Baraweez comes through to win the Earl Grosvenor Handicap at Chester

Baraweez enjoyed a charmed run down the outside to run out a ready winner of the Crabbie's Earl Grosvenor Handicap at Chester.

Brian Ellison's eight-year-old may have had a plum draw in stall one but came from way off the pace to land the spoils.

Apprentice Phil Dennis chose to bide his time before weaving him through the field early in the straight to challenge in the centre of the course.

Baraweez (7-1) mowed the leaders in the closing stages to score by a length and a quarter from Gossiping, with Above The Rest three-quarters of a length away in third.

Owner Andrew Barnes said: "I was worried when he missed the break. When he got stall one we were overjoyed, but when you miss it you are probably better off being drawn high.

"Thankfully, when he did get out he did his job. Chester has been a lucky place for us and we love coming here.

"Galway will be the plan again, he runs twice there every year. He's won there and been placed a few times but it's so competitive."
