UK Horse Racing Tips: Chester

ANGEL'S WHISPER returned from a spell in France with an impressive victory over a mile at Newmarket a month ago and she is the one to beat today based on that evidence, despite an 8lb rise in the ratings. Madrinho could prove to be the main threat to the selection following his narrow defeat at Brighton last time, while Sucellus and Parys Mountain are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Angels Whisper 2nd Madrinho 3rd Sucellus

LORD UHTRED confirmed the promise that he displayed on debut when narrowly denied over 7f at Haydock when last seen in July and he could take plenty of stopping this afternoon. Gozo was far from disgraced in a competitive novice event at Goodwood recently and he should not be underestimated. Sudden Ambush is another with valid form claims, while any market support for Dragonball Prince would have to be noted.
Prediction : 1st Lord Uhtred 2nd Gozo 3rd Sudden Ambush

Red N Blue Candy caught the eye when finishing third on debut at Epsom recently and she could take a big step forward with the benefit of that experience. That said, a chance can be taken with YOUNG AND FUN, who is unraced but this 150,000gns purchase is the first foal out of Listed-winning mare Crimson Rosette. Flight Of Angels cost 60,000gns earlier in the year and she is another newcomer to consider.
Prediction : 1st Young And Fun 2nd Red N Blue Candy 3rd Flight Of Angels

METAHORSE was denied a hat-trick when dropping back in trip for a competitive sales contest recently but he is entitled to improve on his return to handicap company. He is rated 4lb higher than his last winning mark at Thirsk, which seems fairly lenient given he kept on to win by a length and a half. Ludo's Landing could make his presence felt back on turf, along with Ibiza Love, who drops in class.
Prediction : 1st Metahorse 2nd Ludos Landing 3rd Ibiza Love

FRANKENSTELLA stepped up in class to record a respectable second on her latest outing at York last month and a return to this level could be what she needs to bounce back to winning form. A fractionally shorter trip should work in her favour, given she was headed inside the final furlong last time, and she looks capable of delivering. The bang in-form Alpine Stroll merits a lot of respect, along with Emiyn.
Prediction : 1st Frankenstella 2nd Alpine Stroll 3rd Emiyn

GIFTED RULER has been disappointing so far this year but he's becoming too well handicapped to ignore off a mark of 82 and, having landed the plum draw in stall one, Hugo Palmer's gelding could go well. Consensus De Vega still looks open to plenty of improvement, but the draw could have been kinder to her, while C&D winner Poet's Magic is one to keep an eye on off just 3lb higher than that victory here in June.
Prediction : 1st Gifted Ruler 2nd Consensus De Vega 3rd Poets Magic

The races that CHIMED has finished second in on his last two starts have both worked out well, with the winners following up next time out, so off an unchanged mark from his latest assignment, he looks the one to beat. Schmilsson has been struggling in some hot races this year, but this looks easier and Andrew Balding's colt is now 10lb lower than when starting off in handicaps in June. Oriole is a fascinating contender to keep an eye on on her handicap debut.
Prediction : 1st Chimed 2nd Schmilsson 3rd Oriole
