In depth

Verdict

Aryaamm gets the call here ahead of Thumpers Dream and Macho Dancer. Michael Jarvis has his string in fine fettle and Aryaam has shown enough in two decent maidens to warrant support here. His last effort on the all-weather wasn't too hot, but his debut run behind Sabah at Windsor gives him strong claims here. Thumpers Dream is well in here on official ratings and if you ignore a poor last run he must be rated a big danger. Course and distance form is always important and none more so than here at Chester. Macho Dancer may have disappointed on his last two outings at Wolverhampton and Brighton, but had previously finished a close up third here behind Mabadi. He has a bit to find on official ratings but shouldn't be dismissed lightly. Kalandara is from a top yard and has to be respected but for the winner we return to Aryaamm.
