Pull Again Green 1:35 Haydock (10/1 Bet365). Backed last time when I thought it was likely a prep run for fences but ran really well, traveled very sweetly and just got tired on the run in. Should be spot on now and 6lb turn around with Zain Nights should be enough to reverse placings with that one.
 
scratch that, I've cashed out and will do it e/w with 6 places, makes more sense.

Chester 1.30 The first of five races covered by ITV on day two of Chester’s May meeting starts with a competitive 5F class 2 handicap. Local handler Hugo Palmer saddles his five year old Roman Dragon who has been running well in Bahrain this year and with the plum draw in stall one looks the one to be with especially with the eye catching jockey booking of Oisin Murphy. He loves this track having won five of his 15 starts here and may have most to fear from top weight Democracy Dilemma who is drawn alongside the pick in stall 2.   ROMAN DRAGON 1 point each way @ 9/2 bet365 1/5th 1234   Huntingdon 1.50 The ITV team are showing a race from Huntingdon in this 2M 3 1/2F class 4 handicap hurdle where the ground is a drying good. Top weight King Of The Road looks likely to be involved in the finish having won his last two starts on good to soft ground. He can go well but I’ll take a chance with the Emma Lavelle trained Mistral Molly who made a promising handicap debut under twelve stone at Hereford last month when going down by 1 3/4L to Politacus with the third Spring Gale going on to win a maiden hurdle at Chepstow twelve days later. A rise of 3lb may not enough to stop the lightly raced chestnut mare from going one better today.   MISTRAL MILLY 1 point each way @ 15/2 bet365 1/5th 1234   Chester 2.05 A field of ten line up for this 6F two year old maiden where there is a standout bet in the shape of the Brian Meehan trained Rashabar. He made a highly promising racecourse debut when third (beaten 2 1/4L) in the Newbury maiden won by Richard Hannon’s Hawaiian. That form has worked out superbly with the runner up Star Anthem winning easily since likewise the 4th Running Queen with the fifth Tropical Storm running a neck second at Newmarket last weekend. Red hot form and he’s easily the best of the seven that have already seen a racecourse. The problem though is that he is berthed in stall ten of 10 but he’s worth backing to overcome the draw bias as he may just be too good for these. There are three interesting newcomers also in the race, a brace from local trainer Hugo Palmer and an expensive one from David Loughnane. They are obviously worth monitoring in the market but this looks all about Meehan’s Holy Roman Emperor juvenile.   RASHABAR 1 point win @ 7/2 bet365   Chester 2.35 Nine have declared for this 7F 127 yard class 2 handicap in which we have a warm favourite in the shape of Sir Michael Stoute’s Never So Brave who could be chucked in here if his two runs as a juvenile are anything to go by and will be very hard to beat. He was runner up to Ancient Wisdom and Vandeek, beaten 1 3/4L and 3/4L respectively and as they are now rated 115 and 119 you can understand why he looks so well treated off of 94 on his handicap debut. Ryan Moore takes the ride and he’s well drawn in stall 3. He could just blow this field apart and although he’s been well found in the market is hard to oppose. Hugo Palmer’s Grey Cuban is the ride of William Buick and can chase him home.   NEVER SO BRAVE 2 points win @ 13/8 bet365   Chester 3.05 A small but select field of five line up for the 1M 2 1/2F listed Dee Stakes. Aidan O’Brien has an excellent record in the race having won five of the last six renewals and his representative here is Capulet who was last seen running at Chelmsford on the all-weather at the beginning of last month when despite being very well backed could only stay on to finish 3 1/4L third to Richard Hughes’s improver Bracken’s Laugh who re-opposes today. Bracken’s Laugh looked smart that day and he’s the pick with the extra 2f likely to suit him. The Gosden’s saddle God’s Window who’s third in the Group 1 Kameko Futurity at Doncaster last backend is the best piece of form on show. He’s had a winning re-appearance all be it at odds of 1/14 but he’s yet to run on good or faster ground. Brian Meehan’s Jayarebe has to shoulder a 3lb penalty but is another with a chance. In an open race I’m going with Bracken’s Laugh who could be quite good.   BRACKENS LAUGH 1 point win @ 10/3 bet365   Chester 3.40 The 1m 5 1/2F Group 3 Ormonde Stakes has attracted seven stayers with Aidan O’Brien’s Port Lonsdale the highest rated at the weights. He is one from one at the track which came in the Huxley Stakes at this meeting a year ago and he looks the one they all have to beat despite two defeats earlier this year in the Middle East. Arrest was a mightily impressive winner at this meeting last year in the Chester Vase but that came on very soft ground and I can’t entertain him today on ground that may be too fast for him. The blinkered first time Deauville Legend has some smart back form and if straight after 257 days could be the biggest danger to Port Lonsdale who’s the selection.   POINT LONSDALE 1 point win @ 9/4 bet365

