Chester Race 2 - Juddmonte Ebf Restricted Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
LADY BRANKSOME (6) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last run at Ripon. One of the better chances. BELARDO ACE (2) Tidy effort when 2nd last start at Windsor. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Genuine threat. ZAMBEZI SHARK (4) Aclaim 2yo trained by S C Williams having first start. Betting is the best guide. METAMOUSE (8) Came in 4th last run at Chepstow but fitter for debut run. Has minimal work to do from the stall. Good prospect for the exotics at least.

Started $12.00 and ran 7th last start at Windsor but was a debutant last start. Can find a nice position from the draw. Has some claims.

Started at $41.00 and fairly underwhelming when 11th last run at this track. Expected to settle towards the tail. Looking at others.
