Chester Race 8

Cruzcampo Handicap (Gbbplus Race)

Stake: $35,867

EY UP ITS THE BOSS (1) secured an impressive 3.75L victory at Ripon last week. Claiming jockey negates the majority of a weight rise. Can quickly double up. GISELLES DEFENCE (7) is racing consistently with four placed efforts culminating in a narrow nose success at Epsom Downs nine days ago. Dangerous. NARMAR (5) was a good 0.5L winner of a Ffos Las handicap before a 0.5L third at Windsor last time. Might bounce back. ASTEVERDI (4) placed third making seasonal reappearance at Ayr. Will be thereabouts.

Recent form sound. Last start favourite; won by a nose at Epsom Downs July 17 over 2020m defeating Zarakerjack with 64kg at $2.30. The race before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 8 at Newbury on July 10 over 2000m, 3.5 len behind Dayzee carrying 62.5kg at $5.50. Will be in this for a long way.

Returns from a 39-day let-up. Last start second last of 12 at Stratford-On-Avon on June 17 over 3270m, 63 len behind Al Mootamarid with 68.5kg at $15. The start before that ran on from midfield and won by 0.8 len at Windsor May 12 over 2000m defeating Sir Edward Lear carrying 58kg at $8.50. Good enough to take this out.
