22nd August 2009 - Race Review

Munsef supplemented his win in a competitive handicap at Ascot last time with this victory in the Listed Chester h'cap Stakes. In fact the form of that Ascot event was replicated at Chester with the first three filling exactly the same order as they did a month previously. However it appears unlikely he'll be able to record a hat-trick as the 7yo son of Zafonic will need to improve to win off what looks likely will be a mark in the low 110s.

Of those in behind probably the eyecatcher was one of the selections, Basaltico. He appeared to be struggling for pace three furlongs from home but kept on finding to stay on into 4th. He looks likely to benefit from a more galloping track and he's more than capable of winning a similar h'cap in 2009. The other selection, course specialist Cheshire Prince, could not get the prominent position he revels in and he didn't appear to stay his first attempt at 14f.
