Chester Race 4

British Stallions Stud Ebf Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)

Stake: $80,442

LION OF ALBA (4) ran fifth last start at Goodwood over 1400m beaten 4.5L. Rates the one to beat. LAAZM (1) won by 0.5L in latest at this track. Popular on that occasion and likely to be prominent. Cannot be ruled out. NO DIRECTION (5) placed at Haydock Park when debuting and is one for the minors bringing the benefit of race experience. AMIRLAN (2) secured a placing on most recent appearance running third at Doncaster. Fitter second up and holds each way chances.

Having third race start. When well in the market at debut, 4th in a small field at Newmarket (July) on June 26 over 1200m, 10 len behind Beckford's Folly with 60.5kg at $3.80.

Was well-supported at debut, 3rd of 8 at Haydock Park on August 10 over 1200m, 2 len behind Hardy's Hero with 60.5kg at $3.30. Rates highly and can break through.

Was at very long odds at debut, ran last of 7 at Haydock Park on August 8 over 1400m, 30 len behind Shayem carrying 58.5kg at $81. Has the coveted inside gate but still prepared to risk.
