UK Horse Racing Tips: Chester

A chance can be taken on TWO TEMPTING, who stepped forward from a disappointing effort in the Lincoln when keeping on into a creditable fourth at Newbury next time. The six-year-old is berthed well in stall one and is only 1lb higher than when successful over C&D in August. Dual course winner Divine Libra was an eye-catching sixth on his seasonal reappearance over 7f at Haydock and he warrants respect stepping up in trip, with Ryan Moore a positive jockey booking. Gorak, second in that Haydock contest, is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Two Tempting 2nd Divine Libra 3rd Gorak

It's difficult to rule out any of these and only marginal preference can be afforded to AMMES. James Owen's colt chased home a useful rival at over 1m2f at Kempton recently and is likely to appreciate a step up in trip. If handling a switch to turf along with the course, he should go close. Orionis showed up well for a long way on her return at Wetherby last month and she remains of interest, while Wise Counsellor appeals most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Ammes 2nd Orionis 3rd Wise Counsellor

THE FOXES had somewhat of an interrupted campaign last season, but he finished an excellent fourth in the Hong Kong Cup at Sha Tin before chasing home Rebel's Romance in a Group 3 in Qatar. Andrew Balding's entire can resume his progress back on home soil this year. Space Legend wasn't disgraced in the Great Voltigeur when last seen and given that he's gone well when fresh previously, must be considered. Liberty Lane might not be far away either.
Prediction : 1st The Foxes 2nd Space Legend 3rd Liberty Lane

This prestigious handicap can go the way of EAST INDIA DOCK, who was only worn down after the last in what looked a strong renewal of the Triumph Hurdle. The four-year-old proved capable on the level last year when trained by James Fanshawe and, with a handy draw in stall six, he may be able to make his class tell from a workable mark of 89. An easy winner here last September, Who's Glen must enter calculations along with unexposed Irish raider Leinster, who could relish the steep rise in trip, and last year's winner Zoffee.
Prediction : 1st East India Dock 2nd Whos Glen 3rd Leinster

WARDA JAMILA (fourth) may have less than a length to make up with the reopposing Rathgar (second) from their recent clash at Epsom, but Andrew Balding's charge is better drawn on this occasion and boasts every chance of reversing that form. A capable sort last year, she is narrowly preferred to Take Heart, who landed a valuable handicap at Goodwood last July and ran creditably most recently at Cork. Grey Cuban and Penzance have the form to get involved in proceedings as well.
Prediction : 1st Warda Jamila 2nd Take Heart 3rd Rathgar

SPORTINGSILVERMINE is unbeaten in two starts since switching to the James Owen yard and may have been worth more than the winning margin suggests at Musselburgh last time. The son of Holy Roman Emperor has Mason Patel claiming a handy 7lb and remains relatively unexposed over this distance. The hat-trick seeking Obsidian Knight is likely to have his supporters after recording a double at Lingfield and he needs to be taken seriously. Of the remainder, Small Fry makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Sportingsilvermine 2nd Obsidian Knight 3rd Small Fry

Each of the last three winners of this prize has been a five-year-old and ARTISAN DANCER is taken to continue that trend. Charlie Johnston's gelding battled it out with Surrey Belle to prevail by a head at Ripon, shaping as if this extra distance could eke out further improvement. He can confirm his authority over that rival to complete a double, while Tailorman is the pick of the Ian Williams trio after his close third at Nottingham.
Prediction : 1st Artisan Dancer 2nd Surrey Belle 3rd Tailorman
