Verdict
Bonnybridge should be noted in the betting in the final race on the card, as Irish challengers invariably do well in these type of events. Farne Isle could do no more than win on her Sedgefield introduction, but will do well to defy a penalty against the other in-form four-year Nobratinetta. Mary Reveley's charge saw the backside of the highly rated Armagueddon at Ayr before trouncing the opposition at Newcastle next time. She will make up into a very genuine hurdler, but in the meantime should be capable of following up against some moderate opposition. The dark horse is the other Irish raider, Honeybunch from Charlie Swan's yard. Could be anything, but Nobratinetta has the proven form.
