CHESTER

Ptarmigan Ridge

1.50pm
2/1 from 3/1

PTARMIGAN RIDGE has a plum draw in stall 2 and has been backed to make the most of it. He was a good second on his season appearance and his first run for the yard and will likely come on for that experience. He's the only one punters want in this as they look to get the day off to a flyer!

Austrian School

3.35pm
3/1 from 4/1

AUSTRIAN SCHOOL is all the rage for the Chester Cup and he's well in under just a 3lb penalty for picking up a big pot at Musselburgh on his seasonal reapperance. Johnston horses have a habit of going on a bit of a run once they get their head in front and this half-brother to Tiger Roll (!) should find stamina no issue as he steps up in trip today. Stall 5 is ideal and the 4yo has won at this course as well. Rock-solid profile.

We pay AN EXTRA PLACE on this race!
