Kirby charge can be the star of the Roodee at a tasty price

Stargazer
Chester Cup
1pt win at 14-1You're usually in the lap of the draw gods when taking an ante-post punt on the 188bet Chester Cup, with the inside proving a huge advantage, but there is one runner who stands out as potentially a cut above his opponents at this stage.

Trainer Philip Kirby is enjoying a good start to the season and he recruited a very smart staying prospect from Sir Michael Stoute this year in Stargazer, who is a best-priced 14-1 for Roodee glory.

This well-bred son of Canford Cliffs impressed when winning a competitive handicap at Sandown two years ago but ran on only two more occasions for Stoute.
