BillyHills Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 405 Chester Kachy 6/4 Hills Despite the wide draw I think Kachy will be hard to beat here. He is perfect for Chester and has won here twice previously. The yard love to have winners here and this will have been the plan for sometime.

jonshell Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 3:25 Lingfield JUMIRA BRIDGE 5/2 Bet365 Ran well last twice and this more realistic and cheekpieces on for first time. 4:45 Curragh MATHS PRIZE 9/1 PP Lost his way a little for Roger Charlton after promising start to career. Not to bad a run in Irish Lincoln last time and this looks more realistic now he drops in Grade. 6:15 Notts MAGNOLIA SPRINGS 11/2 Bet365 Ran well at 25/1 first time up last year and didn't run that bad in Listed event again at Newbury staying on quite well once in the clear. Could show a lot more here. 7:40 Ascot NORMANDY BARRIERE 11/1 Bet365 Ladbrokes E/W back to last winning mark and has ran well first time up past few seasons. Good Record here and won this last year. Trainer in good form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCC Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 These are my picks for today, hoping for good runs from them all and maybe a couple of winners. Not So Sleepy 15:00 Chester If in the mood he will go very close as he boasts a course win, loves the ground, has beaten better horses than this, has a good draw, is weighted to get up first and has the assistance of Graham Lee, who although a decent jockey excels at Bath and Chester. The only downsides are his lack of racing (only 19 runs for a 6yo suggests he may be a bit injury prone) and his lack of recent form which I attribute to not adapting to the all weather and never going on the quagmire at Doncaster. Backed at 10/1 with Bet365 Maghaweer 15:55 Lingfield The appearance of Nicklaus is keeping this one of the fav's position. Maghaweer boasts the better form, Richard Hannon can't stop winning (Guineas 66/1 winner demonstrates his current form), Jim Crowley up. Took a chance at 7/2 Paddy Power Raucous 19:40 Ascot Think this has a chance of getting in the frame, the Gosden horse should walk it but he has been off for a couple of seasons so nothing is proved yet. Backed at 14/1 Ew with Bet365 Daira Prince 18:45 Nottingham Has been gelded and wears first time blinkers, if fit enough should have a great chance. Has a great draw and comes from a top stable that does well here. Lamloom is the obvious choice in this race but after only 7 starts I think Daira Prince has the scope to improve further. 5/1 Bet365 Thiswaycadeaux 15.40 Curragh Okay on the ground, has contested better races than this previously and has been upped in trip to something more suitable, he did well to go close over 5.8 furlongs last time out so the extra furlong here with a pound less to carry should be spot on. He is open to further improvement as this is only his 6th race. The downside is the size of the field, the number of hcap debutants and the lack of experience of his jockey. The draw is not an issue at the Curragh but the skill of the rider in getting a good course position counts for a lot. 15/2 Bet365 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
