Day 3 of Chester's May meeting takes centre stage and here are the thoughts of our Long Shot tipster on the big race, the Chester Cup
Chester
J: Rowan Scott
T: K A Ryan
Forza Orta did well last season and proved his stamina for distances such as today when winning a competitive handicap at York over 2m last August. He would have probably needed his seasonal reappearance run at Thirsk last month where he finished 7th of 14 over a 1m4f distance. Given a really good draw today in stall 3, Forza Orta might be able to get to the front early and set his own fractions, tactics that can often pay dividends at this track. Today's Jockey Rowan Scott clearly gets on well with Kevin Ryan's inmate and has won on him twice. Forza Orta rates a 3 star each way Pick.
