300 Newbury-Geordie Des Champs makes its handicap debut here and although this is a tough race,it looks to have been given a decent opening mark.
Each rating posted so far has shown an upwards progression and any continuation of that would make it a tough opponent here.
Kings Bandit is another with potential but has failed to get round in 2 of its last 4 starts.
On its best ratings from last year,Lac Fontana would hold chances while Boite is improving but needs to find more progression to trouble the best of these.
Back Geordie Des Champs 12pts at 4.5 at Various bookies-2nd(-12pts)Hammered into 5/4 but once more couldnt get it done.

250 Uttoxeter-Mumgo`s Debut has been pretty consistent since returning after a wind operation but its last 3 ratings have shown some deteoration and it remains to be seen how it copes with the drop back to 2 miles.
Rock On Rocky has only had 3 starts over fences and will like the conditions,its the right price however.
At a price,the one I like is Emperor Commodos,who ran really well on its chasing debut last time,posting a good rating and solid speed figure.
I have got it a much shorter price than what is available and it has to be backed.
Back Emperor Commodos 7pts at 9.0 at Various bookies-UP(-7pts)A poor run to finish the year(DT-19pts)
