    Nass: Looks like that, but the drying-out process over the next day or two muddles things even more?

    Morning all, I am new to the site, I fancy a couple at Chester today;

    1:35 - Baddilini, not the best draw but at 6/1 and with Ryan Moore on board I think it can win the opener.

    2:35 - Dazinski e/w, has won at Chester on its only previous run and only 2lb higher than it's previous win I think it will get in the frame.

    Good luck all

    wont mind the ground, maybe not the best draw according to the wisdom on here which as ever is well thought and well read, however Glee thinks it has a squeak yard in good order and they not coming just shy of 300 miles to catch the sun when rain is forcast

    16s at moment with PP worth a few shillings EW

    It's not particularly hard to pick out but i'm very sweet on the chances of Betterbetterbetter in the 2/05 at Chester and she's been my only bet of the day at 7/4.

    Day off work today so I'll be interested to have a look if anyone won the Chester Cup Day lottery! Chester is a lovely course to go to but is skewed in favour of lower numbers up to 7f.

    Having read the card, and resisted any trips to the bookies, I read things as this:

    Surprised to see no one has mentioned the following:

    2.05 Safarjal, who will appreciate both a step up in trip and the ground, and was backed into very short odds so certainly shows ability.

    3.05 Falasteen, drawn nicely in 4, has stolen races from the front by bouncing out in the past, and won on soft ground. Kieron Fallon booked for the Koukash colours.

    3.40 Almost Gemini, a Dylan Thomas horse who was not unbacked at Windsor last week (6/1), will appreciate a bit of cut, and who will have come on significantly for the run. Drawn stall 1 and Spencer there to try and bounce out and dictate.

    CHESTER CUP: Overturn will run his race but has it all to do on soft ground and I'm not sure can skip clear and fend off the finishers. O'Brien is on fire at the moment and have a look at the profile of Harrisons Cave, who has quite an excellent record on testing going and was a Hugh Taylor eyecatcher LTO on faster ground in Ireland, 'considerately handled' they reckon. Needs luck in running though and to get a nice position.


    Best of luck to anyone having a punt, Chester should be fun betting rather than big betting as its that sort of track.



    Might pop on later in the day for a bit of discussion.

    ipee! Chester time.....lots of tasty priced winners to be had today!!!

    1.35. Think Dascombe fancies winning this as its sponsoured by Manor House stables. PIPPY.
    2.05. CUBANITA.
    2,35. NEVER CAN TELL. Me uncle Marwan likes a winner or two here!
    3.05 BLUE JACK. Too big at 16's
    3.40 ON MY OWN. Looks like a typical Tregonning 3yro improver in the making.
    4.15 SHOSHONI WIND.

    Best of British chaps!

    Hello lads.

    Some great action today.

    The forums second favourite trainer has a runner in a UK h'cap and Arvika Ligeonniere debuts over the big 'uns.

    Also lovely to see old Whyso Mayo out at P'town...I backed him at 20's when he won at Foxhunters at the festival in 2006.

    Now thats what I call after timing!..<laugh>

    GL all.

    Afternoon guys and girls, in the 2.05 Chester SAFARJAL 20/1 was running on LTO over 12f on soft going, the extra distance today should suit and i think at 20/1 is well worth a decent EW bet.
