Verdict

A hard race to call given that the likely market fancies have been done few favours by the draw and Circuit Dancer is given the chance at big odds to beat recent winners Seafield Towers and Inter Vision. Circuit Dancer is trained by Alan Berry. The Berry Family are no stranger to success at the Roodeye and this may be the one to be on today. The horse was a little disappointing in a Classified Stakes at Newcastle last time out and while this run is not forgotten; the track at Chester could well suit his style of racing. Seafield Towers would probably be a shoe-in were he better drawn. He won a decent York Handicap from 4lbs out of the handicap and while he is not harshly treated under the penalty; the draw of nine does not bode too well. Musical Fair, who finished third, reopposes today and is significantly better drawn. Former course winner, Inter Vision looked to be returning back to form when landing some decent bets at Ripon but he is drawn in eight today. Bandit Queen won easily at Kempton and hails from a very much in-form yard. The track at Kempton couldn't be more different so her backers will be taking it very much on trust. In a tricky race, Circuit Dancer could provide the each-way value in the contest.
