UK Horse Racing Tips: Chester

LEGAL REFORM is in the form of his life at present and this track shouldn't inconvenience him as he looks to bring up the four-timer. A 4lb rise for his most recent success may underestimate him and he is preferred to the likes of Leicester runner-up Roach Power, and Devilwala, whose last win came over C&D last September. Stablemates Pearly Star and Princess Niyla both scored over C&D on their most recent starts and they are hard to separate in this contest.
Prediction : 1st Legal Reform 2nd Roach Power 3rd Pearly Star

This can go the way of GOLDEN TRICK, who shaped with promise on his debut at Ayr when staying on well for third late in the day. The booking of Hayley Turner is another plus and he may have too much for Salisbury winner Equity Law, who is bound to find life tougher under a 6lb penalty. Innvincible Friend and Conde are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
Prediction : 1st Golden Trick 2nd Equity Law 3rd Innvincible Friend

The value may lie with GRAY'S INN, who was an eye-catcher on her first run for the Jack Channon stable when not beaten far in third at Haydock last month. A winner of a seller at Musselburgh prior to that, she should be open to further improvement over this distance. Lady Wulfrun has improved with each of her three qualifying runs and could be feasibly treated off an opening mark of 71, while Persian Phoenix got off the mark in fine style at Wolverhampton and is drawn to attack once more from stall two.
Prediction : 1st Grays Inn 2nd Lady Wulfrun 3rd Persian Phoenix

Cormier will need a market check on his return from a lengthly absence as his best form would put him right in the picture. Box To Box will be popular after his win over C&D four weeks ago, battling on well and has only been nudged up 3lb for that victory. It may be worth taking a chance on DEMILION, though, as he could get a soft time of things on the front end, with his three-year-old allowances potentially giving him an edge, and Franny Norton rides this track so well.
Prediction : 1st Demilion 2nd Box To Box 3rd Cormier

BEZZAS LAD performed with huge credit from a wide draw here last time and, having bagged stall three this time around, he looks sure to run a big race dropping back half a furlong in trip. Origintrail shaped well on her return to action at York last time and the previous course winner is a player back in trip. Roman Dragon won well here last time and, with his rider's claim offsetting most of his rise in the weights, is likely to get involved in what looks a tight contest.
Prediction : 1st Bezzas Lad 2nd Origintrail 3rd Roman Dragon

Code Purple has been in excellent form and just bumped into a well-handicapped rival who got the run of the race at Musselburgh last time, so he looks sure to be in the thick of things once again. Purple Martini has also been running well, winning two of his last four, and boasts sound claims. Marginal preference, though, is for BAY OF HOPE, who, despite the wide draw, may find things setting up a little better for him than at Ayr on Monday and he can get back to winning ways.
Prediction : 1st Bay Of Hope 2nd Code Purple 3rd Purple Martini
