Chester Race 2 - Virgin Bet Chester Stakes (Listed)

BY THE BOOK (2) is racing consistently with one win and four placed efforts past six starts including when second in the 2400m Listed Charlie Wood Stakes at Beverley. May go one better. LAZY GRIFF (1) is markedly down in grade after finishing seventh in the 3200m G1 Goodwood Cup. Gained a 2.75L triumph in the Listed Esher Stakes attempting the same journey at Sandown Park. Can return to winning ways. FANTASY WORLD (4) makes first appearance on the flat since securing victory in the Listed Noel Murless Stakes at Ascot last October. Might pick up from where he left off. MIDAK (5) rounds out the shortlist.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 50-day let-up. Most recently 2nd in a small field in the LR Coral Marathon (Esher Stakes) at Sandown Park on July 3 over 3200m, 2.75 len behind Lazy Griff with 56kg at $13. The start before that 4th of 10 in the LR Preis der Baden-Badener Hotellerie & Gastronomie at Baden Baden on June 4 over 2200m, 2.5 len behind Ruby Lips with 57kg at $4.10. In form and certainly worth following up.
