'Steve and Julie have done a great job' - speedy Look Out Louis just holds on
Judicial has given Julie Camacho and Steve Brown plenty of good days at Chester and the trainers may just have found a successor in the speedy Look Out Louis.
The husband-and-wife team have won the last two runnings of the Listed Queensferry Stakes here with their "life-changing" ten-year-old stable star, who is four from five overall at Chester.
'Life-changing' Judicial shows plenty of dash for repeat Listed success
Look Out Louis, an all–the-way winner here last summer, showed plenty of pace once again as he made it two from three on this track in the £41,000 5f handicap, hitting the front over a furlong out and holding Count D'Orsay off by a game head despite unsuitably slow ground.
"Luckily the line came in time as in the last 50 yards I was completely dead on my legs," said jockey Jason Hart. "I was all out. Luckily he had a long neck! The ground felt a bit deadish and this horse is better on proper concrete ground.
"Steve and Julie have done a great job, they have him really fresh and it seems to work with him. They get good consistency, which you don't get with sprinters all the time.
"It was disappointing when he went up a pound for finishing second last time but the handicapper's never usually wrong, is he?"
Fellow husband-and-wife team, Daniel and Claire Kubler, were also on the mark when Outgate won the 7f handicap for three-year-olds to provide Ryan Moore with the first leg of his second Chester treble in as many days – this time at combined odds of 25-1.
Royal aim for Dilemma
Democracy Dilemma earned a crack at the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot after blitzing his rivals in the 5f maiden.
Trainer David Evans fitted a visor on the son of Cotai Glory following placed finishes on his first two starts and it had the desired effect.
"I've always liked him but I thought he was saving a bit for himself as he's a little bit coltish and the visor helped him," said Evans.
"He showed a good turn of foot there and I reckon he'll go to Royal Ascot over the five furlongs after that. There might be something before Ascot but we'll probably have a day out there."
The perfect match
Silvestre de Sousa gave the exuberant Pride Of America a bold ride from the front to take the 1m2½f handicap by five and a half lengths.
"He and Silvestre are a match made in heaven because he loves to bowl along," trainer Amy Murphy said of the winner.
She has had the five-year-old since December and said: "He's a lovely horse, I'm very lucky to have been sent him. We've brought him back slowly and now he's repaying the owners' patience. As a young horse he was a 90-plus horse and he's firmly on his way back to that, it's exciting."
