Midnite Aint Your Grandads Bookie Selling Handicap

3YO plus | Class 6 | 1m 1f 104y | 13 Runners | Allweather

(6)

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Jason Watson| T: M Appleby| OR: 65| CD

Three-time course winner who won here over 8.6f in September and ran well when second at Southwell 27 days ago. Rare below-par effort last time and can bounce back in this company, assuming he stays the new longer trip.

Form: 034128

Jodhpur Blue^p,t⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 65

Better on all-weather and, though yet to win a handicap or for this yard, he took a step in the right direction when second of 7 over 11f at Southwell 8 days ago in first-time cheekpieces and could go very well down slightly in trip with Billy Loughnane taking over.

Dr Rio³⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Zak Wheatley| T: D Carroll| OR: 65| D

Veteran who won by 5 lengths over 11f at Carlisle in August and not disgraced from new mark when fifth of 10 at Beverley in September. Can remain competitive back on all-weather.

Form: 875315

Bobacious⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: Ashley Lewis⁽³⁾| T: M R Hoad| OR: 64

Won at Epsom in July, taking advantage of a sliding mark, but has run poorly both runs since and is yet to win on all-weather so others are preferred, especially given his stall 12.

Form: 465176

Risen Again^b¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: William Carson| T: J L Flint| OR: 59

Ran better when recording back-to-back seconds at Yarmouth and Chepstow in August but hard to fancy on last 2 efforts and blinkers now replace cheekpieces.

Just Typical^p,t²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Billy Loughnane| T: Ian Williams| OR: 59| BF

Back down to a handy mark and returned to form back on all-weather when third of 8 in a handicap at Newcastle 22 days ago. Often not looked an easy ride, though, and will need to settle and prove a lot more tractable to do the business over this longer trip.

Freddy Robinson²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Rowan Scott| T: B Ellison| OR: 57

Has been running creditably in handicaps, making the frame on his last 6 outings in this sphere, including on tapeta at Southwell last month. Holds place claims once more.

Form: 422244

It's A Love Thing²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Jonny Peate| T: S England| OR: 57| CD

Back in better form last 2 starts, including when finishing second of 13 over C&D last month. This is a slight step back up in grade but he's a 3-time C&D winner so needs considering with stable amongst the winners over obstacles recently.

Form: 780832

Al Za'ama³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Cam Hardie| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 60

Yet to win in 5 starts and was only eighth of 11 over C&D in September on his handicap debut so looks tough to fancy.

Form: 04-88

(13)

Deep Sleep^p⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Christian Howarth⁽³⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 60

Failed to win for Tim Easterby but gradually going the right way for shrewd yard he's had 3 outings for and they could find the key to him at some point, though perhaps not from stall 13 here.

Form: 447085

Bergamo Gold⁶⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Shepherd| T: C Johnston| OR: 58| CD

Won over C&D in March but hasn't built on that. Wasn't disgraced when fifth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield in August, though, and is now 3 lb below last winning mark so could be a player if returning from 67 days off in top form.

Form: 329845

(11)

Port Noir^t²⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: R Stephens| OR: 51| CD

Has 8 wins at this course, including 3 over C&D, but was well held when 12th of 13 here 24 days ago after 4 months off and may need a few more outings to put her spot on for another winter campaign.

Forecasts

Just Typical (7/2), Dr Rio (11/2), Jodhpur Blue (11/2), It's A Love Thing (6/1), Freddy Robinson (15/2), Bergamo Gold (15/2), Chesneys Charm (8/1), Bobacious (10/1), R P Mcmurphy (10/1), Deep Sleep (14/1), Risen Again (25/1), Port Noir (33/1), Al Za'ama (50/1)

JODHPUR BLUE has managed only one career victory but is a much more solid proposition on all-weather and took a step in the right direction at Southwell in first-time cheekpieces 8 days ago, so looks the pick in this lowly contest. Three-time course winner R P Mcmurphy produced a rare below-par effort last time but will be a threat if bouncing back and seeing out the longer trip, while Freddy Robinson can continue his consistent spell.
