A Chance At Chester

Today's action comes to us from Chester, and the horse I like, What Say You,  goes in the Chesire Oaks, a trial for the big one at Epsom later this year. This horse is trained by the man with the midas touch when it comes to fillies, Rae Guest, and is ridden by the champion jockey Richard Hughes. 

She was beaten into 4th on debut, before winning her maiden as she liked on her next start, making all and leaving a host of decent horses trailing in her wake. Behind her that day was Lady Of Dubai, who won next time out before finishing a close 2nd to Irish Rookie, who ran a fine race in the 1000 Guineas on Sunday. 

She was stepped up in class to the Rockfel over 7f on her next outing, and finished 6th of 9, beaten 7 lengths. In front of her that day were the likes of Lucida and New Providence, who have both gone on to prove themselves capable of useful form. On pedigree today's trip should suit and  the ground should be fine. Her full brother Martin Chuzzlewit  has a place to his name around this quirky track on soft ground so the tight turns shouldn't be an issue. His best run came over this trip too.  Her draw in 5 should be ok  as long as she doesn't miss the break. The current price of 8/1 looks overly generous to me, and this horse has serious claims if ready to go after her winter break. 

Selection: What Say You 2.40 Chester 8/1.
