We should always get good to tender floor to start out the two-day December assembly and it’s an honest contest to start out regardless of simply 4 runners within the 2m novices’ hurdle. That’s Good is a properly considered filly for Nicky Henderson and will get a little bit of weight off the others. Hopefully, she’s adequate to get the job finished in opposition to older rivals.
An excellent novices’ chase over 2m regardless of simply 4 runners declared. The expensively purchased Caldwell Potter is tight available in the market however Jango Baie is not any mug. He has schooled very well at dwelling and Nicky Henderson’s novice chasers are working properly. Jingko Blue gained throughout the week at Uttoxeter and this five-year-old might be higher than him. If Jango Baie he jumps properly, receiving 5lbs, he can serve it as much as Caldwell Potter.
I’m hoping it’ll be an excellent day for the Henderson staff and am hoping Willmount is properly handicapped. He’s rated 130 and is healthier than that. The highest-weight Valgrand units the usual and is certain to take them alongside at an excellent tempo and his leaping is electrical.
Kim Bailey’s Chianti Classico can show too good for this subject regardless of shouldering high weight. I’d count on The Latest One to run his standard sport race, however he’s creeping up the handicap and that gained’t make life simple for him, even off his featherweight. King Turgeon was a winner over the Nationwide fences final time after successful at Chepstow on seasonal debut. He’s 15lb increased within the rankings now although. Chianti Classico could have too many weapons for them.
This Veterans Handicap Chase is an attention-grabbing contest and throws up loads of previous favourites who are actually of their twilight years. Eldorado Allen was runner-up behind the re-opposing Torn and Frayed on debut and will have wanted the run. That is his second begin after a wind-op and is price chancing. Seddon might be one for the locations particularly if the cash arrives for him whereas I’d prefer to see Shakem Up’arry run first after working poorly at a gallop morning at Newbury. He’s vulnerable to doing that however I’ll maintain fireplace this time.
The Cross Nation Chase on the Cheltenham Pageant is now a handicap once more after the situations modified within the shake-up, so this might be an informative contest for subsequent March. It’s very aggressive right now although too and Mister Coffey ran very well on the November assembly when ending second to Candy David in the same occasion. This self-discipline may sweeten him up as he appears for his first win in 15 makes an attempt over fences. Ought to undoubtedly hit the locations.
Doyen Quest bought a hefty 10lb hike for his five-length win over Gowel Street final month at this venue however I feel he’ll affirm superiority with that runner. One who might be a hazard is Lucy Wadham’s Zain Nights who’ll admire the drying floor and isn’t badly handicapped. He was third in a Pertemps qualifier right here on the Previous Course in October and may be each-way participant at a value.
