Chester 6.50

I always think Course experience is a big asset here and very few have strong credentials in that regard.

There is a fair bit of rain about and it's showery so you have to take that in to account. A lot have AW form and form requiring Good to Firm but a couple stand out and have the added benefit of not being ground dependent and giving me a nice draw spread.

Roundhay Park is drawn one, CD winner and below its last win mark for a yard that's getting some regular winners so no excuses there. On normal Good / Good to Firm trnds has the plum draw.

Gabriel The Wire again gets a bum wrap in terms of draw in Stall 13 and disappointed whrn tipped here last time whn early pace was key. He did run well enough though considering the conditions that day and any easing in the ground helps him. He does handle good to Firm too. He's off a reduced mark in an easier race and could run a place at big odds (which are based on the perception about the high draw)
