Verdict

Matterhorn looks sure to be popular after his all-weather success last time out but with slight concerns over conditions here, it might be worth taking a chance on SUCCESS DAYS who will love these conditions. He's a game sort who can be hard to pass and he rates as the type of course that could appreciate the unique test of Chester. Last year's winner Forest Ranger is an obvious danger, though he may have wanted conditions a little quicker. Addeybb is another mud lover who can't be ruled out.
