Chester Festival Tips: MBNA Chester Vase (Group 3)

March 05, 2016 15:10pm - Chester

(3yo, 1m 4f 66y, Class 1)

Chester - Boodles May Festival

A fine selection of thoroughbred three-year-old colts will line up in this warm-up race for next month`s Epsom Derby. With racing`s ultimate prize in their sights, a competitive race is always guaranteed, but who will rise to the top of the Derby pecking order?

US Army Ranger won on his debut at The Curragh last month and has already built up a formidable reputation on the circuit. He is likely to start the race as odds-on favourite but will be going up against stable mate Port Douglas, who will be no pushover.

The Irish horse will be carrying an extra 4lb but has already shown glimpses of his potential in his previous outings. With all the money heading towards US Army Ranger, he could be available at a very generous price.

Betting odds and tips

US Army Ranger will be odds-on for the win but Port Douglas offers great value.

He can be backed at a very tempting 7/1 with Bet365.

Remember, Bet365 are offering guaranteed best odds on all Chester races and a 100% deposit bonus up to £200 for new accounts.
