Chester Race 7 - General Elliot Croft Hcp (Gbbplus Race)
FOLK PAGEANT (9) rates on top after a narrow win at Newmarket over 2011m, leading throughout and scoring by 0.1L. MAYAADA (7) is the main danger, coming off a Salisbury 1994m win by 1.25L after a strong 2nd at Epsom over 1712m. GATEHOUSE (3) appeals next with two wins earlier this season, including Southwell 1621m, and can rebound from a small-field 4th at Newmarket. TIMBER TWELVE (2) is also in the mix, a dual mile winner before a forgiven 4th at Epsom over 1712m.
