What a great race, good luck everyone. Set to go and they're off and racing.
This is the Toplas Chester Cup. Famous old race with a great heritage, a wonderful
spectacle and slowly away was it's good to laugh the early backmarker and last
year's runner-up the Grand Vizier together with Falcon 8 also slowly away.
Falcon 8 now last actually as the Grand Vizier is the one steering the very
wide course in the early stages and he's moving through the Grand Vizier to lead
passing the judge for the first time. Torchello's with him and then Land of
Winter in third place. Disputing third with him is Coltrane. Coltrane's followed
by Solent Gateway who is really buzzed up. Satellite Solent Gateway not a good
early sign. Radzinski's just ahead of him now on the inside. More speed towards the
outside of Solent Gateway as Ben Curtis does his level best to settle Solent
Gateway in the early stages. Arcadian Sunrise is slightly further behind. Then
solo saxophone who's racing just slightly worse than mid-division.
Haliforn is with him and looking to the ones at the back end of the field.
Cleveland has got three behind him at the moment.
Reshun being one of them. Last year's hero Falcon 8 second last at the moment
and last of all it's good to laugh. They're over on the far side of the
track then for the first time and the clear leader now is Torchello. Torchello's
opened up here to sit three in front from the Grand Vizier in second place and
Coltrane in third. Land of Winter still right there in company with Radzinski as
they come now back towards the stand with still a circuit and a half left to
go. After these Solent Gateway still buried away amongst runners. Racing next
to the Irish train Morph Speed who's up on the outside. Arcadian Sunrise is next.
He's in turn followed by solo saxophone in company with Haliforn. Cleveland is in
no hurry through this first circuit. Still only got three behind him. Last
year's winner Falcon 8 is one of those. It's good to laugh is still towards the
back end of the field as they swing round into the home straight for a
second time and the back marker is now Reshun. They're coming down the straight
once again over a circuit to go in the top plus Chester Cup. Torchello has come
back to the field slightly. The Grand Vizier is in second place with Coltrane
still right there in the third. They're followed by Radzinski and Land of Winter
four and five. Still keen is Solent Gateway. Will he pay for that on this
second serving? They're followed by Arcadian Sunrise and to the outside
Morph Speed. Morph Speed's followed then by Cleveland who seems to be slowly but
surely on the improve. Haliforn is towards his outside as well as they
race on away from the stands for a final time. Falcon 8 still right at the back
end of the field as solo saxophones driven along and they're followed still
by It's Good to Laugh and Reshun the back markers. They're on then the run
towards the six furlong pole in the top plus Chester Cup and it's still Torchello
who leads the way. He's being followed at the moment by Coltrane who's had a
lovely run through. The Grand Vizier is still right there on the outside.
Radzinski's bright orange jacket is right there. Haliforn towards the outside.
Land of Winter is after those. Solent Gateway is on the wide outside in
company with Arcadian Sunrise. Cleveland's going perfectly well with
four furlongs left to go. Behind him is Falcon 8 ridden along on their outside
is Morph Speed and they're followed by It's Good to Laugh and Reshun is still
the back marker. They're heading past the three furlong marker in the Chester Cup.
Torchello bravely tries to see it out in second place. Coltrane has gone like a
dream for him throughout ahead of the Grand Vizier. Then Radzinski. Cleveland
sticking to the inside is next with Arcadian Sunrise and from the back
Falcon 8's got a lot to do but he's staying on now down the wide outside of
the field. Coltrane, Torchello, Radzinski not much room. Cleveland trying to move
into top gear and Arcadian Sunrise as well. Up front Coltrane. Here comes
Cleveland though with a tremendous run on his outside. Chester Cup and he's beaten Coltrane
with Radzinski and Arcadian Sunrise finishing in the money. Last year's
winner Falcon 8 came next. Jamie is just on his hands and knees bowing down to
Ryan Moore's superiority. What a ride Jamie on Cleveland. Honestly never see
anything like that. The drama, the stakes, the race, the competition. It was such an
odd race Chester Cup from start to finish. He's such an odd horse to be
appearing in the Chester Cup and it was almost written in the script given the
week that he and Edna O'Brien have had that he's come through to win and pipped
Coltrane for whom the race went absolutely perfectly and he must be a
right horse. He must be a right horse. He's come from a long way back. In a race
where that was so difficult to do. It was so messy there was so many of these never got
never got on the track. They were wide, they were free, it was messy and he was
down scraping paint the whole way and look I know you're a hostage to fortune
but he had the horse under him to take him into the gaps when he needed them
and when he really needed one Ryan made a decision to come out and there was a
bit of inevitability about it after that but God if you're watching him the whole
way that was a fun race to watch. It was absolutely fabulous.
