Chester Race 3 - Boodles Raindance Dee Stakes (Listed)
Aidan O'Brien has won a staggering seven of the last eight renewals of this Listed prize and it's no shock to see him with a strong hand once more. The Ryan Moore-ridden CONSTITUTION RIVER (3) looks a major player following his success in the 1400m G2 Futurity Stakes at the Curragh last season. Will relish stepping up in trip on his reappearance and is considered. MORSHDI (1) represents a top yard in excellent form and has the benefit of recent fitness after winning the 1800m Listed Feilden Stakes at Newmarket (Rowley). FLUSHING MEADOWS (4) was only eighth in the G3 Red Rocks Stakes on his return. Might appreciate going up in trip. Impressive debut Doncaster winner GOLDEN STORY (6) rates next best.

Second run back. First-up after six months won by 1.0 len at Newmarket (Rowley) LR Feilden Stakes April 15 over 1800m defeating Poseidon's Warrior with 58kg at $15. Previously second-up won by a neck at York October 11 over 1590m defeating Arabian Desert with 60.5kg at $4.30. Hard to tip against him on that sort of form. In form and looks a top chance again.

Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, 2nd of 11 at Kempton Park All Weather on March 25 over 1600m, head behind Enemy Agent with 56.5kg at $4.50. Second-up won by 3 len at Great Yarmouth April 11 over 1600m defeating My Mate Roger carrying 57.5kg at $3.30. Meets a tough line-up and prefer others.
