It's not usual for races at Chester over sprint trips to be decided by the draw and this could be another one and REFLEKTOR must have a fine chance of enhancing his course record. Longroom appeals as one who is likely to run his race and looks a sprinter on the improve with the draw in stall 6 decent enough. Fumbo Jumbo is another who has been consistent of late and she could well use her draw from stall 4 and build on her good recent form and Confessional and Powerallied are two previous C&D winners who run this track well and enter the mix.
