UK Horse Racing Tips: Chester

This represents a significant drop in grade for the classy BLUESTOCKING, who was last seen finishing a highly creditable fourth in the Yorkshire Oaks. The daughter of Camelot can take advantage under ideal conditions and notch up a deserved first win since her debut at Salisbury last September. Modaara was disappointing when well fancied for a Group 3 at Haydock last time out and better can be expected now, while Sea Of Roses is a player based on the pick of her form.
Prediction : 1st Bluestocking 2nd Modaara 3rd Sea Of Roses

A comfortable winner over C&D last month, FIRST IMPRESSION can take this slight rise in grade in his stride, despite a 5lb rise. The six-year-old is proven on this ground and he may have too much for Sweet Reward, who arrives in great form, having won two of his last three. Newcastle winner Southern Voyage is another to consider on his first run for the Richard Fahey stable, along with the capable Box To Box.
Prediction : 1st First Impression 2nd Sweet Reward 3rd Southern Voyage

Third in the valuable Convivial maiden at York, THANKS FOREVER showed more than enough on his debut to suggest that he would be getting off the mark in no time. His prominent style of racing should stand him in good stead, especially at a track of this nature, and the son of Kessaar gets the vote at the expense of Beverley runner-up Winged Messenger. Ziggy's Dream, who is winless since her debut at Doncaster in April, appeals most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Thanks Forever 2nd Winged Messenger 3rd Ziggys Dream

DUE FOR LUCK was able to defy a penalty to follow up at Ripon 18 days ago, having made a successful debut at Carlisle the previous month. With that in mind, an opening mark of 83 might underestimate the Due Diligence gelding and he is taken to maintain his unbeaten record. Midnight Lir finished second to one that went on to occupy the same position in a warm York nursery next time and must be respected. Hackman heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Due For Luck 2nd Midnight Lir 3rd Hackman

GOLDEN MAVERICK posted another career best when finishing second to an easy winner at Haydock eight days ago. Recent efforts would suggest a step up in trip will be in his favour and first-time cheekpieces could elicit the required improvement to see him go one better. Dreams Adozen arrives in search of her hat-trick following wins at Hamilton and Bath. She ought to be more than capable from just 3lb higher, while Urban Outlook might be best placed to chase the pair home.
Prediction : 1st Golden Maverick 2nd Dreams Adozen 3rd Urban Outlook

DIVINE LIBRA has made the frame in both starts since winning over course and distance in July and it would be no surprise to see the son of Dark Angel return to winning ways here. That said, Roman Dragon has been knocking hard on the door of late and is an obvious threat to the selection, while Oso Rapido is first-time cheekpieces edges out Glorious Angel to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Divine Libra 2nd Roman Dragon 3rd Oso Rapido

WAY OF LIFE bounced back to form when a head second over 1m4f at Wolverhampton two weeks ago and the five-year-old merits the utmost respect off a 2lb higher mark here. Can't Stop Now has to be of interest following his win at Carlisle late last month, while the consistent Compliant is likely to be in the mix once again. Others to note are Chase The Dollar and Bashful.
Prediction : 1st Way Of Life 2nd Cant Stop Now 3rd Compliant
