Bobbigrey³³

Age: 4| Weight: 12-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 89

5/1

Showed promise on the second of her 3 qualifying runs and worth noting in the betting on handicap debut with the yard going well.

Form: 3540

Cotoneaster^t²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Benjamin Poste| T: R Potter| OR: 87

33/1

Improved second on Uttoxeter handicap debut for new trainer Ryan Potter in July but all of a sudden has something to prove after pulling up on both outings since.

Form: 09F-2PP

Purple Gown^p¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: B S Hughes| T: A Nicol| OR: 87

15/2

Isn't straightforward but she was successful on the Flat over the summer and has run 2 creditable races in handicap hurdles this autumn. Each-way claims under Brian Hughes.

Form: 3455-54

Fillyfudge¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: J M Quinlan| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 84

11/1

A fair winner on the Flat but just modest form over hurdles, including well held on handicap debut in January. Still relatively early days in this sphere and she arrives on the back of some good runs on the level.

Form: 34/70-

Suitably Surprised⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Charlie Maggs⁽⁷⁾| T: S England| OR: 80

11/8

Improver in handicaps, landing a conditional jockeys' race at Sedgefield (17f, good) last week. Has to race off 6 lb higher this time but Charlie Maggs can claim more on this occasion.

Form: 694721

Dropitlikeitshot²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Bryan Carver| T: C Honour| OR: 80

50/1

More chance now handicapping at a basement level and worth a precautionary betting check.

Form: 4958-69

Oneforthefairgreen^p¹⁵⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: S Bowen| T: M Keighley| OR: 79

5/1

Placed twice in bumpers in Ireland but only poor form over hurdles so far. Failed to stay 3m on Uttoxeter handicap debut in June and connections have had a rethink on the trip in the meantime. The cheekpieces she wore at Uttoxeter are retained.

Form: 2PP-336

Inchiquin Spirit^t³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Lee Edwards| T: A Ralph| OR: 73

11/2

Maiden Irish pointer. Fourth in a pair of Hereford handicaps in the spring and may have needed her latest outing there after 5 months off. Her yard is enjoying a good spell.

Form: 4P4P-47

Forecasts

Suitably Surprised (11/8), Oneforthefairgreen (5/1), Bobbigrey (5/1), Inchiquin Spirit (11/2), Purple Gown (15/2), Fillyfudge (11/1), Cotoneaster (33/1), Dropitlikeitshot (50/1)

If this doesn't come too soon after Sedgefield on Thursday SUITABLY SURPRISED might be good for another win. Purple Gown was beaten only 2 lengths when fourth at Newcastle last time and ought to be thereabouts under Brian Hughes. Bobbigrey is a handicap newcomer to monitor in the betting with the Jennie Candlish team in form.
