Chester Race 3 - Danny And Harriett Birthday Bash Hcp (Gbbplus Race)
MORBEH (8) represents notable connections. Arrives in strong form with a close second in a lower class 2000m handicap at Goodwood preceding a 1.25L success tackling 2300m at Windsor. Leading player. SILVER STATE (2) completed a 1600m handicap double during April with victories at Bath and Doncaster. Recorded a strong 1.75L second in the 2000m Lester Piggott Handicap at Epsom on Saturday. Main danger attempting this easier grade. HOME HERO (9) is progressive producing a 4L third among this company over course and distance two weeks ago. Ticks plenty of boxes. VALPOVO (1) won an 1800m maiden in France last year and looks interesting making stable debut. Worth a market check.
