Sky Sports Racing cameras head to Chester for a live 1.30pm card. The 2.37 Danny And Harriett Birthday Bash Handicap pits last‑time winners Simon Pierre and Morbeh against a field of nine. Both riders bring recent form, sparking interest among bettors and fans alike.

Pierre followed a late‑run Thirsk novice win, hinting the extra distance will suit him on debut under Jo Mason. Morbeh arrived fresh after scoring at Windsor, though he carries six pounds more. Cieren Fallon replaces Tom Marquand in the plate, adding depth to the start.

At Newton Abbot, the 7.35 St. Austell Brewery Novices' Limited Handicap Chase sees Paul Nicholls‑trained Rickety Bridge chase a hat‑trick. Winning both starts here, he steps up four pounds and could take the run before moving up in Grade. Court In A Storm and Dexperts Opinion also pose threats.

The 3.12 Allington Hughes Law Handicap at Chester features Showcasing Star, who returns from three maiden outings, and Norman Invasion, making his handicap debut for Ed Walker and George Downing. Vidmiyr and Dartrey add weight, while the race promises a tight finish as the favourites battle for position.
