UK Horse Racing Tips: Chester

Runner-up on his last two outings, including when only beaten a neck at Haydock last time out, ROBBO sets the standard and could be tough to beat. Berkshire Nugget did not get the clearest of runs when looking to challenge over 7f here last time out and he must enter calculations, along with Activated, who has strong claims on her debut effort at Windsor. Any market support for Eye Of Dubai would have to be noted.
Prediction : 1st Robbo 2nd Berkshire Nugget 3rd Activated

This can go the way of course-specialist EMIYN, who won this contest last year off 7lb lower and was also victorious here over shorter in July. The six-year-old remains unexposed over marathon trips and may have too much class for Baez, who is up in grade and in search of a five-timer. The recent Goodwood winner Zealandia and the Group 1-placed Tashkhan can also have a say in proceedings.
Prediction : 1st Emiyn 2nd Baez 3rd Tashkhan

BRITANNICA has shown more than enough in her three career outings to suggest that she can get off the mark here. The slight step up in trip on this occasion is a plus and she may have too much for Prince of Zenda, who has not been in action since May but was runner-up to a subsequent Royal Ascot winner on his penultimate start. Night Breeze has plenty to find but cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Britannica 2nd Prince of Zenda 3rd Night Breeze

Roman Dragon has a good record here but has drawn the eight stall as he looks for his first success over this trip, which is a slight concern. COUNT D'ORSAY was a short-head second over 5f at Beverley 10 days ago and is arguably the one to beat on the back of that performance, leaving Lord Riddiford and Democracy Dilemma as the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Count DOrsay 2nd Roman Dragon 3rd Lord Riddiford

TAFSIR ticks plenty of boxes having won at Musselburgh in August and she was a close second off this mark over 1m4f at Hamilton on her most recent outing. With that in mind, the four-year-old gets the vote in an open event. Charlie Johnston has his string in good form right now, suggesting that the recent Catterick second Dreams Adozen is also a player, along with Surrey Belle.
Prediction : 1st Tafsir 2nd Dreams Adozen 3rd Surrey Belle

G'daay is a specialist over this trip and has won off this mark before, which suggests that he can go close. However, LOVE DE VEGA won at Hamilton and Musselburgh before finding the company too hot at Ascot in a better race last time and he can go close back down in grade. Legal Reform is an alternative who could go well on his first start for a new yard.
Prediction : 1st Love De Vega 2nd Gdaay 3rd Legal Reform

HONEYMOONER successfully recorded a double when going in by a nose at Ffos Las last time and she was only put up 1lb for that success, which may not be enough to prevent her from making it a hat-trick. Thebeautifulgame is a big player after a third at Sandown on her latest outing and she goes off the same rating here, while Compliant isn't ruled out either in a first-time visor.
Prediction : 1st Honeymooner 2nd Thebeautifulgame 3rd Compliant

Lockdown Lass struck in a similar race over 7f at this track earlier in the month and she has to be respected off a 3lb higher rating. However, preference is for HE'S A GENTLEMAN, who is well drawn and has been running consistently well of late. He was third at Southwell last time and that followed a narrow defeat at Ayr in August. Mister Sox and Ring Of Gold complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Hes A Gentleman 2nd Lockdown Lass 3rd Mister Sox
