Hi all,
Chester’s May Festival gets underway this afternoon and today’s selections are from there.
Chester
3:15 – Hadrianus – 11/2 @ Bet365 & Coral – A Kempton all-weather, the selection ran well when a ¾ length 2nd of 5 to Epictetus in listed race at Epsom 15-days ago. Just done for speed over 1m 2f last time and shaped like the step up to 1m 4f will bring out more progress. Soft ground didn’t faze him at Epsom and if he gets an uncontested lead might be hard to pass.
4:55 – Another Batt – 5/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Failed to win last season, but the 8-year-old looked back to form when a 4 length 4th of 13 to Isla Kai at Ripon 11-days ago. He wasn’t the best away that day and met a bit of trouble 1f out before running on. Stall 11 isn’t great (last year’s winner came out off 11) but he’s become nicely treated.
Cheers
John
