SAFFRON DANDY
3.40 - Wednesday
We start Wednesday at Chester with Saffron Dandy in the Class 2 handicap. She managed to get her head in front in a Class 2 at Lingfield a couple of months back on the all-weather there. But she's come up short in two efforts since. We're hopeful she'll find improvement for the switch to turf, but she hasn't been given the best of draws, which is always a challenge at a track like Chester. She's been doing a lot of the right things at home, though, so we'll hoping with a bit of luck she can run well.
EL NAY
4.10
El Nay is my second of the day in the Maiden Stakes, and he's one we've thought a lot of. He ran really well first time out at Lingfield, and just ran into a really nice horse there and finished second. You could argue he did similar last time out as well. It seems a very competitive novice, and two horses in there already have ratings of 90 or over, so he'll have to run to a high standard if he's to win. But he's another in great form, and from what I've seen of him so far, I'd be confident he'll be competitive here if he stays the trip.

He is a nice two-year-old who I thought a lot of when he ran at Bath. He was a little bit green but ultimately ran well. He has come from that run and sharpened up an awful lot. He shows enough speed and with a nice draw he should be competitive. I am leaning towards him as my best chance of the day because he ran nicely first time and he’s definitely improved.

She has been second four times in competitive handicaps. She has been unlucky on a couple of occasions. I rode her around Wolverhampton which is a sharp enough track which gives me the impression that Chester shouldn’t be an issue. She has a nice draw in three and John Butler’s horses are in good form, so I’d imagine she has a good chance.