Stall 13 wins the opener 😂 must be very well handicapped to win from there.

If you wanna win £ at the Chester May meeting , just back Ryan Moore's rides .
13 wins from last 24 rides , not bad .
A.Balding normally does well here , top of the head thought rather than pure stats so I maybe wrong .
Good luck with your bets today .

Light weights do very well in handicaps at Chester
Horses carrying 8st 7lbs to 8st 11lbs have 109 wins from 915 runs with a profit of 169 points

I think that (porta) is the bet to be honest i just thought "free" so win lose or draw might as well go with the biggest price 4 places and it is 4th on my list.

Well ...what a fantastic run by porta fortuna ....was just pipped by a no hoper .....got a fiver Ew at 25/1 and another fiver Ew at 20/1 ....so about +35.00 ..?....makes it about +52.00 for the guineas meeting .....I'm just really happy with the good runs and really enjoyed the joint ratings 🤠 

1.30 Chester The first of five races from Chester covered by the ITV cameras is this 6F class 3 three year old handicap in which as we all well know it pays to be draw low on this turning track. The last seven winners have been drawn 1,2,6,4,5 1, 5 and it’s easy to dismiss those drawn 7 or upwards on that account only. Tom Dascombe’s Old Chums is interesting from stall 2 as he arrives fit from a decent all-weather winter campaign but it’s the horse in the plum draw of 1, Beyond Borders that stands out as a good each way bet here. Karl Burke’s sprinter won four of his seven starts as a juvenile and although his recent run may have looked a tad disappointing at the time when you delve deeper into the form we can see it was a fair effort. He finished 6 1/2L runner up to Clive Cox’s improver Jame’s Delight who has gone on to win a class 2 handicap at Newmarket via a tilt at the Greenham Stakes. He’s now rated 9lb higher although that will increase when his latest success is taken into account. The third Bellarchi has won and placed 2nd since and is now 5lb higher whilst the fifth has also won since and is now 5lb higher. The selection has been dropped a pound for that run which came on heavy ground and he looks likely to be better served by better ground here and can run a blinder from the plum draw.   BEYOND BORDERS 1 point each way @ 10/1 William Hill 1/5th 1234 BEYOND BORDERS & DUE FOR LUCK (2.35) 1/4 point each way double 10/1 & 17/2 William Hill 1/5th 1234 both races.   Chester 2.05 Eleven juvenile fillies line up for the 5F Lily Agnes Conditions Stakes. George Boughey’s Night In Paris can run well but drawn nine of 9 is not a positive and a close eye must be kept on the two newcomers from local trainer Hugo Palmer in Arabian Cobar and Herecomesthebear who cost 60,000 guineas and 65,000 guineas respectively. In a tricky contest the pick however is Tom Dascombe’s Seraphim Angel who showed promise on her racecourse debut when fourth in a Newmarket fillies maiden at the Craven meeting. That form is yet to really be tested although the seventh (2L behind the selection) has finished runner up at Kempton since. Stall 6 should be ok and she can run well under Pierre-Louis Jamin.   