Welcome to MarkYourCard, Thursdays racing comes to us from Chester, Redcar, Southwell and Windsor. Plenty to get into .. so lets have a look.
“Repeat performance”
Looking first at any horses looking to win a race that they also won last year.
1.30 Chester : Roman Dragon
This 7 year old trained by Hugo Palmer once again has Oisin Murphy up top to help him in a race he won last year from a mark of 95. The horse has 39 career runs and 7 wins. All of those wins coming at this track.
Chester record reads : 7 wins from 20 runs.
After wining this race last year the horse went on to run 3 times in class 2 handicaps at Ascot, then turned up back at Chester in August and won a listed race over 6f .. just holding on at the line.
Since then has run down the field a few times at York and Doncaster and was given a freshener at Leicester after being off the track for 7 months.
Back here tomorrow, fresh and fit and ready to roll again from a mark of … 95. Exactly the same as last year.
Early price bettors have taken the value, opened at 15/2 in places and is now as low as 2/1 in places.
