1:50 Chester - 10 Runners Stalls 1 - 4 have a 76% strike rate, so expect the winner to be Arthurthedelagator, Atteq, Tennessee Rose and Love Oasis. Atteq and Love Oasis lead the others in the betting. 4:00 - 10 Runners Same as above the first 4 stalls have a 76% strike rate so Smart Daisy K, Powerallied, Snap Shots and Lexis Hero - Lexi's Hero for me but Powerallied fave 4:35 - 12 runners Not enough stats but i recommend sticking to stalls 1 -6 (half the stalls) have a 77% strike rate.  

1st Gang Warfare 16/1 - 85 2nd Steve Rogers 10/1 - 50 2nd Arch Villain 16/1 - 50 2nd Moscato 16/1 - 50 2nd Seismos 50/1 - 50 I actually like Nakeeta in this but the horse scored 5 points, very disappointing, However Nakeeta has a big chance based on his 2nd in the Chester Cup last time out. Gang Warfare and Steve Rogers are unbeaten on tapeta, and both have to be strong contenders. here. There are too many to go into details here as very close on stats. Gang Warfare streaked ahead of these on stats and i am happy to have a small bet My Selection: Gang Warfare 16/1

1st Norse Magic 15/2 - 45 1st China Girl 13/2 - 45 2nd Lulani 11/2 - 35 Not a great race this, not many stats to go on. Lulani is a winner on soft and Norse Magic has placed on soft. Norse Magic also has an ok stall so i am happy to side with NM, Its a tight race though, nothing stands out. If you like these 3 i would not dissuade you on backing them My Selection: Norse Magic 15/2

1st Idaho 9/4 - 115 2nd Port Douglas 16/1 - 85 3rd Harzand 10/11 - 65 Surprised Harzand did not score more but Idaho has won at this course. Where as Harzand has raced on a similar track but got beat, it was his debut though so probably should be ignored, thats the difference in the scores. Port Douglas has also won here. Its a tough race to assess as most the horses have good stats however i am happy with this result, maybe a rfc. or a combined TC My Selection: Idaho 9/4

Cougar Mountain 1st Cougar Mountain 7/2 - 90 2nd Foxtrot Charlie 7/2 - 65 3rd Brendan Bracken 11/1 - 60 3rd Sovereign Debt 10/3 - 60 Interesting race this, Cougar Mountain is a horse i follow so i am pleased he came top. There are several things you need to know about CM, one - he is a faster ground horse, two - 1m is his best distance and three - he has always been very well though off. I have been a big critic of AOB about this horse, as for some reason AOB never runs him on his preferred ground. 3 times he got his preferred ground and his result were 1, 4, 1. The 4th he was in the Coral Eclipse, beaten by non other than Golden Horn, The Grey Gatsby and Western Hymn. You can discount any run  on Good-soft or softer with him as he hates the ground. He has raced 6 times on good, and never won. Worrying you might think? but seeing as 5 of the races we Group 1and only one was a group 3 (he got beaten by a short head and had 3 of todays runners well behind) If the ground Fi
