Cue Card rests but Conygree must go up a little I feel. Provisional 177. The reason being that , with luck , he will come on for the run.

A loose end to tie up.
To rate the performance of Fox Norton one has to rely on the unreliable Simply Ned. That could give an impressive 178+ for the Tizzard two miler. Provisional of course but , if correct , he could cattle anything that turns up come March. He certainly looked the part. Young Mulholland did a good job with him!

Menorah +6
Coneygree +11+
Silviniaco Conti +12
Irish Cavalier +13P

A race of ifs and buts.
Cue Card is probably trained with Boxing Day in mind.
Menorah might not have his ground.
Coneygree's fast and low jumping might not be precise enough after an injury and a layoff.
Silviniaco Conti needs to improve the best part of a stone on his last run but could do just that.
Irish Cavalier has youth on his side but the price has no appeal .
Seeyouatmidnight has a lot to do . Good luck Sandy.
The French raider is an unknown quantity as far as I am concerned.
In short , I have not a clue. A race for the layers.

If he runs the top fellow is value at 16/1. Beg To Differ might need the run , Midnight Prayer is fragile and Unioniste does not appear to like the game.
Fourth Act's run behind Antony was fine and the winner was race fit. Stable in fine form and the one to beat.
This might be the last handicap posted on here.

The Tizzards had the well handicapped Fourth Act in here but they rely on Gentleman Jon.
I will watch.

A nightmare since it looks like the winner was the only one to turn up.
Clearly he is better than ever so perch him on a provisional 172.

In the Sodexo the winner goes up two and key from revised figure.
Saphir Du Rheu ran to a decent level. There could just be a decent chase in the horse yet. If I owned him I would have Robbie Dunne on him next time.

CORRECTED : I read a 3 as an 8 . My apologies , a cataract is giving me problems.

The figure for Blaklion is provisional.
Best of luck , I will watch with interest.

If that is Champion Sprint form mine's a bloater! It makes most sense to key from Don't Touch who might have run to his best.

What did he actually do? Found ran below her best , understandably , and the key could well be My Dream Boat.

There must be some value in there somewhere! What about Breton Rock at 66/1 for a little e/w flutter?

The rain could arrive on Friday and that would give Mecca's Angel a great chance here. I see no reason why she would not stay 6f.
Donjuan Triumphant might be the value if he gets a run. If he is an Autumn horse , and they do come along from time to time , he should figure.
Limato is poor value and the books will be out to get him.
Don't Touch should not be dismissed.
Dean's horse will be very popular but there is no value in its present price.The same applies to Shalaa.
