Hans Holbein Puts Us In The Picture
Aidan O’Brien has a 57% strike rate at Chester and has farmed the Chester Vase in recent years.
Aidan O’Brien has won five of the last eight renewals of the Chester Vase (3.10) yet still the bookmakers are allowing his horses to start at odds-against.
Backing Ballydoyle’s finest was a tactic we employed successfully with Orchestra last year and I’m happy to row in again with Hans Holbein.
Any easy winner at Leopardstown last time out, he has all the fancy entries you would expect for a good horse.
In opposition, there isn’t much to get excited about. Only Storm The Stars was a winner last time out but he’s been stuck on a Racing Post Rating of 84 or 85 for his last four starts and might not be improving.
Over the past five seasons, Aidan O’Brien has a 57% strike rate (12-21) at Chester and Hans Holbein at 9/4 (Bet365) looks a cracking price.
