Surprises at Chester

There was a shock for punters in the Cheshire County Council Foster Care EBF Maiden Stakes, as James Bethell's 25-1 chance Stainley just got the verdict in a tight finish.

Stainley soon took up the running under Willie Supple. After shaking off odds-on shot Broken Spur, he held the fast-finishing Methusaleh by a head. Brave Fight was three-quarters of a length further back in third.
