ARCADIAN SUNRISE is the value call to land another big pot in the Chester Cup (3.15) on the Roodee on Friday.
John Queally’s eight-year-old is a smart performer under both codes, as he proved when following a victory over hurdles at the Galway Festival with a success at York’s Ebor Fixture last summer.
Jamie Spencer’s mount still has the scope for further progress on his seventh outing on the level, and this extended two and a quarter miles looks ideal.
After a second in the Group 3 Feilden Stakes at Newmarket last month MEGALLAN can go one better as he lowers his sights for the Listed Huxley Stakes (2.40).
Also dropping in grade is FLAMING RIB, who is expected to make the most of a return to sprinting for the Boodles Secret Garden Conditions Stakes (3.45) after failing to get home in the Group 3 Greenham Stakes over seven furlongs on his latest start.
Jim Crowley has prospects of an ITV 4 double aboard BOARDMAN in the Earl Grosvenor Handicap (1.30) and Lincoln disappointment MUJTABA in the Deepbridge Handicap (2.05).
At Market Rasen, BROKEN QUEST looks ripe for a hat-trick in the Unibet Horserace Betting Operator Of The Year Handicap Chase (1.50).
