Chester Race 3 - Caa Stellar Nursery
CASH COVE (5) used her experience to get off the mark at Doncaster last time out when winning by 0.5L. Now goes into a nursery for the first time and the assessor doesn't look to have been too harsh. Hard to oppose. KING'S PRIZE (2) won nicely on debut before finishing downfield in the G3 Albany Stakes. Up in trip and must be feared. DONEGAL ROSE (6) landed a course maiden here during May. Tackles further for the first time while yard have proven success at this venue. KACH ABOVE (3) was an impressive winner at Leicester and holds more potential now switching into handicaps. Market will be the best guide as to his chances.
