ABSURDE (3.05 Chester, nap)
He enjoyed this track when easily winning a Listed race over a similar trip last year. He won over hurdles 18 days ago so is fit and this decent ground suits. He was less than two lengths away in the Melbourne Cup so has class.
WAY OF STARS (4.45 Chester, nb)
He was an excellent third on comeback at Southwell last time despite being blocked in his run a couple of times. He improved for the step up to this distance and looks better than this level.

JER BATT (1.30 Chester, treble)
He looks solid despite his stall-nine draw. He doesn't like to lead and was a cracking third in the Scottish Sprint Cup on comeback. He likes this trip and, granted a little luck, can score at a track where he's gone well before.

Horse racing tips: ‘He's rising the ranks and has a top jockey booked' – Templegate's NAP a supreme stayer at York
TEMPLEGATE takes on Saturday's racing confident of slamming in some winners and building the bank for Royal Ascot. Back a horse by clicking their odds below. ALSAKIB (3.00 York, nap) He rose through the staying ranks last season and put in his best effort at this track. He ran well on his comeback in the Yorkshire Cup last month and can improve from there. HOLD A DREAM (2.40 Sandown, nb) He'll enjoy dropping to five furlongs after showing lots of pace at Newbury last time but just failing to get home. That was his turf comeback and there's more to come. HEATHEN (2.25 York, treble) He runs off a much lower mark on turf compared to the all-weather and can make the most of it under experienced pilot Serena Brotherton.

Evan Ferguson given reality check after Newcastle and Everton transfer links
Evan Ferguson has been told he doesn't need to leave the Premier League to get his career back on track. The former Bohemians forward burst onto the scene at Brighton in 2022, attracting interest from European heavyweights and even being valued at £100million. However, Ferguson's career has stalled over the last couple of years. He endured a barren 33-game streak without a goal at Brighton, which he only snapped last October. Then, after struggling for game time with the Seagulls, he had a fruitless loan spell at West Ham, which yielded no goals in eight appearances. With Brighton willing to cash in on the Ireland international, Newcastle, Everton and Bournemouth have been credited with an interest, while Celtic have also been mentioned as a potential destination. Ex-Ireland defender Richard Dunne, who began his career in English football at Everton, has faith that Ferguson can get his career back on track. Asked if the youngster should consider leaving the Premier League, Dunne, 45, told William Hill: 'Sometimes in football, you just have moves that don't work out or moments that don't work out. 'I remember when I started off at Everton, I played 10 or 11 games, thought I had done really well, came back the next season and never played a game. 'You have ups and downs throughout your career and it's just about how you react. I'm sure Evan will be desperate to get playing next year and if that means moving up the Premier League or down the Premier League, whatever it may be, I'm sure he'll do it.' Dunne believes Ferguson may just need one pre-season to discover the form that made him such a hot property. The former Manchester City and Aston Villa centre-back added: 'He's also a player who can turn back up in pre-season. 'He can score 10 goals in pre-season and become a number nine because he's a very, very good footballer. He just needs a run of games, a bit of confidence and a couple of goals. 'There'll be a hundred options for Evan in the summer and it's just sort of making sure he gets the one which is focused on him playing week in, week out.' Meanwhile, former Ireland and Newcastle goalkeeper Shay Given believes Ferguson needs to move on for the good of both his club and international career. Per the Daily Record, Given said: 'Maybe because he burst onto the scene that everyone's been expecting so much so soon. But again, with young players, you need to have a bit of time. 'I just feel he's ready now to burst onto the scene for a full season with somebody. For us, with Ireland, it would be great too. "I don't know if the finances would be to buy him, but if you said for a loan for the season, it would be perfect. But I'm not the financial power at Celtic or Newcastle, so I don't know.'

Horse racing tips: ‘He's bigger, stronger and better than ever' – Templegate's 5-2 NAP for the Gosdens
TEMPLEGATE tackles Friday's racing confident of building the bank for Royal Ascot. Back a horse by clicking their odds below. BURRITO (4.10 York, nap) Having missed his two-year-old season, this Gosden-trained son of Lope De Vega showed bundles of promise when winning on debut at Newmarket this time last year. He then went close at Chester in September before being gelded over the winter. He looked a bigger and stronger prospect when returning at Newbury 28 days ago. The four-year-old absolutely tanked along and was value for a fair bit more than the official margin of half a length. Unfortunately the handicapper was paying attention but a 10lb rise in the weights is fair enough. MISS JUSTICE (3.15 Sandown, nb) Will relish this longer trip under William Buick after an excellent second at Wolverhampton last time. She makes her handicap debut off the same mark and can give the Gosdens another winner. TOPTEAM (3.25 Chester, treble) Enjoyed himself over this course and distance 13 days ago when scooting in by more than three lengths. This race looks little tougher and he can take another step forward for Andrew Balding.
