Red Mirage Returns to Chester

Red Mirage is set to make his return to Chester Racecourse on Friday afternoon, lining up in the opening race on the card- the same amateur contest in which he ran a creditable third last year.

He’ll be aiming to go two places better this time and build momentum after a stop-start early season caused by the record-breaking lack of rain. Although the wide draw presents a tough challenge around Chester’s tight, turning Roodee, Red Mirage’s proven course ability will be an advantage on such a specialist’s track.

We will be hoping the rain keeps falling, too, as any softening of the ground would be a real boost to his chances. Good luck to his owners.
