3rd December

300 Sandown-If Un De Sceaux turns up and produces its best then it will make them all go but on ground quicker than ideal and turning up after a long absence(Fell the last 2 seasons FTO),I think we can take it on.
Sire De Grugy has a fine record at this track(4w-2p-7r) and has actually won this race twice in the last 3 years.The quick return to the track is also a plus(14 days or less 6 wins out of 6)
Gods Own has chances but the trainer has just a 5% strike rate here but Ar Mad could be a danger as it was progressing well before an injury stopped its progress last season.
Back Sire De Grugy 12pts at 4.5 at Hills-2nd(-12pts)Looked to have it as it hit the front at the last but just got nutted near the line.

215 Chepstow-Zanstra produced a fine performance last time out,on just its second start over fences.
It stands out on my figures and with possible further improvement to come plus the services of Paddy Brennan for the first time(25% strike rate for the yard) then I would have it around the 7/4 mark.
Tornado in Milan has been a model of consistency but this ground is fast enough for it and its never been at its best around here.
My ratings suggest its got 9Ibs to find with the selection.
Atirelarigo is difficult to assess but has to be rated a danger given the connections while Allow Dallow has chances on my figures but is normally one to take on.
Back Zanstra 12pts at 4.0 at various bookies-Fell(-12pts)Well backed but came down when in contention at the 2nd last.(DT-24pts)
