Chepstow Race 3 - Bill Lewtons 80Th Birthday Novice Stakes (GBB/GBBPlus Race)
ALFARAZ (4) resumed six weeks ago tackling 2000m at Newbury running 1.3L sixth after being in contention on the bend. Ideally positioned and sure to take beating. ECHO OF STARS (6) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was prominent beaten 3.5L fourth trying 2000m at Newbury. Warrants thought as could prove tough to beat. EL NAY (7) managed to finish 2L second last time attempting 2100m at Chester. Has the class to find winning ways and is worth giving close consideration. KINETIC IMPACT (8) is a three-year-old colt on debut from the stable of C Hills. By Zelzal from Kitkitty. Watch the market closely.

Second run back. Comes off a 42-day let-up. First-up after seven months 6th of 10 at Newbury on April 17 over 2000m, 1.3 len behind Maltese Cross carrying 59kg at $5.50.

Second run back. First-up after eight months 4th of 11 at Newbury on May 15 over 2000m, 3.5 len behind Heyzoom with 60.5kg at $3.80. Previously second-up ran on from midfield; 2nd of 7 at Newmarket (Rowley) on October 4 over 1600m, 1.0 len behind Lyneham with 60.5kg at $4. Fitter for that run and expected to be in the finish this time.

Three-year-old colt (Zelzal - Kitkitty) making his debut. Must be kept safe.
