Today’s free horse racing tips: Chester, Newton Abbot, Kelso, Fontwell and Southwell – Steve Mullen’s betting preview for Wednesday, May 8

CHESTER 1.50

SHOW ME SHOW ME can defy stall eight and follow up his blistering win in the Brocklesby Stakes at Doncaster on debut.

He was fit there but came away from his rivals and the form of the contest is working out well, as usual.

A low draw is usually a major asset here though which is a plus for Great Dame who was a good winner at Ripon last time and comes from stall three. She showed lots of pace and there should be plenty more to come.

Frankie Dettori rides Album from stall two and he showed positive signs when second at Bath last time out.

2.25

SECRET THOUGHTS ran well in the Leopardstown 1,000 Guineas Trial last time over 7f but should be much happier over this longer trip. There should be a lot more to come and Aidan O’Brien has a strong record in this race.

Fanny Logan comes from stall one and improve for stepping up to 1m2f when winning at Wetherby last time out.

There should be a lot more to come, as there should from Mehdaayih who cruised to victory at Chelmsford last timeout.

3.00

LEODIS DREAM is progressing fast and dug deep to win a hot handicap at Sandown last time out. He’s gone up a fair 4lb for that and won at Catterick last year so this turning track should be right up his street.

Top Breeze has the plum draw in stall one and got the job done well when winning at Newmarket last time out. He quickened well there over 6f but showed early pace and could prove hard to peg back if coming out sharply.

Angel Alexander put in three promising efforts last season and has the ideal draw for this comeback.

3.35

NORWAY has already held his own in Group 1 company when beaten four lengths at St Cloud in October. He steps up from 1m2f here and that should bring further improvement. He is trading at around 20-1 for the Derby and this will tell us plenty about his chances there.

Technician has a big reputation and was unlucky when second in the Sandown Classic trial last time out. He was blocked at a crucial phase there and looks open to plenty of improvement.

Sir Dragonet is bred to be top-class and is a strong second string for Aidan O’Brien.

4.05

SNEAKY PEEK created a really good impression when finishing second on debut at Newbury last month. She improved as the race went on there and is open to lots of improvement.

Mons Star was pretty green on his debut at Newmarket last time. The penny dropped for him in the final furlong and he picked up well. It would be no shock to see him improve enough to go very close.

Future Investment was an unfancied 40-1 shot when third on his debut at Windsor latest and can take a step forward.

4.35

CHAPELLI has been running well without getting her just desserts including when beaten on the nod in a Chelmsford Listed race last time out. She likes this trip and Franny Norton is the top man around this track. She has a good draw which can’t hurt either.

Pass The Gin has a bit to do from stall nine but was beaten just a neck at Sandown last time when coming from a long way back. She may have to try those tactics again here.

Cosmic Law is dropping in class and has the ideal stall one berth. This trip suits well.

5.05

QUEEN’S SARGENT was coming with a wet sail at Doncaster last time only to be blocked off at a crucial stage. He sees out this 7f distance well and has a good draw here, although he needs to be up with the pace.

Gin In The Inn didn’t have the best of the draw at Ripon last time and has been much luckier today. He has been going well over 6f and would have a chance if seeing out this extra furlong.

Elerfaan went close at Wolverhampton last time when not getting the clearest run. There is more to come at this early stage of his career.
