God knows what is going to run .
Bravemansgame might be overpriced as I am not certain that he is a has been . Scratch races of more than 3 miles from his form and he is in with a great chance as he looks likely to get his ground . At Haydock he looked unhappy and he doesn't get that trip ; at Wetherby his trajectory was wrong and the Ditcheat runners were all in need of a run . Arguably unlucky in this last year and before that a good second to Fastorslow .
The obvious lay is Il Est Francais . Can you think of a horse that has won after bleeding in 2 of his last 3 outings ? I expect GED could but I can not . Then there is his form which is flaky . Hermes Allen did not have time to advertise the Kauto Star form but looked well held when he had his fatal fall . The third horse at Kempton has done nothing noteworthy since .

I have not looked at today's results but the Mullins horses do not seem to be in the best of form and Spillane's Tower did nothing for the John Durkan form .


Merry Xmas

The default is set at 2 years so take care .

Mr Coffey +3

They might go slow enough for the top chap to get the trip but I am sorely tempted by the big prices on offer about The Goffer . I know he has no trip , I know he is a villain but he does have the form in the book even if it is old form . Also he has a great rider claiming 3 .

The French challenger has no chance on his English form . I read that he won a good race at Compiegne but that track suits dodge pots , They should send Mr Coffey over there .

By my figures Jonbon ran to 7lb below his best . Before the race I had Quilixios +15 and JPRone +18 . With only three involved in the finish one can not be sure but be wary .

Now Where Or When has one bit of form that was very good but surely it was a fluke .

Romantic Warrior is a worthy favourite but , if they all turn up , he is too short at 1/2 .

Gingell is worth his 3 and that puts Sam Brown in the mix . The horse ran a good race on his seasonal debut . It can be argued that he is as good as ever .

I have no figure for the favourite Cervinia . In fact figures for the home runners have been cobbled together from very little evidence but it would be nice to get a grasp of the Japanese group horses .

At Exeter on Sunday watch for any serious money on Bass Rock . Entered at least three times this coming weekend and it looks like he goes to Exeter . My guess is that he could be off .

The result is simple to assess . 2nd , 3rd, 4th and fifth have run to form therefore Spirit Dancer has to be one of the cracks at 10f . I suspect that Lead Artist did not quite get home but the winner was laughing at them all from halfway .
