Melleray Hill^p1⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Bryan Carver| T: Anthony Charlton| OR: 88

14/1

Yet to offer much, including distant fifth on 20.5f Plumpton handicap debut only 5 days ago. First-time cheekpieces need to have a transformative effect.

Form: 51/8775

Bobbigrey¹⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Ross Chapman| T: J Candlish| OR: 87

5/2

Showed promise on the second of her 3 qualifying runs. Never involved on her Leicester handicap debut in November but there was money for her and she remains unexposed back from a break.

Form: 35407

Arenas Del Tiempo⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: R P McLernon| T: J & S Best| OR: 83

13/8

Fit from Flat, made a good return to hurdles when second of 6 over 2m at Fakenham last month but ran poorly at Plumpton only 5 days ago.

Form: 03-627

Bluenose Belle²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Finn Lambert⁽³⁾| T: R T Phillips| OR: 79

10/3

Fair AW Flat winner who has shown an aptitude for hurdling in recent months and starts her handicap hurdle career in a weak race. Gtets the vote.

Form: 043

Bellever Tor¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Freddie Mitchell⁽⁵⁾| T: P Gundry| OR: 73

17/2

Pulled up on 25f Hereford handicap debut last month but did hint at ability for the first time when remote fourth of 5 dropped to around 2m in maiden company at Exeter 19 days ago. Needs to build on that now.

Form: 80PP4

Surrey Nemesis^p¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: M Goldstein| T: A Irvine| OR: 69

18/1

No show in bumpers/over hurdles to date but more chance now handicapping from a basement mark.

Form: 009-P50

Forecasts

Arenas Del Tiempo (13/8), Bobbigrey (5/2), Bluenose Belle (10/3), Bellever Tor (17/2), Melleray Hill (14/1), Surrey Nemesis (18/1)

BLUENOSE BELLE has offered enough in her recent qualifying runs to think a low-grade handicap such as this could be within her grasp. Bobbigrey didn't come close to justifying market support on her handicap debut in November but a break since suggests something came to light and she remains exposed and could provide the chief threat.
