There has been a certain keenness among bookmakers to take on Aidan O Brien s runners at Chester this week and the latest example is Armory, who was initially chalked up only second best by virtually every layer but should surely be the clear favourite here on all known form.
You wouldn t have to look too hard to find examples of O Brien-trained Group 1 performers who are undercooked for their returns as it happens regularly enough, but if this race was a handicap Armory would have to give 6lb to favourite Sangarius and upwards of 11lb to the other three.
