Check out our recommended multiple bet for Thursday's ITV action at Chester.
CLEARPOINT – 1.30 Chester
He’s in good form right now and, with a handy low draw, expect a bold bid from CLEARPOINT.
Now with Simon Hodgson, he did well to finish fourth at Epsom last time having been hampered and finding himself with plenty to do. He’s quick and on a very fair mark.
CELTIC WARRIOR – 2.35 Chester
Never So Brave will be a warm order here but CELTIC WARRIOR looks a solid alternative at a much more attractive price.
Andrew Balding has shown a sure touch with his handicappers at Chester over the years and this son of Saxon Warrior is progressing all the time, is housed in stall two and should get a nice handy pitch throughout the early stages of the race.
JAYAREBE – 3.05 Chester
He has a three-pound penalty to carry which won’t make things easy but JAYAREBE is fancied to follow up his taking win in the Feilden Stakes last time.
That three-and-a-quarter lengths defeat of Whip Cracker represented a career best effort, he’s only had three starts to date so is clearly capable of improving again and the drying ground holds no fears for him.
ALKASIB – 3.40 Chester
He was one of the most progressive handicappers of last season and ALSAKIB is fancied to register a first pattern success here.
He shaped very much as if needing the run on his return in the John Porter and is entitled to come forward significantly for it. He needs to but the ground is fine for him and the Balding team is in great form.
