Chester

Lifeplan has the highest BHA rating in the field and the unbeaten Gimcrack winner could still develop into a candidate for top sprint honours. However, the York form hasn't worked out and his subsequent absence and the widest stall are reason enough to look elsewhere. Fitzella had an excuse at York last time and she is respected but Jazl and CALICO BLUE, both handicappers on an upward trajectory, may fight this out. Jazl had Calico Blue's measure at Newmarket last month but the selecion is better drawn today and can also call upon a perfect record over C&D.[Paul Smith]
