In the 16.25 at Chester the Tom Dascombe trained Ballista is well drawn in stall 3 and loves nothing more than to dictate the fractions from the front. Masamah is the current favourite for this race & whilst he also likes to front run he's also one who I would suggest underperformed last season & he can be inclined to throw the towel in from halfway.

I think that if Ballista does manage to grab an early lead it could be curtains for Masamah although even if that doesn't happen he could just tow Ballista into the race and allow the Dascombe horse to take things up in the 2nd half of the race. Ballista is returning from a busy winter schedule in Meydan and has had a shorter break than his other rivals making their seasonal re-appearances (including Masamah).

If Ballista hits the front at any point I'd expect his price to shorten up during the race & give us at the very least a trade.

Ballista can be backed now for 2 points at the books (fred, victor, lads). If you want 30% profit then lay off 2.6 points at 6.6, or if you want 50% profit then lay off 3.05 points at 5.7 to give you a 1 point profit in all outcomes.

Best of luck.
