UK Horse Racing Tips: Chester

Having filled the runner-up berth at Hamilton and Redcar on his most recent outings, compensation could be on the cards for WONDERFUL FRIEND. Ed Bethell's gelding ticks plenty of the right boxes and is narrowly preferred to fellow in-form rival Mossvale Diva. The daughter of Coulsty has the inside draw and isn't taken lightly. Going Commando may fare best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Wonderful Friend 2nd Mossvale Diva 3rd Going Commando

Magic Boy arrives on the back of a close-up second over 1m at Musselburgh and the drop back in distance shouldn't prevent another bold bid. However, ZARATHOS has posted many creditable efforts in defeat in handicaps this season and he is slightly more appealing now reverting to novice company. Inns Of Fear hasn't been disgraced on the all-weather this year and could also make his presence felt.
Prediction : 1st Zarathos 2nd Magic Boy 3rd Inns Of Fear

Having landed an apprentice handicap at Haydock in easy fashion last week, GENTLE WARRIOR makes grand appeal racing off an unchanged mark. Karl Burke's gelding should take all the beating if coping with the quick turnaround and is likely to prove a warm order to follow up. Scarlet Moon secured a fourth victory of the season at Sandown and is feared most, ahead of the up-in-distance Minhad.
Prediction : 1st Gentle Warrior 2nd Scarlet Moon 3rd Minhad

MAYDAY MALONE landed a higher-grade contest over C&D under today's apprentice back in June. A progressive son of Bated Breath, he may not have finished winning yet and is taken to defy a 3lb rise for last month's success at Doncaster. One More returned from the sidelines to get off the mark at Kempton and has much more to offer, while the veteran Documenting could also shape well back at this lower level.
Prediction : 1st Mayday Malone 2nd One More 3rd Documenting

VIXEY struck over the extended 7f trip here in June and looked unfortunate not to finish closer when second back here last time. Stuck in traffic entering the home straight, the winner had already flown once she was in the clear and Simon West's charge is taken to go one better. Newbury scorer Lady Wingalong can feature back over this distance, while another good effort from Little Keilee looks assured.
Prediction : 1st Vixey 2nd Lady Wingalong 3rd Little Keilee

MARBUZET has placed in better company at York since finishing runner-up over C&D in June. Tim Easterby's charge can race off a similar mark and will be hard to keep out of the finish. Simiyann has a bit to find with the selection on running here, although he has subsequently won at Ffos Las and is not out of it. Chillhi returns to this code with a shout having tasted success over hurdles last week.
Prediction : 1st Marbuzet 2nd Simiyann 3rd Chillhi

DAPPER VALLEY burst back into life on his second start for the James Owen yard and the four-year-old is fancied to follow up his taking success at Kempton under a 5lb penalty, which is offset by Ashley Lewis' 7lb claim. Wichahpi has been knocking on the door of late and she must enter calculations, along with Iconic Times and Emperor's Son.
Prediction : 1st Dapper Valley 2nd Wichahpi 3rd Iconic Times

HALLOWED TIME landed this contest last year off 1lb lower and he is taken to do so again following a narrow defeat at Wolverhampton when last seen. Mark Loughnane's charge is preferred to Monday's Lingfield second B Associates and Giant, who drops in trip after showing plenty of pace when scoring over 1m at Chelmsford. General Assembly and Winter Crown are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
Prediction : 1st Hallowed Time 2nd Giant 3rd B Associates
