Confirmed runners and riders for the Chester Vase and Cheshire Oaks

Arrest and Adelaide River, second and third in last season's Group 1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud, will face each other again in Wednesday's Boodles Chester Vase (3.15).

The pair feature in a final field of five for the key Classic trial on the opening day of Chester's May meeting, alongside Duke Of Oxford, Galactic Jack and Hadrianus.

Arrest, a son of Frankel trained by John and Thady Gosden for Saturday's 2,000 Guineas-winning owners Juddmonte, is a general 20-1 chance in the Betfred Derby betting, with the Aidan O'Brien-trained Adelaide River at 50-1.

The two colts finished behind 2,000 Guineas fifth Dubai Mile on their last starts at Saint-Cloud in October.

Arrest won two of his four starts as a juvenile and only lost out by a head to Dubai Mile in France, with a further six lengths back to Adelaide River. Coral make Arrest a 4-7 shot for the Chester Vase with Adelaide River a 4-1 chance alongside the Charlie Johnston-trained Hadrianus, who was second in Epsom's Blue Riband Trial last month.

The Ballydoyle contender, a son of Derby winner Australia, will bid to provide O'Brien with a record-extending 11th success in the Chester Vase, a race the trainer has won seven times in the last nine runnings.

O'Brien was responsible for the last Chester Vase winner to follow up in the Derby when Ruler Of The World did the double in 2013, while Wings Of Eagles finished second at Chester to stablemate Venice Beach in 2017 before going on to cause a huge 40-1 upset at Epsom.

In the day's other major Classic trial, Betfred Oaks favourite Savethelastdance will test her Epsom credentials for O'Brien in the Weatherbys Digital Solutions Cheshire Oaks (2.40).

Fifth on her debut at Thurles last October, the daughter of Galileo won a Leopardstown maiden last month at 20-1 under Wayne Lordan to earn her place in the Oaks trial.

Ryan Moore, aboard runner-up Boogie Woogie that day, takes over in the saddle as Savethelastdance looks to emulate the mighty Enable, who won the Cheshire Oaks en route to Epsom glory in 2017.

Savethelastdance has been a well-backed 6-1 favourite for the Oaks with Coral, who make her their 5-6 favourite for the Cheshire Oaks.

"Savethelastdance has been a significant ante-post mover for the Oaks in recent weeks, so it's not surprising the Epsom favourite is odds-on to land her Classic trial this week," said firm spokesman David Stevens.

Frankie Dettori will ride Luckin Brew for Ralph Beckett, with the Andrew Balding-trained Sisyphus Strength and Sirona, representing Charlie Johnston, among the other main contenders.

The going at Chester was described as good to soft on Monday afternoon and clerk of the course Andrew Tulloch said: "We've had around 5mm of rain since Sunday evening and may get a bit more but the forecast doesn't look too bad.

"Tuesday is set to be mostly dry with a bit of a breeze, while Wednesday looks more unsettled and we could have some heavy showers. Fewer showers are forecast for Thursday, while we're expecting a more settled forecast on Friday."
