4/1
Won a 1m½f Nottingham maiden in the autumn, but was last of seven in Sandown's Classic Trial on his reappearance run, his first after wind surgery. Drop in trip and faster ground should see him in a better light.

Dragon Moon22
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-8| J: A Kirby| T: R Hannon
5/2
Promise on debut in a warm Newmarket maiden before justifying favouritism in a 6f AW maiden at Lingfield. The runner-up has franked the form so he is one to take seriously.

Caradoc164
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-2| J: P Cosgrave| T: E Walker
15/8
A 270,000 gns yearling by Camelot, he is a half-brother to three winners including the Group placed two-year old Arcada. Promise when fourth of 12 on debut at Kempton and should have learned from the experience.

Lopito199
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Watson(5)| T: A M Balding
12/1
Son of Lope De Vega who cost £32,000 as a yearling and is a half-brother to four winners from 5f-1m3f. Needed his debut run at Nottingham in the autumn and that may be the case again on his return to action.

Horse silk
33/1
Gelded son of Makfi who is a half-brother to five winners on the Flat and over hurdles. Likely to need this first appearance on the racecourse.

125/1
Sent off at big prices and has failed to hit the frame in five starts, one of them on the AW. Well beaten at this venue last time and is difficult to make a case for.

Wind Storm30
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-11| J: Louis Steward| T: R M Beckett| BF
5/1
Shaped well on debut at Lingfield, but failed to justify favouritism at Beverley over 1m½f on her second start. Shapes as though this slightly shorter trip will be in her favour.

Forecasts

Caradoc (15/8), Dragon Moon (5/2), Come On Tier (4/1), Wind Storm (5/1), Lopito (12/1), Make Me (33/1), Rockesbury (125/1)

13:45 Chester - 26 May 2018 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

Wind Storm should be more effective down in trip, but the two to concentrate on are Dragon Moon, whose Lingfield win has been franked by the subsequent success of the runner-up, and COME ON TIER. The selection takes a sharp drop in class and ought to appreciate this faster ground. Caradoc looks the best of the rest.
