Wednesday 5 May 2021

Morning all, not much went right yesterday with problems in running and our final runner of the day backed in to favouritism before getting somewhat bunched up in the straight, we will avoid the lesser-fare for a little while.

As to today, how is it Chester races already, a fantastic day-out normally to bring in the start of Spring, however with weather more akin to the winter, perhaps it is as good thing we are not able to attend.

I will post the P&L and the charts when I am able (work commitments), we are massively in profit for the year but it is finding time to update, if you have any concerns, just leave it until you see it in a few days.

Onto Chester and the notorious, draw dependent circle that is their track.

Chester

13:45 – Devious Angel looks a danger, jumping out of stall 2 and with a temperament that will take him to the front, however Navello is of interest due to setting speed-figures which should trouble these carrying 5 pounds higher when last seen at Brighton, if Nicola Currie can be a tad more forward on him, he should be in the mix at the end.

Navello 5/2 2.5PT ew

14:15 – Dubai Fountain has the figures to put these to sleep, in what should be a furious affair as on what she has done to date she should take the Cheshire Oaks, furthermore as her form is franked over the Guineas weekend. As ever, keep an eye on the O’Brien runner who has performed well on heavy and could come on for improving ground.

14:45- Harmony Lil is over a stone lighter today than when last seen at Ripon in April, the speed figures that day when finishing second if translated to this race should make our selections evens by my tissue, drawn okay from 5 and likely to set the pace from the outset, let us hope he can get in front and be difficult to pass.

Harmony Lil 4/1 2.5PT ew

Double with Dubai Fountain 14/1 2pt ew

15:15 – We have seen nothing to suggest Wirko should not win this, especially with the Appleby yard on form.

Double with Dubai Fountain 6/1 4pt ew

Treble with Dubai Fountain and Harmony Lil 35/1 1pt ew

15:45 – Tipperary Tiger looks a big price and is the selection 12/1 1pt ew

16:45 – One of the races of the day, always chaos, Redrosezorro is a big pice and unfancied in the market, but has always produced his best on softening ground (it was snowing and hailing nearby last night) and should at least out-run his mark.

Redrosezorro 66/1 0.5PT ew (4 places)
