Southwell Race 2 - Dance Through The Decades Christmas Parties Novices' Hcp Chase
KALKAROO (3) Resuming after a break of 26 weeks. Finished 7th last time in a hurdle at Uttoxeter. Expecting improvement. Likely to be well placed early. Should be right in the finish. SYNCHRONIST (4) Below par when 5th last time in a chase at Market Rasen and dropping back to a shorter trip. Solid claims. KUPKA VALLIS (5) First up after 39 weeks and was found wanting late when 3rd beaten by more than 2 1/2L first up last preparation in a hurdle at Leicester. Looks value and a good place bet. WALK THE PLANK (6) First up after a break. Couldn't maintain the pace when 8th last time in a chase at Uttoxeter. Interesting gear change of winkers on first time. Keep in mind.

Mediocre performance when 5th last start in a hurdle at Stratford. Likely to settle back in the field. Cannot have in this race.

Back after a 26 week break. Odds of $5.50 and ran 7th last time in a hurdle at Uttoxeter. Expecting improvement. Shows good early pace. Expected to be competitive.

Started at $8.00 and underwhelming when 5th last time in a chase at Market Rasen and will be down in distance. Has the ratings to win this.

Fresh after a break. Jumped at $13.00 and faded away to finish 8th last time in a chase at Uttoxeter. Winkers go on for the first time. Winning chance at nice odds.
