Friday's racing bulletin

The Five Live selection is Diamond Circle in the 2000 at Chester (all times BST).

Racing comes from York, Lingfield, Wolverhampton, Chester and Chepstow.

Batik looks more than capable of carrying on his winning run in the 1505 at York, where the ground is good to soft with some good patches.

Kind, which goes in the feature race at 1540, looks certain to finish in the money, too.

At Lingfield, where racing takes place on the all weather and turf, Chaski in the 1415 has improved on both her starts and should break her maiden tag.

They also race at Wolverhampton, where the going is standard.

The evening racing comes from Chepstow, where the ground is good to firm with good places.

That should be ideal for the fillies running in the feature Group Three event at 2045. Discuss, with Richard Hughes in the saddle, should be in the shake-up.

Best bet of the day comes from Chester, where the ground is good to firm with good places.

Diamond Circle in the 2000 has always promised to be a nice horse fulfilled that promise at Ripon last time. This race should prove a good stepping stone to better things.
