Chester races tips, racecard, declarations and preview for the racing live on ITV
It's a competitive day of racing at Chester this Saturday and we've got everything you need whether you're on the Roodee or on your sofa
A belter of a Listed contest and a competitive Class 2 handicap are the headline acts at Chester on Saturday.
There are some top class supporting races too - we've been studying the form in great depth and have previewed each race on the card below.
Race 1 - 2.05 Foxy Bingo Fur-Ever Friends Handicap
He'll probably be quite a big price but the one to appeal most is ARCANADA for trainer Tom Dascombe.
The hardy front-runner has form figures of 181 on the Roodee and clearly excels around the tight bends. He's not been in fantastic form so far this season but has dropped down to a very decent mark. Hayley Turner takes the ride and if gets a lead he will be tough to pass.
Oh This Is Us also has form at the track and can go well off top weight, while Rousayan has a big run in him.
Verdict: 1. Arcanada 2. Oh This Is Us 3. Rousayan

Race 2 - 2.40 MBNA/British Stallion Studs EBF Novice Stakes
Probably the weakest race on the card can go the way of DROGON.
The two-year-old sets a good form standard on his maiden win two starts ago and understandably found the pace too hot at Royal Ascot. Back in calmer waters here, he'll be tough to beat.
Mordred has shown some decent placed form for Richard Hannon and can fill runner-up spot, with newcomer Navigate By Stars likely to be good enough for third.
Verdict: 1. Drogon 2. Mordred 3. Navigate By Stars
Race 3 - 3.15 Foxy Bingo Fast And Fabulous Chester Stakes
The feature race of the day can go the way of HERE AND NOW.
He put up a mightily impressive performance at York last time out in a very competitive handicap and on that evidence is the one to beat. He takes on some exposed performers and provided he handles the track he should win.
Duretto loves Chester and can go well, while Dance The Dream gets weight and could be dangerous.
Verdict: 1. Here And Now 2. Duretto 3. Dance The Dream
Race 4 - 3.50 Foxy Bingo Fur Her Eyes Only/EBF Fillies' Conditions Stakes
LIGHT MY FIRE has looked strong in both her starts to date and can make it three out of three here.
She has been far too good for her rivals at Wolverhampton and Ripon and should be able to win again.
K Club has some good form and is likely to progress again. Chapelli can fill out the places despite giving weight away.
Verdict: 1. Here And Now 2. Duretto 3. Dance The Dream
Race 5 - 4.25 Ideal Recruit Handicap
GROWL has been knocking on the door in all the top sprint handicaps this term and can finally get his head in front here.
This is a weaker race than he's used to and although he's been given top weight, is probably capable of defying it.
Dark Shot could well be perked up by first-time cheekpieces and is due a big run, while Powerallied can go very well at a track he excels on.
Verdict: 1. Growl 2. Dark Shot 3. Powerallied
NOT ARTH BAD Arthur Kitt aiming to maintain unbeaten record in Solario Stakes
Race 6 - 5.00 Foxy Bingo One-To-Go Handicap
The penultimate race on the card can go the way of GABRIAL THE DEVIL.
He was very impressive for the grade at Hamilton last time out and will likely to be tough to beat at a track he has won at in the past.
Little Boy Blue is going from strength to strength and can fill out the places, while Harrogate is consistent and is bound to be bang there at the finish.
Verdict: 1. Gabrial The Devil 2. Little Boy Blue 3. Harrogate
Race 7 - 5.35 Horseradish Handicap
The staying handicap to close the card can go the way of DOMINATING.
Mark Johnston's contender has dropped 6lb below his last winning mark and will prove tough to beat if the first-time blinkers have the desired effect.
In a weak race, Angel Gabrial can reward a string of placed efforts and finish second, while Master Archer has a chance off top weight.
Verdict: 1. Gabrial The Devil 2. Little Boy Blue 3. Harrogate
