Chester Race 2 - Ladbrokes Get More With Racing Bet Builder Hcp
COMIC HERO (11) improved when second tackling 1600m at Newmarket beaten only a neck after racing prominently. Holds ability to test this field despite needing another step forward. Leading contender. STARTLED (6) won two straight before finding one better attempting 1400m at Goodwood and looks a strong chance to atone. Represents the main danger. MASKED WARRIOR (3) was impressive when scoring contesting 1400m at Kempton Park All Weather by 3.5L and should secure a good position from the low draw. Makes appeal. PENNY TIME (5) was second at Southwell All Weather and might be fully fit now. Not discounted.

Second-up. Comes off a 41-day let-up. First-up after eight months ran last in a small field at Hamilton Park on May 3 over 1700m, 5 len behind Conclave carrying 61.5kg at $3.50. Previously second-up won by 0.8 len at York September 7 over 1400m defeating Valenday carrying 60.5kg at $9. Harder here though and prepared to risk this time.