SERAPHIM ANGEL 1 point each way @ 7/1 bet365 1/5th 123   Chester 2.35 Like the opener this is a tricky three year old handicap run over 5F which has attracted a maximum field of twelve. One that doesn’t appeal is the Tim Easterby trained Vince L’Amour who comes here chasing a hat trick but both those victories were gained in very soft ground and in lesser grade handicaps. Ed Bethell’s Kings Merchant is on the short list having bagged stall 1 and coming here in good form off of the all-weather winning his maiden at Wolverhampton in March from a dual winner since. This is his handicap debut and he can go well but the one I like is drawn alongside in stall 2 in John & Sean Quinn’s Due For Luck. He’s not been seen since October although was pulled out of a race at Thirsk 18 days ago due to soft ground but he did win first time out as a two year old by 2 1/2L. He should of won over course and distance last September when failing to get a run in going down by a head to Bazball. The Quinn’s were on the mark with the winner of the Thirsk Hunt Cup at the weekend and he appeals here each way from a tasty draw.   DUE FOR LUCK 1 point each way @ 17/2 William Hill 1/5th 1234   Chester 3.05 A field of nine line up for the listed Weatherbys E-Passport Cheshire Oaks, a trial for the Epsom Oaks. Aidan O’Brien has won five of the last eight renewals and saddles a brace here in Rubies Are Red and Port Fairy with Ryan Moore presumably picking the latter. She won a Dundalk maiden last time out and is hard to assess but is given plenty of respect. Ralph Beckett has yet to rally get going this season but did have an across the card double on Saturday so maybe he’s ready to spring into action now. He also saddles a brace of runners here in the shape of Seaward and Forest Fairy with the latter the one that appeals the most. She ran out an impressive 6L winner at Wolverhampton back in February against the colts (which included a pair of very well bred expensive Godolphin colts) and with an Epsom Oaks and Ribblesdale entry could be anything. Rossa Ryan was on board that night in February and she’s the bet.   FOREST FAIRY 1 point win @ 11/4 BetVictor   Chester 3.40 The 1M 4 1/2F Group 3 Boodles Chester Vase has attracted a small field of just six but is an intriguing contest nonetheless. Aidan O’Brien has farmed this race over the last decade winning it seven times and is represented by the top rated Grosvenor Square and Agenda. The former looks the pick as he is ridden by Ryan Moore and he looks sure to go close although he has to prove himself on good ground as all three of his career starts have come on soft ground. Andrew Balding’s Cadogan Place beat the Charlie Appleby trained Hidden Law at Southwell 41 days ago by a short head with Hidden Law going on and impressively taking a novices stakes contest at Newbury. Preference would be for the Godolphin runner and at the prices is the selection here to turn the tables on Cadogan Place and upset the favourite Grosvenor Square.   HIDDEN LAW 1 point win @ 3/1 bet365

