UK Horse Racing Tips: Chester

STARDOM GLORY brings solid form to the table having found only one too good at York in both starts so far. The son of Starspangledbanner came up against a Godolphin hotpot last time and should find life easier in this company. The Dancing Pirate posted an improved effort at Beverley and this extra yardage may bring further progress, while Deputy Vice is not totally discounted on last month's debut third here.
Prediction : 1st Stardom Glory 2nd The Dancing Pirate 3rd Deputy Vice

EAGLE BAY made an impressive debut for Harriet Bethell's yard when landing a maiden in fine style at Thirsk. He beat a subsequent handicap winner by five lengths and is taken to defy a penalty on the strength of that form. El Nay was narrowly denied when attempting to make all at Leicester. He holds every chance back down slightly in trip and should have the measure of both Remi Mae and Albemagic.
Prediction : 1st Eagle Bay 2nd El Nay 3rd Remi Mae

SOLAR ACLAIM returned the ready winner over the minimum trip at Hamilton recently. He remains on a workable mark, despite an 8lb hike, and another bold bid is anticipated having struck over C&D around this time last summer. Last month's York scorer Dark Thirty is no forlorn hope in this lower grade, while Purest Time did it nicely at Windsor and could also land a blow. Rosenpur and Ruby's Angel are recent winners here and are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Solar Aclaim 2nd Dark Thirty 3rd Purest Time

Circe accounted for Magic Basma (second) and La Brodeuse (fourth) when victorious by just over a length at Musselburgh and is expected to confirm that form to go close. However, it was hard not to be impressed by FORTY YEARS ON's facile success off a mark of 88 at Newbury on her return and she hasn't got many miles on the clock at all. The daughter of Mayson could improve again and take this step up in her stride.
Prediction : 1st Forty Years On 2nd Circe 3rd Magic Basma

Start Me Up struck by just under a length over 6f here and holds an obvious chance in his bid to follow up, but it may pay to side with ASTRAZAR. Ed Walker's gelding was never dangerous when seventh in the Silver Bowl at Carlisle last month, but he goes off a 2lb lower mark and will find this easier. Handicap debutant Bright Summer is one to watch in the betting.
Prediction : 1st Astrazar 2nd Start Me Up 3rd Bright Summer

Winged One was beaten seven lengths by a subsequent winner over track and trip and may get closer off a 2lb lower rating. However, CITY QUEEN made it two from three in handicap company at Sandown and this step up in trip promises to unlock further improvement. Off just a 5lb higher figure, she looks the one to beat. Likealot won readily at Lingfield when last seen and isn't ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st City Queen 2nd Winged One 3rd Likealot

Shipshape has to be respected having won three of his last four starts, finishing a neck second on the other occasion, but improvement is required to defy a further hike of 4lb. With that in mind, preference is for CURRAN, who narrowly beat a subsequent winner over 1m6f at Bath earlier in the month and a 2lb rise appears to be very fair. Solar Pass is another likely to be in the mix.
Prediction : 1st Curran 2nd Shipshape 3rd Solar Pass

RELENTLESS HERO put in a career best when winning a Lingfield maiden three weeks ago and that performance suggests that a mark of 72 should be workable on his handicap debut. Taritino built on a narrow Bath defeat when scoring at Salisbury and another good run looks likely, while Percy Jones edges out Triple Force and Oman to be the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Relentless Hero 2nd Taritino 3rd Percy Jones
