Jim Crowley Chester blog: ‘He’s not the easiest horse to win with’

Coral presents its latest exclusive Jim Crowley Chester blog, with our Coral ambassador sharing his thoughts on his rides today.

I won this race 12 months ago on Revich, who loves it around this course. He is now back down to his last winning mark at Ayr, and I expect he will run a big race.

His draw in stall seven is just about ok in this 12-runner field. He has to bounce back from his two starts so far this season, but the handicapper has given him a chance now.

Revich odds: 8/1

I don’t know too much about this horse. He is by Muhaarar, whose horses always seem to stay. His sole success on turf came at this course in a handicap contest. He has been given a nice draw in stall five and I think he could outrun his odds.

Dream Harder odds: 5/1

He ran a great race at Sandown last time out in the Gordon Richards Stakes, finishing third behind two good horses. The track and trip will play to his strengths here.

You have to respect Passenger and Royal Rhyme in what is a good race. He is not the easiest horse to win with, but if he is to win another race, I think it could be this.

Israr odds: 13/8
