Cup king Koukash clicks again

Charismatic owner Dr Marwan Koukash states every year that the StanJames.com Chester Cup is his ‘Derby’ and he knew from some way out he would be adding to his collection as Suegioo swooped late to deny Angel Gabrial on the Roodee.

Koukash struck 12 months ago with the Richard Fahey-trained Address Unknown and the same combination looked like teaming up again as Angel Gabrial made a startling move from last to first under Jamie Spencer and kicked clear in the straight.

However, Ryan Moore had just been waiting for a gap on Marco Botti’s Suegioo and he quickened as if he would go away to win in style.
