Assistant trainer Steve Brown says Judicial's fire is still burning as the ten-year-old legend returns to Chester on Sunday in search of a third consecutive Queensferry Stakes victory.

Chester hosts a quality Sunday card on Sky Sports Racing, featuring the Listed Queensferry Stakes.

2.55 Chester - Wings Of War hoping to fly home in feature

This year's Listed Queensferry Stakes (2.55pm) looks a belter, including classy three-year-olds Wings Of War and Ebro River.

Clive Cox's Wings Of War looks likely to start as the favourite after finishing a gallant third in the Group Three Prix de Ris-Orange at Deauville three weeks ago.

Ebro River, seventh in the Chipchase last time, represents the local team of trainer Hugo Palmer and Michael Owen's Manor House Stables.

3.30 Chester - Palmer's Fools Rush In heads open heat

The Kids Pass Handicap (3.30) is an ultra-competitive class three where 14 runners head to post, headed by Palmer's Fools Rush In.

Top apprentice Harry Davies takes a useful 5lb off the top weight, whose prominent racing style suits the tight turns of Chester, having finished a close fourth and fifth at the track already this year.

Harriet Bethell's Yanifer seeks a hat-trick and returns to the same course and distance of his last success.

4.00 Chester - Super Sprint third faces four winners

A cracking renewal of the Boulton Group EBF Conditions Stakes (4.00) features Super Sprint third Rogue Spirit from the Tom Clover yard.

The 91-rated son of Dark Angel sets the standard and could give the Newbury race a boost if taking to Chester.

It will not be a straightforward task, however, as he faces four last-time winners, including Karl Burke's York winner Cold Case.

Rated 87, Priors Dell, from the William Muir and Chris Grassick team, seeks a hat-trick after defying a penalty to win at Newbury earlier this month.
