2024 Stand Cup Stakes Betting Odds at Chester racecourse

Saturday, 14 September 2024

There could be as many as fifteen runners lining up in the Stand Cup Stakes at Chester, with Ambiente Friendly a talented three-year-old who could run well for James Fanshawe. He goes up against a number of other strong runners, with La Yakel having been successful last time out and there could be more to come from this five-year-old.

Aimeric has failed to record a win in his past four outings, although the Karl Burke-trained runner has been knocking on the door and the same can be said of stablemate Al Qareem. There have been two runner-up performances in the past three outings, with Ziggy having solid credentials and Harry Eustace will have high hopes for this runner.

The Virgin Bet Stand Cup Stakes takes place on 14 September, with up to fifteen runners competing over one mile, four and a half furlongs at Chester Racecourse. Ambiente Friendly has been in the winners’ enclosure this season and the three-year-old could go off as favourite, with James Fanshawe training a horse that has plenty of ability.

The latest effort was a slightly disappointing tenth in the Juddmonte International Stakes, with this coming after a solid effort at the Curragh where the 6/4 chance finished third in the Irish Derby. This came after finishing second in the Epsom Derby, with a previous success being recorded in the Derby Trial at Lingfield.

La Yakel was successful on his latest outing, with William Haggas saddling a runner who was able to score as a five-year-old when winning a race at Hamilton. It was a two and a half length success over one mile and four furlongs on heavy ground, with Aimeric having also run impressively this term and has to be one for the shortlist.

Al Qareem has the opportunity to win his first race of the season after six efforts coming close this term, with Karl Burke seeing his horse finish second at Newbury when running home behind Al Aasy in the Geoffrey Freer Stakes. There was previously a fifth-placed finish out of six horses in the Goodwood Cup Stakes.
