UK Horse Racing Tips: Chester

Giselles Izzy had a subsequent winner back in second when winning over 6f at Ayr last month and she must be respected off a 2lb higher mark. That said, preference is for the locally-trained KINDEST NATION. Hugo Palmer's charge was sporting a first-time visor (retained) when scoring with more in hand than the winning margin suggests over 7f at Haydock last week, and a 6lb penalty may not be enough to anchor her. American Rose is also respected.
Prediction : 1st Kindest Nation 2nd Giselles Izzy 3rd American Rose

QETAIFAN showed up well for a long way before fading into fifth late on in a warm Sandown maiden over 7f last month and, dropping back to 6f, he gets the vote to land the spoils for a stable which is operating at a 24 percent strike-rate at this venue this year. Sands Of Marra was readily outclassed in the Molecomb Stakes at Goodwood, but he had shown promise prior to that and must enter calculations, along with Mekhled.
Prediction : 1st Qetaifan 2nd Sands Of Marra 3rd Mekhled

There is lots to like about the Hugo Palmer-trained Top Bins on paper and any support in the market for the son of Soldier's Call should be heeded. That said, BOB MALI gets the vote to hit all the right notes here. Ollie Sangster's charge justified strong market support on his debut when running out a game winner over 6f at Ayr last month and, with that experience under his belt, he shades preference. Sir Geoff Morgan is respected now sporting cheekpieces for the first time.
Prediction : 1st Bob Mali 2nd Top Bins 3rd Sir Geoff Morgan

Turned out again quickly after a taking success in a claimer at Wolverhampton on Monday, B ASSOCIATES should be able to handle a 5lb penalty in this company. Thornaby Pearl has been running well at Ripon of late without getting his head in front and he could be set for another bold bid. Others to note include Bibendum, First Company and Oso Rapido.
Prediction : 1st B Associates 2nd Thornaby Pearl 3rd Bibendum

A tentative vote goes to JUDGEMENTOFSOLOMON, who has done well since being upped in trip this year and, despite his most recent effort at Southwell being a tad disappointing, he looks capable of bouncing back over further. This stamina test is likely to suit recent Musselburgh scorer Trojan Sun, who must prove himself on soft ground, while Berkshire Sundance returns after almost a year off the track for his in-form connections.
Prediction : 1st Judgementofsolomon 2nd Trojan Sun 3rd Berkshire Sundance

Trainer Andrew Balding won this contest last year and looks to have another ideal candidate in the shape of WHO'S GLEN, who was runner-up in a deep race at Southwell last time out. The son of Gleneagles looked in need of further on that occasion and he gets that opportunity now, with taking Ripon scorer Oosterpark looking best placed to chase him home. Consistent performer The Crafty Mole is another to bear in mind.
Prediction : 1st Whos Glen 2nd Oosterpark 3rd The Crafty Mole

Love Billy Boy took the silver medal home at Ascot last week and is aided by his plum draw in stall one here, so he ought to go close off an unchanged mark. However, the vote goes to PAWS FOR THOUGHT, who is a four-time course winner and finished a close-up fourth over 6f here on his latest outing. Donald McCain's six-year-old can continue his fine form and return to winning ways. Mudamer and Mercurial are just two others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Paws For Thought 2nd Love Billy Boy 3rd Mudamer

Celtic Warrior was just touched off by a neck when second in this grade at Epsom last month and should remain competitive off a 2lb higher rating. However, AVIEMORE ran a big race when runner-up over 1m4f on Lingfield's Polytrack off this mark last week and he is taken to go one better now returned to the trip and surface of his sole victory. User Amistoso is another to note in first-time cheekpieces.
Prediction : 1st Aviemore 2nd Celtic Warrior 3rd User Amistoso
