No hard luck stories for the other two - Mac Love (15/2) beat the well-touted Stotsfold (6/4f) at Goodwood but 8/13 favourite Cloudy Start was the first beaten at Chester, finishing last of the four runners behind the top weight Djeerr (4/1).GeeDeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834633278297488704noreply@blogger.com
