UK Horse Racing Tips: Chester

Warrior Lion made the frame over 1m2f at Doncaster last month and takes a step back up in trip, which looks a good move and he has to be respected. However, KARTHON improved in first-time cheekpieces to hit the woodwork at Southwell most recently and could take advantage of an unchanged rating. Previous C&D winner Haliphon is another to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Karthon 2nd Warrior Lion 3rd Haliphon

ORATORICAL outran odds of 50/1 when filling the runner-up spot on debut at Chepstow earlier in the month and is likely to have lots more to offer. David Loughnane's youngster has the plum draw in stall one and could prove hard to beat. Berkshire Boom failed to land a blow on his introduction at Salisbury, but it would be no surprise to see him take a step forward with the benefit of that experience. Suspended Sentence is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Oratorical 2nd Berkshire Boom 3rd Suspended Sentence

Style Of Life occupied the runner-up berth when bidding for a hat-trick at Pontefract last time and warrants plenty of respect. Eligible finished a close third at this venue earlier in the month and is noted, but ALBESEEINGYER looks the way to go. The six-year-old finished a respectable fourth at Doncaster last month and was dropped 1lb subsequently. She could get the run of the race and may record her seventh victory.
Prediction : 1st Albeseeingyer 2nd Style Of Life 3rd Eligible

SHOWERING will have gone into a few notebooks after running into trouble when fourth over the minimum trip at Southwell a couple of weeks ago. He won a novice race over this trip in May and the son of Showcasing gets another chance. Far Above The Law has to be of interest off the back of a creditable second at York, while Arabian Cobra arrives in fine fettle and is preferred to Miraculous of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Showering 2nd Far Above The Law 3rd Arabian Cobra

Secret Mistral made all at Haydock a week ago and could go well again, despite a 4lb rise. She'll likely be taken on for the lead here by the recent Newmarket fourth Night On Earth, and that scenario could play into the hands of BANG ON THE BELL. John Jenkins' sprinter went close over C&D a fortnight ago, despite having to be switched for a clear run, and another bold bid is anticipated.
Prediction : 1st Bang On The Bell 2nd Secret Mistral 3rd Night On Earth

MAHARAJAS EXPRESS can be marked up for his recent success over C&D, given he was drawn wide. Ian Williams' charge hasn't had much luck with the draw once again, but looks worth sticking with in his current frame of mind and can confirm that form with third-placed Acrisius. The latter should prove competitive once again, while the speedy Over Spiced is drawn on the rail and cannot be ruled out with any confidence either.
Prediction : 1st Maharajas Express 2nd Acrisius 3rd Over Spiced

KODIAC THRILLER has held his form well since he won in this grade at Thirsk four starts ago and reverts to this level with a big chance of gaining further success. Brave Nation is also a key player based on his consistent profile this season, while Duran is another solid option to consider.
Prediction : 1st Kodiac Thriller 2nd Brave Nation 3rd Duran

With a plum draw in stall one, GISELLES DEFENCE, who has gone well here in the past, is the first one on the shortlist. Having made all at Epsom last week, a 3lb higher mark looks very manageable and may not be enough to stop him from following up. Fellow last-time winners Ey Up Its The Boss and Finn Russell also warrant close inspection, while Meblesh completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Giselles Defence 2nd Ey Up Its The Boss 3rd Finn Russell
