Chester Race 2 - Horseradish Catering & Events Ebf Restricted Novice Stakes (Gbb Race) (Div 1)
Dropping back to 1200m will suit QETAIFAN (4). Only faded late when fifth contesting a fierce Sandown maiden in latest and trainer Andrew Balding maintains a solid strike-rate with his runners at this venue. The Starspangledbanner entry may get off the mark at the third attempt receiving a nice draw in stall four. Windsor winner SANDS OF MARRA (1) rates an obvious danger after showing ambition racing in the G3 Molecomb Stakes at Goodwood during July. MEKHLED (6) might feature if building on his fair fifth-placed finish debuting at Chelmsford (1400m). HERB FENNEL (8) heads the remainder.

Was at long odds at debut, second last in a small field at Ripon on August 17 over 1200m, 7 len behind Soldier's Heart carrying 59kg at $26. One of the contenders.

Lining up for just third start. At big odds at debut, second last of 9 at Thirsk on July 26 over 1400m, 10 len behind Ryka carrying 58kg at $26. Second-up 8th of 11 at Nottingham on August 13 over 1200m, 6 len behind First Instinct carrying 58kg at $151. Doesn't look one of the major players.

Was as a despised roughie at debut, ran last of 11 at Wolverhampton on September 5 over 1200m, 14 len behind Queue Dos carrying 58kg at $51. On the quick back-up but has the job ahead.
