17:45 (Chester) Legal Reform

Legal Reform is in the form of his life at present and this track shouldn't inconvenience him as he looks to bring up the four-timer.

A 4lb rise for his most recent success may underestimate him and he is preferred to the likes of Leicester runner-up Roach Power, and Devilwala, whose last win came over C&D last September.

Stablemates Pearly Star and Princess Niyla both scored over C&D on their most recent starts and they are hard to separate in this contest.

18:55 (Chester) Gray's Inn

The value may lie with Gray's Inn, who was an eye-catcher on her first run for the Jack Channon stable when not beaten far in third at Haydock last month.

A winner of a seller at Musselburgh prior to that, she should be open to further improvement over this distance.

Lady Wulfrun has improved with each of her three qualifying runs and could be feasibly treated off an opening mark of 71, while Persian Phoenix got off the mark in fine style at Wolverhampton and is drawn to attack once more from stall two.

19:30 (Chester) Demilion

Cormier will need a market check on his return from a lengthly absence as his best form would put him right in the picture.

Box To Box will be popular after his win over course and distance four weeks ago, battling on well and has only been nudged up 3lb for that victory.

It may be worth taking a chance on Demilion, though, as he could get a soft time of things on the front end, with his three-year-old allowances potentially giving him an edge, and Franny Norton rides this track so well.

20:05 (Chester) Bezzas Lad

Bezzas Lad performed with huge credit from a wide draw here last time and, having bagged stall three this time around, he looks sure to run a big race dropping back half a furlong in trip.

Origintrail shaped well on her return to action at York last time and the previous course winner is a player back in trip.

Roman Dragon won well here last time and, with his rider's claim offsetting most of his rise in the weights, is likely to get involved in what looks a tight contest.
