He ran well at York last time out and he’s in really good form at home. Drawing stall nine of nine around Chester is not ideal, though, so we’ll see what happens.

16/1

You know I like horses for courses and we’re bringing him back to Chester where he won by four lengths the last time he was here. He’s been running well, but again he’s not done well with the draw out in stall 10.

He’s been in good form and I’m very happy with him. The handicapper has given him a chance now and he’s fared well with the draw in stall five. I’ve put cheekpieces on him just to help him and sharpen him up a bit.

Musselburgh

He runs in the seller at Salisbury on Friday so will probably be taken out of this.

40/1

She disappointed me over six furlongs at Newcastle last time so we’re dropping back to five here. I’m happy with her at home so hopefully she can quickly put the bad run behind her.

18:52 Ziggy’s Condor

He’s an extremely well handicapped horse now off 73 and I’d be hopeful he’ll be really competitive. Seven furlongs around Musselburgh should suit him well.
