Havent seen this on here:
BALLYBEN
4 ch g Beneficial - I'M Maggy.
Easy 11-length winner of sole bumper start at Haydock November 24 beating Baltimoar 11 lengths.
"Very pleased at Haydock but because he's still quite green he'll have another run in a bumper around Christmas then take it from there. He's schooled plenty."
BESCOT SPRINGS
7 b g Saddler's Hall - Silver Glen.
Staying handicap chaser, has been 130 but off 123 latest start and best for some time when five lengths fourth of 14 to Swing Bill in extended three mile handicap at Cheltenham November 16.
"Really got his jumping together now and he wants extreme distances. If he were to get into the Welsh National it would be suitable because he handles very soft ground."
BLENHEIM BROOK
7 br g Alderbrook - Blenheim Blinder.
Useful hurdler rated 127 but better chaser who had reached 138 in novice season but back to 130 latest start when eight lengths second of seven to Knockara Beau in three mile handicap at Kelso November 10. Now 129.
"His last run at Kelso delighted us and he does like it there but he might go next to Musselburgh on December 10. It's possible he might be better right handed but we're not convinced yet."
BOLD SIR BRIAN
6 b g Brian Boru - Black Queen.
Very smart two and a half mile chaser that has won sole attempts in weak event over nearly three miles. Latest of four wins from seven chase starts came off 145 in two and a half mile event at Carlisle on November 4 beating Rival D'Estruval eight lengths. Now 155.
"Does things very easily and the present plan is to go to Sandown in December for an intermediate chase. It's unlikely he'll go for the King George but I will be looking for something in January."
CLONDAW KNIGHT
4 b g Heron Island - Sarah Supreme.
Point to point winner that started 7/2 for bumper debut at Cheltenham November 18 but finished tailed off ninth of 11 to Anonis.
"Didn't cope with the ground at Cheltenham or the track. He's a lovely horse that works well and he'll have another run in a bumper on better ground."
DEVOTION TO DUTY
6 b g Montjeu - Charmante.
Hurdler from two and a half to three miles, sole success from 16 starts in that sphere came off 114 and rose to 125. Looks a better chaser in two starts, beating Charminster a length and a half at Carlisle in March over two miles and off 129 on reappearance when 15 lengths fourth of five to Kumbeshwar over same trip at Haydock November 23.
"We had a special bit on him last time and I don't think he was happy with it but his jumping was very good so as far as that was concerned it was mission accomplished. The races over two miles just happened to fall right for him and now he'll be stepped back up in trip."
DO IT FOR DALKEY
10 b g Silver Patriarch - Dalkey Sound.
Relatively lightly raced handicap chaser, three from nine and rose from 105 to 123 after landing a double in late 2011. Struggled three subsequent runs and starts this season of 120.
"I'm sure he'll find something off this mark and he's in at Carlisle on December 2. Doesn't take a lot of racing, best fresh."
DOTTIES DILEMMA
4 b g Pierre - Tellarue.
Point and bumper winner that won hurdle debut over two at Hexham in October, better effort on latest of three runs when two and a quarter lengths second of 13 to Gymdoli back at Hexham November 21.
"Seems to like Hexham, immature but has been a victim of his success so we'll probably give him a bit longer between races now. Will stay over two at the moment but I'm looking forward to fences next season."
FOG PATCHES
6 br g Oscar - Flash Parade.
Two from 11 in chases but has finished second last three starts, latest over three and a quarter miles at Carlisle November 12 off career-high 105 when neck second to Royal Mackintosh. Now 110.
"Very consistent and has improved considerably through the last year and I think he'll continue to progress after a short break. Doesn't mind soft ground and stays three miles-plus."
GREEN FLAG
5 b g Milan - Erin Go Brea.
Point and bumper winner, won maiden hurdle over two five at Hexham on debut in October beating Attycan nine length. Finished 18 lengths second to Maggio next run over three at Kelso November 10. Debut mark of 120.
"He is a chaser and he is exceeding expectation over hurdles, a very honest horse and progressive despite still being a bit weak. Handles heavy ground."
HALLMARK STAR
3 b g Nayef - Spring.
Middle-distance flat maiden in 12 starts, reached 18 for Gerard Butler. Yet to race for present yard.
"Looks like he'll be better on soft ground and he might go to Musselburgh in early December then go back to Wetherby for a juvenile hurdle. Schooled really well, lovely jumper."
IMJOEKING
5 b g Amilynx - Go Franky.
Point and bumper winner, second on hurdle debut, beaten 10 lengths by Morning Royalty over two miles at Carlisle November 12.
"Trainers dream goes on any ground and will have no trouble winning hurdles this season but he might benefit from a step up in trip."
KNOCKANDO
7 b g Milan - Cherry Lane.
In good form January when winning twice off 95 and 106 in three mile handicap hurdles and went to 118. Failed to perform at that level and rated 112 over fences after falling on debut over three at Wetherby November 3.
"Haven't see the best of him and he's come on as lot for his last run. Has an option in a novice handicap chase at Doncaster on December 1 and that might work out because he needs it on the softer side."
KRIS CROSS
5 ch g Kris Kin - Perfidia.
Bumper winner and won hurdle debut over two miles five at Perth in May beating Tepalo a length and a quarter.
"Just coming back after a wind operation in the summer and has been pleasing us in what he's done so far. Looking forward to him over two and a half miles."
LUCKY SUNNY
9 b g Pasternak - Flying Fur.
Rated 110 as handicap hurdler over two miles and might have been three from three in chases but for unseating three out in two mile handicap won by Swift Arrow at Kelso November 10 off career-high 115.
"Should re-named Unlucky Sunny after Kelso last time. Still progressing and is another that needs soft ground so he's well catered for at present. Better at two miles."
NO DEAL
6 b g Revoque - Noble Choice.
Point winner, won second bumper attempt at Carlisle November 12 beating Cloud Creeper six lengths.
"Very pleased with his bumper win, has certainly got the right attitude. Tall and soft ground is quite important - a good honest stayer that has schooled well."
NUTS N BOLTS
6 b g Marju - Anniversary.
Won twice in novice hurdles last season over two miles six and two and a half. Rated 128 when well beaten on hurdle debut over three at Kelso in race won by Maggio in October. Well beaten on chase debut in race two mile event won by Bury Parade at Carlisle later same month.
"Should be out again in the middle of December and we're quite excited about him because his form of last season is pretty solid and he looks like he's going to improve again over fences but further than two miles next time."
