Chepstow Race 3 - Chris Boutcher Memorial Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
Form of a BYZANTIUM (4) debut second at Taunton last season was nothing special. Could have more to offer racing for top connections. Won on the level in France and with trainer Paul Nicholls can make a winning return to action after a wind-operation. WINDSURFER (1) always appeared in command landing a novices hurdle at Uttoxeter last time. Rates an obvious threat despite the penalty. DISKATEK (6) showed enough promise in two hurdle outings last season to suggest he might be competitive in a race of this nature. Interest in the Dan Skelton trained hurdling debutant OUT OUT (8) would be heightened if strong in the betting.

Resuming after a five months break. Finished off last preparation 9 of 10 runners at Worcester 4-5yo HUNT FLAT (C5) June 26 over 3200m, 77 len behind Getaway Vic carrying 67kg at $101. First ever start ran didn't finish the race at Oldtown P2p 4yo P2P MDN February 17 over 4000m. Doubt he will play much of a role.
