NURSE SUSAN is expected to provide the remedy for the January blues by landing the Listed Unibet Mares’ Hurdle (2.25) at Sandown this afternoon.

Although she turned nine years old a couple of days ago, the Dan Skelton-trained daughter of Doctor Dino has had just 10 starts over timber.

And my selection stepped forward from a defeat at Carlisle in November to land a handicap hurdle for mares at Cheltenham in the middle of last month, beating Siog Geal by two and three-quarter lengths.
