CALL MY BLUFF is fancied to boost an already impressive record on the Roodee with a victory in the tote Chester Cup (3.15) this afternoon.
The Dominic French Davis-trained six-year-old has made three visits to Chester, taking a gold, silver and bronze back to Lambourn.
John Egan’s mount made his return to action with a six-length second to Novel Legend at Newbury last month and, now 2lb higher in the weights, competes from the same mark here.
He evidently hasn’t been an easy horse to get to the track – he’s now five and has raced just eight times – but MUJTABA is capable of serving it up to favourite Point Lonsdale in the Group 2 IRE-Incentive, It Pays To Buy Irish Huxley Stakes (2.40).
With two course-and-distance victories on his CV, BOARDMAN has plenty going for him in the opening CAA Stellar Earl Grosvenor Handicap (1.30), while SAVVY VICTORY rates a worthy favourite for the Precision Facades Handicap (2.50).

The latter’s jockey Ryan Moore has a solid chance of an ITV4 double, completed by BANDERAS in the Boodles Darley Maiden Stakes (3.45).
At Ascot, SCHOLARSHIP looks up to giving his rivals weight and a beating in the Peroni Nastro Azzurro Handicap (1.50).
