Chester Race 7 - Chester Handicap (GBBPlus Race)

MYTHICAL BAY (7) looks another live contender for the Andrew Balding and Oisin Murphy duo. The gelding was a neck winner when last seen over 1900m at Wolverhampton in January and a step up in distance could help him progress. MOMENT OF LIGHT (4) brings live claims for a hat-trick with experience tackling the trip having landed a Kempton handicap over 2200m. GALILEAN QUALITY (5) is also here off the back of two wins. He scored by 2L attempting 2400m match race twenty six days ago. MAGNETUDE (8) finished behind the just mentioned at Southwell. Will have something to find however is open to further improvement. Cheekpieces are added which could help.

Second-up. First-up after five months ran last of 8 at Newmarket (Rowley) on April 15 over 2000m, 104 len behind Archers Bay with 61kg at $23. Previously second-up second last of 7 at Toulouse in LR on November 11 over 1600m, 4 len behind Go Man with 57kg at $4.20. Looks a fair way off peak form so others are preferred.

Second-up. First-up after seven months won by 2 len at Southwell All Weather April 11 over 2400m defeating Magnetude carrying 61kg at $1.90. Previously second-up 4th of 7 at Ayr on September 20 over 1400m, on a slow track; 5.5 len behind Nobody Knows carrying 59kg at $9. Hard to tip against him on that sort of form. Fitter and can measure up again.
