Forecasts
Bit Of A Quirke (3/1), Dark Devil (9/2), Heart Of Soul (9/2), Miss Sheridan (9/2), Medalla De Oro (6/1), Swift Emperor (9/1), Dragon Mountain (9/1), Redgrave (11/1), Citta D'Oro (12/1), Garden Oasis (22/1), Maghfoor (25/1), Thaayer (25/1), Elhafei (33/1), Valentine Mist (66/1)
As usual at Chester gaining a good track position will be vital and last year’s winner BIT OF A QUIRKE looks to have hit the jackpot in drawing stall 1 off just a 4lb higher mark this time around coming here off another Beverley win. Course winner Dark Devil may be undone by the wide draw this time around while Miss Sheridan would be a danger if she could be guaranteed to stay this trip. Swift Emperor is another to have struck lucky in the Chester draw lottery but he’s not the easiest to win with often flattering to deceive. Citta D’Oro nicely berthed in stall 5 makes some appeal if you can overlook his seemingly poor run last time when badly drawn.
