Chester best bet: Castle In The Sand to land for Oisin Murphy and Andrew Balding

16:10 Chester: ESL Export Maiden Stakes (1 mile 2 1/2 furlongs)

Gallantly is the clear favourite in this one and is coming off the back of a near miss at Leopardstown. 

Aidan O'Brien's three-year-old was second last time out and was resuming after a winter break. 

It will be interesting to see how the colt gets on with a slight step up in trip and if he improves as expected then there's every chance of a trip to the winners enclosure. 

With three places available, there's some good each-way value to be had and Liam Swagger could be one to watch with juicy odds of 12/1. 

The James-Owen-trained colt looked good at Windsor last week when he was second, beaten by just a neck. 

However, the step up in company could prove tricky for him. 

Our selection for this one is Andrew Balding's Castle In The Sand with the ever-dependable Oisin Murphy in the saddle. 

Its been the case of always the bridesmaid, never the bride for Castle In The Sand, with his last four outings seeing the three-year-old finish second. 

He has been stepping up in trip recently and his last outing at Windsor over one mile and two furlongs saw him lose out to hot-favourite Deira Mile. 

The booking of Murphy is an astute one with the jockey having a 22 percent strike rate this year and he won a Gold Cup trial aboard Coltrane last week, so he has landed a big winner already this season. 

At odds of 10/3, Castle In The Sand has the potential to land punters a tidy profit.
