Kempton Park Race 3 - Virgin Bet Restricted Novice Stakes (GBB Race)
BALZAC (6) debuted with a highly promising 2.25L third over 1609m at Newmarket in September. Taken to record a first win providing his initial AW and seasonal outing. WINDING STREAM (4) secured an impressive 3.75L victory debuting in a 1422m novice race at Southwell start of October. Expected to play a leading role. MAGIC TRIP (5) followed up a 2.5L success at Bath on debut finishing last of eight attempting the 1500m G3 Premio Gran Criterium at Milan in October. Strong claims dropping markedly in grade. ALEMBIC (8) is expected to take a step forward after managing a 15L seventh trying 1609m at Southwell making his first start.

Second run back. First-up after three months second last of 11 at this track on March 25 over 1600m, 24 len behind Enemy Agent with 63.5kg at $11. Previously second-up 9th of 12 at Aintree on November 8 over 3400m, 30 len behind Merlin Allen carrying 73kg at $3.30. Doesn't make any appeal.

Resuming after a five-and-a-half months break. Not seen since he finished last of 8 at Milan in the G3 October 19 over 1500m, 8 len behind Gaga Mate with 56kg at $9.75. At his first start won by 2.5 len Bath September 13 over 1600m defeating Paroled with 60.5kg at $2.50. Sure to return bigger and better and is among the leading hopes.

Second-up. First start second last of 9 at Salisbury on October 2 over 1400m, 14 len behind Akho Mezzna carrying 60.5kg at $23. Went for a spell before returning second last in a small field at Wolverhampton on February 27 over 1400m, 6 len behind Miss Lady Grace with 56.5kg at $13. Rates highly and expected to do much better with that run under his belt.
