UK Horse Racing Tips: Chester

RED MIRAGE has failed to fire on his two starts since winning over 7f at Catterick in April, but the booking of Patrick Mullins catches the eye and he can be given another chance in a race of this nature. Outrun The Storm is another with strong form claims, while On A Session edges out Spioradalta and Maxi Boy to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Red Mirage 2nd Outrun The Storm 3rd On A Session

ANGEL'S CALL was far from disgraced when filling fifth place in a competitive event at Ascot on his handicap debut last month, and that form gives him a big chance here off a 1lb lower mark. Onigiri showed more on her return to the UK at Lingfield last time and should not be underestimated, while Macanudo and Cool Run also merit places on the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Angels Call 2nd Onigiri 3rd Macanudo

DUKES OF HAATHER has improved with every start to date and his latest third at Newmarket last month suggests that he could be very hard to beat at this level. Oasis Sunrise showed ability when fourth on her racecourse bow at Chelmsford recently and she could prove to be the main threat. That said, Almanjoor, Whiskey Glasses and Camden Flyer should not be discounted.
Prediction : 1st Dukes Of Haather 2nd Oasis Sunrise 3rd Almanjoor

Having opened his account at Lingfield last month with something in hand, TATATEO might be able to able to follow up on his handicap bow. A mark of 80 looks more than workable for James Ferguson's gelding and he shades the verdict over Rebaatt. The son of Dark Angel found only a subsequent winner too strong at Newmarket last month and a 2lb higher rating is unlikely to prevent another prominent showing. Amancio and Hutchence are also noted.
Prediction : 1st Tatateo 2nd Rebaatt 3rd Amancio

Vellner lost little in defeat on his runner-up effort behind a progressive rival at Hamilton last month and he must enter calculations off only 3lb higher in the ratings. However, this drop in trip by a furlong may leave the five-year-old vulnerable and DARBUCKS makes most appeal. Christopher Kellett's charge arrives on the back of two close-up seconds and he's fancied to take advantage of a plum draw. Further progress cannot be ruled out from last-time-out winner Indie Skies, either.
Prediction : 1st Darbucks 2nd Vellner 3rd Indie Skies

Although he's been handed the widest draw of all, MR SQUIRES could hardly have been more impressive when winning over 7f at Wolverhampton last time and a 5lb penalty shouldn't stop him if turning up here in similar form. Star Shield was a close second at Ripon last week and he should go close again from stall two, while Daisy Roots has been running consistently well in defeat of late and she looks to have solid place claims.
Prediction : 1st Mr Squires 2nd Star Shield 3rd Daisy Roots

A competitive race in which plenty have chances, so only a tentative vote can go to TREASURE TIME, who can progress now sent handicapping off a seemingly workable opening mark of 77. Mai Dubai shaped as if he may improve for his return at Newmarket last month and he could do better with that outing under his belt, while Operate is another runner who needs to bounce back from a disappointing effort last time but he looks capable of getting involved from stall one.
Prediction : 1st Treasure Time 2nd Operate 3rd Mai Dubai
