UK Horse Racing Tips: Chester

Although she could only muster an eighth-placed finish earlier this month at Salisbury, IMPULSIVE SPIRIT will find this much easier than that Group 3 contest. David Evans' filly had previously made a winning debut at Chepstow and she may be able to concede 7lb all round. Havana Flash arrives on the back of finishing seventh in a Listed event at Sandown and she's feared most, ahead of Rhodes Runner.
Prediction : 1st Impulsive Spirit 2nd Havana Flash 3rd Rhodes Runner

Having hit the frame on both outings to date, Somers Isles is an intriguing nursery debutant, with an official rating of 75 looking workable. Andrew Balding's filly isn't taken lightly given her nice draw, but KOODINI could prove better value. A 2lb drop for his latest fourth at Haydock is potentially lenient and he's only 2lb higher than his breakthrough victory at Catterick in late July. Reopposing third Gerry's Darling is a feasible alternative.
Prediction : 1st Koodini 2nd Somers Isles 3rd Gerrys Darling

Although Let's Dream arrives here as the highest-rated rival, he's been pretty underwhelming in four outings since scoring over C&D in May. Reds And Wolves landed the spoils on his latest start at Wolverhampton in good style and he's high up on the shortlist. However, stablemate PATAGONIA GIRL looks nicely treated on these terms and she was far from disgraced when finishing midfield in a competitive class 2 at York 29 days ago.
Prediction : 1st Patagonia Girl 2nd Reds And Wolves 3rd Lets Dream

Top Juggler arrives on the back of a respectable third at Ripon and he must enter calculations off an unchanged mark. However, stall 10 dampens enthusiasm for Seb Spencer's gelding and the vote goes to HAVANA RUM. The six-year-old handles a turning track and he is now 2lb below his last winning figure. Kirkdale, Miraculous and the selection's stable companion Watchdog are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Havana Rum 2nd Top Juggler 3rd Kirkdale

MAHARAJAS EXPRESS has been kept busy since he won over C&D in July and has generally flourished during the period. Having rewarded favourite backers with another success at Doncaster on Sunday, the thriving six-year-old gets the vote under a 5lb penalty. Over Spiced was a close second in that previously mentioned track-and-trip event and she must be taken seriously on more favourable terms. Temple Of Athena and Dream Composer are others to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Maharajas Express 2nd Over Spiced 3rd Temple Of Athena

Homestrait supplemented a victory at Haydock with a narrow defeat over track and trip and another bold bid is forecast, but the vote goes to ANDESITE. Roger Fell's charge returned to winning ways in this grade at Thirsk earlier in the month and is fancied to follow up. Of the remainder, recent C&D winner King Of Thunder makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Andesite 2nd Homestrait 3rd King Of Thunder

Zimmerman bids to complete a four-timer and should mount a bold bid in trying to do so, but he might be up against it with TABASKO. Ed Walker's filly justified favouritism by a neck in a stronger event at Lingfield last month and remains unexposed over this distance. Off just a 2lb higher rating, she looks the one to beat. Two-time course scorer Dream Harder completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Tabasko 2nd Zimmerman 3rd Dream Harder
