Jason Heavey’s televised recommendations on Day 1 of Chester’s May assembly
The Daily Star’s Chief Tipster Jason Heavey reckons John and Thady Gosden can pick up the big two prizes in front of the ITV4 cameras at Chester on Wednesday
I’M THE ONE (2.35, trb) should be the one to favour in the Weatherbys Cheshire Oaks on the opening day of Chester’s ITV4-televised May meeting on Wednesday.
The John and Thady Gosden-trained daughter of Sea The Stars faces an intriguing clash with Amelia Earhart.
With a rating of 99, Aidan O’Brien’s Amelia Earhart sets a decent standard but her trainer recently branded the Camelot filly “a bit strange and a bit quirky” and that theory is backed up by the fact she is fitted with blinkers and a hood for the first time.
In contrast, I’m The One looks an uncomplicated sort and made an explosive winning debut at Newbury three weeks ago, winning by six lengths,
And that suggests she can add her name to the roll call of winners for this event which also includes none other than the Gosdens’ previous superstar mare Enable nine years ago.
And the Gosdens can again get the better of Ballydoyle again with WATER TO WINE (3.05) in the day’s richest race, the Boodles Chester Vase.
The son of Kingman really impressed when making a winning start at Newbury 18 days ago, easily quickening clear of his rivals, and is taken to see off the challenge of likely favourite Benvenuto Cellini.
The American Holidays Handicap looks a good opportunity for RUBY’S ANGEL (3.40).
Trained just down the road by the in-form Hugo Palmer, this filly caught the eye last summer when winning a 19-runner six-furlong nursery at York.
She was faced with a different scenario upped to seven furlongs when last of four at the all-weather at Kempton next time, but back over six furlongs and after eight months off and with a plum draw in stall 1, she can bounce back to form.
WAIT GEORDIE (1.30) can give Palmer another winner in the opener, the CAA Stellar Lily Agnes EBF Conditions Stakes, based on the form shown when making a winning start to his career in a 5f Bath novice over Easter.
And SUPIDO (2.05) is fancied to show off the talents of Billy Loughnane in the Join Ladbrokes Bet 5 Get 30 Earl Grosvenor Handicap.
