BBOTD - Thursday 8th of May

13.45 Chester: Marcret @ 11/2 Stan James - 3pts win

Marcret seems poised to win a race anytime soon judged on his seasonal reappearance. In a good competitive Handicap at Ripon last month he travelled like a dream, made nice headway showing fine cruising speed from 4f out but and looked poised for a big challenge but didn't get any run whatsoever from 3f out. He tried desperately to get out but got hampered several times. He worked his way out, slowly from 2f out but jockey was work hard enough for it to prevent him from hanging to the right and corrections where needed. It took a while till he found his stride but he picked up eventually and run on to finish 3rd. He can race off the same mark today, which must give him a big chance, also considering that he run big races in better races in the past. He goes extremely well at Chester, won here a Group 3 back in 2012. Only concerns are the draw and the ground. He probably would prefer it a bit softer. But there is plenty of pace on, which should suit him.
