A novices chase the place there’s a pair who characterize a little bit of worth. ES PERFECTO ran on this contest final yr and completed an excellent third to Blow Your Wad then and is barely 3lbs greater within the weights. Alan King’s runner is a course winner who travels nicely in his races, so there are a number of positives. He appears the strong choice to me. Hearth Flyer additionally has his likelihood.
A Grade One Novices Hurdle the place POTTERS CHARM set the usual. A slight concern is the actual fact he drops again to 2m though he did win a 2m bumper at Ffos Las on heavy floor final season by a good margin. He appears sensible and there was lots to love about his latest wins at Cheltenham albeit over 2m 4f and 2m 5f. If you will get over the drop in journey – he’s the one to be on.
THE JUKEBOX MAN jumped very well over 2m 4f final time when successful at Newbury final time however he hung so badly left there {that a} right-handed monitor like Kempton is a priority. The step as much as 3m will swimsuit and whereas he’s the most probably winner, he’s a brief sufficient worth. I gained’t go in opposition to him however I gained’t be shocked if he’s crushed.
The 3m Rowland Meyrick Handicap Chase might see SINE NOMINE get again to her finest after her Foxhunters Chase win at Cheltenham. She unseated on her seasonal run however native coach Fiona Needham could have focused this contest for her. She’s a powerful traveller in her races and stays nicely so can choose them off as we get to the enterprise finish of the competition. She appears an excellent each-way shout in a race the place the possible market chief Cruz Management has a bit to show.
A small however very choose subject for the Christmas Hurdle – if all of them flip up. Burdett Highway and Lump Sum each go ahead so ought to guarantee an honest tempo for CONSTITUTION HILL and Lossiemouth to intention at. The marvel horse Structure Hill appears again to his finest and I watched him education the opposite day and he was sensible. Connections additionally suppose he’s again to his finest. He’s nonetheless solely a seven-year-old and regardless of all of the obstacles he’s needed to overcome since we final noticed him on a racetrack – I believe he’ll win.
The King George VI Chase is the characteristic race of the day and there’s one thing for everybody with English, Irish and French challengers. Envoi Allen may very well be beneath the radar regardless of an excellent win final time at Down Royal and Il Est Francais would have been my fancy however he burst a blood vessel final time when crushed in France. SPILLANE’S TOWER is a worthy market chief and if his coach feels the bottom is gentle sufficient for him to run – he’s the one I’d prefer to be on.
