THREAD: Major changes to the Timeform ratings following the Cheltenham November meeting and two high-quality cards at Punchestown

Protektorat - 149p (from 141p)
It's early days this season but that was one of the best performances seen so far from a novice and he has the tools to make up into a leading light in the division for @DSkeltonRacing

Gumball - 148p
Eldorado Allen - 144p
Gumball had turned it into a rather one-sided affair, putting in a spectacular round of jumping, before getting the second-last wrong and coming down with the race at his mercy, leaving Eldorado Allen to benefit.

The Big Breakaway - 146P
He made a hugely pleasing start to life over fences and looked very much at home stepped up to 3m for the first time, bounding clear up the hill to beat Doc Penfro (133p), a promising type in his own right, by ten lengths.

Coole Cody - 144 (from 142)
He had been given a generous-looking opening mark - he was Timeform top-rated - and didn't need to improve much to land the valuable handicap chase, displaying a willing attitude under pressure to beat Spiritofthegames.

The Shunter - 131p (from 127p)
One of the unknown quantities in the Greatwood Hurdle, he proved his mark to be a generous one, landing a gamble.
He was very strong at the finish and could still have more to offer.

Magic Saint - 158 (from 151)
Proved beyond doubt that he is a two-miler by beating the promising Fanion d'Estruval (153p from 150p).
He ran to a level that would have seen him go close in Sunday's Shloer Chase, so is worth a crack at graded company.

Put The Kettle On - 157+ (from 153+)
She's a tough, likeable mare and took her record over fences to six wins from seven starts with victory in the Shloer.
However, she will need to find much more if meeting an on-song Altior or Chacun Pour Soi.

For Pleasure - 134 (from 130$)
He earned a squiggle for his antics at Kempton, where he proved headstrong and then hung so badly that he effectively ran out, but, back on a left-handed course, he showed a tremendous attitude to keep up the strong gallop.

Abracadabras - 155
Saint Roi - 150+
A stop-start gallop prevented the runners from showing the true extent of their ability, and Saint Roi appeared most inconvenienced having been shuffled back following a sticky jump at the second-last.

He kept on well after the last to get within a neck of Abacadabras and edge out Jason The Militant (remains on 149) to the runner-up spot, and he could be capable of better under more favourable circumstances so he remains in the Champion Hurdle picture.
Pencilfulloflead - 147p (from 137p)
This was one of the best performances in the division so far this season and he will be a big player in the Grade 1 novice chase at Leopardstown's Christmas meeting.
