Racing Post verdict
Third-partyKeldeo is our selection for this Chester Class 5 sprint over five furlongs, holding a narrow lead at the top of a competitive field of eleven on a rating of 78. J Street is the closest of the dangers just two pounds back, with Over Spiced and Maharajas Express also capable of running into the frame from the chasing pack. The whole field is tightly bunched behind the front two, which tempers confidence in this one somewhat. On balance Keldeo edges the calculations and remains the selection.
