Chester Race 4 - Wilson Family Hcp

Two-time course and distance winner CALICO BLUE (2) arrives in strong form this year with an excellent fourth in the 1000m Palace of Holyroodhouse Handicap at Royal Ascot preceding a neck second contesting a 1200m Heritage Handicap at Newmarket two weeks ago. Hard to beat dropping in grade. GRASMERE BOY (3) bids for a hat-trick after a 1L success in a lower level course and distance handicap a fortnight ago. Ticks plenty of boxes. TRICKY TEL (5) is proven at this level having scored by a neck here two starts ago trying 1000m. Every chance. RAY MON DOUGH (4) can progress further making handicap debut.
