Supakalanistic⁴⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-12| J: T P Queally| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| D

18/1

Fairly useful hurdler who made belated winning Flat debut at Chepstow in October. Better than ever when following up in course handicap hurdle here in November but useful effort needed under penalty.

Form: 1

(3)

Great Esteem⁴⁷¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| BF

4/9

Showed fairly useful form when runner-up in maiden/novice events on AW/turf for Charlie Appleby in 2019. Long absence but joined another good yard and interesting to see how he goes in betting.

Form: 22/

(8)

Juriste⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: S A Gray| T: P A Kirby

300/1

Modest form at best in bumpers and last of 8 on Wolverhampton Flat debut 7 days ago. Surely booked for another struggle.

Form: 8-

(7)

Test Ride¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: D C Costello| T: N P Mulholland

300/1

Poor in bumpers/over hurdles so hardly strikes as one likely to make a significant impact now switching to the Flat.

Form:

Thibault^t²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Rossa Ryan| T: A West

40/1

Better than ever when winning pair of handicap hurdles last month but well-held fifth of 6 on Flat debut prior to that and likely to find a few too strong again.

Form: 5-

(12)

Cooder⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽⁵⁾| T: W J Knight

300/1

Well held in 2 runs over 1m in the autumn and surely more one for handicaps after this.

Form: 90-

(10)

Grandbob¹⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: W J Knight

300/1

200/1, trailed off in AW maiden at Lingfield for Dean Ivory in August. Needs to have been transformed by a change of stable.

Form: 0-

Montaqem¹⁰²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: M J Attwater

80/1

13/2, very green when fifth of 8 in novice at Ripon (12f, soft) on debut in September. Subsequently sold out of Hugo Palmer's yard for only 2,000 gns.

Form: 5-

(9)

Shalott³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: A Kirby| T: G Brown

28/1

Third in a bumper and second in a juvenile hurdle (fair form) in recent months. Flat debut.

Form:

(2)

Diamond Gait^t⁸¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls

15/2

Fairly useful jumper who notched a third win over hurdles in 2m Stratford handicap in October despite a very poor round of jumping. Makes a rather belated Flat debut

Form:

(11)

Countess Reach⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Jason Hart| T: Miss Gay Kelleway

250/1

Well held in bumpers this autumn so likely booked for a struggle now switching to the Flat.

Form:

(5)

Lunar Bounty^h²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Cieren Fallon| T: A King

50/1

Out the back on Flat debut in July and no better than modest form in 2 juvenile hurdles since. Can only be watched again.

Form: 9-

(4)

Tampere^h⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock| OR: 76

10/3

Promising sort who shaped well when narrowly denied on 2m Chelmsford handicap debut 7 weeks ago. Likely she has more to offer and leading claims.

Form: 8/322-

(14)

Tex Australia¹³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 78

20/1

Had some fairly useful form to her name in Germany over the summer. Possible she could have more to offer for new stable and market support would look significant.

Form: 52/465-

Forecasts

Great Esteem (4/9), Tampere (10/3), Diamond Gait (15/2), Supakalanistic (18/1), Tex Australia (20/1), Shalott (28/1), Thibault (40/1), Lunar Bounty (50/1), Montaqem (80/1), Countess Reach (250/1), Juriste (300/1), Test Ride (300/1), Cooder (300/1), Grandbob (300/1)

TAMPERE has progressed with each start and gets the vote with further improvement on the cards. Great Esteem hasn't been seen for 15 months but this dual runner-up would rate a big threat if the market speaks for him on this return for new trainer Archie Watson. Ex-German trained Tex Australia is also of some interest now starting out for Andrew Balding.
