Chester Race 4 - Boodles Chester Vase Stakes (Group 3)

WATER TO WINE (7) made an eye-catching debut at Newbury three weeks ago when travelling strongly and drawing clear inside the final stages of the contest to win by 4.25L. Open to plenty of improvement and hard to fault. DEL MARO (2) brings plenty of experience. Placed in a number of good races as a juvenile. Off the mark three weeks ago and this trip looks perfect. Aidan O'Brien goes in search of another win in this race and saddles two. BENVENUTO CELLINI (1) landed the G2 Champion Juvenile Stakes in the autumn and rates highly. Stablemate PROPOSITION (5) adopts first time cheekpieces and is bred to relish this trip.