Hugueneau 7:25 Utto (2/1 Bet365). Caught the eye at Market Rasen when not quite lasting home on rain softened ground. Good run back after a little break a Ffos Las and would go close with a similar effort here.

Newmarket 1.45 Sixteen speedy animals go to post for the 6F class 2 handicap. It looks open but my shortlist comprises of the unexposed Charlie Hills runner Rabaah who’s been gelded since a decent fifth at York last June. His trainer still thinks he can make up into a pattern performer so has to be given plenty of respect. The veteran Summerghand was a massive eye catcher last time when running on to finish in a similar handicap over course and distance at the Craven meeting to finish fifth. Will he back that run up though? I’m not sure. Also there with claims is the Jack Channon runner Chairmanoftheboard who was runner up in this last year from a one pound lower mark and showed he retains all of his ability when runner up in a similar contest at Newbury last month won by Wiltshire. He’s the main pick although I can’t resist a small each way saver on Rabaah.   CHAIRMANOFTHEBOARD 1 point each way @ 9/1 bet365 1/5th 12345 RABAAH 1/2 point each way @ 9/1 Coral 1/5th 12345   Goodwood 2.05 Eight fillies or mares have declared for this 1M listed William Hill Conqueror Fillies’ Stakes run over a mile. Most of these are proven on soft ground so the underfoot conditions shouldn’t be too much of an issue. Simon & Ed Crisford’s Choisya won at the big meeting here last August from the re-opposing Novus on soft ground and should strip fitter than most having run well when going down by a head in a listed race on the all-weather at Kempton last month. She should be thereabouts but it’s the lightly raced William Haggas trained Orchid Bloom that may be the answer to this puzzle. She has soft or heavy ground form figures of 112 with the latter second coming in a listed race at Saint-Cloud last September going down by the shortest of margins. She’s run well fresh in the past and can take the first prize under Cieran Fallon.   ORCHID BLOOM 1 point win @ 7/2 Betfred   Newmarket 2.20 Another class 2 sixteen runner handicap with this one being run over 1M 1F. Again the race has a wide open look about it with the most interesting runner being the John & Thady Gosden entry Torito who was last seen running fourth at Royal Ascot in the Group 3 Hampton Court Stakes. He is 10lb higher now but if straight enough can feature at the business end. Plenty of these would prefer softer conditions and they include the likes of Liberty Lane, Mr Professor, Lattam and Theoryofeverything. One horse who won’t mind what the underfoot conditions are is Charlie Johnston’s Dutch Decoy who ran the re-opposing Hafeet Alain to a nose here at the Craven meeting and meets his rival on 4lb better terms which should be enough to turn the tables on him. The other Charlie Johnston runner here is Lion Of War who has the services of Oisin Murphy and returns to the Johnston stable having raced (just the once) for Brendan Walsh in America. He had previously ben a useful sort in handicaps notably when runner up at Royal Ascot in the Golden Gates Handicap off a mark 5lb lower than today’s. He can also be competitive but in a race where it may pay to keep stakes small the pick is the Dutch Decoy.   DUTCH DECOY 1 point each way @ 8/1 Coral 1/5th 12345   Thirsk 2.40 A maximum field of sixteen head to post for Thirsk’s big race of the day in the Vickers.bet Thirsk Hunt Cup run over a mile. Last year’s one - two Northern Express and Pisanello are back to challenge for the valuable prize and it maybe last year’s runner up Pisanello that can turn the table’s on his old rival on 5lb better terms for that 3/4L defeat. That was his first run of the season so we know that he can go well fresh and he went on from that fine effort to strike twice later in the season at Hamilton. He’s back on his last winning mark and an inside draw of stall one is always favourable on the turning track at Thirsk. Mark Winn has got on well with David O’Meara’s seven year old in the past, including in this race last year and looks good each way value in an open contest in which he could easily have been targeted at.   PISANELLO 1 point each way @ 8/1 bet365 1/5th12345   Newmarket 2.55 A rather disappointing renewal of the 5F Group 3 William Hill Palace House Stakes with eight going to post. The best in at the weights is the Charlie Hills trained Mitbaahy who ran well at the last meeting on his first run for Hills when fourth of 14 in the Group 3 Abernant Stakes won by Washington Heights. A reproduction of that run should see him go close and he’s the pick ahead of the only three year old in the field, the Karl Burke trained filly Beautiful Diamond who was last seen winning a listed race at Ayr at the Western meeting.   MITBAAHY 1 point win @ 7/2 Unibet   Newmarket 3.35 The first classic of the season is the Qipco 2000 Guineas run over a mile and this Group One contest has attracted eleven runners. At the top of the betting is the potential superstar City Of Troy. Aidan O’Brien’s unbeaten Justify colt has looked a bit special in winning his three races as a juvenile culminating in success here over 7F in the Dewhurst. The extra furlong will not be a problem nor will any further easing of the ground. He’ll be very hard to beat and has the potential to be the best we’ve seen for a very long time. Second favourite Rosallion will be no pushover though as he was a very useful two year old who took the Group 1 Prix Jean-Lagardere at Longchamp on Arc weekend. His only disappointing run last year came on very soft ground so he wouldn’t want the ground to get too soft. Two interesting runners are the unbeaten pair of the Charlie Appleby trained Notable Speech who showed a sparkling turn of foot to win on the all weather a month ago at Kempton and the Karl Burke trained Night Raider who’s looked good in winning two all-weather races and again impressed in a racecourse gallop at the Craven meeting. Both have to prove themselves on turf mind and the selection has to be City Of Troy who could be very special. If he wins this he will be a very short price for the Derby so maybe back him in the special price 2000/Derby double rather than at today’s cramped odds.   CITY OF TROY 2 points win double (to win 2000 Gns & Derby) 2/1 Ladbrokes
