CHESTER

Copper Knight

1.50pm
6/4 from 9/4

COPPER KNIGHT has a plum draw in stall 1 and has been backed to make the most of it. A course and distance winner, and twice a winner at this very fixture, he made a promising return to action and should be absolutely spot on for what was surely an early season target.

Sam Cooke

4.35pm
5/2 from 4/1

Ralph Beckett is a man in form and, having banged in a winner at Chester yesterday, punters have backed his SAM COOKE to score today. Now clear favourite, he steps up half a mile (which he's certainly bred for!) and makes his handicap debut on his first run of the season. He should capable of more over this distance, for all that it looks a competitive race!

We pay AN EXTRA PLACE on 3pm at Chester, the 4.45pm at Wolves and the 5.40pm at Tipperary.
