Chester Festival Tips: Betway EBF Stallions Handicap

March 06, 2016 15:45pm - Chester

(3yo, 5f 16y, Class 2)

Chester - Boodles May Festival

Kachy will start as favourite in this 5f Handicap thanks to his performance over this distance at Goodwood back in July. He also has a class 4 course and distance win to his name and will be starting from a low draw position (3).

Opposition will come from El Astronaute who also has a course and distance win to his name and is now back at a more suitable weight after running off a much higher mark last time out.

Birdcage also looks interesting having finished last season with a win over this distance in Dundalk. A switch of trainer since could prompt further improvement and she has a favourable draw in the stalls.

Betting odds and tips

Kachy and El Astronaute are attracting all the money but Birdcage is the one to watch and offers value.

Birdcage can be backed at 6/1 with Bet365.
