    I bet that 50's chance gave you a bit of a fright Smiffy.
    It was hard to separate them in real time .

    I thought it had been chinned at first and was shocked that it held on.

    I've seen it done at Chester from a high draw, but he will need to fly out the stalls. The 6f start is straight into a bend (I know you know that) but there is a bit of room down the back.

    It's not impossible but it makes it a lot harder, you have to wonder when the likes of Johnstone and Hannon get the best draws how credible the draw really is.

    The Chester festival are so fearful of horses pulling out due to the bad draw that they pay each entrant £500 who races.

    The camp are split about whether to withdraw, we are going to see if any others drop out in the morning before Muir makes the final decision.

    2:40 Somehow

    Win double pays about 5/2

    3:10 Duke of Clarence 33/1 ew

    3:45 Kimberella

    First off Good Luck for tomorrow Smiffy. I will be there at some point as our yard has runner in the 1620, Madam Dancealot so will watch with interest. Staying over for 2 nights. Our horse Fast Dancer runs on Friday over 7.
    Like Smiffy the draw was and is a concern 8 of 14.
    But he likes it here, his three runs are 1-2-2 and got runner up when drawn 7. As usual will run prominently and hope for the breaks off final bend.

    Worth noting that the horse that finished one place ahead of Florencio at Newmarket, Suqoor, bolted up on the polytrack at Lingfield last week.

    Good luck fellas, enjoy it.
    Just think back a year, having a horse entered at Chester races is amazing, regardless of result.

    Enjoy it

    Only one drawn outside - missing runners were drawn 4, 9 & 13 so Florenicio is, effectively, now in stall 9 of 11. Both Koukash withdrawn runners are in the Chester 3.45 tomorrow and Outback Blue is in the Ascot 8.10.

    Dwyer will just have to tuck in and hope that it is a fast run race and that the gaps do appear.

    Good luck Smiffy.

    Apologies AddictedOne I am indeed talking bXXXXXks. So used am I, from my former life as the person in charge of the team in applying reduction factors for N/Rs on Betfair, that I marked the dread "black spot" that signify doubly engaged horses as the N/Rs, when in fact Outback Blue is not a N/R.

    Such is David Evans' modus operandi I would not mind betting that the horse takes its chance at Ascot tomorrow too - and runs a big race even if he doesn't today.
