Ger O'Neill has got a good tune out of SAVE THE BEES the last twice including a success over Freight Train who has subsequently franked the form in no uncertain terms this week. A 5lb rise for that latest win looks fair and the course and distance winner is taken to follow up at the main expense of Belle Travers, who trounced her Pontefract field when last seen. The latter is up 7lb for that but is in high form and must go close though the Chester track could not be more different to what she experienced last time in Yorkshire. Eurystheus has been finding winning tough but was only just touched off at York and will be on the premises if repeating that level, whilst the consistent Bakht A Rawan is also of note along with bottomweight The Character.
