Chester 4:15

Strictly Silver ran a decent race here 2 runs ago off a 9lbs higher mark and a repeat of that with an additional 5lbs claimer on today should bring him right into the firing line. We have to forgive a poor run last time out but that is reflected in what looks an over generous 25/1. He won last year of 97 and if he can get back to form at all that price is going to look very big.

Going with a shot in the dark here in L’Ami Louis. He has been out of form for a long time but has slipped to a very low mark and is bound to pop up at some stage. He wouldn’t have to get back to his best to be competitive of this mark.

Above Standard was very consistent last year and considering he won first time out last year I wouldn’t be surprised if he is ready to go here today. He has a 7lbs claimer on today and 14/1 looks a couple of points too big.

This is one hell of a tight 5 furlong handicap and I’m going to go with a couple of big outsiders that will require a return to form to get involved.  Doc Hay is going to need a miracle based on his current form but he should be suited by the conditions here and is down to a decent mark here for this big prize. 33/1 is over the threshold where it worth taking a risk. In Addition Masamah looks overpriced at 25/1 given his very decent place form over the last year or 2 and he is well capable of getting out in front and not getting caught here.
