1.30 Chester: Canon’s House
Canon’s House is turned out quickly after a good run at Beverley on Monday, and is drawn well enough in stall five here.
The Michael & David Easterby partnership have decided to apply cheekpieces for the first time, presumably to sharpen up the gelding, and that may well help him hold a prominent position from the stalls.
Canon’s House was most progressive throughout last season when winning four handicaps, including three over the minimum trip.
Joanna Mason was on board for one of those victories, and although this is a step up in grade, I expect a good run.
4.10 Chester: Celeborn
We only saw
Celeborn once last year, but he promised plenty with an impressive win in his first handicap at Epsom’s April meeting.
That race worked out well, and in winning by an easy two lengths, the gelding looked to be a Royal Ascot contender.
He reappears off a 9lb higher mark here, but that wouldn’t have stopped him last time, and he could still be favourably treated.
Trainer of the moment, George Boughey, is happy to run him off top weight, and it will be very interesting to see how he moves in the market for this. He hasn’t done anything wrong so far.
7.20 Redcar: El Matador (nap)
This is quite a good race for the grade, and
El Matador looks a solid choice. He ran really well on his all-weather debut over 7f last time out at Lingfield, but looked as though he would be much better suited by this return to a mile.
He may have disappointed odds-on backers there, but runs off the same mark here, and could be starting 2026 off a reasonable mark.
Ralph Beckett’s gelding definitely should get things run to suit, with a few front runners in this field, and the long
Redcar straight might suit him well. He's the nap of the day on Thursday.
