2-2 at Chester, gamely making most over C&D last time; should put up another bold show
11 (4)	Wen Moon Bay J:Franny Norton T:Ben Haslam	J:Franny Norton T:Ben Haslam	127	t	052330	82	105	94	10d	—	—	+1	18.1	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Better than result at York; shaped well both previous visits to Chester; interesting

Inconsistent and winless in Britain; swaps cheekpieces for visor after poor run last time
10 (10)	Paws For Thought Bay J:Richard Kingscote T:Donald McCain	J:Richard Kingscote T:Donald McCain	130	p	878612	85	102	80	27d	—	—	+12	24.1	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Chester specialist, winner and second here last two starts; should be in the mix once more

Disappointing in the main this year; needs gelding operation to have had a positive effect
5 (11)	Roman Dragon Bay J:Daniel Tudhope T:Hugo Palmer	J:Daniel Tudhope T:Hugo Palmer	134	—	124900	89	104	82	28d	—	—	+3	13.8	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Drawn wide and recent efforts below par, but loves Chester and could revive back here
1 (7)	Flaming Rib Bay J:Jason Hart T:Hugo Palmer	J:Jason Hart T:Hugo Palmer	142	—	7-0008	97	103	61	27d	—	—	+6	13.9	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Little form this year but there have been excuses; 2-3 at Chester; impossible to rule out
2 (6)	The Bell Conductor Bay J:William Pyle(5) T:Craig Lidster	J:William Pyle(5) T:Craig Lidster	140	—	191459	95	103	84	70d	—	0W/0P 1 run	+10	15.9	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Ninth in Wokingham last time; this is less competitive but doubts about his stamina remain
8 (5)	Emperor Spirit Bay J:Alistair Rawlinson T:Robert Cowell	J:Alistair Rawlinson T:Robert Cowell	133	tp	-24289	88	104	84	14d	—	—	+9	14.4	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Pace-setter who was second at Ascot in July but has failed to repeat the form twice since
3 (3)	Mcmanaman Bay J:Cieren Fallon T:Ian Williams	J:Cieren Fallon T:Ian Williams	139	—	3-4417	94	98	89	176d	—	—	+10	14.1	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Won 7f handicap in Dubai in February; worth a market check on first start for new yard
