Andrew’s Chester Cup runner by runner betting guide
The final day of Chester’s Boodles May Festival, and today we have what many consider the race of the festival in the Chester Cup. Last year’s winner, Zoffee, and runner-up, Emiyn, lock horns again, but they will have to match, if not better, last season’s performance to go close this time around.

Chester Cup runner by runner betting guide 18 East India Dock (6) Age: 4 Weight: 8st 8lb Form: 04314- Rating: 89 Jockey: Harry Davies Trainer: James Owen Odds: 4/1 This now high-class juvenile hurdler with two Grade 2 wins and a third-place finish in the Grade 1 Triumph Hurdle sets his sights back on the flat in a race that should be right up his street. When last seen on the flat for James Fanshawe, East India Dock finished fourth in a 0-105 handicap at Doncaster under Ryan Moore. But, before that, he was an easy winner off 83 at Goodwood in September. The step up to over 2m2f is sure to suit him, and given that he has flourished over hurdles, there is every chance he can show that improvement back on the level and make a mark of 89 look lenient with last season’s winning jockey Harry Davies taking the ride. But he will need to buck a growing trend of none of the previous 11 favourites winning the Chester Cup. Star rating: Bet on East India Dock with Betfred 9 Who’s Glen (10) Age: 4 Weight: 8st 12lb Form: 4215-2 Rating: 93 Jockey: Oisin Murphy Trainer: Andrew Balding Odds: 5/1 Since his 13-length demolition job over this course on deep ground, it was clear that the Chester Cup would be Who’s Glen’s main target this season. He had a pipe opener for this at Kempton in March, which should leave him spot-on. The only worry would be the ground conditions. The ground is currently described as good, and this will be the first time that Who’s Glen will encounter ground as fast as this, but being by Gleneagles, he should not have any issues with the quicker surface. Who’s Glen has a massive chance of giving Andrew Balding and Oisin Murphy their second Chester Cup. Star rating: Bet on Who’s Glen with SBK 12 Leinster (5) Age: 4 Weight: 8st 10lb Form: 8/13-1 Rating: 91 Jockey: Ryan Moore Trainer: Joseph O’Brien Odds: 13/2 With just four starts to his name, Leinster falls into the ‘could be anything’ category. He has won two of his four starts, and in the second of those wins on his seasonal return, he took apart a competitive field from the front at the Curragh. The handicapper has had his say by putting him up 8lb, but the end to his improvement is nowhere to be seen just yet. Having been drawn in stall 5, Ryan Moore has the ideal draw to push on for the lead or take a position behind the leaders. Given the room for considerable improvement over this trip, Leinster could be the one to side with. Star rating: Bet on Leinster with talkSPORT BET 14 Caballo De Mar (5) Age: 4 Weight: 8st 7lb Form: 11-111 Rating: 88 Jockey: Callum Shepherd Trainer: George Scott Odds: 9/1 Having closed out last season with back-to-back wins, Caballo De Mar kicked on from where he left off, winning his three starts this season and impressively on his latest start over 2m last week. He gets in here with a mandatory 3lb before his 8lb higher mark kicks in, which leaves him well in. You can’t rule out a horse who is in the form that Caballo De Mar is in, and if this doesn’t come too soon, there is no reason why he can’t take this challenge in his stride. Star rating: Bet on Caballo De Mar with bet365 7 Hot Fuss (3) Age: 4 Weight: 8st 12lb Form: 7233-1 Rating: 93 Jockey: Pierre-Louis Jamin Trainer: Tom Dascombe Odds: 10/1 Hot Fuss is another runner who has been plying his trade over hurdles lately and comes here on the back of a fourth-place finish in the Fred Winter Juvenile Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. Before that, he showed improved form on the flat when he readily took a 0-88 at Southwell. He has been handed a plum draw here, and with him being tactically versatile, he can gain a handy position and attack in the home straight. He’s a big player. Star rating: Bet on Hot Fuss with Paddy Power 3 Divine Comedy (7) Age: 7 Weight: 9st 7lb Form: 580-23 Rating: 101 Jockey: Kaiya Fraser (3) Trainer: Harry Eustace Odds: 12/1 Having run a big race to narrowly miss out on running down Al Qareem on his seasonal return, Divine Comedy was faced with making her own running at Ascot in the Group 3 Sagaro Stakes last week. Those tactics didn’t suit the mare, but she kept going well after being headed outside the 2f pole. We know that she stays further than this, and if this race does not come too soon after her effort at Ascot last week, she will find this set-up much more to her liking. She is a bit high i
