So Grateful¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Billy Garritty| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 59| D

18/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. Tenth of 11 in handicap (10/1) at Nottingham (5f, heavy) 13 days ago. In good form prior to that but he's an infrequent winner and may again prove vulnerable.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Aiden Brookes⁽³⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 58

40/1

Latest win at Hamilton in July. Last of 8 in handicap (10/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 22 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

La Boo^h,e/s¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 57

22/1

18/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 11 days ago and she will probably come up short once again.

7/2

12/1, below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, heavy) 22 days ago. Had shaped as though her turn was near when third at Ripon on penultimate start, so she's not discounted.

Form: 707036

20/1

7/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at Brighton (6f, heavy) 12 days ago. Has edged down to an attractive mark but he's opposable from a win perspective nonetheless.

Forecasts

Crocodile Power (3/1), Canaria Queen (7/2), Happier (4/1), Travel Candy (9/2), White Umbrella (5/1), Agnes Grey (6/1), So Grateful (18/1), Porfin (20/1), La Boo (22/1), Blue Jay Way (28/1), Sluzewiec (33/1), Lady Bouquet (40/1)

The vote goes to CROCODILE POWER, who landed back-to-back C&D handicaps prior to finishing a solid fourth at Chelmsford where he probably would've gone closer had things panned out a little better. On that evidence he remains on a feasible mark and gets the nod ahead of the Tim Easterby-trained pair, Canaria Queen and Happier.
