Chester Festival Tips: T&L Leasing Handicap

(4yo+, 1m 2f 75y, Class 3)
Chester - Boodles May Festival
Now here is a tough card to finish the day - so let`s see if we can narrow down the contenders from what is a competitive field.
Emirates Airline can be expected to put in a better showing than when beaten off this mark at the end of last year`s campaign. However, the lack of experience may count against him.
Burano has prevailed against stronger fields but has lacked the kind of consistency that is needed to inspire punters. Recently-arrived stablemate Mustaqqil looks an interesting prospect and has a Kempton win under his belt from his time with John Gosden. He was second last time out and could be worth a small stake at the price on offer.
The Character is a course and distance winner and the conditions will suit him fine. He should be comfortable in this class, has a decent draw and is available at a decent price.
Betting odds and tips
Out of a field of strong contenders, The Character stands out as the best value bet.
Those looking for an outsider, could do worse than consider Mustaqqil.
The Character can be backed at 12/1 with Bet365.
Mustaqqil can be backed Each-Way at 20/1 with Bet365.
