Chester 3.00
By UK Flat / AW (Northern)
Chester 3.00 - Tim Easterby usually takes a while to get in to swing and a lot need a run and AASHEQ looks well primed here after a couple of runs. It has good Class 2 form, best on soft or heavy Going and has some good form over this Course and Distance. The mark has sneaked up but that is as a result of some consistent form, and significant early season form seems a trend too. The Draw in 10 would not usually be ideal but we aren't seeing much win from low and off the front so no excuses on that score.
Plenty of dangers at the top end of the market, Epaulment will be huge danger but is a big built horse who may prefer a more galloping straight track or long straight, Frankuus has shown signs of temprement that may not be suited to this goldfish bowl and Restorer who won this last year may not be so well handicapped this in what looks a stronger field. There may be a nice Tricast lurking though with those 4 in various random lines.
