Hi all,
Between the final two furlongs it was looking good for Artistic Rifles, but he was just worried out of it and had to settle for a one length third at the finish. The winning run of six is now over.
The potential for rain and lots of it makes Chester a tough card to negotiate. There are also three Summer jumps cards that could be affected by rain. A tricky day’s punting until you know how much rain has fallen or not.
Chester
4:05 – Future Investment – 5/1 @ William Hill & Bet365 – The selection made an encouraging racecourse debut when 3rd of 16 to the useful Telecaster on his racecourse debut at Windsor 23-days ago. With normal improvement he should be capable of landing a maiden/novice in the coming weeks. The going is a bit of an unknown, but his full sister Mountain Bell won on soft ground at Windsor and here at Chester. May end up being better over slightly further but has a better draw in 3 than main rival Mons Star who also needs respecting after his promising 4th of 9 on his racecourse debut at the Craven Meeting.
Cheers
John
