UK Horse Racing Tips: Chester

DONNA BEAUTY was too green to do herself justice at Newmarket in May before improving at Glorious Goodwood over 7f when leading most of the way before weakening in the closing stages. The drop in grade and distance gives her a suitable opportunity to make it third-time lucky. Bearly Blue was runner-up at the latter venue on her penultimate start and has the advantage of a low draw. He's Readytorumble, in first-time cheekpieces, is feared most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Donna Beauty 2nd Bearly Blue 3rd Hes Readytorumble

She's Too Kool boasts plenty of experience and makes her first appearance in the UK following her third at Cork over 6f. However, she may prove vulnerable against the less-exposed DOVECOTE. Ralph Beckett's gelding went close on soft ground at Lingfield on his return before occupying the same position at Southwell and may prove a tough nut to crack. Lahan Kingman is respected too.
Prediction : 1st Dovecote 2nd Shes Too Kool 3rd Lahan Kingman

WEST TYRONE went up just 3lb for his latest success at Ayr and the four-year-old makes plenty of appeal in his attempt to back that performance up. Zambezi Magic caused an upset when getting the better of Meet Me In Meraki at Chepstow, although a 4lb swing at the weights is likely to see the latter reverse that form. Chilly Breeze and Condotti are others who are capable of a decent showing.
Prediction : 1st West Tyrone 2nd Meet Me In Meraki 3rd Zambezi Magic

Several have decent chances, with the likes of the in-form Aces Wild and course specialist Roman Dragon noted for places high on the shortlist. However, TEMPLE OF ATHENA is still of relatively low mileage and is an attractive proposition now she is back on her last winning mark. Vintage Clarets, who won this in 2024, Baker Blue and Tricky Tel are also dangerous to underestimate.
Prediction : 1st Temple Of Athena 2nd Aces Wild 3rd Roman Dragon

TWO COMMANDERS successfully stepped back up to 7f at Musselburgh and has the scope to make further progress. A 3lb higher rating doesn't appear to be too restrictive and, from a handy draw, another bold showing is feasible. Giant is adaptable regarding the trip and is another key player back over 7f, while Dublin Bay and Alfa Whiteburd also warrant close inspection.
Prediction : 1st Two Commanders 2nd Giant 3rd Dublin Bay

This is competitive, but LADY GORMIRE shades the vote on the back of a comfortable success at Catterick. The daughter of Lope De Vega made every yard on that occasion and could again be hard to reel in. Homestrait is respected under a 6lb penalty for her Haydock victory, while the hat-trick seeking So Sassy is another consider, despite having yet to win on turf.
Prediction : 1st Lady Gormire 2nd Homestrait 3rd So Sassy

Corsican Caper's last win on the Flat came here in 2024 and he appeals off considerably lower, while Bollin Neil acts on a turning track and rates highly after a creditable second at Ripon 10 days ago. That was his first appearance since January and he is entitled to have come on for the run. Nevertheless, the vote goes to CASCADE HALL, who has held his form and has only ever won with Lauren Young doing the steering.
Prediction : 1st Cascade Hall 2nd Corsican Caper 3rd Bollin Neil
