Time to Parti as Deutsch knows lingo of triumph
Eceparti (1.45) can spark a Christmas shindig at Fakenham.
Shrewd Venetia Williams is heading back to the quirky venue with a six-year-old who has done well there in the past and is starting to look well handicapped on old form.
Eceparti was a winner of a couple of races when rated 114 around this time last year and went down by just a head here having been bumped up to 125 by the BHA assessor afterwards.
Williams’ charge has been unable to overcome higher marks since but has looked to be coming to the boil in two starts this term.
Eceparti has now dropped back to five pounds below that rating when he was runner-up.
The gelding has perfect conditions for a big effort and this can be the afternoon when he gets back in front with the underrated Charlie Deutsch in the saddle.
ALLAVINA (12.45) makes plenty of appeal for the Olly Murphy yard in the opener.
A fourth-placed effort in the prestigious Listed Mares bumper at Cheltenham’s Paddy Power meeting was an excellent performance in the circumstances, with the first three all having the benefit of more experience.
Allavina now makes her timber bow and Murphy will have picked an excellent opportunity for a horse with ability.
JONJOELA (1.15) can take a trappy little three-miler forr Alex Hales.
The hurdler has thrived for her new handler, running a real blinder behind Sissinghurst at Market Rasen.
That is pretty strong form so the likeable mare can go one better off a 3lb higher

mark.
(1.45) ought to bag the handicap chase for thriving team O’Neill.
The six-year-old bolted up with plenty in hand at Bangor last time out so he can follow up against some exposed rivals.
Over in Ireland, there’s high-quality jumping action at Thurles with a brilliant mares’ novice hurdle in the middle of the card.
Sayce Gold has done us a couple of favours in the past wee while for brilliant Mick Winters.
However, this drop back to two miles doesn’t look ideal and GAULOISE (2.0) is a Cheltenham Festival winner in the making.
Willie Mullins has taken possession of this one from Scottish businessman Kenny Alexander and she looks like another outstanding recruit for the excellent owner, who does so well in this sphere.
If you like the all-weather action, there’s one of the last meetings on the fibresand at Southwell before they switch to tapeta.
LUSCIFER (2.15) won’t be much of a price in the opener but he can go in yet again and complete a hat-trick.
Tony Carroll’s yak has been in excellent form and took care of Geography Teacher at this venue nine days ago with some comfort.
The fact that rival came out three days ago and won easily at Southwell tells you y that Luscifer’s form remains tip top and a 5lb hike may m not be enough to stop Luke Morris M booting the three-yearth old ol home. pilot pi Charlie
