Came good for new yard during second half of 2021, scoring over 1¼m here prior to following up at Catterick (1½m) in October. Likely his Thirsk reappearance was needed 4 weeks ago but this is a marked step up in trip.

10/1
Progressive staying handicapper who defied another rise in weights to enhance his tally over 15.9f here last June. Ran a cracker when runner-up at Ascot (2m) final start in August and of interest back at this extended staying trip on return.

Produced one of his better efforts when runner-up over 15.9f here in August but never figured either start thereafter and he'll need to step up on last month's Thirsk reappearance run to figure for all his mark is easing.

4-y-o who landed back-to-back handicaps at around 12f last year prior to solid runners-up efforts at up to 2m, latterly at Haydock in October. Respectable third on AW return (14f) 17 days ago and he may not have reached his limit just yet.

Made a sound start on AW for new yard, going in again over 2m at Kempton in March. Solid second from the front at Wolverhampton (14f) 5 weeks ago, reeled in by one displaying an impressive burst of pace. Good showing not ruled out.

Finally came good at cramped odds in a Southwell novice (12f) in March and typically gave his running back in stronger company since, runner-up in a Newbury handicap (16.5f) last time. Not ruled out tackling this longer trip.

Quickly dispelled lesser effort when back to winning ways at York (2m) in July. Mixed bag thereafter but returned to form when fourth of 9 at Kempton (2m) in October. Back on last winning mark for return.

Dual 12f winner on turf during 2019 who ran respectably on handful of occasions in staying handicaps last summer. Rare poor effort at Nottingham final start but winless run is off-putting ahead of return.

Dual purpose performer who ran well when third in this race 12 months ago. Successful over hurdles in January and possible he found Imperial Cup assignment a bit tough in March. Each-way claims back on Flat.

Low-mileage on Flat (winner at 2m) who has proved progressive over hurdles, gaining fourth victory at Hereford (25.5f) in February. Creditable second at Chepstow (19.5f) in March and intriguing contender back on the level for yard/rider that landed this 12 months ago.

Hurdles winner who showed fairly useful form when successful on Flat at Pontefract (17f) back in summer 2019. However, absent since finishing midfield at Newcastle (12.5f) during early 2021 and market best guide having re-joined former stable.

Forecasts

Bellatrixsa (13/8), Auriferous (3/1), Hydroplane (6/1), Call My Bluff (10/1), Emiyn (12/1), Justus (12/1), Chase The Dollar (14/1), Haveyoumissedme (16/1), Mancini (22/1), Dance To Paris (25/1), Indianapolis (40/1), Michael's Mount (50/1)

16:55 Chester - 6 May 2022 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

A low-mileage winner on the Flat, BELLATRIXSA has progressed into a useful mare over hurdles, adding a fourth win in that discipline to her tally at Hereford in February. A good second at Chepstow in March, she's very interesting from this mark back on the level for the trainer/jockey combination that landed this with Green Book 12 months ago. Auriferous and Call My Bluff rate next best, ahead of Haveyoumissedme.
