Chester Day Three

Shocking day yesterday with just one winner and that was odds-on! It aint over till it's over as they say and I am looking to nick a couple of quid today.
The first looks highly competitive and is probably best left alone, the 4.05 looks like a race best watched with the notebook close to hand and the last is one of those races that will give you sleepless nights with ten in with a chance of winning.
The second race is a tricky heat but I like the look of the Barry Hills trained Maqaraat. The form of the colts reappearance is strong with the winner and third having already won since and he should improve for the run.
In the 2.55 we have Aidan O'Brien's former champion two-year-old and Derby favourite St Nicholas Abbey. The colt was very disappointing on his return to action at the Curragh but it must be significant that connections are persevering with the son of Montjeu and if recapturing his old form he would win this hard held.
The 3.30 is a nice little sprint and I will be putting a couple of bob on Ahtoug. I would expect to see Frankie have the Godolphin colt toward the pointed end from the start and to take advantage of the fact that he is nicely weighted here, due to go up 3lb next time out.
Fahey and Hanagan are absolutely flying again at the moment and they have a nice one in the 4.40. Sioux Rising is on a losing run but has been running with some credit, is drawn  nicely, will like the going and is due to rise 6lb in the weights next time. I am expecting a big run.
Be lucky
