Day 3 of Chester's May meeting takes centre stage and here are the thoughts of our Racing Factors tipster.
Chester

T: J & T Gosden
Israr has the highest official rating of all the runners in the field and he can get back into the winners enclosure today. Israr had a good season in pattern class last year and was sent to the Middle East for a couple of runs over the winter. On his return to action in the UK he looked like going very close to winning at Sandown before maybe a little bit of fitness gave way and he finished 3rd of 7 beaten only 1 length. With that run under his belt and a slight step up in distance he looks set to run a big race today. Israr rated a 4 star win Pick.
